Well dude, how about you don’t go on a 90 minute rant about a black female skater you don’t like?  Where’s the fraud in what Beatrice is doing?  It’s no more fraudulent than GH’s little kiddie Twitch daycare he runs with his Patreon.

I’m even a fan of this guy usually, but he’s not moving correct in my opinion.  He’s not using his power and influence wisely.  He’s going after extremely low hanging fruit, which is doing the exact opposite of elevating the conversation (as I felt he was before).  Definitely some right wing Fox News hatebait bullshit.

Also the irony of Joa calling out Skate Twitter soy boys with his nasally whiny delivery… I think we’re all a little too used to him at this point but the dude’s a total mama’s boy.

She hasn’t put out a part, that’s the fraud in his eyes. It’s not that hard to understand.

Nah, like all Slap threads, this will soon be digested and reiterated across Gifted Hater’s opinion-based content to come.  95 percent of everything that fella’s said originated here, that’s a fact.

Yeah, you’re definitely one of those types lol

Or it's a not a silly reason. Almost like it's just an opinion either way huh?

I think the important thing is that we don't label someone racist or misogynistic just because they criticized a black woman. It seems like some people in this thread want to live in a world where it's simply not allowed to criticize a person that is underrepresented in some group/activity, no matter what the criticism is. And if that type of criticism happens, it automatically means the person making the criticism is bigoted. That's insane to me, and I don't want to live in that world.

You bring up some good points. It’s definitely a matter of taste, and I really was trying to say I didn’t like the path GH was on.  I think he’s partially fueled by his hatred for Dill, which could be clouding his judgment somewhat.

I think it’s pretty fucking rich y’all can be so blind to the ultimate screechy “yeah but ummm” soy boy in Gifted Hater.  Most privileged dude out there, and yeah, some of his takes are pretty fucking fried lately.

How old is Beatrice? Everyone saying she's been hooked up by FA for like 10 years got me tripping. I can't imagine her being older than like 21 tops. I guess that's not too farfetched, but people make it seem like she's been an industry staple for over a decade, which lol no.

This is a good and correct take. Dude is targeting someone in an already marginalized group in skating (and life) and that seems bad. He's really taking a track that is veering into some weird Tucker Carlson territory.

Yeah Beatrice isn't out there dropping street part after street part, but yeesh... what a target.

You can come out and say she isn't doing the same things as other pros and feel like you're dropping some truth bomb that nobody wants to admit... but really all you're doing is pointing out what everyone already sees/knows/understands on some level, yet we accept and support her because she's still doing something groundbreaking. Are nerdy white skaters really going to try to set the bar for how much/what type of footage a black female pro should put out? I sure hope not. Her career isn't for the Gifted Haters of the world. In 5-10 years there will be a black girl putting out legitimate parts because Beatrice's Instagram got them stoked. Try to explain how that's a bad thing...

Beatrice, if you're reading this (fat fucking chance), it really wouldn't hurt your case to put out a proper street part lol. But I honestly don't give a fuck, I really see no worthy reason to hate. Wack shit. It's so goddamn easy to pay attention to anything else in skateboarding if someone or something isn't for you, and even easier to find funnier topics or people to talk shit on than Beatrice Domond. She's been low hanging fruit here for a few years.

Last but not least, @Kook Me Amadeus you have got to be that skate Twitter dude that GH put on blast on his IG story... or that dude's friend or something lmao

Edit:
Roba is also correct here... Samarria Brevard is one example that comes to mind. But there's undoubtedly enough space for Beatrice and her pro career in skating. She has a following and that matters, she definitely does actually skate, and honestly she fits FA pretty well. I hate FA, but she fits haha. I mean, if Sean Pablo gets to have a career, she does too.

Is he really platforming for a black woman to not have a board/place in the industry? What kind of shit is that?

I’m flattered by the suggestion but I’m just another anonymous skateboarding fan with an axe to grind.  Would never use Twitter and I have an extremely small circle of friends  8)

What is she doing that is groundbreaking? Not trying to be snarky, that is a genuine question.

Also curious, dressing a certain way?  Certainly nothing groundbreaking about her skating.  And before anyone says “what about Sean Pablo, Ben K, Aiden, etc.” … the difference is all those dudes actually do, or did, fucking rip at one point.  Even Swan was improving rapidly for a minute, back lipping tall ass rails and shit. 

No, skateboarding is not a meritocracy, BUT you shouldn’t be pro if a) you were never that good, and most importantly, b) refuse to push yourself whatsoever on a skateboard once you’ve “made it”.  It’s not all about the skill, but putting in work should be a prerequisite that I, and clearly many others, feel she hasn’t put in.

what would you guys say if he completely omitted her when going through each and every FA rider? Wouldn't it be weird if he went through an entire company's roster to examine a mostly stagnant team, and then just skips the newest pro who has the least output of any of them?


I don't feel that strongly one way or the other about Beatrice having a board and I generally like her skating, but I don't think some of you guys are really thinking your points through here.

I think he was trying to avoid it for as long as possible but then a highly upvoted comment on his Steezus roast called for him to give Beatrice the business

Like most of this thread every topic he brings up gets beaten to a pulp at which point nothing even makes sense

Mentioning her in his YouTube video was sort of whatever, I think we’re all talking about this now:

probably breaking his patreon rules but here's his latest stream where he devotes the first hour just talking about skate twitter and his response to the beatrice hate

GH didn't really even do anything to change Mama Skate other than entertain his audience with jokes about her brand

She had no sales before GH talked about her, so what difference did it make that he made videos about her besides have us all point our fingers at her and laugh?

Same thing with Tyshawn bench debacle. Maybe he didn't clear the bench, maybe he did, but Thrasher didn't give af and was still gonna give him SOTY over Nyjah.

In case you’re actually asking, no. 

Skate Mama’s ridiculously overpriced 1400 dollar pants were the primary target of GH’s videos about her.  And based on how predatory that pricing was for such a barebones product, it seemed like a fair reason for scrutiny. 

Dill turning Beatrice pro, however, is not even remotely in the same conversation - certainly not worthy of crossing the line into attacking this girl just for not skating up to a certain standard.

Again.. it’s not about her lack of skill, it’s the lack of trying.  People disagree with her pro status because she used to be much better at skating and it no longer seems like she’s trying.  She’s regressed, won’t do anything about it, yet still talks in interviews and ig captions like she deserves everything she has.

And again, no one really disputes that either.

It’s just like, maybe don’t make hour long videos attacking this person.  It’s not a good look.  But I guess some of you can’t wrap your heads around the nuances here.

Edit:  sorry if that came off rude, the Benzos are wearing off.

Part of the reason GH went in on Beatrice specifically when he could have gone after so many other kooks in the industry is because she's given media attention as a representative of skateboarding. Him arguing that she shouldn't be pro serves to reinforce the greater point that the features about her in NYT, Vogue, etc. are unearned and a bad thing to encourage due to the standard they set in the subculture. That you can be rewarded for putting in subpar effort granted you can talk yourself up enough in interviews and market yourself as a respectable figure. His criticisms of Dill and those who prop her up as an "industry plant" attest to this point.

I hear you for sure.  But doesn’t that sound a little fear based?  There’ll be others if we allow this!  I’m all for some healthy gate keeping, but how is a Black girl who went viral on instagram, who inspired tons of female skaters over the past decade, getting pro status on a dying brand so much of an issue.  It sounds like some right wing scapegoating.  So many other influencer skaters get coverage like that too.  She’s paving the way for other female skaters to follow her path.  The next generation is already set up so much better.  Just don’t buy her board if you don’t like her.

If she is put on a pedestal for attributes other than her skating, she is not paving the way for other female skaters. She is paving the way for other influencers to steal the spotlight from people who actually put the work in.

Maybe that’s not fair, and I’m happy to be proven wrong down the line
