But this is not something new. Why do people are offended by Beatrice being pro? It happens in the music business, people with a huge talent for composing and playing instruments that never get a deal with a discography. On the other hand, people that can’t sing or know nothing about music theory but they are at the top of the lists. Even with YouTubers. People who are inept or lack in editing skills get more views or fame than people who know about cinematography and create masterpieces. If Beatrice was winning skate competitions only with her bag of tricks against some other top tier pro skaters I would understand the rage but she is doing her thing with her friends. In business, there is something more important than skills, call it being likeable or being marketable (I don’t know the word in English). This hater behavior is lame.
this is a display how fucked up modern discussions are. the most toxic way of pointing out double standards only to make one thing that is wrong right.
Why would we not complain about talentless musicians becoming rockstars? yes its equally stupid and questionable. I dont like it either. how does this make the argumentation less right?
people double standard everyone just to end up having the worst morals.
"Andrew tate treats women badly that means every man is like Andrew tate and thats misogny thats why me as a woman I have to act like a female Andrew tate to make it fair" wow this thinking is so feminism. I will support her by doing that"
its a chain of stupidity were the first link is already not tolerable and the reasonable backlash ends up making people worse by responding or supporting something equally as bad
People complain about that too, A LOT! It's the same situation but there is some kind of misunderstanding between being a talented skateboarder/musician/cinematographer and being a successful skateboarder/musician/cinematographer. It's not that simple or superficial. There are external factors like being in the right place and moment or know the right people, being marketable, finding a niche... That's the reason we have absolute rippers who spend their whole skate carriers on small brands or even not sponsored. On the other hand, we have OK skaters on top tier brands and making a lot of cash. It's happening everyday, not only with Beatrice. A lot of people are behaving as she was the first case ever.
Skateboarding is not a competition full of rules where you have a tricks check list in order to being pro. That happens only in competitions. I'm not going to tell you how you should understand skateboarding but you have to understand the context of her life and relationships. She has spent a lot of years with a team of skaters (FA), she has been seen in tons of pictures or Supreme/FA videos so she is a very well known skater. Is she the best of the team? Hell no, but then, only the best skater on FA or Vans should be pro. It doesn't make sense. They're a team and every one of them counts. They're FA.
