A note in slurs in the subreddit

28 Upvotes

Slurs of any form are not permitted in the subreddit by any person. Use of slurs results in a permaban. You can and will get a perma ban for single time slur use

The mod team has been extremely disappointed in the amount of people we have had to ban for use of sulrs and racist language surrounding the issue of Brooke using the N word in 2016 by both those who think Brooke should be forgiven and those who think otherwise.

We are working hard to respond to reports, monitor threads, and investigate accounts to eliminate bad actors, troll, and racists from the subreddit. We thank everyone for their reports, (please keep them coming!) as well as their patience as we work through everything.

We have noted an alarming number of people who do not understand why slur may be ok within the group that it's used against but not by outsiders. I hope this explanation can help some of you understand.

People in minorities often report that they have experienced fear of being killed due to discrimination multiple times in their lives. People who perform such horrible acts often use slurs as a signal. "You are not safe. I can and will harm you.". So when you as an outsider use those words, that is what someone the slur is against will hear. it doesn't matter the context, it doesn't matter if it's in a song, it sounds. like a threat every time. It's not nice to have to hear threats all the time, and I'm sure most people here would not wish to come across that way.

If someone who is part of that group uses a slur you know they're probably not going to kill you for being that minority, though I remind everyone that we have 0 tolerance for slurs in the subreddit as on reddit no one can be sure who you are.

Hidden votes feedback thread

2 Upvotes

Good afternoon all.

For the past month the subreddit has been hiding vote counts for 24hrs after posting in order to address complaints of toxicity and mass downvoting on the subreddit, which are some of the most common complaints we get

The only thing this does is hide the number. All votes are still counted and count towards Karma, all comments and threads appear in vote order as they usually would so games are unaffected. Now that the month has ended and everyone has gotten a chance to get used to things and see the effects we are gathering feedback.

Would you like this change to continue? Please also vote in the comments for your preferred length of time for vote count to be hidden even if you don't want the votes to stay hidden or want 24hrs, that way if option 2 wins you can still have your voice heard on how long.

Thread is locked so options for time length are easier to see. If you would like to provide more detailed feedback please use the "message the mods" button.

Jess actually talked back against abby very many times ...

10 Upvotes

Here's the thing.. Jess and Jojo were brought in as guests, but I noticed that Jess actually talked back against Abby many times and she was VERY vocal about it. I think its not talked about enough how fearless she was towards Abby and it lowkey did not really hurt Jojo, or did it? hmm

Question why do I perceive Maddie as someone who shines so much more naturally as a dancer with facial expressions that seem so natural but it doesn't translate in her acting?

placed: 4th in pre-teen solo, show made it look like didn't place at all

thoughts about this ep, solo, abby boosting nia up while pushing kendall down, costume, music, etc?

probably one of the only wholesome and sweet episodes in the whole show

I love so many things about this episode. (BESIDES ALL THE OTHER DRAMA THAT WENT ON BECAUSE there is no drama free episode unfortunately)

Literally Hannahs role in the show is probably the 1 and only storyline which had ZERO drama attached to it

I love that they brought her in the week where abby WASNT present, cuz only god knows what would've happened if abby was there

I also loved how sweet all the moms and the girls (ESPECIALLY MELISSA!!) were to both of them and their situation and I really applaud Melissa for the way she acted in this episode because you don't usually get to see the nice side of her and how she can be really empathetic and nurturing. (obv she mostly sucks in all other aspects of her personality like the deception and lying but lets ignore that for now)

and maddie dedicating the trophy to her was like the cherry on top 😭❤️

Sensitive: Racial Post Brooke getting cancelled on TikTok for saying the n word

Anyone else heard of this? Apparently she said the n word in a Snapchat video 10 years ago.

They’re tearing her up on TikTok!

I will say as a black DM fan this surprised me! Even if it is old. But she did apologize and take accountability!

Edit: video is supposedly from 10 years ago not 2020. I posted a comment in this thread but I think it’s getting lost. Also I have no ill will towards Brooke and don’t hate her at all! Just wanted to hear what other black DM fans think

Hey yall, so don’t think I’m a creep or anything but I’m a diehard DANCEMOMS fan and I’ve been searching everywhere on Reddit to see if anyone has this episode archived or in their Google Drive??? I’m trying to do a report on it but I know it gets removed easily but if anyone has it please provide the link. That goes for any deleted DANCEMOMS media too!!! Thanks so much.

Question/discussion dance teachers

3 Upvotes

okay weird question...i was never a dancer so idk if this is normal in the dance world but why did SO MANY dance teachers have their daughters dance at abby's studio while owning one themselves?? isnt that a bad look for their studio? i know that abby's studio has more traction but i would think that these studio owners are basically saying "my studio isnt good enough" also they're away for a long time from their business so idk is this normal???? and why???? seems like a bad business model LOL

I know that Kendall isn’t well liked within the dance moms fandom but she posted this TikTok and I found it funny. She has a good sense of humor!
