Someone said they were named after Little Rock Nine folks but “apartheid names” which I saw in the comments sounds so much more hilarious so we rocking with that...
13368563, Sound like Midwestern names to me.

13368567, more like 'born in the 1940s-1960s' ass names

13368583, also looks like she borrowed heavily from another WOC's concept

I just said in PTP last week I didn't get her appeal.

13368607, Y'all talk about her like Trump supporters talk about Soros

Maybe you're right.
13368615, Is it a coincidence that the footage was stolen?
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Feb-24-20 11:57 AM
That seems odd as hell.

13368640, Yeah, I can't run with the idea she obviously stole from the other girl

There are definite similarities on the surface but you have to see the two underlying works to see if it's more than coincidences.

13368645, Well you can’t compare if the footage was stolen

Wouldn’t be surprised if the big studio hired a goon to steal the footage.

Gotta save/backup your footage to the cloud these days.




13368641, They sound more like they'd be hanging with Chalky White
