Tinylocks, Flix and the Australian girl community should’ve been the subject of that Netflix documentary. It’s wild that Raygun seemed so passionate about misogyny in breaking, yet allowed the girl community to suffer for what she did in Paris. Thank you so much for this interview!

Thank you for this podcast. As a person outside of the breaking community, this has been incredibly insightful. Saddening that to hear that there is also rampant misogyny within such a unique and diverse community….There’s so much that has been left out of the wider conversation and it’s so maddening the bgirl community has been left so unsupported and damaged - stay strong!!!!!!!!

Ex Melbourne graffiti artist here. I've seen Tinylocks perform and have been to a number of local breaking events. It breaks my heart to see the fallout of everything that eventuated. I agree that hip hop culture is about pushing each other to be better and personal accountability has always been top tier. Kind of sad to see the coddling of peoples minds have created these types of situations. Its a lose/lose situation.

30:37 this is the infantilisation, as Tinylocks said.
Raygun got undeserved props from the boys, and was subsequently protected as if she were a baby needing help.  Really reveals that underlying sexism Raygun was always complaining about but wrapped around her as protection every moment it suited her.

irony of all of this that it was Rachel’s PhD research topic

Thank you so much for this much needed conversation Candy. As a Bgirl since 2001 from Chicago and now in New Mexico♥️ I agree so much with all that was shared. The impact was felt on such a level that it dehumanizes us womyn and tries to decide what’s best for us when they are not us. I’ve been in the scene for a long time, yet I also know I’m a learner and it’s important to be in this culture. This entire moment took over & all the good and all the progress we have made totally overlooked, like we became an international joke 😞. Like you all said, we were reaching a moment where people took us seriously and now to feel like we’re a monolith is painful. Yet we’re all so tenacious and we’ll keep taking space and making space!! Shout out to my sisters who I look up to Lady Champ, Pilot, Rokafella, Beta, ABgirl, Jessefecks, and you Candy & so many more, you all taught me so much by just being who you are❤! To my crew Zia Queens Crew from Albuquerque,NM who stand with one another and truly are sisters/fam. I feel like us Bgirls need to get together and have a retreat and connect. How can we create a system for us within the scene that gives us autonomy and empowers us, you know? Thank you all so so much. Loved this podcast, so needed! I love breaking…it’s my foundation…it’s where I feel most alive and we deserve the respect and uplifting we deserve!

33:10 and she also wanted to assume a role as breaking celebrity without ever being called out ever. She know 100% you were going to say some things she didn’t want to hear, and honestly I’m susprised she wasn’t acting like, “sorry it’s my media rep/a TV interview” 😂

THIS WAS EPICCCCC! I loved every minute of it. This was exactly what was missing from the doco. I’m so inspired even as someone who’s not in the breaking scene. So much respect for bgirls and the shitttt you’ve all been through because of this. Also loved seeing you all give flowers to those who came before you. So cool! Thank you. Such a good podcast

She could have been like Eddie the eagle… if she had a sense of humour about how crap she was… instead she doubled down and took herself so seriously! Like it was some academic exercise not the Olympics!! Both her and her husband are delusional!!

Oh, Im so excited to see you ladies speak! Yall were the ONLY thing that made that docu interesting!

Great to hear their perspective

Such a good interview. All the info I was looking for that was lacking in all the other content covering this.

This was such a great conversation and so insightful on how the breaking scene and especially Australian B-girls were affected. It's such a shame Netflix just completely ignored the aftermath of the Olympics. Thank you!! :)

This is such a good perspective, as an Aussie non breaker. The damage Raygun has done to your community and the way she reacted to the comedian is the real problem. She made a poor choice and is making it everyone else’s problem.

And wow how frustrating the boys are. Telling you to build your sills in your own, then saying you’re not good enough to help like that’s not perpetuating the problem in the first place. And telling you guys to sort it out amongst yourselves but stepping in the moment you do. Men

Thanks Candy for highlighting this very overlooked part of the story. This was such an insightful chat but absolutely necessary. ❤

Positive Energy Always Corrects Errors✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽!!!!!!!

People really like YouTube videos about what Netflix left out of the raygun documentary YouTubers really should keep making them

I just wanna say how this conversation was so beautiful, thoughtful, and needed! Your stories and perspectives need to be elevated so thank you, Candy for centering these amazing women. Makes me proud that breakin was the first dance I ever did.

And this is why it's important to hear both sides, keep it up Candy!

Incredible women speaking their truth. Thank you for such a powerful and inspiring interview.
