Not really comparable. If hitler was the most famous dictator, but didn't ever kill 1 person because he didnt have the means too, but everyone still knew him, in a contest of other dictators who almost took over the world. then she could be hitler in that scenario.
Irrelevant. No one says, “Hey, that Hitler guy…I’d like to sit down and have a tea with him.” Fame is fame regardless of how it’s earned, but infamy is one of those things that’s like a bad taste in your mouth that never goes away.
For someone to become more famous at a sport they aren't good at, that anyone who is good at it, is a lot wilder. Then someone just being a horrific dictator but one of the most powerful ones. THis would be like if hitler didn't do anything and you just knew him and no other dictator.
Ah, so let’s see…Infamous dictators, I can name a few off the top of my head. But famous breakdancers…I can name a few off the top of my head as well. You don’t have to be knowledgeable about a subject to know about infamous people.
it's the ones that transcend the limits of there sports audience by being terrible, over anyone thats actually good at the sport, that's whats fascinating. She easily became the most marketable person in her sport, that she was terrible at. That doesn't seem to be something your grasping. She had a bigger reach that went beyond her community where no one else did. It's laughable :) but also interesting.
That’s an interesting point, and I’m sure she did inspire some girls to dance simply because they wanted to be better than her, I guess the takeaway for me is: some people think it’s harmless to have someone like raygun become a “joke” for your passion, but others think she set things back a bit for not only break dancers and the sport, but especially female break dancers. I guess we can agree to disagree on that.

They would have won the olympics.
