hello mamas if you were to go to someone's Wikipedia page scroll down to the

controversy section and it was broken up into sections with bullet points, you would probably be justified in assuming that that person doesn't have a career anymore, that they are chopped liver, decaying, and composting.

But in our year of 2026, that is actually the opposite of what happens now.

There used to be like this short little phase at the end of the 2010, start of the 2020s,

where people would cry and bemoan about cancel culture. I'm like, you can't say anything because of woke. And it was like fun. It was like, ha, ha, ha, sure. Like, everything is woke now, blah, blah.

They just look like I, I, I'll buy shit that looks like pajamas and then I'll wear it and I look like I'm going to flash someone. So anyways, um, first off, James Charles, James Charles, James Charles. Everyone knows blah everyone knows blah blah blah like it's been talked to death

you open fucking tic talk there's someone being like um we need to kill him with uh 14000 explosive arrows

like you know like um as a briefer if you don't know serial cancel magnet james James Charles is a beauty influencer who has done, like, name

anything under the sun probably has been on in his Wikipedia controversies tab. But he's a very
