Frankie the "social media mogul" and his volunteer efforts in Malui (Malawi?)
https://act.buildon.org/events/frank...-school/e33062
in case anyone wanted to see how tremendous his efforts helping Poor African Children are going. The fact that he's using Africa as a prop in his game is absolutely disgusting.
This isn't volunteerism, it's voluntourism. His trips to Africa, where he teaches children the important life skill of DANCING, don't benefit the continent or the country he's in (he struggled to pronounce Malawi despite doing so much work for them); they only benefit himself. He can come back feeling like the white savior helping people lesser than him, even though he didn't do anything to help and probably just took pictures with Poor African Children.
The worst of all might've been his blatant whitesplaining of Africa, telling everyone that they can come carry *bricks* in 100 degree deserts, and that it's much worse than the Have Not Room (before begging Christine to not make him a Have Not.) Like... who the **** would've thought that a desolate third world continent riddled with disease, poverty, and war could possibly be worse than a makeshift ice box in a sound studio. Who the **** could've thought that???
I've already vented my frustrations across like 3 different pages in the live feed thread but last night was just that bad. Frankie isn't playing for charity, he's playing for himself. He's playing for himself, Ariana Grande's playing for him, Allison Grodner's playing for him, all of the Arianators and Frankiesteins (rofl as if any Frankiesteins actually exist lbr) are playing for him. This season is a literal abortion of a BBUS season and just confirms how dead this show is as long as AG is in charge.
