Category is.... Boomer vs Gen-Z!
Listen, we've all had tech issues before, but most of us are thankfully dealing with them behind closed doors. You'd think after almost half a decade using Zoom, fewer of us would need to be reminded to unmute before speaking, yet here we are. Unfortunately, current Canada's Drag Race vs the World competitor Kennedy Davenport was experiencing technical difficulties on X (formerly Twitter) for God and the world to see. Instead of calling tech support, she tweet-yelled profanities at her fellow drag queens — both reasonable options, in my opinion.
It all started when Miss Fiercalicious, a Canadian queen also currently competing on Canada vs the World with Kennedy , tried to launch a "space" on X. A space is an audio call on X that can be started by anyone with 600 or more followers. It's like a combination of a podcast and Instagram or TikTok Live. Simple in concept, but apparently, complex in execution. Miss Fiercalicious posted about her space, inviting spectators to listen and collaborators to join the conversation. Davenport was immediately incredulous and perplexed, responding "Gurl what is this!!!!!!!!!"
We're off to the races. She then tweets another 12 times about her continued issues (which have been compiled below), and which I do believe were not entirely her fault — but still had us, and the rest of the internet cackling.
Truly, is there anything more frustrating than having a problem and getting droves of strangers suggesting you try something, especially when that something is the first thing anyone would think to do in your situation and a possible solution you have already tried to implement multiple times to no avail? Absolutely not. It's worse than death. Kennedy Davenport is a smart and capable adult, and Elon Musk has made X continuously more and more inoperable since purchasing the site, so I know who my money is on for causing this screw up.
None of that makes her reaction any less hilarious. It's giving auntie struggling with technology energy, and honestly we're delighted. This is one of those internet moments I think is just going to live with me forever. Sorry to anyone who might encounter me making an error in the future, because just so you know, this will be my internal response.
