#and then accidentally forgot to make that part clear in the actual episode ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sorry that i cant shut up about this silly little case that's only like 10 mins long, but i went through the tmagp tag again. and its also amusing how the "the appropriation of AAVE and overuse of genZ slang this ep was believably executed and intentionally done as a commentary on influencers" interpretation will both have people saying, "well it was meant to be annoying and unnatural because it's a white character using it" without knowing the VA is black, and then people who do know, apparently making an argument along the lines of, "well it mustve been appropriate usage of AAVE because a British black person was saying the lines."
Because nuance is a thing, i don't think it's necessarily all the same people saying both things at once, but it does once again speaks to how this case really wasn't all that well-written, vague in it's intentions and themes, and gave Madam E very little characterization, making a well-founded interpretation difficult and messy
