“I’ve listened to every episode of ICYMI and I loved it when rachelle and Madison were the hosts. There’s been a couple times where I’ve noticed a misinformed or inappropriate comment (when rachelle described awkwafina’s blaccent as trying to have an “American persona” comes to mind- she IS American, don’t perpetuate the “perpetual foreigner” stereotype please) but all in all I enjoyed the lighthearted and generally well-researched takes on pop culture. Candice however has brought quite the mean girl energy to the podcast. The diss on realtors (“has there ever been a realtor you wanted to know MORE about” with reference to selling sunset) was really rude and unnecessary considering they both seem to be interested enough in them to somehow bring up Selling Sunset every episode. Candice comes across as someone who thinks she’s incredibly funny and slays at making cutting remarks but in reality is just mean and insecure. Also, the amount of white people hate is getting ridiculous. The attitude on this show is that cis het white people have never contributed anything positive to pop culture and the remarks sometimes border on straight racism (note: I’m neither white nor a realtor but i just generally disapprove of sowing animosity between races). Please replace Candice with someone who can bring this show back to its original funny, positive tone.”
