JamesR, I take many issues with your posts.
But first I will note:
It is quite telling and highly ironic that you openly acknowledge being guilty of the same supposed deficiencies for which you hurl scathing criticism at others -- and which you call unforgivable.

Gracie was referencing that video. She and Mao and the other skaters had fun making it. She's a teenage girl making a reference in fun to a video she participated in with Mao. Her only mistake was not realizing how her comment would be perceived.

And contrary to what you would have us believe:
And contrary to what you would have us believe:
- Gold's original tweet was not a neutral reference to the title of the vid.
