Australians Sign Petition To Hold Raygun ‘Accountable For Unethical Conduct’
The name Raygun has been splashed across headlines and memes after her disastrous performance at the Olympic Breaking event in Paris.
While talk show host Jimmy Fallon and everyday folks like Barbara down the street are chiming in, the 36-year-old Aussie’s flop has sparked a national debate.
Was her performance an embarrassing blunder or a valiant attempt at pursuing her dream?
Critics argue that Raygun’s lackluster routine was an insult not only to the Australian Olympics team but to the country itself.
Yet, there’s a growing chorus of supporters who admire Raygun for following her passion, even if it didn’t go as planned.
The real head-scratcher is how Raygun, despite her mediocre showing, emerged as the top female breakdancer in Australia.
Commentators like Andrew Voss are baffled, questioning why such a poorly received performer was chosen to represent Australia.
Adding fuel to the fire, the International Olympic Committee’s decision to include breakdancing, a niche subculture, has been widely criticized.
Enter the Change.org petition by “Someone who hates corruption,” which is shaking things up.
Addressed to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the petition slams the selection process, suggesting Raygun’s inclusion was both questionable and corrupt.

It accuses Gunn of manipulating the process to secure her spot, while other more talented dancers like “G Clef” and “Holy Molly” were overlooked.
