Fans of Dancing with the Stars usually tune in to see celebrities either show grace, talent, and ability, or the fact that they have no rhythm at all and want one last chance at being famous. This year, however, Amber Rose has offered viewers the chance to see how victim culture can be used to advance your career.

Rose isn't exactly what you'd call a graceful dancer, especially coming from the fact that she had a former career as a stripper. Nonetheless, she excuses her lackluster performance and low scores thanks to the claim that she's a victim.

By the second week of the competition, Rose claimed that the female judge, Julianne Hough, had body shamed her by saying her dancing made her "feel uncomfortable."

Hough said that Rose and her partner were mixing up routines saying "this is not a salsa."

Rose took to her podcast and the show and claimed that Hough hated her curves as if she's the only one who contested in the show's history to have an hourglass figure; it had nothing to do with her abilities as a dancer.



On the show, in a soft-spoken voice, Rose told the judge that she hurt her feelings. While Hough clarified that she wasn't referring to her body image at all, the moment was widely discussed, and it won the former stripper another week on the show.

Just two weeks later though after another series of poor scores, Rose suffered from another victimhood-inflicted breakdown. This time blaming the reason that she couldn't dance well because she was forced to wear high heels.

"It's 20 times harder with these heels on," Rose said after failing to nail a routine. "I don't think you understand what it's like!"

Just like Hough, her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy refused to cut her any slack for her lack of ability.

"This is hard!" Rose said while crying.

"Yes, it's called dancing with the stars," her partner reminded her with no sense of irony.

"It's like Sunday, and I have heels on," she said in reply.

The difference between someone like Amber Rose and the professional dancers that show her no sympathy is that she became famous by being Kanye West's girlfriend and Wiz Khalifa's wife. She never earned her celebrity through work always by either being a beauty or claiming her looks were under attack.



Hough, Chmerkovskiy, and most other people are not as fortunate. They had to work hard to get their job on the show, and if they were to fail at their job on a weekly basis, ABC would terminate their contract.

Lacking in any real talent, Rose now maintains her career by insisting people feel sorry for her and keep her employed. She is victimhood culture personified and demands the third wave feminist version of equality while earning a paycheck based on the bigotry of low expectations.

She's not that good at her job, but don't judge her for it. She's going through something.
