Pearl thirsting after black guys, the manliest possible type of guy according to last decades' pop culture, is exactly what a deep closeted lesbian would do if she's protesting wayyyyyy too much and still obsessed with the girl that got away from her. Being female-attracted would explain why Pearl always looks like shit (
known phenomenon among women who aren't actually competing for men) and why she constantly self-sabotages by providing terrible advice that would ruin women's lives if it were followed. She's free to say whatever she likes because unlike the chicks in her audience, she's never going to be interested in touching the peepee. Like, so what if she dated one black guy in high school- lots of gays make a mistake before they figure their shit out- and let's also point out, it's a mistake she's never repeated. Even her tradwife advocacy grift reads as if she's trying to skinwalk her high school crush.
I'm just saying.
