The bizarre outpouring of emotional incontinence in the aftermath of Olympic gymnast Simone Biles quitting her team’s finals has continued, with the BBC describing her as “superhuman.”
Sorry, what?
Biles made headlines when she pulled out of two Olympic gymnastics events after making an error in one of her performances, abandoning her team and letting down her country.
She later cited both social media pressure and ‘mental health’ as reasons for withdrawing.
Some questioned why an elite athlete trained to perform at the highest level would give up so easily, suggesting that her reasons for doing so may just have been convenient excuses for a poor performance.
However, such people were denounced as monsters by vociferous mobs of people who insisted that Biles be seen as an “inspiration,” “heroic” and “courageous.”
The BBC went further, choosing to lead with the headline that Biles’ behavior was “superhuman.”
Fucked up. Gave up. Abandoned her team mates. Let down her country.

The quote is from Nile Wilson, former British gymnast and 2016 bronze medallist, who said, “As athletes, particularly Simone Biles, the attention and validation comes from being a superhuman. I always call her the female Hercules and she definitely will feel all that pressure.”
Another athlete, Chris Mears, also told the broadcaster, “As a man, I am saying that we do not talk enough about mental health.”
This is of course completely absurd since people talk endlessly about “mental health” all the time, a practice that has coincided with soaring depression and worsening mental illness.
Maybe people should stop wallowing and start focusing on creating healthier thinking patterns that aren’t based in self-indulgent “poor me” self-obsession.
As we document in the video below, the bizarre insistence that weakness is strength and failure is success is part of the woke mob’s jihad against language and common sense.
