As the Pink Pony Girl, Chappell Roan has built a reputation as a fierce and unapologetic icon. With her affinity for medieval fantasy and her unwavering commitment to being her authentic self, she’s become a beloved figure in the LGBTQ+ community. And in a world where many pretend to be progressive, but are actually complicit in genocide, Roan’s unapologetic attitude is a breath of fresh air.
The "Good Luck, Babe" Singer’s On-Stage Antics
The "Good Luck, Babe" singer consistently endears herself to fans with her witty banter and on-stage antics. During a recent London performance, Roan took the time to recognize a fan’s unique camera setup – a Nintendo DS (or 3DS, probably) – and showed her support for the fan’s commitment to the bit.
A Fan’s Unconventional Camera Setup
The now-viral clip shows Roan pointing out the fan’s unconventional camera setup, exclaiming, "Bitch, is that a DS?" before laughing and encouraging the fan to continue taking photos with the device. It’s a testament to Roan’s understanding of the appeal of committing to a unique approach, even in a world where smartphones have professional camera-level fidelity.
A Nerd’s Love for the Nintendo DS
As someone who used their PlayStation Vita as their primary photo device for two years, I can attest to the appeal of committing to a bit. And Roan seems to get it, supporting the fan’s unconventional camera setup and embracing the nostalgia of the Nintendo DS.
A Love Letter to Games and Nerd Culture
This is the third time I’ve been able to cover Roan on Kotaku, and each time, she’s shown her appreciation for games and nerd culture. Whether it’s chatting about video games or gay video game shit, Roan is always game. And as someone who loves to geek out over games and pop culture, I’m always here for it.
The Unapologetic Pink Pony Girl
Chappell Roan is a force to be reckoned with, and her unapologetic attitude is a refreshing change in a world that often pretends to be something it’s not. As the Pink Pony Girl, she’s a shining example of what it means to be unapologetically yourself, and I’m honored to have been able to cover her antics on Kotaku.
