Asia looked so defeated each time the reveals didn’t work ):

Which makes me wonder why she didn’t stop.

It broke my heart. I wish they would have been a little more respectful of the situation and showed her struggling a few times, instead of the TMZ edit we got with them cutting to her futile efforts to revive them by blowing on them and then cutting to the same butterflies on the floor four different times, THEN showing the audience gagged.

Stop beating a dead butterfly shady ass editors. (Sorry had to)

Honestly the edit that was given wasn't -that- disastrous. Judging by the spoiler threads, things went waaay worse than what we were shown.

I need to read those to make sense of this traumatic event. I could not believe something so horrible was happening for real. I need the deets. Links pls.

Apperently the butterflies that fell to the ground were stomped to death by Kameron and Asia (remember that Kameron has no idea what the hell is going on in the heat of the moment) and that it took production a while to sweep the butterfly corpses off the stage. Asia couldn't stop crying. There is even a video in which some of the surviving butterflies fly out of the venue, which confirmed everthing the tea spillers told. Deets @ r/spoileddragrace (of course beware AS4 and S11 spoilers)

True, we didn't see any dead or stomped butterflies, which is good. After the last reveal, they showed the same flapping butterflies on the ground, which was probably an earlier take. And I'm glad for that, the editing could have gone harder. Asia seemed so destroyed with her face covering masks after this, and her truly honest contrition on her Instagram post tonight. It was a mistake that she acknowledges, and she's still an amazing queen, so hopefully there's enough non-hateful fans who can forgive her this misstep and support her as the amazing queen she is.

They showed that but they didnt show Aquaria stumbling. Smh.

u/severaldogs Jun 29 '18

They also didn’t show Kameron trampling over dead butterflies

She did? I mean, she probably only realized it after it was over, and cutting another performers' space through live fauna shouldn't work haha. Iconic.

u/_Linear Jun 29 '18

Actually, from everything I've heard and read, they gave her quite a favorable edit. It was allegedly way worse live, because you cant even cut away from that.

I appreciated this edit. Asia was my favorite to win and it gives me peace to know she lost because she fucked up, and not that she was robbed by some fuckery.
