Honestly I think the madeline pendleton/Kat Blaque situation is hella weird and based on he said she saids from both Madeline Pendleton and Kat Blaque that are getting flamed by each other respective followers in their comment sections and this has so many directions and layers of discourse that no one in their comment sections seem to be willing to engage with it outside of online discourse identity politics.

#i will admit I do have biases towards Madeline Pendleton as she as a content creator is very refreshing since her main platform is tiktok #but they clearly have a very unique way of managing their platform outside what is to be expected from your average content creator on TT #Kat blaque on the other hand is clearly a very seasoned almost veteran when it comes to using their platform and on youtube of all things #its clear she knows how to “play the online game” and navigate controversies and discord #i just dont think they are in the same wavelength at all #madeline seems to come from a place were she treats her platforms as a closed forum or space with little regard to interact with others #And i feel like Kat is used to the youtube thinkpieces videoessays and longform dramachannel type content #Kat Blaque treats the Madeline Pendleton discourse as a phenomenon to be adressed and even coins a term named after madeline after she>#>herself saw videos from other people and formed her opinion on her from there and decided “oh you are one of THOSE i know your type”#Madeline seems to be directing her energy in dispelling what she sees as rumors and misconceptions about themselves that they get through #the grapevine rather than engage in the rituals expected of online discourse between content creators #and idk its....a thing #that to say i value the opinions of both content creators and respect what they are both doing in their own personal lives and platforms #in that regard they are both a huge inspiration for bravely living alternative lifestyles and performing praxis and doing work ad educators #in their respectives areas and fields #things are happening fairly quickly and rapidfire so im still trying to asses the situation #it seems that madeline and Kat had a back and forth on TT comments were Kat tried to explain their side of things and MP seemed..#unreceptive to say the least #that anf theres like a million people trying to insert themselves into this conversation #its very much a mess this conversation was one for the DMs not the TT comment section #it seems Kat is trying to get madeline to see their point but they are doubling down on their opinion “i voted for who i voted.”
