#like i'm a third of the way into her debunking video and she's still explaining microscopes to me

[aseriesofunfortunatejan]

I don't like Ann Reardon anywhere near as much as I used to so I might be biased, but something about the way she talks makes it feel like she thinks her viewers are fucking stupid. Especially since she doesn't seem to have a very young audience. I understand the good intentions behind her content - and she still puts out some good videos, she can be flawed and still have qualities of course - especially as she has a focus on debunking misinformation.

But I feel slightly uncomfortable watching her microscope video. I actually appreciate the opportunity to look at some things through a microscope. I don't think it's bad to explain microscopes to anyone who may not have had earlier access to that knowledge. But the way she does it makes me feel like she thinks she's the only person with that knowledge and her adult viewers need their hand to be held to understand basic information.

Viv's 2018 apology post was 100% about herself and reeked of Logan Paul vibes. She said a lot of shit that aged particularly bad.

She spent most of the post complaining and trauma dumping rather then explaining her controversies. She claimed she made "weird art" which has tons of different meanings. Weird art can range from borderline NSFW abstract art, TAWOG Various Art and the obscure media. Not drawing porn of a 17 year old and trying to claim the person you falsely accused did it.

Viv forced Dollcreep to draw uncomfortable art which gives vibes of BhaalSpawn forcing Nintendogal to do most of Stolkholms content. (BhaalSpawn is Lily Orchard.)

Viv interacted heavily with DaniDraws who drew in their own words Statutory Rape Art, yet Viv's against the art itself.

She is so controdictory that I'm certain she was always a proshipper who lies and appears to have changed when she did not. The apology is proof of that. She never apologized again after that because she genuinely can't apologize at all. She has to make it about herself. How can this be acceptable at all? Also she said that people were complaining about caring for cartoons rather than real life people which is ironic.

Time is truly a flat circle.

Vivziepop’s 2018 “apology” said nothing and something at the same time. While yes, throughout the post, Vivziepop does tell her side. But it’s done in such a vague fashion that the only way you would know what situation she is talking about was if you were there for those moments in real time or a YouTuber like Ayy Lmao made a video about the drama.

An example of Vivziepop’s vagueness is in the first section of her “apology” (not counting the introduction). In this section she talks about an ex-friend and called him abusive. Mentioning several aspects such as credit, contracts, and being accused of stealing a character.

When I first read the “apology” I was thinking this could be about Kendraws but then that wouldn’t make sense since the two fell out around 2020 and were still in contact during 2018. Vivziepop used he/him pronouns and would misgender Ken using she/her.

So, the only other person I could think of who potentially fits the description Vivziepop described is Doll Creep. If that first section of the “apology” was hypothetical about Dollcreep, then she needs to provide proof that he is an abuser.

Not everyone follows Vivziepop and many are left in the dark of what happened. And forced to do their own research and search for what happened. If you understandably don’t want to do research there is not much to do besides to take her word for it.

I’m skipping the second section of her “apology” which is about Zootopia and Disney rumors which I don’t care about. But the third section is about transphobia and racism. The transphobia allegations were never debunked.

(Vivziepop misgenders Kendraw who uses they/them).

Vivziepop knew how Blair White and Shoe0nhead were controversial, yet still drew them and posted it on Twitter. Vivziepop should’ve taken the “L” and just admit that she shouldn’t have drawn them in the first place and moved on.

Interestingly enough she mentions not supporting blackface in an edit. Yet, she never disavowed the blackface that happened with an Alastor cosplayer.

The only time Vivziepop utters the word “sorry” is regarding this post being serious.

Like you mentioned, Vivziepop was also vague regarding her “weird art.” In conclusion, Vivziepop gets a F- for her “apology.”
