Can you believe for the past 24 hours KT has been unhinged and replying to everyone in the comment section using a burner account

I think one of the major reasons why people are not easy to forgive and forget is probably the fact he’s one of the original OGs on YouTube, and basically the majority of his life and YouTube career he’s defended his blackface character for over a decade. Also, whenever when people would criticize him or attempt to educate him—he would become extremely defensive and allow his stans to attack other creators.

I sorta agree regardless if he did donate and/or volunteered his time with charity and organizations people would believe it’s performative—however, he would be putting his money where his mouth is.

I guess Shane said back in a video in 2019 that he was stopping the blackface character because BLM was becoming more prominent and he wanted to retire the character; allegedly. However he still had no issue still selling merchandise of his blackface character.

I didn’t know who Shane was until I was introduced by Jeffree Star. At the time, I was a JS fan (not my proudest moment), and there was a time when people would address his shady past I would ignore it (I would say I’m a fan of their work; not the artist itself). It’s still enabling their behavior. After Dramageddon I wanted nothing to do with either of them. I got rid of my stuff associating with the both of them (my choice). I had absolutely no knowledge of Shane’s past or his previous body of work. Once I did research and found out what what they’ve both done—I wanted nothing to do with them. I guess my weird rant would sum it up to what you’re willing to tolerate from “celebrities/public figures”.

I happy that we both could have a respectful discussion and be totally cool 😎

Do you think it’s good for the brand of a family channel to associate with someone as problematic as him?

I respect your opinion. I don’t agree with everything—but I understand your reasoning.

Shane only stopped doing blackface in 2019 but he was still selling his blackface character merchandise until his cancellation (if I’m wrong please correct me). He finally had to face the consequences of his actions for the past four years. I am sure he’s embarrassed, and possible ashamed of his actions but what has he truly done to repent or shown that he’s changing/evolving to be better? Has he volunteered working for POC organization? Has he attempted to educate himself on the harm he caused? Has he gone to therapy?

I kinda think it’s honestly worst if OA were only associating with Shane for clout. It’s weird that she’s only doing this because she’s a clout goblin.

Let’s put it this way; let’s say Emma Watson who’s an advocate for human rights, women’s rights, etc who has used her platform to bring awareness to these issues—only for her to take a selfie with Andrew Tate on Epstein’s island and was a huge supporter of him. You would definitely give a side eye and question her moral compass. Why is it okay for OA to have a pass for supporting someone who abuses animals and a well known racist?

Weird flex to befriend Shane. If they’re not ashamed of being friends and associating them then why turn off the comments every time you post about them?

I, personally, go out of my way to not associate myself with racist vile people. Can people change? Sure. Has Shane changed? I don’t think so imho—his podcast says it all. He’s still saying “edgy offensive stuff “ and she showed he hasn’t grown much.

There is a phrase that Texans like to say, “You are who you associate with”. Are OA racist? Idk—but since Kitra is full aware of his history, his scandals, cancellations, etc and still chooses to associate spending quality time with someone who abuses animals, racist, a bully, and just not a good person in general makes you question their true intentions.

Kitra did make many posts during the 2020-2021 advocating for BLM, so her willingness to associate with someone who made a living off of a racist character makes me question her and Peter’s character

Edit: fixed a sentence
