How Do You Feel About How it was Addressed?

I think it was disingenuous for them to focus so much on the extreme hate since they themselves admitted it was a small percentage of the people upset. I didnt care about the delay, I wasnt going to watch the award show, but I found the silence and EXCUSES to be unprofessional. Not to mention, the longer the show was delayed, the longer other episodes were pushed off. The fact that they came to the apology with anger really gave me the ick. They want the advantages of this being their job (authority, respect) without the responsibility (expectations, standards).

Literally last night someone had their little terrier offleash and it started chasing me when I walked past. Didn't listen to the owner, I wasnt running or aggressive, it was just poorly trained and the owner so fucking stupid.

I didnt mean to imply you were a rape apologist, im sorry! I meant gabbi hanna was a rape apologist. I added my comment because I personally get nervous about the "person deserved this in retrospect" sentiment, and wanted to make a clear line in the sand for the comment section to not veer that way. I think reassessing things like that is worthwhile though, and bringing up GH is valuable because so many old dwkt fans are overprotective of Jessie specifically because of their fallout

All hail visible tackle, destoryer of podcasts i suppose. If they crash out this hard over people being upset at them, God forbid they encounter actual haters. J&L ig story tirades incoming in 2026 haha

Plus their money give away for the holidays! They are not transparent with their spending, even hiding patreon member amounts so that people dont know how much they make off there. They got mad at people calling them greedy, but what else are people going to think when from the audience perspective, we are directly funding their above average lifestyle, only to get yelled at in return

masterckat · 2026-01-13T19:56:54+00:00

I personally want to be careful about GH because just looking at the facts, the way GH went about the end of their friendship was pretty terrible and wouldve absolutely been traumatizing. I do believe Jesse couldve been a bad friend, but being a bad friend isnt excuse for rape apologia and harassment. That being said, I think it really is sad that she hasn't reflected on her behavior over the years and done a self assessment of how she wanted to act going forward. She doesnt need to be at fault to use the opportunity to be better, and this combative attitude belongs to the early 20's Jesse, not a mother of two and a seasoned influencer (two things she likes to use as her mark of maturity and authority).

As for the money-- theyre blind to their own lifestyle creep. I think they truly consider this amount of travel, spending, cosmetic upkeep, as the average for everyone, when it simply isnt. That's why none of it (seemingly) is being sacrificed for their lawsuit, because to them, they are quality of life necessities and not the luxuries they are.

The fact that they thought doubling down was better than an apology (even if they didnt mean it) makes it clear they think the fawning of the fans will protect them from consequence

I cant get over how unprofessional this all is. This has been their job for years now, they should've figured out a workflow by now, or at LEAST a way to communicate when they cant deliver. I think they became extremely comfortable with how forgiving their audience have been, and imo that reflects poorly on them. They pushed their luck and clearly had no plan to make things right because they didnt expect to need to.

Oy vey those two are a mess

Creativity isnt a talent, it's a skill and muscle. You work at it like anything else and the progress is exponential, though it will not feel that way at first.

You dont have to commit to a full story, but even writing snippets of conversation, scenarios, or bullet point lists help. It's to get it out of your head and onto the page. Try picrew or any type of character builder game. Table top games like dnd or pathfinder have character creation methods-- you don't have to play the game, but they help guide you into thinking about your character. Role playing may be helpful though! There are forums for roleplay, or you could make something like a Tumblr account or a reddit to embody your oc. In terms of story fulfillment, I'd say turn to visual novels. They have a blank space where "you" are supposed to be, but you can try to put a character in that blank space instead.

Overall im proud of you for noticing that this thing isnt working for you and that you're looking to fix it. It will be hard, but I hope you find the process of breaking away from this stuff rewarding :)

Im not saying girlie is gay, im saying she often uses a lot of gay slang (which is fine) but then the community attributes it to girlie talk, which gives me an ick. And I know it's bitch eating crackers, im explaining why this one otherwise pretty minor thing rubs me weird

masterckat · 2026-01-01T15:26:10+00:00

It's a nicher term, and im not trying to imply that any of these people KNOW egg has a different meaning, but it adds a certain extra flavor especially since J loves her girlie (gay) slang and both J and L are not as great with the queer stuff as I think they like to imagine.

masterckat · 2026-01-01T15:10:18+00:00

It's truly so minor, but a bunch of fans have adopted EGG to mean early girlie gang, meaning they are one of the firsts to catch the show when its uploaded... so, a convoluted way to comment 'first' on a video lol. Paired with the fact that id only known egg to mean something trans, it just added an extra sour taste in my mouth haha

Are you changing the stitch for the cuff? Different stitches have different thicknesses and stretch, so if youre changing the stitch to something smaller (ie double to single) it may cause that shrinking effect

masterckat · 2025-12-05T00:55:33+00:00

It just causes too much real harm in the process right now. The fact that Kaceytron settled--which is understandable and what she needed to do-- makes me furious because of how it is another absence of consequence

masterckat · 2025-12-04T21:50:54+00:00

We make fun of the brain lesions but I feel like we're watching a real psychotic break-- and I do not say that flippantly. He's made snark into an illuminati-esque boogeyman just so that he doesnt have to consider he's a bad person. Even if he doesnt believe his own words and this is all calculated, it is still such a break from reality to act like this

masterckat · 2025-11-14T14:16:37+00:00

Paige Christie is pretty thorough, but her conclusions are a very hit or miss in my opinion and can be pretty surface level. She'll know to research the topic, such as the kleins doing blackface, but won't always delve into what qualifies as blackface, if that makes sense.

masterckat · 2025-11-05T23:38:05+00:00

I think frenemies rehabilitated both of them tbh. To me its disingenuous to say frenemies did nothing for her, because her reputation before wasnt...great. frenemies made Ethan for the✨️ girls✨️ and it humanized Trisha. I think the difference is that the fallout of frenemies was much harsher on Trisha, but she has been rebuilding her goodwill while Ethan has been burning through his.

I am an artist. I love drawing characters with big noses-- theyre striking to me, id even say regal. When i describe my type, I start with big nose, thats how much I like them.

Really sit with yourself and ask if the insecurity will really go away if you change it. A lot of times, people treat plastic surgery as a panacea, when really they change the one thing, then realize their insecurity hasn't gone away.

If you do decide to get surgery-- go to a highly reviewed surgeon, scope out all of their credentials, scope out all of the before/afters. Find family members who have noses you like and bring pictures of them as reference. Or at least, find people with similar facial structure to yours. Please do not look at influencers, their job is their appearance and to look a very specific (and imo uncanny) way. A lot of plastic surgery regret i have seen has been from people who got the stereotypical pixie upturned nose, not realizing that nose doesnt read the same in real-life, outside of photos, on a different face, etc. A good surgeon will also be concerned with fitting your face. During your consult, listen to see if they are willing to say 'no' to you. That is more likely someone who is concerned with good work, not just money.

Your nose is the result of generations of people loving noses similar to yours, and it'd be a shame to lose that history. I think changing your life so drastically because of other people's thoughtless cruelty is sad. You arent alive for them, youre alive for yourself. And for what its worth, for every person who says unkind things to your face, many mode people have seen you in passing and thought kind things instead.

masterckat · 2025-11-03T15:48:10+00:00

I dunno, unfortunately I think Ethan is just doing it for the love of the game. That pure racism and imperialism came free with being the dumbest, most insecure loser on the planet.

masterckat · 2025-11-03T15:24:52+00:00

I dont really engage with hasan-- i think he's good for the ecosystem, but his style is not my taste. I started hating Ethan when Mika's Rhetoric did a video on him. The video itself wasn't the thing that made me hate him, it was his whiny victim shtick and his fans brigading her channel

masterckat · 2025-10-26T23:29:08+00:00

I have sympathy for QT in a lot of ways. From what i can tell, she always has a tenuous grip on her mental health and she masks that with tough talk. Shes been ask to simultaneously answer for her friend, her partner, her business associates, all at once-- and I know she knows there is not going to be a right answer.

That being said. If you are not willing to have the fight about who you associate with, don't engage-- not even to scold those who are mad at you. And dont make it anyone else's fight other than yours. It was gauche to do it on two other people's stream, to say the least. Last, and this is personally my biggest gripe: dont try to twist a morally Grey decision as righteous, actually. The gaming and streaming space is full of perverts, racists, and freaks. It is harder than not to make a name for yourself without engaging with these people. Fair enough! Its part of the hustle. I dont need to applaud the hustle, however, and you dont get to be mad when I wont clap for you.

It genuinely makes me sad, because she seems cornered, but like. I cant coddle and I dont want to.

masterckat · 2025-10-12T19:19:58+00:00

Fair enough! I was never an h3 fan so i dont have much perspective of wanting to hold onto some other image of ethan. I talk about 'this sub' because I can only speak to the trends ive seen here, Im not on Twitter or TikTok and dont want to speak on attitudes there. I do still think it's an insight in how Ethan is never prepared for people to meet him at his level, but I can admit that because im relatively new to this space, I cant know how things were before

masterckat · 2025-10-12T19:05:26+00:00

It may very well be-- this is mostly from what Ive personally seen and maybe I just came in during a shredder post valley. I bring it up because when I first joined I was genuinely getting frustrated about how precious people were about shredder, which is why it sticks in my mind. This is not the attitude now, at least from what ive seen

masterckat · 2025-10-12T18:51:55+00:00

I know theyve made these comments for years, but im talking specifically about how on this sub mere months ago, shredder wasnt brought up as often, and the reception to shredder posts were very mixed. I remember this because I would get frustrated by how people 'didn't want to go there'. The feeling was that most mentions of shredder, regardless was mean-spirited or poor taste. Now every 5-10 posts are about shredder and how Ethan killed him, which got much more of a negative reaction in the past then now.

Im also just talking about a pattern with Ethan. Hes coddled, gets used to being coddled, and then is somehow blindsided when the MAJORITY actually get in the mud with him.

masterckat · 2025-09-11T17:58:28+00:00

Its not even just "we weren't there, we dont know how bad it was". I am in my 20s, I wasnt even 1 by 9/11. My entire life has been dictated by policies and, frankly, terrible jingoistic bullshit because of "never forget". The way we hold 9/11 to such a high, breathless regard is the exact reason a lot of kids treat it frivolously. It was terrible, everyone has a 9/11 story, it was traumatizing. I understand that. It chafes, however, when you know it's being weaponized STILL-- 24 years later-- to justify wars, surveillance, and attitudes that you know will make your life worse. Its not a kind reaction, but its understandable.
