All Quiet on the Western Front

So the KatersOneSeven drama has presently quietened, but still left in the air.  Though there's still a few things worthy of note.

First up, Kate deleted her final vlog.  I'm sure plenty of people saved a copy, but it's not exactly anything worth keeping in my opinion.  The only thing of possible value in it was where the beginning referred to the car break-in thing, and one might have been able to use that for possible evidence in their theories.  Apparently quite a few people question the validity of the situation.  Other than that, sayonara. (UPDATE: She made it visible again shortly after writing this, with comments disabled.)

Second, commenting was also restored on the other videos.  But as I predicted last post, it's all been radically pruned, with censoring and possible blocking gone into full effect.  Personally I roll my eyes at the "out of sight, out of mind" method of damage control. This situation is way too big to quietly sweep under the rug.  Just address it already.

Third, she mentioned on Twitter that she's "so excited for my vlogging idea I can't even tell you! I've already started!"  I'm not quite sure how you can have a "vlogging idea" given that vlogging can't really be any different than it ever was, other than changing the schedule on which you post them, and I can't see how one would be excited about that.  But hey, it's pretty much the first time she's really even addressed the situation, so there's that.

I saw someone say something in a comment somewhere which I think was relevant enough to repeat, which goes along with what I was saying before regarding crazy fans and stalkers.  Basically they said that if Kate and Cory were worried about their safety, then why are they still Tweeting/Facebooking/Keeking?  Absolutely true.  You wouldn't end just the vlogs if you felt that it were an immediate safety concern, you'd cut all of it off.  And I'm fairly certain that Cory said something in a Tweet which may have hinted at blaming that break-in incident for the vlogs ending, but I can't find it now to be sure.  But either way, whatever, I'm calling bullshit on it; safety couldn't have been a concern based on their online behavior afterwards.

Speaking of Cory, I did engage in a brief dialog with him regarding the Seann Larson thing, part of which you've seen, which essentially resulted in him repeating that he had no reason to defend himself.  It concluded with this:  "Please stop bringing this up. I didn't do anything wrong and I shouldn't be involved. I just make people happy for a living."  The Tweet is still there, mind you.  So I told him okay, that since he asked nicely, I'll respect that.  Then he thanked me, and that was that.

That being said, I do still think that his response didn't really answer anything, and the "just make people happy for a living" part was really unnecessary and diverting from the point.  As to whether he did anything wrong, he's not specific on what in particular he means.  I'm to assume he means that he didn't cheat on Steph with Kate, but the "I shouldn't be involved" part maybe implies that he's referring to the situation with Kate ending her vlogs.  So who knows, no point in trying to dissect it.  He's obviously not going to give a clear answer on the issue of him/Steph/Seann/Kate, so I plan to keep my word on not bothering him about it anymore.

I mean, other than the Seann Larson comment, the only real evidence that I've seen of the rumor regarding Kate being with Cory before New Years are a couple of screencaps from Facebook, and I don't tend to believe anything on the internet unless I can see it for myself.  That's especially due to seeing some actual fake stuff out there, such as Kate supposedly calling some guy a nigger in an email.  So it's all still speculation as far as I'm concerned.  All I know is that Steph sure lived at the apartment for quite some time after Cory stopped wearing his wedding ring, which throws enough of a wrench in the rumor for me to have no idea what the hell to believe.

I think the only other thing worth mentioning is that a few people seem to be upset that Kate Tweeted a picture of herself wearing things that Dedikaters sent her, mentioning that they make her feel safe.  Folks are saying that she rarely wears their stuff, or certainly not that much at a time, and that it's obviously to suck up.  I think the timing is certainly suspicious, but I can't really offer any opinion beyond that since I honestly have no idea if she wears that kind of stuff often.  I don't pay attention to her jewelry, and don't care enough to go and look!

I guess that's it.  Everything else is pretty much them still behaving as if everything's normal.

Oh and hey, thanks to everyone who's started following and commenting on this vlog.  It's nice to be able to discuss this with folks and try to figure this mess out in a place where we won't get deleted for doing so!



p.s.  I forgot to mention, Kate's subscribers have stopped dropping, and went up by a small amount today (Friday).  I assume the trend will continue, making up for any losses, and eventually life will go on with people likely forgetting this all ever happened.
