Drama Denial

KatersOneSeven leaves her fanbase in shambles, then completely ignores it while going on elsewhere about how awesome everything is in her life right now.  Then many of her fans adamantly proclaim in the comments that they're not bothered by her decision, while defending her actions.  I think there's enough denial to go around for everyone!

I know it's bad form to mess with people in comments, but I couldn't resist lately.  It's like some of these people see themselves as completely separate from those who are upset, as if somehow Kate's unprofessional exit wasn't meant for them because they're still loyal fans.  Sorry, folks, but Kate's double middle was directed at everyone, no matter how firmly your lips are planted to her ass.  In fact, I might even go as far as to say she ended it like this intentionally to upset them.  So there is no "loyal fan" and "dedihater."  There's simply one large group of people covered in Ding Ding.

Think about how many incidents have sent Kate into tears, though.  Everything from the stealing sunglasses incident, to her fish dying, to having a meltdown over her hair color.  Each of these incidents, and others, evoked several minutes of tears and response in her vlogs.  So I refuse to believe that if she cared about vlogging at all that she could simply throw her sixty-second bow on top and leave without that producing any visible emotion.  Either it was all an act, or her grand finale was an act of spite which she passive-aggressively enjoyed.  Somehow, some people are fine with that. Or they're simply too dense to think beyond the fanboy/fangirl mindset.

I've heard some little things over the last day or two which are interesting.  There's the screenshot of Cory's Facebook set to "in a relationship" in October, before the New Years kiss.  That could be fake, sure, I dunno.  I don't care enough to dig through his Facebook to find it, if it's still there and not private.  Though then there's the coincidental October 29th vlog, supposedly exactly one year after the Facebook thing, where Cory somehow found tickets in a letter he supposedly never opened to take Kate to Disneyland.  And then we find out that Steph's boyfriend posted a response on a different video to say that Steph left Cory because he'd been fooling around with Kate even back then.  So who really knows what to believe.  At this point though I'd believe pretty much any of it.

As someone who has been generally dissatisfied with Kate for quite a while now (as evidenced by so many blog posts about it!), I can say that I won't really miss the vlogs.  Nor do I believe I would ever start watching them again if she did decide to continue.  If she came back and offered some kind of believable apology and explanation, then I would at least give her the benefit of the doubt.  But I'm fairly certain that the shallow valley girl persona I've perceived has been solidified.  There's essentially nothing left of the vlogs I subscribed to.

At this point, she is quite literally the stereotypical bleached blond aspiring actress living in California who totes a tiny dog in one arm and a Starbucks in the other, following dollar signs wherever they may lead her.  And it will take a heck of a lot now to convince me of otherwise.

My question is whether she bought Ding Ding solely to use to make money on Youtube, or whether she'll scrap that channel entirely after all of this.

On the bright side, it's good for this kind of thing to happen.  There's enough fake garbage out there, from "reality" TV to modern music, than for it to be bleeding over into the vlogging world too.  People should learn to question things more often, and be prepared to accept that it might not be what it appeared.
