I'm here on tattle so I'm not here to criticise but I am genuinely intrigued...
Has that video made any of you from the Helen threads regretful for things you've written or think about what you write going forward? Here or on other threads?
Genuine question!
I haven't seen the video but assuming she talks about Tattle so yes, to be entirely honest. I think it can be easy to get swept up in criticism and not realize there is a person behind the discussion. I personally avoid in engaging with some topics on this thread as I think they're a bit much. I also think sometimes I've made unfair assumptions and comments that I regret posting to this thread. It is someone's life and I know I would find it so hard to function knowing there's a forum like this out there about me. You don't have to look but like... you would.
Do I regret being here in general though? Not really. I began posting here however because I was just so frustrated with her attitude, she was my fav creator and someone I looked up to for many years and it just began to feel like she didn't give a
tit about any of her followers. The irresponsible attitude towards the pandemic, the meanness and rudeness to followers, the annoying loud persona, the low effort content... these are things that people have tried to bring up in a kind way but we were just treated in a hostile rude manner or blocked. I feel guilty sometimes but then she refuses to take responsibility for her actions and I just get more fucked off seeing her brought up by people I enjoy as a 'fav creator'. It feels like the only place I can speak openly about my frustrations is here.
Youtubers don't owe us
tit but acting like people are nasty for asking questions or criticizing your bad behaviour when you share every single detail of your life online, down to your pubes, is just sheer arrogance. Literally, I don't think I'd be here if she tried to own up to her actions genuinely or had some sort of meaningful dialogue - we all make mistakes but at least pretend you give a
tit about the people who look up to you.
tldr of long post: Yes, sometimes I regret it but I feel very frustrated and often annoyed by Helen's behaviour and there is nowhere else to express this emotion lol
