This week, Kate tries to respectfully deep dive Tinx’s (Tiktok @itsmetinx) meteoric rise, press, controversy, and content, while attempting to investigate her fans’ pursuit of holding her accountable to some former (and not so former) troubling tweets. She goes over her background, early quarantine content, recent changes, major press coverage, and fallout/apologies following the uncovered activity, then snorkels her Twitter and finds a fascinating level of whiplash with same-day likes and retweets of things in direct ideological opposition. Additionally, Kate shares some context/commentary from her POV as an influencer, and explores high level the implications of always shying away from/rejecting well-intentioned quests for creator clarifications as abstract "cancel culture" that aims to absolve anything of accountability.
