Good. “Some controversy” without anything specific in this case means that liberals are targeting them for being a communist but don’t want to say so.
I like that Madeline actually tries to learn about DPRK by reading DPRK's actual media agencies and the theory written by the Kims. Whereas many other people form a view of DPRK through memes and unsourced tweets.
Also she was a participant in the Neustra America aid convoy to Cuba.
They also defend Stalin and point out that Ukraine is run by Nazis, and explains all this in detail and with sources to their audience. Liberals have been gunning for Madeline hard since they called out liberal influencers for taking cash on the downlow during the Harris campaign. I saw it unfold in realtime and saw fresh lies develop
the tiktok style of communication puts me off but i'm not really the target audience i guess
I’m off of TikTok but I don’t think I ever saw anything I disagreed with them strongly about. My biggest complaints were their video lengths (it’s TikTok I’m not here to watch a 10 minute lecture) and that tbey were noticeably too online and let things get to them but I can’t really blame them for that. I’ve never seen actual criticism of them that wasn’t libshit. I think there were some receipts about some liberal tiktokers getting paid to slander her? Or she pointed out that they were getting paid I don’t remember the specifics
I haven't seen much of their content but what I have seen is pretty good, specially since they are very adamant in being pro DPRK. What exactly is the controversy here?
never heard of
Has correct opinions about socialism and imperialism and gets shit for it from butthurt westerners. I've seen multiple rounds of "controversy" around them so far that all turned out to be complete bullshit, until I see evidence to the contrary I will be correctly assuming this is also bullshit.
apparently they defended Casey Anthony or something or as i’ve heard
If she did you'd have seen receipts, definitely bullshit
trueee, dont shoot the messenger tho
What's the controversy?
idk, apparently they dogpiled on someone and sold shitty trousers? thats what I heard, they are getting cancelled or smn ig
they're a pretty typical white leftist tbh, and that comes with all the dressings n fixings.
They at least recognize it and often link to poc leftists on TikTok because they know where they're weak
thats good, honestly only know about the situation with Kat Blaque; Kat's politics aside, optics were bad for Madeline.
I don't care for her presentation style. Very off-putting, and I imagine even more so for people who aren't already commies inclined to agree with the content of what she says.
What did she do now?
What she says is true and good, but, like you said her presentation could put others off. Myself personally, I also dislike her presentation, but do keep hoping she fights the good fight.
Idk I feel like their presentation is pretty typical for a political tiktoker
Yeah I suppose so, it's not for me, I am old lol
Yeah, political tiltok is full-cringe no matter what side the person is on. It's like fake-informal lecturing no matter what the topic is. It's very off-putting.
I like their content overall, but I don’t give a shit about online drama and will scroll as soon as it comes up.
I know nothing about the controversy, but I wish Madeline had pronouns listed somewhere easy to find because it sounds like there were pronouns somewhere at one point but I don’t watch the videos so it is hard to tell whether the acceptable pronouns have changed? Lots of people here are using what it sounds like were once listed while others aren’t (or are switching it up).
they were roundly criticized for telling a white cis woman their pronouns, so it might be linked to that. there was a whole thing about how it represented white enbies wanting the clout of black trans women. there wasn't a whole thing about cis people demanding they know your personal connection to anything to prove you really care about it
