I used to watch her years ago but got tired of her performative wokeness. Like, I think she is truly woke but she's also really weird about it and has made it her whole personality and as a leftist WOC who identifies as a feminist, people like Melanie (and also Hannah, to a certain degree) are the kind I actively avoid. Most people go through that phase at 14 and then chill out but she's still at it. I guess it helps her feel different and special from all of the other basic white girls.
Maybe once a year or so, I'll check her out to see what's new and her oversharing is so off-putting. I know all Youtuber/Influencers/Chronically online people do this but she just really takes it to another level. Sometimes she'll say things and I just wonder... "Why does anyone need to know this about you??"
Or the way she'll put out videos about certain topics as if she's an expert or something. I'm just baffled at the entitlement and audacity of this absolute nobody to think that she needs to be the one to tell people that they should love themselves and to yap on about already widely discussed discourse like Wine Mom Culture. Like, I'm sorry... who are you?? Nothing she says is particularly profound or original. These are discussions that are already being had by people much more capable, qualified, and intelligent than she'll ever be. There are dozens of better videos out there on YouTube about all of the topics she's yapped on about by people who actually know what they're talking about, have done their research, and have actual deep, introspective, and thought provoking commentary to make about the topics at hand.
It's just so juveline. Like when toddlers are going through a psychological development and become fixated on certain concepts that are just basic knowledge to adults. It's cute and normal when kids do it but she's a whole ass adult.
From reading this thread, It seems like she's incredibly insecure and unable to deal with any criticism or negative feedback. I suppose that doesn't surprise me as it really checks out with the rest of her "woe is me" personality. She doesn't seem like a very emotionally intelligent or self aware person.
