Normally when I talk about Alli and Charles and their channels I try and keep it separate because they are both doing their own thing, but I came across some comments recently that made me want to vent a little.

How can people say that Chase vlogging now (for a very short time btw) is the same as when Allie started vlogging and that it makes no sense for him not to get hate like Allie did? It makes complete sense because the situation was handled totally differently. To put it bluntly, Chase was introduced in a mature way while Allie’s introduction was literally made into an annoying joke (squiggles anyone?)

When Allie started vlogging she had already been shoved down everyone’s throat (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube) there was no slowly getting to know her because no one was ever given that option. then before you know it she went from being really uncomfortable on camera (Which we were regularly reminded of) to doing a pretty big amount of vlogging, having a new twitter and instagram, being part of the vlog intro, having a podcast with Melissa, getting sponsors, and having her own YT channel.  Nothing about her introduction into the world of youtube/CTFxC gave anyone the chance to move on from the separation and really get to know her at a normal pace, and it didn’t help that Charles constantly reminded us that if we didn’t like her ASAP we could basically go fuck ourselves because that’s how life works according to him. Everyone must move in fast forward like he does.

When Chase was introduced it was after Alli mentioned him in another vlog. There was no catching a glimpse of him in the backround or spotting them out and about, and it definitely wasn’t announced weeks after the separation video while everyone was still hurting pretty bad. She literally mentioned him and things moved forward from there. She didn’t claim he was uncomfortable on camera and then film him and blur his face. She didn’t constantly posts pictures and tweets reminding us just how happy and amazing they were. She officially introduced him on a vlog the same way you would introduce someone if you were meeting them in person and then made it clear that he would be in the vlogs if and only if he was comfortable.  When people instantly asked how they met she got straight to the point and didn’t beat around the bush. She didn’t have people there feeding her details. Chase was right there with her and he didn’t say a damn thing because he knew Alli had things handled.  Once he became a regular in the vlogs nothing felt forced.  they weren’t all over each other or being overly sappy. They were together and happy and that was enough for them. There was no need to constantly remind us of it because we could see it and that’s all that mattered to them.  Most important of all though, Alli never made her viewers feels that they HAD to like Chase or tell us if we didn’t we were “turkeys” or”haters.” She respected that people were going to embrace him however they wanted to and THAT is why when he vlogged there was no one complaining about it saying that it didn’t feel right or was too rushed, because it wasn’t.
