Several months after the Vivziepop and Lackadaisy team debate
It just baffles me how immature and utterly pointless that entire debacle was. Like, everyone in that situation besides Tracy Butler (the only person who acted rationally) acted like moronic manchildren.
First of, ZeBirdBrain. Need I say more? Her being a TERF aside, she straight up does the exact same thing Viv does and badmouths other artists behind their backs. Second and more importantly, Viv herself. This drama honestly could have been kept under wraps if Viv just politely accepted the rejected donation, but no, Viv had to make the rejection public, to her fandom that she knows is toxic af and whose biggest stans will harass anyone not supportive of them.
Viv honestly could have come across as the good guy (relatively) and painted the Lackadaisy team as the bad guys if she just shut up and acted politely about the rejection. That way, everyone would just see that Ze was being a collosal bitch.
Instead, no one wins. Both sides end up looking like fucking garbage.
I feel so bad for Tracy and how she tried and failed to save the reputation of both Viv and Ze despite their behavior being quite indefensible. An absolute PR nightmare.
