Last night on both Makeup Alley and Twitter I said a couple things that seemed to piss someone (or someones) off in a major way!
What started it was someone on MUA starting a poll about Kandee Johnson. For those of you who don’t know who Kandee is, she is a makeup artist who makes videos for Youtube. The poll asked, “Kandee Johnson: Scam Artist or True Guru?”
Yeah. Okay guys, look. I don’t care what Kandee does with her personal life. I don’t care what any gurus do with their personal lives. I will watch someone for their talent, helpfulness, etc. You would think that these internet celebrities spend their spare time slaughtering kittens or something the way people get so angry about them. Reality check: you don’t know these people. You don’t know their lives. Just because you watch a bunch of videos on Youtube does not mean you know a person. It’s the same as making statements about an actress being a home wrecker or slut or whatever because of what you read in tabloids. The bottom line is if you don’t like someone, don’t watch their videos. No one has (to my knowledge!) ever been held at gunpoint and forced to watch someone on Youtube teach you how to groom your eyebrows, or talk about what’s going on in her life, or any of that.
I got some comments on my Formspring page today that I wanted to address. They were both posted anonymously (of course!) since after all this is the internet.

that is exactly what im saying.. why do people bad mouth other when they dont even know them? i agree that if you dont like kandee or think she is a liar or scam artist then dont watch her videos dont do anything that she is involved with simple as that! i tryed telling my opinion to a women that had her own site talking about kandee.. all i said was that she really shouldnt talk about peopleshe doesnt know and doesnt have the facts for. she got all offeneded and started critisizing me. it just shows what kind of world we live in where everyone judges and bad mouthes people. some people just the drama and negativilty one is saying about another. you never hear good things about a person just all this horrible stuff.. its pretty sad.
