i think doja hasnt grown from her offensive blogger persona developed as a defense mechanism & still seeks attention & interaction from trolling unsafe online platforms, the same way she did as a teenager. i don't think she intentionally hangs with the alt right but sites like
tinychat are altright/4channer playgrounds due to the relative secrecy of the platform, so she inevitably did interact with those people whether she knew it or not. its similar to how lots of us went on chatroulette and omegle as kids & interacted with all sorts of strangers
tinychat is just less rapid-fire and if im not mistaken you can create and return to existing chatrooms. its been under fire since 2011 for inadvertently hosting all kinds of exploitative content & the fact that she spent an extreme amount of time on there as a teen paints a
concerning picture. from what i know about her i think she's separated the harrassment she faced from her actual beliefs as an adult but i can see why shes continued to do this to herself
shes so reckless with her platform & the internet. i related to doja bc of her obvious "grown up on the internet" vibes but its clear she grew up on the opposite, differently traumatizing spectrum of the internet - webcam chatrooms & 4chan & reddit. like, compare her & lil nas x
