My unpopular opinion - Kacey gets judged WAY too harshly, here at KF. I think she gets blamed for a lot of stuff, that's a pretty natural cause/effect of the circumstances she was under. Also, did
anybody at the time, think that their words and actions would be poured over, and dissected in detail, almost a decade later? Cut her a break, guys!
Just thinking about it now, I could write a 10k word essay, about the bad beat Kacey gets... There's just so many layers...
But how about this? Liquid Chris was a motherfucking superstar, in a way that maybe one out of a thousand people are. He was able to command an audience's attention, like very few people are able to do- a sort of natural showmanship, where he's able to be interesting, even when he's not doing a damn thing. Call it photogenic, stage presence, timing, whatever- I say he's a superstar.
Every time I hear
SHOWDOWN, I'm still like, "That's it? That's all I get? There's no season two? I want more!"
99.9% of us, are going to look bad, standing next to Liquid Chris. The dude was just a naturally gifted performer.
And we're not. Kacey certainly wasn't. (OMG- can you imagine the tag-team power of a Liquid Chris / Jace Connors Team-Up?)
I'm of the opinion that Christorical Figures should
also be judged, by the new information and insight they provided into Chris, not solely on LOLs alone. By that measure, I think Kacey is one of the greatest trolls ever. Think about
how much information she got out of Chris, all the stuff that we know
because of the Kacey Calls. So what if they're not LOLzy? The work she did, the information she got, it laid the groundwork for
other folks later.
So yeah- my unpopular opinion is, ya'll need to cut Kacey some slack.
