Tinx’s Tweets: TikTok’s "Big Sis" Comes Crashing Down

In this week's episode, we discuss TikTok creator Tinx and her tweets that have resurfaced from 2012-2020. We dive into Tinx's background and how she catapulted to viral fame. We go into how her old problematic tweets got exposed, the internet's reaction, and share her apology and the various explanations (excuses?) she's made for them. We explore the questions: Why was the backlash against Tinx so severe? Should we still be cancelling people over past tweets? And do we think this is the end for Tinx's online career?
