Your problematic fave. A phrase heard around the world. But where did it come from? Who gave us the label used for such titans as Andrew Hussie, Jennifer Lawrence, Azealia Banks and Light Yagami? Today, on a very special episode, Kendall and Ceres interview Liat Kaplan, creator of the infamous tumblr blog YourFaveIsProblematic. They discuss the events that lead up to the creation of the blog, the rise and fall, the evolution of celebrity culture, writing an article for the New Dork Crimes, and the 2010s tumblr era that shaped us all.PatreonTwitterWebsiteCeres' TwitterKendall's TwitterLiat's TwitterLiat's InstagramWorks Cited and Further Reading:Your Fave Is Problematic BlogMy Year of Grief and Cancellation by Liat KaplanCancelled at 17 by Elizabeth Weil
