Lily Orchard is toxic
There's...there's no other way to say it.
As a critic, she's hit or miss. When she's on point, she's very on point. Her take on the Little Mermaid was a very refreshing one.
As a person...
When I first learned about her and Josh Burner's fallout, I thought it was mutual. That they both made mistakes, that their personalities and political alignments were just too different and it was time for the friendship to end. To quote one of my favorite cartoon characters, "Lily could be brash, and Josh could be reckless. And they could both get carried away."
And then I found out about Patchwork Heart. The person Lily defended so passionately against Toonkritic's disgusting abuse, whom she is now spouting vitriol about, simply because they refuse to act like the poor little abuse victim Lily wants them to be.
And then...there's Lizzy. Lily's ex. Whom, in a latest Glass of Water video, Lily describes as abusive.
LIZZY. Whom conveniently has not said anything in her own defense.
I'm still subscribed to Lily. I'm going to continue watching her videos. I want to believe that somewhere, deep down, Lily Orchard is not a bad person...even if she's not a good one.
