Overview

Doja Cat's TinyChat Controversy refers to a leaked video of singer Doja Cat in an alleged white-supremacist TinyChat chatroom called "Tea Time," which circulated Twitter in May 2020. The video of Doja Cat caused #DojaIsOverParty to trend on Twitter which in turn allowed users to unearth past controversial posts, what she has allegedly done on TinyChat and her song named after the Dindu Nuffin meme. Doja Cat swiftly apologized on Twitter but denied being apart of a racist chatroom.

Background

On May 22nd, 2020, one Lipstick Alley user posted the original video of Doja Cat in the Tea Time chat room in a thread (since deleted) regarding Doja Cat's TinyCat usage.[1] The user went on to explain that "Rooms like this (Tea Time) are culturally racist. She goes on for hours at a time and I don't feel like recording or watching her for hours that doing too much, but they often say racist things and she jokes along, its pathetic to watch but if that's how he raises her self esteem I guess" (shown below). The thread was reposted and removed from Twitter according to another Lipstick Alley[2] thread.

That same day, Twitter user @Agnirre reposted the video and added the caption, "Video proof of Doja Cat being on Tinychat with incels" (shown below). The video garnered over 16,900 likes and 7,000 retweets in four days.

Developments

On May 22nd, 2020, Redditor waterboysound reposted the video to r/DojaCatFans[3] and received over 300 comments and 160 points (79% upvoted) in four days (shown below, left). That same day, Twitter user @bigdavis813[4] posted a screenshot of an annotation on one of her past song lyrics referencing Dindu Nuffin (shown below, left). The tweet received over 6,600 likes and 1,400 retweets in four days. The next day, Twitter user @YanaTheEmpress[5] posted a screenshot of an interview with PaperMag in which DojaCat admits to saying offensive things in chatrooms (shown below, right). The tweet gained over 1,900 likes and 240 retweets in three days. There were a number of Twitter threads attempting to explain why Doja Cat had been cancelled including one posted by @dojobat[6] which accumulated over 11,100 likes and 6,900 retweets in three days.

It took me some moments to realize this, but the main reason I could not finish watching the video was because of the other participants of the chat session(s). The idea of a white supremacist chatroom disgusts me and their responses to her "flirting" are just total cringe to me. In my opinion, they are the ones who should be shamed (at least one upside to this trending).

I find it interesting that they are seemingly taken for granted, while the one who turned out to be famous gets "canceled". It really shows the way celebrities are viewed, although I must admit that perhaps people are simply announcing that they cancel their celebrating of this person (which is their full right if it no longer sits well with them).

That said, I can understand that Doja was younger (and cynical) and therefore not necessarily the person she is today. At the same time, she is not acting that differently in the video of her hitsong "Say so", which is not only a platform where such behavior is allowed (even encouraged) but also what caused her fame in the first place.

Would you not call that a double standard? What did people expect? I think I am a little relieved that she found a safer environment to channel her personality because to me it seems like she has been struggling with that for some time.
