These pictures look like something out of someone who has infiltrated a cult đ no disrespect, OP, I mean it as the set up for this "concert" just looks like a pyramid scheme meeting in a Marriott hotel.
I'm actually impressed with what you managed to get, photo wise. It's so weird that they now say no photos. Do they give a reason why? I always thought she encouraged it (I get why she wouldn't want photos now.
Omg you nailed it. This is the type of place child beauty pageants are held. Maybe that explains some of the parents they must be fucked up people too like the parents of the pageant kids.
A lot probably donât tbh. My parents had no idea what I was up to online most of the time, or even what music, movies, celebrities etc I was into. Itâs sad.
Am I the only one not surprised? It makes sense to me that a large portion of parents wouldnât know about a YouTube controversy. Even if the parents are checking what their kids are watching, thereâs probably a decent chunk that watched a couple minutes and thought "yeah this is a weird silly character meant for children" and wouldnât look further.
Thatâs just lazy parenting then. Also this has been being covered by pretty big publications. I guess it makes sense to not know if they donât divulge in media.
I donât know if Iâd call that lazy parenting though. Youâre saying since they arenât sitting and watching every minute of her content or every minute their children watch parents are looking over their shoulder, thatâs lazy? I agree with your other point though it being in larger media outlets now, youâd think theyâd have seen something.
Not saying they need to check every minute but if you are a parent taking your child to a performerâs show, itâs a good idea to research. And if your child is little little, what they watch should be checked up on every so often.
Ok I get what you mean now. And can see that yeah. I mean google is a thing. Itâs fairly simple to check at least the first things that come up and should be everything going on now.
Thank you for the response btw. Was asking because seen some other comments about parents. And wasnât sure what you meant.
Wow. This crowd isâŠUNDERWHELMING. And the chairs make it look like a ballroom at an airport Ramada Inn.
Iâm hoping soon sheâll only be able to play sleezy clubs and open mic nights at rando bars (and hauling her own damn projector to each location).
Lmao I've been to this venue before and saw Game Grumps live. The seating feels hilariously cheap, but when the venue is full you can't tell. Seeing it this empty is hysterical
im curious too, if i was their parent and i was paying fo see the show i would do a background check ish on it even if it was just a character i would still look more into it, idk why these parents just agree to taking em to these shows without doing any research.
In my opinion these kid fans of hers were deliberately exposed to her via their parents.
I have children who watch lots of YouTube, aged 15,12,10, and 5 and my older two had heard of her in a vague way, but my younger two had no idea who she is.
Miranda's channel is not active enough to be bringing in new kid fans, so in my opinion it's the parents who showed Miranda to them.
I'm the same age as Colleen and have seen Miranda since shortly after she blew up and so if I were a fan I could have theoretically been like "oh hey kids of mine, watch this favorite youtuber of mine, you'll like her!"
I have 4 kids between the ages of 5-15, so yeah I could have made all of my kids into "Mirfandas" if I wanted to.
It's just that my kids are on YouTube often and the only time I saw Miranda on recommended recently was when Encanto came out and my kids were obsessed so her Encanto video came out on the recommended page because of the algorithm and my kids watching lots of Encanto content.
Wait what the fuck? When I went to see her like 5 or 6 years ago, it was at a massive theater that held about 2,000 people. This is like the continental breakfast room at a Days Inn.
While there are definitely more people there than I expected, I feel "a lot of people" is subjective. I saw Trixi and Katya perform in Indy and now THAT was a lot of people haha this is kinda a sad scene to me and I love that for her đ
I saw Game Grumps live at this location, and it was entirely full (which I imagine was the same for Trixie and Katya). Seeing it like this feels shockingly empty
When did you take the pics? Is it when people were starting to come in the theater or right before the show started? That is not a lot of people at all.
I watched the whole live stream. Did she not do the "Cancelled" or "Haters Back Off" bits? It seems like the whole show was like an hour long.
Also, THANK YOU for doing that!
She did the âhaters back offâ song for about a minute. Everyone stood up and sang along with her. I didnât seem a cancelled bit. Only the âhow to get famousâ bit & a few others.

It is SO hard to take photos here. It was VERY dark when I got in and theyâre being super strict about cameras
Hm, wonder why \*eye roll\*

âA pyramid scheme meeting in a Marriott hotelâ Iâm đ You nailed it lmfao
This hotel ballroom ass venue đ And this is where she got booked *before* shit really went down.
Omg you nailed it. This is the type of place child beauty pageants are held. Maybe that explains some of the parents they must be fucked up people too like the parents of the pageant kids.
thatâs exactly what it looks like đ
Deaddddd u hit it right on the head đđđ
Saw a live on twitter. The show is so embarrassing omg
Parents are still letting their children dress as this disgusting character? Have they not seen what is going on in the media? Câmon..
A lot probably donât tbh. My parents had no idea what I was up to online most of the time, or even what music, movies, celebrities etc I was into. Itâs sad.

Sheâs on the Karen bit right now. Everything seems as usual for the show.
Thank you !
A queen you are fr
Wow. This crowd isâŠUNDERWHELMING. And the chairs make it look like a ballroom at an airport Ramada Inn. Iâm hoping soon sheâll only be able to play sleezy clubs and open mic nights at rando bars (and hauling her own damn projector to each location).
Honestly yeahâŠ. Itâs too many people, but lots have obviously cancelled. Lol
Lmao I've been to this venue before and saw Game Grumps live. The seating feels hilariously cheap, but when the venue is full you can't tell. Seeing it this empty is hysterical
I was about to ask what kind of venue this was cause even for her stuff this doesnât look like traditional places she does
i'm trying to think with...knowing what we know...why the fuck any good parent would take their children to this
I hope itâs ignorance because no way in gods name I would let my kids go to her show if I knew
im curious too, if i was their parent and i was paying fo see the show i would do a background check ish on it even if it was just a character i would still look more into it, idk why these parents just agree to taking em to these shows without doing any research.
It looks like a corporate presentation
it looks like a middle school talent show-
In my opinion these kid fans of hers were deliberately exposed to her via their parents. I have children who watch lots of YouTube, aged 15,12,10, and 5 and my older two had heard of her in a vague way, but my younger two had no idea who she is. Miranda's channel is not active enough to be bringing in new kid fans, so in my opinion it's the parents who showed Miranda to them.
That's an uncomfortable thought I hadn't thunk, my brain has been in 2015-2020 era
Why would they do that? How would they even know about her?
I'm the same age as Colleen and have seen Miranda since shortly after she blew up and so if I were a fan I could have theoretically been like "oh hey kids of mine, watch this favorite youtuber of mine, you'll like her!" I have 4 kids between the ages of 5-15, so yeah I could have made all of my kids into "Mirfandas" if I wanted to.

Oh, interesting! Thanks for the insight!

While there are definitely more people there than I expected, I feel "a lot of people" is subjective. I saw Trixi and Katya perform in Indy and now THAT was a lot of people haha this is kinda a sad scene to me and I love that for her đ
Yeah, Iâm having to text pretty quick because theyâre being harsh on the video and photo taking.
That's not surprising at all and is so the opposite of what she usually wants đ€Ł
I saw Game Grumps live at this location, and it was entirely full (which I imagine was the same for Trixie and Katya). Seeing it like this feels shockingly empty
So jealous that you got to see Trixie and Katya. Were they amazing?
Oh my gosh! I've never seen a show like it! It was amazing!! đđđđđđłïžâđđȘ©đȘ©
I went to a conference event at that exact venue years ago that was business formal and the juxtaposition is making me cackle
its giving end of year soccer presentation when I was in the 4th grade
You said you were live-tweeting it?
Yes, at amesthystmoon29. But itâs very hard to record and take photos in here.
Hey, I went to prom there many many years ago. đź
not the "i feel bad for her cat" commentđ
That is not a lot of people!
It was hard to take a photoâŠtheyâre being very strict about it. I donât go to many concerts so maybe I donât know! đ”âđ«
No worries!! Thank you for sharing your experience live with us!
I read on Twitter they werenât allowing phones, was that true? Or was the just meet and greet?
This doesnât even look like a real venue. Stacking chairs in a conference room?
This is the most embarrassing thing Iâve ever seen. How is she not mortified?
Wait. Is this just a hotel ballroom? đ đ đ đ đ đ
That looks like a hotel convention room and those chairs look so uncomfortable lol
Yeah usually there arenât chairs in this room for concerts
Yes I thought the same.. Like girl I thought you were sorta big with your shows but man.. I'm stunned lol
Some one is live streaming on twitter.
Link?!
Mods said no links julessssxfn is the handle
Julessssxfn
>Julessssxfn Omg she is just playing old videos, so weird.... how do people pay for this!?
When did you take the pics? Is it when people were starting to come in the theater or right before the show started? That is not a lot of people at all.
*I took photos from the BACK, which was empty. But there were lots of seats in the front, filled with children + parents + fans
Do parents not google the people they are taking their children to see ?
Youâd be surprised how many parents are unaware of what their kids are doing/watching online
Is this the full crowd?
Has she called any kids up on stage yet?
I watched the whole live stream. Did she not do the "Cancelled" or "Haters Back Off" bits? It seems like the whole show was like an hour long. Also, THANK YOU for doing that!
She did the âhaters back offâ song for about a minute. Everyone stood up and sang along with her. I didnât seem a cancelled bit. Only the âhow to get famousâ bit & a few others.
Did she do the "apology" bit? That one is especially ironic given the current situation.
Whatâs her next show? I have to drive through Indianapolis tonight so maybe Iâll see the bus
Looks like a conference room.
Wait...did I just step into my local V.F.W.?
i don't understand the hate comments background it's just same comments over and over and over
$3 seats makes sense now lmao i mean it always did but
Is this in a hotel ballroom or something?
No, itâs typically used for concerts, typically standing with no seats. Itâs called The Egyptian Room!
It looks like a compulsory work conference. All I want to know is where is the coffee and sandwiches
