Listened to some of his 'conference vids' with other 'Fandom Menace' Breadtubers and noticed that he kept cringing when some of the other guys (e.g. Disparu) kept making expletive-filled remarks.
Either he was doing that because the algorithm trained him to be an obedient little monkey and he was internally groaning about the automatic demonetization of the video, or he was being apprehensive that it would ruin his chances to bag other has-been celebrities and Hollywoke insiders for his long-form interviews.
What are your thoughts?
To be fair, people like Eric July and The Critical Drinker are inspiring others to create their own media and that's a great cause for change.
If people spend their pennies on something original and decent then that will shift into the bean counters prodding the industry to follow suit.
Ideals are great and inevitable for change, making them palatable is the craft that many have forgotten about just now. Being part of "X" minority isn't enough by itself and is insulting to people who share those characteristics but are talented.
Point Break is an awesome movie and not because it was directed by a woman. The first Matrix movie is sound regardless of the two folk creating it's understanding of their gender or sexuality. Unforgiven is stupendous despite it being led by Clint Eastwood.
If the left are comfortable with regarding the art and not the artist with people like Roman Polanski they should be open to people who do less harm legally and inspire conversation irregardless of their output.
This censoring left is so close to Nazism and can't see it - and that's dangerous for us all.
The other thing that is important is that not everyone needs to be foaming at the mouth screaming about wokeness at every given turn. Yes, your Ryan Kinel's can, but they will turn off the average normie who is only starting to realize there is a constant "Message" in everything they watch.
So you show them Critical Drinker or Film Threat, who is very approachable and talks about movies they do like instead of just constantly harping on the ones they hate. Then as that starts to click and they realize there is a coordinated campaign in Hollywood, maybe they move up to the likes of Nerdrotic, Az, and Disparu (who are a bit more aggressive in calling it out, but still in a fun way). And then maybe some of them will take the next step to Ryan, and go "This situation is so out of whack we need a political change just to fight it."
Sometimes I wonder if critical drinker is hiding his power level when he does (((the message)))
And that is political discourse.
Is this for real? Look - the right definitely has small issues with this as well (not anywhere near the same extent, but it does); however, the left is famous for their purity purges. There are tons of examples.
Look at even just JK Rowling. She was a flaming feminist/leftist, but she stepped out of line one time, spoke up about the importantance of "single-sex spaces" - i.e., she didn't want men pretending to be women in the women's restroom, and she was totally excommunicated. Seriously - she didn't want mtf guys in the restroom, that invalidated all her other leftist activism, and she was instantly the new
femaleuterus-haver (or whatever the stupid fucking term the left uses for normal women now) British Hitler.The left is absolutely insane when it comes to the whole, "You have to toe the line 100%, or you are a fascist/racist Hitler transphobe whatever" crap. Even Obama himself called them out on their circular firing squads.
I think it's more that 'both sides' vehemently attack and denounce to their right, while only offering mild and perfunctory condemnation of those to their left.
This still makes me laugh. J.K. Rowling should be an eye-opener to all.
But the biggest hypocrisy of the 21st century is mass immigration of Muslims to the West. Anti-religious atheists supporting the mass infiltration of a group that can only be characterized as ultra-reactionary conservative right-leaning.
