One of the things I like about SkyeBrows videos is catching all the appearances and Easter eggs. So far got Sargon, Monty Python, Waldo and the fact I know A LOT of Vtubers...
The key pattern I notice with the use of Amelia is the celebration of British history, as shown here in the last 15 seconds of this video, and the rejection of any need to distance themselves from it, reject it or diminish it as well as telling the current establishment to fuck off. Having that in a goth girl package is proving very popular...
When the Streisand effect is mentioned, it shows Streisand's mansion that she tried to hide. That's where the Streisand effect comes from. That might be a bit obvious to call an Easter egg, though.
A lot of people, ironically, did not recognize Striesand's place in the Striesand Effect line.
iirc when she filed suit? There were 4-5 views: 1 from a quality checker, 2 from her lawyers & 1-2 from people checking what the heck she was talking about. Then came millions!! 😲 The guy who took it viral was #4 or 5, again iirc.
I don't like vtubers, furry stuff, etc. but I love and appreciate how Amelia has been pushed by the upstart grassroots "right wing." The lyrics in this are pretty banger.
Unlike some other comments here, I think drawing connections between the Amelia phenomenon to basement dweller / weeb pop culture weakens the symbol a bit. She might earn more power in the mainstream if she's relatable to normies.
Normies aren't sentient. They'll like what they're told to like. It's up to the fringes to drag the status quo in one direction or another, and the normies will follow along and act like it's always been of their own "free" will.
Even if you believe that (I'm partway there), I think a message is more palatable and more persuasive if it's less alien.
It's not about the normies, it's about the young people. Normies, by definition, will not lift a finger to change the pedo-elite status quo. Kids, almost by definition, will.
Nice enough.
How many tributes are there.
We got Sargon of Arkad, Count Dakula's pug and JD Vance meme at the end, what else?
Excusing the Vtubers, Paul Joseph Watson, Tommy Robinson, Farage then there's all the historical references at the end like Churchill, Alan Turing and Shakespeare.
Newton and LOTR was in there but I took those just as things to be proud of as English.
Didn't recognize Paul Joseph Watson and I don't know Vtubers, what Vtubers are in there?
Oh fuck.....
From the ones I recognise, Nux Taku as both drummer in the 'shadow band' and in the theatre. Leaflet and Rana taking a selfie, Kirsche, Smug Alana and Misuke on the wanted poster. Neuro and Vedal sipping tea then in the theatre TOO many I don't know as I do now Ember Paradox in the front.
To get the names of the theater vtubers, just look up "Skyebrows Reaction". Pretty much every vtuber who has reacted to a Skyebrows video gets included in his next video as he makes them, so it's a rogue's gallery of react-tubers.
For the generic ones, he has his callbacks like LCSigns and the expensive overclocked Ram and the Starmtroopers and the Zuckerborg, but for the more British ones:
Gammon-zilla was a left-winger alarmist warning that Gammon-man (fat stupid white people) was right-wing and going to harm their perfect dystopia, and accompanied by a political cartoon picture of the fat ham-man rampaging through the street.
Neuros and Vedals (the girls with the turtles) fit his normal "toss some vtubers in here for fun" theme, but they ARE British, so they get more featured than most of them.
Dankula/Meechan himself was in it briefly, not just his dog.
Did see Dankula but I'm completly out of the Vtuber scene. Not sure what people get out of those except if ItsAGundam is considered a Vtuber (I assume not).
Vtuber is just normal-youtuber, but with a vaneer of anonymity which lets them be a bit less socially acceptable if they so desire. Gundam has a vtuber model, but he's mostly been a png-tuber. Same idea, though, an avatar to take the brunt of things, and to focus on the idea over the presenter.
Clowning is the ultimate act of rebellion.
When done well, the most effective of the rules for radicals.
Mockery is one of the few things the left fears. To have someone shout about the Emperor's clothes, or to pull back the curtain & show the Great Wizard Of Oz = terrifies them. Their entire being is based on their lies. They know this but keep lying regardless.
The ultimate "own goal" indeed! 😸
