This is just going to be more thinking out loud for me, so feel free to yell at me if I’m getting anything wrong here. But I think that it is at least somewhat important to point out how terrible Lily’s media criticism/literacy skills and takes are for two main reasons.
One reason is that this is the main way she draws in extremely vulnerable people into her audience and grows support, financial/otherwise. Which allows her to continue abusing, grooming, and being a predator towards an ever increasing fucking number of people, while also having many toxic stans that will enable/increase her ability to do so.
Another main reason that I’ve believed this is because LO ties SO. FUCKING. MUCH. Of her abusive behaviors/beliefs into her media criticism. Whether it’s absuing Cypher for not dogmatically agreeing with her own crappy Sylvanas headcannons, hurling xenophobic abuse at people for enjoying Japanese culture and anime, or slandering queer artists that she hates as being pedos, sex pests, or somehow creepy/fetishistic in the children’s cartoons that they create.
There’s just so much of Lily’s absuive behaviors, actions, and ideas that she puts into her media rants themselves, that I think they’re very worthwhile in really dissecting and picking apart. DEFINITELY not as much as her abusive and predatory actions/behaviors outside of her videos are obviously, but still pretty important nonetheless. At least to me at this moment.
You've hit the nail on the head, which is why some people still talk about her media takes. She's one of those people who actually does wrap up her real-world beliefs and manipulative tendencies into the fiction she creates and consumes, along with projecting her fetishes into it and claiming the work itself was fetishistic.
Her channel is pure bait.
So, my iPod does this fucking genius factory thing where it forgets which artwork goes with which album and it makes guesses. Because it’s pretty sure I won’t notice.
Needless to say, I noticed.
I'm noticing that [adult swim] is getting more female-oriented nowadays. yolo, birdgirl, them rescuing tuca and bertie, unicorn warriors eternal having a female lead and romantic subplot, my adventures with superman pretty much being a shojo, sailor moon airing on the toonami rewind block, invincible fight girl, women wearing shoulder pads.
considering that Mike Lazzo infamously said that women aren't funny and refused to hire them, I see this an absolute win. he must be sooooo angry right now lol

Can't believe Better Man (2024) is just a biopic about an alternate universe where Monkey Fist became a popular musician
people are too comfortable bullying people online and then acting cool about it have you noticed that. i dislike it 👎 thumbs down 👎
I fucking hate the internet, I really do!
God forbid you like a piece of media that was popular and got good ratings and had positive reviews back in the day while annoying pretentious terminology online assholes make you feel bad for liking it, instead of being civil and just saying it’s not for them and leave it at that. Seriously I wish I knew how to touch grass, find caring friends and not let negative shit effect my mental health
No matter who she pays or who pays her JK Rowling will be remembered by us as a rat shit terf who has nothing to offer the planet except hate and crap racist writing.
