Gen Z Has To Reckon With Its Radicalization Problem. You Are Not A Morally Pure And Superior Generation

Some of my favourite recent protest signs

I saw the "AD BLOCK IS NOT ALLOWED ON YOUTUBE" popup on YouTube only for it to immediately disappear within a half second. I felt like a lady being shielded by the great knight sir Firefox from a terrible bowmans arrow.

jesse don't touch that that's the growth potion i've been synthesi-no jesse DON'T

I get that being frozen for 100 years is a tough thing to go through but honestly Aang should have used it for comedy more

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

One side of my brain be like:

“Ugh the world and humans fucking suck! Corporations and bad people are taking over everything I just wanna put my head in the sand for a million years!”

The other side be like:

“Oml KITTIES precious fur babies! Jhhgytfhjgjhgkjhkj, look at these silly head empty little guys go 😍”

pro-abortion. pro-divorce. i believe we have the god-given right to give up

I had a nightmare last night that the muskrat guest starred in Futurama for a couple of episodes as some random character and it was horrifying, I still remember the dread and depression I felt:(

You can't seriously be so dense that you can't see why trans people are not comfortable with Joon's thumbnail.

Idgaf what Lily did, idgaf that Joon was "respectful" in the video(not really, if he was truly respectful he would've censored her deadname, we are not asking for much here).

There is such thing as being covertly or accidentally transphobic, Joon being a cis man should be open to criticism and just change this shit.

Stop being dismissive of trans people just because Joon is on "our" side, it's embarrassing.

No, I get why people would be uncomfortable with the images. I still think it’s important to have the facts straight, that the photos used were photos Lily herself posted after coming out. There is a fundamental difference between posting images of a masking trans person (which is what people are assuming), and posting images of one who is out and transitioning.

I’ll also admit, the visuals where instances of Lily’s deadname was on screen did make me uncomfortable. The name is dead for a reason, and even Lily is owed that respect. But then I remembered the time where someone had had the decency to cut out Lily’s deadname, and Lily pounced on the opportunity to claim the screenshots used were faked specifically because said name was removed. It’s evidence, and Lily’s already shown that good faith doctoring is something she’ll exploit, so it’s getting left as it. I don’t like it, but I get it.

But let’s be real here. It doesn’t matter what I say. You’ve already made up your mind. It’s always always always going to be something. It doesn’t matter how much evidence is presented to you, you’re going to ignore it and tear into whatever hapless messenger brought it up to you instead. You already admitted it. You don’t give a fuck what Lily did. You don’t care that she’s tormented people for years, that she’s sexually harassed people, created multiple false identities to push people to do what she wants, that she’s completely sanitized her past actions and lies constantly about anything worthy of criticism she’s done. A youtuber was insensitive when presenting all this, so it gets thrown out the window, and Lily gets to go on another day where she has a platform and access to new people she can abuse.

Well here’s the thing. Lily is going to fuck up one day. Even if Joon’s video isn’t the final nail, Lily has a pattern of behavior. She’s going to keep doing what she does, and inevitably, she’s going to get caught. One day, she’ll damn herself enough that nobody will be able to defend her any more. Until then. ✌️
