I've said this before and I'll say it again:
Her historical videos are informative, engaging and well-produced, and I usually don't regret the time spent watching them.
Her analytical videos make me wanna eat the business end of a 12 gauge.

The End of Proving Grounds: (Thread) (Update) (Last Call in PG)
I've enabled GIF avatars across the site again. Don't make me regret this.

I know nothing of GoT. These are just my take aways from her tweets:
"I don't know how to explain to you that the trope of a man killing the woman he loves while in intimate embrace, framing him as the REAL victim here, it's uh... bad. It is toxic and it's bad."
Well, I DO know how to explain to you why it isn't toxic or bad. For one, "toxic" is a stupid word, so stop using it. Two, it's meant to create emotional weight. Disengage your post-modernist oppressed/oppressor lens for a second and this silly idea that murderers see themselves as heroes because of movies. The narrative is that this is a person the man loved, and out of the choices given to him, killing the person he love is the best choice. Take the man/woman romance of the equation. Other examples off the top of my head; George killing Lenny before the mob gets him in Of Mice And Men; Will Smith having to choke his dog to death in I Am Legend; Pet Sematary the dad has to rekill his son after he came back wrong.
Women going "Dark Phoenix" and men having to use their fist knives to kill them plays out in real life a LOT!
30,000 women are killed by a partner in 2017 "across the world"... out of 7.4 billion people. That seems remarkably low. And even if that poorly worded source meant to mean in America, still remarkably low.
"Dany frames herself as a liberator and can not see she's a tyrant. The show frames Jon the way domestic abusers frame themselves."
It's a good thing Eva Braun was smart enough not to succumb to this trope. Domestic abuse is always wrong, even if your partner is a tyrant.
"like yes, that is certainly how the show frames it"
Like yes, yes it is. That is definitely certainly how the show frames it. The framing of the choice was that he had none. Violence of a woman's body was the only choice the situation framed. The situation created was sad, but framed as justified, justifiably.
Aileen Wuornos did nothing wrong!
I watched the whole GoT. The typical feminist criticism overlooks that the character they're stanning for had been foreshadowed since episode 1 as being a wild card (to keep it vague). They continue to hammer this point throughout the entire series, but without actually saying it (except for the multiple times they say it). The ending isn't a twist, it's actually the most obvious ending.
So much for being a trope master, it was something I definitely took note of and I barely watch TV shows. Yes the season was rushed, and was overall executed poorly, but that doesn't change that this character was always like that. You were just too busy shouting "YAAAAS QUEEEEEN".

I don't even watch Game of Thrones and I feel that ending was garbage.
Are you unironically quoting Stalin's "a million deaths is a statistic"?
It could've been executed better or done with better acting. Emilia Clarke should have been allowed to ham it up.
Yeah the YouTube algorithm dropped that one and a few of her Disney critiques on my lap this morning while I was drinking my coffee and I honestly found them to be well done. She's terrible most of the time but Disney stuff seems to fine tune her autism to the point where it works. Probably because she has enough knowledge and confidence in the subject to not have to try and hide behind woke bullshit to mask her obvious shortcomings.
Then it gave me her Hobbit reviews and the entire third video was just whining about new Zealand outlawing union interference due to Warner brothers threatening to walk on production
What a reetarded rant
Is it just or does anyone else think she only put effort if she has Nostalgia for or she can't find a way to go sjw on the material?

A personal and autistic reply, my experience of all my movie and TV history essentially pushed that being Alive and living to regret your actions was ALOT worse than being the biggest piece of shit and being murdered.
I don't mean so much within Game of Thrones, just in general TV and Film tropes. Being the person who killed the rebel leader and was alive to talk about it was seemingly worse than being the shittiest leader around.

This some how popped up in my YT feed and I watched it, I legit couldn't tell it was her for first min or two, and if you showed me just this no way would I buy she's a cow.
Legit work, I always like to try to be fair, and this was quality. If not for the 2 bottles of wine a day and sucking up to troons she could have a pretty chill career and life.
Funniest part, aside that she would also be happier not having to tip toe to say the right thing. Cows are cows for a reason, shine on your crazy diamond.
Honestly, it is looking as if most of her "woke" takes only come out when she has nothing else to say and needs to put out something that her followers will eat up. Notably, she's a fan of Hilary Clinton, which she wouldn't be if she actually cared about half the causes that she claims to fight for.
Lindsay gave her take on someone saying film critics should have a degree to review film. The start of her first tweet immediately reminded me of the end of Roger Ebert's response to Rob Schneider's fight with another film critic but Lindsay takes herself far too seriously to have that kind of fun.
Also, Lindsay was excited to bash Jeffery Katzenberg in her recent Aladdin video and on Twitter. She even planned to make another video focusing on Katzenberg...
...until the anti-semites showed up and spoiled her party. Based on this, Lindsay has said she's probably dropping her idea of making another Katzenberg video and unintentionally set a precedent. Now, anyone who's an anti-semite or even anyone pretending to be an anti-semite (trolling) can use reverse psychology to dictate what videos she does and doesn't makes, I guess.

It's amazing how much power these people willingly hand over to "anti-semites". I can remember after 9/11 there were basically two camps: "Woo, save us Government! Patriot Act yes!" and "No, just carry on. We'll take the fight to them but if we change how we operate at home they've won." Lindsay is in the Patriot Act category re: anti-semitism.
(Also there was a third camp saying the US deserved it. Basically the beginning of cucks I guess, although at the time most people openly mocked them, whereas openly mocking modern cucks makes you a "bigot")
I HAVE 2 PRESTIGIOUS DEGREES FROM 'WORLD-CLASS' FILM SCHOOLS
yeah, but Siskel, Ebert, Barry Norman, they never got known for having hot dogs flung in their face in a suggestive manner, Lindsay dear

The same degrees that brought the world the rape rap.
I suspect she keeps things "normal" for Disney because she's under contract. Remember what happened when PBS was notified of her "White people White White White, fuck Whites" rant.

Lindsay, honey, you don't have the power to stop anti-semitic violence. You're not important or influential enough. They're going to shoot up those Synagogues whether or not you post your Katzenberg video.

She doesn't care either way, it's just virtue-signalling.

Lindsey actually puts effort and research to most of her shit, certainly more than anyone else from the dumpster fire that was TGWTG.
I mean I don't expect the NEET's who have sufficient time and interest to comb through years of tweets and activity to ever be truly satisfied, but that's why they're NEETs and can't grip the side-orbiting levels of irony in dedicating real time to bitching about lolcows.

Oh hey a new account made just to white knight m'lady the noble hot dog girl.
I get the feeling you'll do great here
