TGWTG Nostalgia Chick / Lindsay Ellis / TheDudette - aka Hotdogs in face girl

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

Ursula was mainly based off of a drag queen named Divine, who is known for being in various John Waters films, so there are definitely some roots in queer culture there, but Ariel being a trans metaphor absolutely makes no sense whatsoever. It's almost as if she's just pulling shit out of her ass!

Spoiler: IM GONNA SPEEEEÈRGGG!!!!!

Breadtube lacks so much passion, and it's so obvious. Her and her peers never sound like they are actually enjoying themselves. At the very least with TGWTG, as autistic and bullshit as that all was, you could at least sometimes see weird little people doing or talking about something that brought them joy. And as bad as the effects, and acting, and writing were, people were still drawn to it because it felt like you were in a spot on the internet where people liked the same autismo shit you liked, and it didn't have this godawful air of trying to be "groundbreaking" or "a insightful look into the human condition", a lot of times, it was just the Cinema Snob talking about E.T. porn, or the Nostalgia Critic shooting Casper the Friendly Ghost.

To Powerlevel a little bit, I remember, when I was younger, surfing through some Nostalgia Chick vids, when I came across her retrospective on the old Betty Boop. I had always had this view of Boop as some chintzy old relic, but seeing her talk about the shorts like Minnie the Moocher and Bimbos Initiation turned me onto a whole style and part of animation that I still love to this very day. And it was being told by someone who clearly liked and appreciated what she was talking about. That went a long way with convincing me to consider WHAT she was talking about, even when I was a stupid kid.

It's tiring to constantly see Millennial Irony. I wish people could actually like stuff just for the sake of liking stuff again, and not always feel like they have to intellectually justify it.

It's definitely an effect of college education. Critical Race Theory and Post Modernism in action.

6. Mentions that Ursula is a composite of camp icons, compares her to Joan Crawford and a bunch of other old hollywod movie stars and calls Joan Crawford Joan Collins for some reason.

I'm reminded of a user that frequents the articles and happenings section called @The Last Stand . I feel an eye twitch happening.

This is bad even for her standards dude

Spoiler: video summary

1. Guys, lets all forget that i used to do bad faith criticism of disney shit, girl boss feminism is bad and ariel didnt cause the wage gap
2. Disney indoctrinates children into CAPITALISM, not misogyny. admits during this section that she was also indoctrinated this way, blames that for why she spent the last month loafing around on disney plus
3. The entire video is presented very lazily, she is trying to do this apathetic wounded bird "i cant bother to try to make this decent because you guys cancelled me, but its ironic so you cant say its low effort trash" thing and its very off putting
4. The middle of the video is nothing any sane person didnt know, basically just "hey ariel isnt a bad feminist or whatever and the braindead "sold her voice for a man" take is incorrect. Problem is its padded out with an insane amount of filler, restating facts and playing whole clips of various memes to make it even longer
5. The end of it gets really retarded, She introduces the GAY PART with clips from rupauls drag race (looong clips, jfc) and starts talking about the queer theory reading of the little mermaid, where ariel getting her legs is a metaphor for trooning out and hans christiam anderson wanted it up the ass. Her analysis becomes way less coherent at this point and she basically says "how do you do, fellow millenials, did you know little mermaid is hella gay?" She also says that all disney villains are queer coded and gives clips as examples and one of them is literally just smoking? which makes him gay i guess?
6. Mentions that Ursula is a composite of camp icons, compares her to Joan Crawford and a bunch of other old hollywod movie stars and calls Joan Crawford Joan Collins for some reason.
7. Last five minutes is just shilling for her book

honestly this one was kid of a mess, even by her standards. Lindsay seems downright pathetic here, and she is clearly trying to pad the runtime out so it still feels like a video essay.

Someone here mentioned that this was uploaded thanks to the live action remake coming out soon. Maybe she's trying to get a head start on the algorithm.

One thing I couldn’t get past in her video is when she was talking about the original little mermaid. The prince isn’t interested in Arial simply because he isn’t attracted to her, then says that’s clearly a parallel to how gay men feel? Completely forgetting that sometimes, you can just not be attracted to someone. I got some serious nice girl vibes from that covered up as ‘it’s the gay actually’.

Lindsay's part of a crowd that has a tendency to see things through a certain lens. They can never be as they are.

 

[Buer]

She mentioned early last year she's been thinking about it, mostly so she could whine about her doctor telling her that if you're over 35, the medical term is a geriatric pregnancy and she took offence to that.

She might do it as a way to get more money via a gofundme or something.

Oh god she'd make a horrible mother. Honestly out of all the internet famous women on here Lindsay is the one of the last ones I can see as an actual caring mother. Her kid will either end up not being raised by her but her parents, having fetal alcohol syndrome or a genderspecial because of the crap she shoves down their throat. Or all three.

 

[NeoGAF Lurker]

Lindsay is the type to wait until she is 42, have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on fertility treatments to actually get and keep her pregnancy, have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a difficult childbirth, for an autism goblin who is encouraged to troon out (made easier due to the aforementioned autism). Lindsay would be an even worse mother than she would be as a media critic and that is a very low bar.

Who is wonderful and hilarious and would have been cancelled a fucking long time ago because she was actually counter culture.

Surprised John Water's has made it this far but most people under 22 don't know who he is.

John Waters hasn't been in public for well over twenty years.

I'm sure he was on an episode of My Name Is Earl a bit earlier than that.

 

[The Demon Pimp of Razgriz]

I'm sure he was on an episode of My Name Is Earl a bit earlier than that.

He also had a cameo appearance in the Hairspray remake (as a flasher of all things).

If someone realizes the error of their ways & wants to move on then what's the problem? Would it be preferred if she doubled down instead?

As an aside, I do like the new video & how it addresses faux feminist grievances with Disney princesses.

As she criticizes leftism, she will drift steadily toward the right & land dead center & become the Sith/Jedi hybrid of legend.

I'm also digging the new Goth look.

I remember this because of the Brad Review but he had a cameo in one of the Chipmunks films and Alvin makes a crack about having saw Pink Flamingos.

I don't think she's having children, ever. If so, I don't see a problem.

It is possible for people to change. It's unlikely as the older they get but it is possible. I'm sure her excursion with being "cancelled" made her reevaluate a lot of the bullshit she used to propagate.

 

[AnOminous]

I'm sure he was on an episode of My Name Is Earl a bit earlier than that.

He was in a Lonely Island video making fun of him for looking like a creep a few years back. It was actually pretty funny and he was a good sport about it.

 

[AfghanBlue]

shocked at how hideous her husband is.
like i'd have thought you could get a better clout chasing partner by virtue of to be fair, having a pretty successful youtube channel. wtf? archetypal incel aesthetic.

Also - just reading back on these pages- the drunk arrest.
someone was writing about 'how drunk you have to be to be arrrested as a woman for drunk and disorderly etc etc'
well, I was ( in fairness cops up here used to love harrassing young people for doing things like, having fires on the beach, they would come, stamp out fires, harrass people and get you annoyed in order to get a quick easy arrest for the quotas, at that time- )

so yeah, when i was like 17 -18, i had a few drunk cautions here and there - never actually did a night in the cells for it, as all they wanted was fine money and you had to continue to be pretty awful once you'd been arrested and removed and they'd got your particulars, for them to waste cell space on a weekend night for you.

Anyway, my point is, being as I've been vaguely aware of DUI? shit about Lindsey for ages, I thought this shit was years, like decades back.
Apparently its kinda recent? like 2017? Man that's fucking bad. Like, baaaad.
We are grown up women lmao, not snot nosed punks any more.

I felt kinda sorry for her being cancelled for bullshit all, as I do for anyone, but then I'm blissfully unawares as to anything she's done that might kind of make it pleasingly karmic. The only type of people I saw saying it was were like, psychos calling her a lifelong nazi etc lmao.

But yeah, that drunk arrest is ...oof. Nono no.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Well yeah, he's an adjusted adult. If someone made a music video making fun of Lindsay's drunk arrest, she'd get mad as fuck.

 

[Astrapi]

Contrary to most people here it seems, i thought the Mermaid video was pretty entertaining, i even laughed a bit, and she seems a bit better. She looks better, her makeup isn't a mess like it usually is, the foundation seems to match for a change. Did she use a beauty filter? I wouldn't be surprised, her face seems blurred. Of course i would stop with the dark berry lips if i was, like her, a moonface with skin as white as paper, but visually she looks more put-together. (Lindsey, you insist on emphasing your lips, even if you are getting slightly better at applying lipstick, i assure you it does nothing for you. Use a lighter touch on the lips and emphasize your eyes! A grey smoky eye would make youl look 1000 time better than purple lips. Try it! Just because the advice comes from Kiwifarm doesn't mean it isn't good!)

Also, i like that she side-steps the wokescold take by defending the queer-quoded vilains, instead of accusing Disney of teaching homophobia to kids. It's true, faggoty vilains are cool and entertaining, and those movies need more of them. Kids are more likely to learn homophobia from their parents than from Disney, and the most violent kind of homophobia from some parents than are anti-Disney, actually.

I think the trans interpretation is a bit far fetched, and of course, she should stop plugging Mermaids, given that even a lot of transactivists seem to agree that this org is pRObleMatIc.

My big critic would be that the conclusion isn't great, the video just kinda ends after some platitudes about clickbait that she already said earlier, and then she segue into her book that i won't buy. And the way she plugs the same clips, like from Pocahontas and Hunchback, each time she mentions those movie is really ineffective. They are stuck in the middle of her sentences in a way that just ruins the rythm. Stop trying to make memes out "i am losing to a bird", it's really not funny enough to deserve it, Lindsay.
