It's honestly weird to me that Queen gets held up as a totemic representation of Real Serious Rock and Roll against Evil Degenerate Hip-Hop when they're the band that made one of the first booty jams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMnjF1O4eH0

I don't really have a stock in the music argument though, since I don't really just put on the radio or open up spotify or whatever people actually use now. I just know my tastes are garbage and if you say that you enjoy the same thing then I just don't feel the need to reiterate that every eight minutes.

Having only listened to two of their songs, I don't think Nickleback is as awful as people say, for example.

Yep

All these thinkpieces and video takedowns are like putting on a suit of armor to do battle with a patch of dogshit.

Yeah but it's fun to watch some fully armored people tilting at the dogshit, much in the same way it's fun to watch compilations of people attempting a stunt and then falling over.

ETA: In this analogy, CinemaSins are the people falling over, and the people doing the takedowns are the compilation.

"The normies just want to listen to lady Googoo and Kanye East or what ever they're called instead of listening to superior musicians such as Queen and Led Zeppelin."

People like to have fun and for a lot of people having fun means not having to think about things too much.
I always love when people use Kanye as an example there, if you look into the total work he puts into his songs (both the rapping, vocals and production) it's insane.

Ps. I really like your art. Especially your bird stuff. And I totally have a friend I'm going to buy your book for.

Thank you so much! I don't know for sure what I'm going to be doing RE the show, but the fact that I've only managed to make one video this year seems to be an indication of..something. I hope they like the book!

This video is noticeably light on comedy. I absolutely hate how some people psychoanalyze Internet personalities but as she is actually going through transitioning and stuff, I do have to wonder if this mock debate is something she goes through over and over in her head. I'm not trans but I do that sort of thing all the time.

It was informative as always but it did make me a bit uncomfortable because this poo poo happens in real life far too often.

Lol this idea that cinema sins constitutes any kind of actual threat to criticism continues to be hilarious.

Maybe they are a serious competitor for your average internet critic, I guess, since both are shallow, make no demands on the intellect or attention span, and chiefly set out to be entertaining. Internet critics try to be proper critics sometimes, which limits their appeal to bored Internet users who are just looking for a laugh, so maybe that's why they're so threatened by the idea of someone putting in even less effort than they do.

This one is about a director calling it crap so I dunno where you're getting it being from jealous critics.

I really hope she is okay, to us as her audience her going from "internet guy that likes to crossdress" to genderqueer to transfemale has been fast, but it has no doubt been in her head for ages. It's very lovely to doubt her conviction and she doesn't seem like the person to make these decisions too fast but I do hope she is okay mentally, insofar that is possible in these rough times coming to terms with herself.
