She didn't make groveling apologies to shrieking online people, and basically said "my channel has never been and will never be the SJW golden calf you all seem to expect it to be, I'm trying to convert normies and edgelords, not start a Seven Universe webring" in so many words

She had Buck Angel do a voice on a recent video. Buck hates non-binaries, is cool with TERFs and outed Lana Wachowski. People are really mad because she has a history of not treating non-binary people well when discussing gender theory, which she does a lot. This was basically the straw that broke the camel's back.

The big deal at the moment is that Natalie did a long answer that doubled down on her ignoring the worst parts. She's still acting like people are only mad at Buck for a few tweets and is outright saying that she sees herself as more of a channel for cool centrists and alt-lite and she never really wanted leftist fans anyway.

Lindsay is presumably in focus because she defended Natalie and spun up the theory that people calling Natalie out were really Gamergate 2.0 and just as bad as the chuds sending death threats. She got a fun positive boost from being part of Ricky Gervais' meltdown. Then she made a dumb joke (did a few twists on "I identify as Ricky Gervais) that were not well received, especially given the shadow hanging over her from Natalie. That's the quick and dirty version.

Natalie's whole thing is talking politics, so if it looks like her politics are going towards being a sucky liberal (at least as far as gender stuff, which has been her main topic for awhile) than there's not much point in boosting her :shrug:.

It is basically the Mueller moment for "LeftTube" though. Some people are realizing that it was a bad idea to build up a little circle and hang all their hopes on them. I guess in fairness, at least some of the people who are most angry don't have a lot of ways to do outreach other than investing online. Not healthy, but, what can you do.

She's actually sworn off doing this anymore and has refocused her channel around trans-exlusive topics and why it's okay with be a rich centrist lib. I think the twitter backlash against her has been excessive, especially against other people in her orbit, but you're really projecting something onto her that just isn't there anymore, she runs trans-issues youtube channel that's dismissive of a large percentage of trans community. Great stuff.

Funny enough, part of Natalie's defense is that she is an "old school transsexual" (which is a huge dogwhistle to declare yourself as basically a boomer, for a lot of trans people, apparently) and she keeps saying that she considers herself to be to the right of most zoomers and younger millennials on gender issues and that that's why there's so much friction. So, it's more an issue of whether people should listen to her on gender politics issues when she doesn't consider herself very progressive on them anymore. It'd be like saying how many people do you really think are to the left of Pod Save America, I guess? It does come down to how small the pool on YouTube is though.

I'd still recommend her videos on Peterson and Incels, for example. Really, if anything she should have taken her own advice and moved strictly moved back to general politics and philosophy.

It progresses from the obvious truth (Epstein was murdered to stop him squealing) to the boys telling themselves spooky stories about non-existent people and faked assassinations almost immediately. It's boring, self-indulgent crap.

I just find it funny that they laughed at the QAnon people for being so into their own stupid conspiracy poo poo but not acting upon it because it turns out they don't really believe in a Satanic pedophile cult but got on the QAnon train because they were bored in their comfortable suburban lives, and then to do the same thing but in a leftist way. Like lmao, at least one of the QAnon guys killed a mob boss because he thought that dude was a deep state pedophile asset, nobody who listens to podcasts is ever going to act on their version of this poo poo no matter how grotesque the Epstein poo poo gets.

While I feel like the majority of QAnon people are just bored comfortable people into conspiracy poo poo because it makes themselves more interesting, I feel like that's a weird take considering about a few months after the Pizzagate poo poo started, someone loving raided Comet Ping Pong with a gun to check for the pedophile tunnels underneath and another person tried to burn the place down after that.

In general, I just find the Epstein poo poo pointless. Great, we've established the obvious that rich people had him bumped off so he couldn't snitch. Now, what is to be done with the other connections, these people who may have been the people who had him killed or aided him in his pedophile ring? Are we submitting these people connected to the Epstein ring to, I dunno, Bernie or some other leftist authority to deal with when he wins? Are we going to be doing a citizen's arrest or some wacky poo poo on Kevin Spacey? No, apparently the goal is talking endlessly about and speculating about how deep this goes, yet again falling into the trap of endlessly painting a picture of the depravity of the rich, becoming depressed by this portrait, and then doing absolutely nothing about it.

The Epstein stuff is fascinating because nobody ever questioned how this guy got all this money when his story made no sense (there weren't many billionaires when he started his hedge fund to start with). The vast majority of conspiracy theories - even widely believed ones - are utter horseshit and people just trying to made sense of chaos by putting it in some ordered system but nothing about Epstein's life makes sense except as a pimp for rich pedos.
