You asked if she's disowned that part of her life, but seemingly don't actually care so why did you ask in the first place?

I think that someone who has continued "anti-sjw" tirades recently, such as mocking Sarkeesian and fat positivity movements, has not, in fact, changed that much!

It's kinda understandable really if people aren't ultra quick to just forgive Shoe or whatever, really - or anyone else who seems to have got more openly left wing in the past year or two. Regardless of how genuine she is it's not like that's going to just happen overnight considering some of the poo poo she threw about, even if she does dismiss a lot of it as being wrong or cringy or whatever.

Note that this is different from saying it should never happen but it might take a bit more than lefty takes on Twitter. Some other thoughts on feminism that don't just tar it all with the lib pop culture Buzzfeed brush also.

The supposed justification for it is that they needed to "become adults" in order to get over their childhood fears in order to defeat Pennywise which is dumb and makes no sense because Pennywise is still around when they're adults and they're still scared of him.
That's their idea. The children's idea. That becoming adults, in the way they conceptualise how you become one, will just automatically make them more powerful and confident and solve the problems they're facing as children. That it doesn't and they have to eventually return and face their childhood as adults is like, literally the point.

Yeah like sure she should probably take her old videos down but I really don't see why that's a smoking gun on her not being sincere.

Either way, her new content very much pro-left and has absolutely helped deradicalize at least some of her old audience, so I guess you could argue that how sincere she is doesn't really matter, since the results are the same.

If you still have videos promoting anti feminism and bigoted world views up and still available then yeah you are still actively promoting that gross poo poo by keeping them up. Taking them down is the bare loving minimum and the fact that she can't even do that speaks volumes

It’s not really deradicalizing people to point them in the direction of Bernie Sanders while still encouraging them to call Anita Sarkeesian the c-word or the r-word or whatever. If you’re still going to be a dumb selfish bully about everything, you’re no good to the left and you’re not going to be with it for very long before reverting to type.

I like the part early in the book where it makes it look like Beverlys husband is a main character and then things just go completely south.

Jontrons subs went up when he went full race science and broke away from all his old friends. Ian Miles Cheong went from random eurogamer listicle writer to being the gamer alt-right guy and got a ton more money for it.

Like im not saying you have to love her or anything like i said i think she says stupid poo poo sometimes too but cmon.

As much as I’m sympathetic to this line of argument this has an easy “This just proves she sucks at being a grifter rather than disproving she is one” Right-winged online people aren’t the brightest bulb in the shed.

But yeah people are a bit too dictomous on both sides of the discussion. There are other left winged people who are this poo poo to people so it wouldn’t really hurt to she show’s conversion as legit but completely incomplete to stop her from being the same of bigoted rear end in a top hat.

I would go far to say having “delete all the bad videos” as something required I’m uncomfortable with full stop. Like I get it of how the YouTube algorithm works means you can’t get something like that WB disclaimer I guess that’s fair but I much prefer the transparency and the irony of an metaphorical inverted Che shirt if someone has done everything else to be contrite .

Imo if your values change radically, which can certainly happen slowly and in stages, it should feel like something by the end. I’m not saying that she needs to demonstrate contrition by flagellating herself in a hair shirt on stream, but I’m not going to believe that she’s any different if her behavior doesn’t change because that’s the inevitable result of such a big change in belief. If she were a hollow person who cared more about attention and brand-building than understanding what she is or why, I’d expect her to keep cutting videos and reminding people to smash that like button.

like the reason im inclined to believe the turnaround is sincere because every leftist forum on the internet reacts to people turning stuff around like this, lol. the rightwing throws parades anytime a random youtuber vaguely brings up black crime statistics and the leftwing basically refuses to take people in good faith. and im not saying one is better than the other because both routes are stupid but if she wanted, attention and brand-building, then she could go back to the rightwing at anytime and theyd welcome her with open arms, unlike the constant interrogation that 'breadtube' generates. this does not preclude her from still being a moron in many other ways.

I don't know this person. None of us know this person. What's actually happening here is that the Nazi TV Network has rebranded as Leftist Entertainment News and you're trying to tell me that there's some point about left purity in wanting the Nazi TV Network to go away completely, actually, rather than welcoming the fact that the people who used to make "Black folk: angry, eh?" are now making "How to feel the Bern on poll day!"

The fact she’s still trash we should’nt approve of either way isn’t something one should undersell especially when there are people who actually welcoming her.

But I don’t think endorph is doing the latter even if “being stupid” underplays what’s actually going on here.

Funnily enough I just looked at Shoe's channel and a whole bunch of the vids that were there back from when I was getting into her stuff and others in 2017 aren't there anymore. Some of them are but a bunch are indeed gone. I also looked at her ex out of curiosity and he's completely out the game -- it seems like Armoured Skeptic privated most every political vid he ever made and just makes videos about aliens now.

Whether to delete old vids or not for whatever reason has a few arguments to be made. You could say that if you delete them they'd probably still end up accessible somewhere else. Someone would reupload them. Still, even if you do want to show where you came from and keep them though you don't agree with them, it's still coming off to people as something you agree with and no matter where she lands on the compass, a lot of those videos were pretty much entirely loved by right-wing folks and pushed people more towards that direction than the left. Kind of like that's a feature built into the whole *REACTING TO CRINGY POLITICAL TAKES* genre.

I don’t think anyone here is actually making a equivalence of scale but more of a equivalence of branding. Even if it doesn’t apply in this case it’s not impossible for a YouTube to be that souless.

Perhaps you should address the possibility that right wing grifters are dumb and stubborn enough to make a poorly done pivot and still commit to it past any reasonable point of fail.

Ehhh, that's true in insular places like internet forums, but there's plenty of people itching for that Lefty "gently caress the power!" energy but not actually interested in doing any work on themselves. It's the audience that the Peter Coffins and Jimmy Dores of the world play to. So it's entirely possible that shoe tested the winds and decided that there might be better long-term prospects in rebranding as one of those rather than trying to compete with "Actual Congresswomen who say Q poo poo".

It is however equally possible that the right started crossing lines she won't and so she decided to move on to the next thing she thinks she can pull off.

And it's of course possible this is sincere and she's just not especially good at understanding the standards of accountability that lefties expect.

So while I think it's fair to consider the possibility she's sincere, it's not that outlandish to consider this as her just pivoting as a grifter for whatever reason.

1.5 million subscribers is not the same thing as 1.5 million viewers, her videos get like 500k-800k views minus the ones that pop off. plus a major tv network has way more cultural impact than a youtube channel even for the youtube channels that do get comparable viewership to cnn or whatever, just cause of the established press media and the avenues it reaches.
