yea. iunno, i stand by 'people can change' and poo poo but she does need to be more careful what she says/how she presents herself. im not begrudging people for disliking her or having distaste for her just i think that's entirely separate from 'secretly still a nazi' if that makes any sense.

Yeah, because it's not a secret. She's openly a former nazi-adjacent grifter and no-one is obliged to 'forgive' her youtube brand for that fact or praise her for having the good grace to no longer be actively promoting white supremacy.

ON top of that the only thing that has happened since her great change was that she got a new twitter avatar. People can change but Shoe's defense is "hey I'm a known grifter but now I'm pretending to be on your side." It's the exact same poo poo as all these former Trump officials suddenly pretending to care about the COVID death toll and refugee welfare except people are actually dumb enough to fall for it.

I think suspicions of "secretly still a nazi" are in play here because, well, she really kinda was that loving bad at her height, so while turning away from that is good for her, she'll always be under that cloud of suspicion from some people because, well, she was a proud and public agent of active malice longer than she has not been so far, and people are scared by experience with people like that. I mean I sure as poo poo wouldn't trust her.

i never said 'she never said anything racist' i just didnt find any clips of the gorilla thing specifically

also 'covering her tracks' is a weird claim to make here cause A) multiple people in this thread were saying she has to delete the vids actually and B) she isnt the one spreading the dumb harambe thing around and clogging up the search results when you try to find this stuff

if she had a height which she is no longer at why would she give it up

like just looking at her account she was getting more views back when she was doing that poo poo. now again you could argue 'maybe shes just stupid and bad at being a grifter' and fair but why has she not given it up at this point if it is a grift. like itd be easy to turn the corner back to it.

and like, whats the endgame here, exactly? make money? she was already doing that as a rightwinger. subtly plant fascist ideas into peoples heads? she was already doing that as a rightwinger. like, yes, again you could just say shes stupid but at that point i might as well say quintonreviews or whoever is a nazi.

im not saying you have to like, trust, respect, or thank her for anything, just 'probably not a nazi anymore' isnt that big an ask. like if it's not worth respecting her or thanking her for then its also not that big an accolade that you have to vet her for 100% certainty before you go 'yea sure shes probably not a nazi anymore.' thats my point. it cant be both 'she doesnt deserve respect for doing this its the bare minimum' AND 'also i will never believe that shes done this'

Canadian right-wingers seem pretty happy to latch onto their southern cousin's political movements so it's probably still just the Lincoln Project.

I looked up and apparently Shoe did apologise for that Leslie Jones comment, but not on her socials. She did it on an interview with Vaush, who brought it up. And it seems like she kinda framed it in a way where she was apologising for being "cringey" (which is annoying and seems to lighten it, plus do you have to be SO terminally online) and that she didn't know that calling her a gorilla could have...well, quite considerable racial connotations, which seems ridiculous really. I mean, is that really plausible? Is this some poo poo American education thing?

Something something "I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed"

The original clip just shows this ridiculous naivete she always seems to have as well. Like "aw what Milo said wasn't THAT bad and aw he's just totally harmless and edgy and what not (plus...well, y'know, he's right isn't he lol)". Kinda like how she made a whole video saying that Trump wasn't going to do anything to LGBT people (unsurprisingly that video's not up anymore, seeing as it aged like cheese left out in the sun. Tbf, I think she did acknowledge that one).

depending on where you grew up, absolutely. that isnt excusing her or anything because like, she was an alt-right type even being as charitable as possible she was parroting language avowed racists were using. but entirely separate from shoe, yeah, american race eduaction is dogshit.

Eh i think there’s room for argument that how Canada is influenced partially by our own lovely education system.

America after is all a very influential country for better and worse. Though you can probably point to the UK as well.

Ok that surname is apparently Latvian but other than all notable people and places with it are all American.
So any Latvians down here my b for the assumption even though the first name June was kinda part of it.

You can just say she sucks you don't need to 'prove' it with some weird contradictory theory just say 'yea I still don't like her'.

yeah it seems pretty simple to me. she deleted what she thought was "cringey" and left the old "anti-sjw" stuff she agrees with on some level. when i looked at them today it's clear she knows perfectly well they exist and continue collecting viewers who agree with the content because she responds to like one-month-old comments.
