personally, i think that spending inordinate amount of time drawing yourself as a character in a visual novel where you wanna smash a dog lady vtuber or whatever and then posting it in a random thread on a dead gay comedy forum - all in service of a weird bit involving bodily fluids - is kinda lame, actually

No it wasn't, because she couldn't even site journey to the west. Then she doubled down using terrible word choices you would think a published author would know to avoid. She could've easily said sorry, but she decided to monetize her bullshit as a smokescreen and it seems to be working.

the thing she said was completely reasonable and the rest of your criticisms are 'she was rude'. loving get over it.

remember when earlier in the thread people were baffled by how kids just weren't able to cope with the fnaf guy being a shithead and were like 'i can't understand going to bat over and over for someone who is clearly not repentant in the slightest, and will ride or die forever for their internet stranger, kids are weird'

but hey, unfair cancel culture, am i right

No one thinks a media critic is their hero, they just think that criticizing a disney film is not equivalent to being a hardcore christian conservative freak.

You literally have people here saying it's only over 'disliking a disney film' and not a larger thing of 'being wholly dismissive of other cultures and poo poo is kinda bad?'

Like, if it isn't just defense squad rolling out in favor of their favorite internet person than what makes this in particular any different from any other other times this poo poo has come up and people have gotten way worse.

it's dumb that ellis went on a podcast complaining how she got harrassed about an opinion that got misconstrued to be about lumping asian stories together. and then got jumped on for unthinkingly using "squint" in a way that could be seen as hostile and racist. which then resulted in everyone pulling out a ton of "receipts" in a clear attempt to burn her public image down. and also her making an exhaustive explanation video that had way too much personal information and history than should ever be required for anyone to share publically.

how dumb that she'd be raw about this happening to her, twice. and how dumb that someone could empathize with her, while still holding her personally accountable for her unhealthy clap-back behavior, and not want her to specifically see their post and be their bestest friend ever.

You're very fuckin dumb if you think that was the point anyone in this thread was making. Please just be chill and actually read the posts.

Like I know you're gonna make up poo poo to be mad about but don't do it about the posts in this thread, just cause I don't wanna have to read you being weird.

I would perhaps be more sympathetic if "white person accused of racism has droves of other white folks roll in and talk about Cancel Culture and how clearly they were misconstrued and jeez won't you stop doing horrible hurtful things like posting on twitter about them" was not the default response to literally anybody saying or doing anything racist

Gwen

i think that's fair and as annoying as it is to put it exclusively in a 2 hours explanation video so does ellis for the record, at least on the "squint" part. that was one of the two? things she admitted were bad and apologized for. (the other being the "you're not bisexual" comment towards an ex-friend for the record)

this is a better and more succinct version of what I feel, which is why it all seemed so frustrating. it just felt like stuff i've seen before

Since people are clamouring for video essays, here's one that would be a bit of a niche for many people.

Looking at New Zealand's World Test Championship win in the context of the history of New Zealand cricket, and the countless hardships and heartbreaks they've had to endure until they finally reached the pinnacle of the 5-day format of the game (which was won on the 6th day), when they beat India in England.

A 5-day format? I'm convinced Cricket is an elaborate prank set up by the few countries who allegedly play it, and everybody has a good laugh when a foreigner tries to get into it.

The only silverware the Black Caps had prior to this was the ICC Champions Trophy in 2000, and considering how they were robbed in the 2019 Cricket World Cup final, it's also a brilliant tale of redemption, and honestly, does anyone actually give a gently caress about the ICC Champions Trophy - a competition that has been discontinued twice?

The Black Caps are historically utter poo poo at test cricket, and had been for quite some time, even if they're generally there or thereabouts in the ODI format (I'd argue they occupy a similar niche to the Netherlands in football, or France in rugby union - the best team to have never actually won the world cup of their sport), and have always had to do things the hard way, defeating a genuine cricketing powerhouse to etch their names into the history of the sport as the first world champions of the most prestigious format of the game.
