It’s an important topic but she is just using it as a stick to beat feminists and offers no solutions. The last thing that’s needed is people using the issue for their own political ends.
Men are disposable and I don’t think that’s ever going to change. The best think to do is aquire useful skills and use that to live a happy life.
I’ve never heard of her before. Her content seems odd to me. Like the kind of political YouTuber that doesn’t actually know what they’re talking about.
Before I probably invest way too much time into it, can someone give me a rundown of the kinds of views she espouses? Fairly balanced or leaning really far to one side?
I used to watch her. She claims left/moderate depending on the day but is about as “moderate” as Tim Poole
Like the kind of political YouTuber that doesn’t actually know what they’re talking about.
That’s pretty accurate. She claims to be left wing, and a fan of Bernie Sanders but she frequently repeats alt-right talking points and conspiracy theories. She does a lot of that thing that a lot of right-wing online personalities do in paying lip service towards being a centrist “I MaKe FuN oF bOtH sIdEs”, but really ending up making the right look far more reasonable than the left the majority of the time. She’s also good friends with the conservative pick-me YouTuber Blaire White.
She became popular around the time of gamergate largely (imo) because she says a lot of the things those types like — makes a lot of videos ridiculing feminists etc — and is a somewhat conventionally attractive woman. So gamersTM can convince themselves they don’t hate all women and all women don’t hate them because here’s one who agrees with them and “she [supposedly] isn’t even right wing”.
or you can watch the video and make your own mind up on it.
That video was decent, but not a well-researched take. I didn’t want to invest time into her channel if it was a waste of time. The consensus seems to be what I expected.
Are you really asking for a balanced analysis of her views on lemmy? Lol. You might as well ask on Reddit. Nobody is ever left leaning enough for people on either site, so you’re going to see a lot of people calling her alt right, MAGA, whatever.
Fairly balanced. She makes fun of both extremes and seems to have opinions from both sides, as well as covering topics from them. While she does cover far-left more than far-right, there does not seem to have a problematic bias towards one side.
Of course a lot of leftists call her far-right, but that seems to be painfully common with all centre-leaning political youtubers. Turns out if you are far-left, anything from centre to right will seem far-right to you.
Anyway, if you are interested in her, she is not as serious with most of her content, so you’ll probably stay for the humor, or balanced takes. As most political youtubers of her type, she is perfect to watch in terms of things both sides have completely different opinions on.
