I could keep going all day but the point is: if you want to make good representation than just write people as complex human beings with lived experiences and feelings lmao. Also maybe use a sensitivity consultant if your really worried about it

โ€œI want more black women in media but she can never be upset at anything, also she has to be the smartest most correct person in the room but she canโ€™t be that way all the time because we donโ€™t want her to be tokenized, oh also she also canโ€™t be sexual in any way because I hate womenโ€™s sexualityโ€

โ€œI want more trans women in fiction but she canโ€™t be masculine in any way, or be feminine before her transition because thatโ€™s erasure of feminine men, but also she canโ€™t be sexual in any way, also her partner must be bisexual because mono sexuals cant love trans womenโ€ -the average tumblr user

I think the way people talk about perfect representation is so funny cuz theyโ€™ll just slowly walk back around to having the conservative opinion again if you let them go off for long enough

My 25th birthday is coming up and I feel the crotchety old lady in me forming like a primordial demon whispering in my ear making me want to yell at clouds

Never trust a bitch with an account who only posts bitching. Like if youโ€™re so good at game design why arenโ€™t you a game designer? If you know so much about healthy food why arenโ€™t you a nutritionist? If you know so much about writing whereโ€™s your work? Itโ€™s amateur and itโ€™s embarrassing

I think the worst part of the modern internet is how through content we treat all opinions as being equal. I cannot tell you how many god awful takes Iโ€™ve seen from video essayists, diet bloggers, health channels and political accounts Iโ€™ve seen that get empowered only because they have a microphone

Also inverse of this is how a lot of techniques taught for screen acting actually make you a dog shit voice actor. Hence why so many celebrity voice actors from film and tv deliver such bizarre performances when put in a animated film

I remember back when I was a kid my ifunny feed was like exclusively anime girls kissing and I was so terrified my sister (bisexual tumblr teenager) was gonna find out and think I was fetishizing lesbians

This was my version of Catholic guilt

Sometimes I just sit around and think about the RWBY X Justice league movies because I think they may genuinely be the worst cross over of all time. Like I struggle to think of any other crossover so universally hated by both fanbases and with almost nothing to show for it lmao

I think we just have to accept that the "long ass background noise yapfest" style of video may no longer be favorable to long term growth on youtube. so what's gonna work now? who knows!

the video is underperforming and sabotaging it in the algorithm by not showing it in recommended feeds. honestly I'm kinda shocked it took me this long to figure out why my last two videos mega underperformed but alas. so what am I gonna do about this? I dunno honestly... 3/4๐Ÿงต

long form content in the background while being tabbed out... hopefully you see how this connects to me. looking at the analytics on my last two videos I can clearly see that almost all the viewers on my channel who watch on desktop are not being counted and then because of that youtube thinks- 2/4๐Ÿงต

Mini thread discussion time cuz I think it's interesting: recently the YouTube algorithm has changed in such a way that has now made it that views from a desktop with an ad block and aren't engaging are no longer counted. this has inversely impacted channels with tech savvy viewers that put on- 1/4๐Ÿงต

Having to fight and form arguements to defend my opinion/the obvious truth. I think I can get my points across much better if I can make people feel my feelings rather than listen to arguments. So what is my content gonna look like now? Who knows! 2026 is the year of experimentation!

So what do I wanna make? I wanna start making work that focuses on being interesting and having multiple interpretations rather than work that attempts to interpret material for others. I think making my visual novel has really shown me how much I love creative work that isnโ€™t me- 4/5๐Ÿงต

Video essay as a term has become a kind of buzz word that isnโ€™t actually helpful in the creation of thoughtful content. All this has made me slowly come to realize that I want to start focusing on changing my content away from the video essay bubble Iโ€™ve put myself into 3/5๐Ÿงต

Against โ€œvideo essayโ€ as a genre. Often I find that social media rewards elements of media that are antithetical to thoughtful essay writing. This has lead to a lot of โ€œvideo essaysโ€ to be barely disguised plot summaries, drama videos, documentaries, discussions, etc etc. 2/5๐Ÿงต

Okay weird mini ramble thread about my channel:
So you probably havenโ€™t noticed this but Iโ€™ve been slowly phasing the words โ€œvideo essayโ€ from my channel the last couple of months. Why is that? Well I think itโ€™s largely come from me reconsidering what my channel is and slowly coming to chafe 1/5๐Ÿงต

I miss back when ads on porn sites where Marge from the Simpsons getting railed. Now I canโ€™t even pleasure myself without being inundated with ai slop, when will we return to the naturalistic human spirit of wanting to beat off to cartoons drawn by real people
