[Shoe0nHead] The Male Loneliness Epidemic

  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?

    She’s liberal, and doesn’t really say conservative shit, but she calls out her own side sometimes, and that draws in the conservative crowd. Take that as you will.

    Also, memes I find funny, but might not be to everyone’s taste.

    Good article on her: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Shoe0nHead

    In short, she was a super right wing MAGA chud years before MAGA was a thing (she was one of the full on Gamergaters) and then a couple years ago suddenly claimed she's a progressive leftist and totally reformed. It seemed possibly legitimate for a while there, but she's been slowly backsliding ever since.

    Makes it feel that much more like just a grift, ultimately.

    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” etc. 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 gamers^TM 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”.

    In her words:

    comedic social commentary from a left wing populist POV. stick around if you like loud screeching and bad memes.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • MadWorks@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I watch her content and I’d say she’s fairly left leaning, but not far left. She has her own brand of comedy but makes sane arguments.

      This is why I love Lemmy. Never knew this transcript website was a thing!

      I have an idea…

      @rikodou@lemmings.world could your TLDR bot theoretically summarise a video using the auto generated YouTube transcript? More of an experimental thing from my POV… if you try it out on here, please tag me so I can see the outcome 😁

  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.

  • Blamemeta@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I thought the solution is pretty clear. Stop being assholes to men.

    • Emperor@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That doesn’t really address the underlying issues.

  I'll never understand how people find value in and spend time consuming this kind of commentary.

  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.

    Woman are disposable too. But people try to help them. So why not help guys too.
