Thumbnail is clickbait in the sense that the video does not address specific instances by specific creators, but is more of a call on everyone to reflect on certain behaviors we might/might not engage with. Just watch the first two minutes if that’s all the time you have right now, but do that much at least.
Edit: Some people are taking quotes that the AI has written in a comment and acting as if that’s what’s actually in the video. It’s not. I thought it should be obvious that if you want to critique the video, you have to watch it rather than depend on an AI to to provide a a summary.
This. the ironic misogyny and vibes you get from these places is grating if your not a cis male. and as much as I liked true anon brace’s ironic misogyny put me off so much I stopped watching for a while. Like duh women don’t wanna listen to that shit! it got old when right-wingers and centrists do it, it literally just puts off potential leftists with the way some figures on the left operate.
is an egregious example of this as always.
What I’m saying that leftist men need to read feminist theory and do some unpacking about trans/cis women. It’s the bare minimum in 2023
Brace said some weird shit about Elizabeth Warren that was super off putting and needlessly sexual. And she fucking sucks. But she sucks because of the shit she has done both in and out of politics not because she’s a woman. I mean, he’s a pretty funny dude but he was off the mark there.
which episode?
It was pretty early on in the show, I can’t recall the exact episode, I’m sorry.
I’ll add “having the emotional intelligence to apply what you’ve learned” to that bare minimum. Still a pretty low bar!
Ok but, it is funny most of the time
Law of diminishing returns. It gets super old and disappointing when it’s from a fellow leftist.
I can only find it funny BECAUSE it’s coming from a fellow leftist who I’m reasonably sure doesn’t actually believe any of it.

Counterpoint, I don’t find it funny. I find it grating. It’s just subjective humor at the end of the day
It is, that’s why hand-wringing about it as an example of patriarchy is so silly.
what about comedy makes it inherently above criticism? it may not be the head of the axe, but it’s not nothing either.
I’m glad to see Brace’s personal growth- he’s mostly moved on from the r-word to instead using neurodivergent as a pejorative
With his edgy persona I don’t see him ever doing some serious self-reflection and apologising tbh
