my favorite part of the video essay cinematic universe is when video essayists voice act each others screenshots. an unfortunate side effect of this though is the first two minutes of lindsay ellis’s omegaverse lawsuit video where folding ideas and hbomberguy read explicit wolf porn to you.

Dear Lindsay Ellis, this is not how you begin an "apology' to Indigenous people who call you out on your racism.

The downward spiral of YouTube video essays is so seductive.
One minute you're watching Lindsay Ellis's 90 minute video about Yoko Ono and the HBomberGuy's 4 hour plagiarism takedown, and the next thing you know you're watching not one but TWO different videos about Ned Fulmer.
Anyway recommend me your favorite YT video essayist. Not Jenny Nicholson, Sarah Z, Strange Aeons or Hannah Alonzo, I already watch them.

I know that the discourse is done and over with now, but the thing about the “white Heathcliff” is:
We can’t know for sure how Emily Bronte imagined Heathcliff to look like (though I think there is enough data to think that he was not supposed to be white) but I think trying to make Heathcliff white and “palatable” is antithetical to what this character represents. In any other Victorian novel the protagonist’s mysterious origins would be explained at the end and he would be revealed to be an heir to a large fortune or at least to be “white all along” (thank you, Lindsay Ellis) but this is not so with Heathcliff. With Heathcliff you are supposed to sit with the discomfort of not knowing. He is supposed to be a profoundly marginal figure. The right-wingers on Twitter who try to make him “palatable” for themselves are I think thinking of Heathcliff as “Mr. Darcy but self-made”. He is not that. He is supposed to make you uncomfortable. Think of what ethnicity for Heathcliff would make you most uncomfortable, he is that ethnicity.
If I were making a Turkish retelling of Wuthering Heights I would suggest Heathcliff being Kurdish, Armenian, Romani, a nomadic Alevi Türkmen or a Syrian refugee, all in the same sentence, and then sit with everyone trying to make sense of it.
It is not supposed to make much sense. Heathcliff is not supposed to be a palatable character to the leftist side of things either, he is not supposed to be politically correct, elaborate, detailed, concrete “representation” either. He is meant to produce a sense of discomfort. How to adapt such a character? Well, maybe you shouldn’t.

something I realized looking at the stats for “breadtube” creators like Hbomberguy, PhilosophyTube, ContraPoints, etc. is, as much as we may tend to think of them as all having comparable platforms, it really isn’t even close.
yes, many of the core group have a similar number of subscribers (1-2M) and many of them are friends or have collaborated in the past, but in terms of actual viewership, none of the others even come close to having the same reach as Hbomberguy.
at time of writing, his last video got 24M views. 6 of his last 8 videos got ~10M or more. The average viewership for his essays is ~5.6 million, a number that ContraPoints has cracked a total of four times, Lindsay Ellis and Shaun once each, and PhilosophyTube never.
there isn’t a huge point to this other than that it kinda reframes the scale of their platforms, for me at least. none of them have a platform even remotely comparable in size to hbomberguy.

Ampersand, Cora, Kaveh, and Nikola from Truth of the Divine.
I started this forever ago and have finally accepted that I’ll likely never finish it. So if you see any unfinished parts, no you didn’t.
