This is a take I've been sitting on for a while, but I think one of the insidious elements of the public treatment of Dream that makes it so hard to productively talk about him from any angle, whether that's defensive or critical, is how much of it is drenched with misogyny.

The internet was perfectly fine with clowning on Dream and his audience for so long because of the stereotype that they're all just immature, emotional, overly attached teenage girls. His fanbase is overwhelmingly female and queer, and it would be naive to say that didn't play a part in how the wider gaming sphere treated him.

But when it came out that Dream might have been taking sexual advantage of those same young female fans, the cishet white gamer dudes who once mocked Dream changed their tune, dismissed those allegations, and pitied him. He became just another innocent man wrongly accused by those "evil bitches trying to ruin his career."

His fanbase's parasociality is a problem that Dream encouraged, but that the misplaced backlash given for the wrong reasons fueled and exacerbated. To see controversy over Dream cheating on a speedrun treated with the same as or even greater gravity than grooming allegations... it's appalling, and scary, and absolutely fueled by hatred and condescension towards women.

And as frustrated as I am by the remaining fans who won't listen to any fears about him, it's hard for me not to sympathize with the women and LGBTQ+ people among them, because it's terrifying to confront that your safe space is not entirely safe.

i am mad at this tiktok trend of video essay recommendations, and not just because i have a very very intense special interest in video essays and youtube commentary. -___- guyssss, a video essay does not have to be scary or unsettling to be a GOOD video essay. all of yalls reccs are like, 20-something minute videos about "gadagoobies left toe: a creepypasta turned real" and tbh thats like, a sphere of video 'essay'. imma say it, and imma be a lil time-elitist here, but 20 minutes is a video, not a video essay. if youve chosen a topic, and said topic cannot fill more than like half an hour, consider me unimpressed in either your research skills or topic choice. not to mention, again, horror internet video essays are like fuckin, 1/10th of the video essays out there. show me breadtube video essays, movie video essays, whatever the hell Jenny Nicholson is doing, Ro Ramdin, Contrapoints??

do yall want me to show you my spreadsheet O___O ill show u my fuckin spreadsheet, theres so much more out there besides your half furry sprites talking about internet horror from 2011 for 23 minutes.

my reccs? literally anything by Ladyknightthebrave. she has very very in depth and emotional video essays about media, including a big focus on holocaust media as she is Jewish. her Jojo Rabbit/The Book Thief video makes me cry EVERY time, and i cry like ten times a year. ough, she has a video about Cowboy Bebop that focuses SO MUCH on the music! A video essay about a bad holocaust movie where she literally interviews holocaust expertsss! Her video on MASH made me go watch the whole thing, same with Stargate. and gods, her video about Fleabag blew me away. just pleeease go check ANY of her videos out.

Jenny Nicholson. you want random? she's got it. she has a video where she reviews every single Land of Time movie, and theres a LOT of those. She deep dives into the brony fandom. etc etc. i know she's popular but still, theres a reason for that.

Contrapoints. absolutely gorgeous video making about politics, self, etc. and she's queer as hell, amazing. I just can't describe the depth she puts into her videos.

FDSignifier. a huge part of breadtube (or leftist youtube) who makes a lottt of excellent video essays on black masculinity. Big, full videos, with a good perspective to see if you are a white viewer.

CJ the X just has a ton of excellent video essays as well. They are very intellectual.

Ro Ramdin, my gods, most of her videos are not what i would call video essays, but she tows the line. Emotional, funny, to the point, amazingly shot, and compassionate to the bone.

i probably have more but here's my point, branch out, dont put non-horror video essays down. we get it, you watch gore on liveleak and draw ur edgy fursona with scars all over them. (was that harsh? sorry, just uhhh please consider perspective and the culture of creepypasta/horror online being a cesspool of self harm via forcing ones self to watch upsetting things)

So funny that when poor people and people of color critiqued Mr. Beast and his video model we were all called broke bitter bitches but now that another white man refuses to suck the shit out of his ass other people can see how much mr exploitation eats shit???? Fucking blow me

Okay but like think of levi swooping in after a messy breakup like-

"Your ex did what!?"

"Yeah, but it's fine I'm over it"

"Man, if I had you, I'd never treat you like that.."

-🕸

And Levi only said it because he saw it in an anime between the MC and their best friend / soon to be love interest-

I’m kidding!! Mostly hshdhsh

Really he’d be so sweet, in his own way!!! And the way I would still fold immediately-
