I still think it’s funny (sad way) that Lindsay Ellis lost basically her whole career (especially the PBS work) over Raya & The Last Dragon, a movie I’m willing to bet that most of you only remembered exists now that I’ve brought it up.

So I want to make another analysis post on Barbie bc I saw a post yet again but I didn't want to reblog it my own opinions on it bc that might seem rude and some things in the original post are valid so here we go.
So I am not gonna invalidate trans women's opinions on the gynecologist scene, I am just going to provide my own interpretation of it as a genderqueer demigirl so take it if you will. When I was watching it in cinemas, I was like "oh Barbie got bottom surgery, good for her!" bc I felt this was a natural progression of her arc, Barbie wants to be human, Barbie wants to experience everything good and bad there is to humanity. I feel like saying "oh this movie had Barbie get a vagina bc that would make her a 'real woman'" is kind of diminishing the story here which is that Barbie has become okay with irrepressible thoughts of death, Barbie has become okay with cellulite, Barbie has become okay with aging, she now wants cellulite, to age and to eventually have her ending one day. She kind of reminds me of some trans women I know who want to menstruate if that makes any sense (this isn't out of like some obligation or whatever they just want to do it... pls don't), so when the movie was like "Barbie has a vagina now", I just went "good for her". Like Barbie became a real woman LONG before she had her bottom surgery, when she kept thinking abt death, when she cried, when she began to feel insecure about herself, when she had an existential crisis, when she saw how much love life has to offer. Before Ruth Handler even appeared, Barbie became human, she doesn't act like the other Barbies anymore. But when Ruth appared, she finally became sure, she didn't want to be an idea anymore, it is also bc her human has realised that there's nothing wrong with cellulite, nothing wrong with death and aging. Her bottom surgery did not cement her finally becoming human.
There are also some who did not like the whole meta joke of "Margot Robbie is not the kind of person to cast for this" like I don't like meta jokes either but I thought the whole point of that scene was that no matter what women do, they will never be good enough. Barbie is already so brilliant and beautiful yet she can't see that bc there are other Barbies that have won Nobel prizes, there are other Barbies that are doctors, Barbies that are presidents and if she can't be any of those then what was she made for? And the film says "isn't it good enough to just love yourself? To live? To be human?" Also, it's kind of just to show that women can never be attractive enough (I am thinking abt kpop stars getting plastic surgery and I am just like??? What??? You're already literally impossibly attractive???)
There are also criticisms of the whole "I am a man with no power, does that make me a woman?" being how cis people perceive trans people and yeah that is how they perceive us but this did not feel like a specific jab at trans people to me bc these were the same people who also went "I am not sexist! I am the son of a mother and I have a sister as well" (they also make some jokes like 'I am the mother of a son' but I think that was just Mattel trying to convince Greta to make them silly little guys <they aren't) so there's that. This could be clumsy writing as while yes these guys were funny a lot of their scenes were just kind of flimsy yknow?
There's also criticism abt the teen calling Barbie a fascist being how conservatives see left leaning people and first off I know MANY people who are like this and act EXACTLY like that, some of you reading this post probably act exactly like her. She has valid criticisms of Barbie perpetuating unrealistic body standards but she also doesn't acknowledge that Barbie is unrealistically thin is so that she looks okay and not off-putting with clothes on (since Barbie clothes aren't exactly form-fitting yknow?) but she also uses a lot of terms incorrectly. She calls Barbie, the idea, the concept itself, fascist. The company that owns Barbie, Mattel, is fascistic but Barbie isn't. It kind of reminded me how a lot of children that grew up in the global north will cling on to leftist politics but then won't educate themselves on imperialism, the detrimental effects of communism, colonialism and post-colonialism and many more and will also speak over poc and disabled people a lot (I am side-eyeing you so many of you rn)
At the end of the day, Barbie is not a perfect film by a milestone, it is still a movie approved by Mattel. But to call it a "harsh conservative corporate cash-grab" is to ignore the nuances in it, which I am seeing a lot of with you lot nowadays jfc

Not to derail the conversation, but I honestly believe the whole Raya mess was done in bad faith and that Ellis' comments were not as bad as people made them out to be. Xiran Jay Zhao's video series about how Raya is actually bad Asian representation explains this better.
It depends WHAT comments you mean, the problem is the moment she got pushback for indefensible comments, she made defensive comments and then made the whole scandal about those. Which is why it is relevant to her twlight/pocahontas/long record of anti-Indigenous racism and encouraging her fans to harass Indigenous critics, it is a PATTERN of behaviour. Does something no one can defend, gets called out, does something plausible deniable or nuanced, gets alot of attention on that, then accuses anyone who mentions the first thing as overblowing the second. and then apologising and explaining how shes the REAL victim over what happened about the second think to make sure no one can ever bring up, and most will never even remember, the first. It has happened again and again. Her famous raya comments were supposed to not be as bad, because they were the 'cover scandal' to her having been caught out encouraging her fans to harass people over her initial quickly deleted comments that they buried. You messaging this is proof her strategy works. Congratulations. Next time she has a scandal, watch her do it again. She has one trick and has been repeating it for years, since before she had her own channel even.

Why do people start talking about Nazis in the comments about Loss?
Could it be because the meme was founded on bullying the artist, and many bullies are trash people in different ways?

the leftist "this is accidental..." is the exact same thing as the far rights "It was just a joke..."
leftists NEVER forgive even the smallest mistake. they ran linsey ellis off the internet because she didn't like Raya the last dragon. they will harrass people for months if not years for supporting the return of kidnapped hostages including babies.
why is antisemitism, protocols of zion antisemitism, just "a mistake" when NOTHING ELSE is ever a mistake, only a moment of going mask off and revealing the "real" person? I'll tell you. it's because antisemitism is a happy accident they agree with.

Ok random thought, Idk much about Lindsay Ellis. But you know, every time I think back to it I'm like: "You guys were fucking stupid, and now you're not even owning up to it, you fucking dumbasses." Like her saying smth like Raya atl Dragon being like AtlA with the weird cobbled together world, and it being a genre or smth.
And then some absolutely blackhole brains decided to call her a racist, and basically the worst shit until she decided to leave the internet at the time.
And then? These fucking brainless idiots basically admitted "Yeah, whoopsie poopsie, she was kinda right." But instead of just being like "Sorry our bad." these absolute nutcases decided that they can't even do that and make shitty excuses like "Ok, we did step over, BUT it's not on us to apologize for this, and I mean some people might still feel offended. And I mean maybe she didn't deserve it, but what if feefees were hurt? We just really don't get to step back from being absolute dumbfucks defending dumbfuck behavior, because we can take all the steps forward, but taking a step back? *shruggie wuggie*"
Absolutely baffling. You're not coming across as taking a stance of marginalized people, or taking a stance for your fellow countrymen, you come across as a spineless idiot who can't admit when you fucked up.

Lindsay Ellis plagiarized a ndn author
This post isn't a callout and it's only my own post because the OP source I just learned it from, @neechees, doesn't allow rbgs at a certain point on that post.
After Hmbomberguy's expose on Illuminaughtii and James Somerton some people are giving a well deserved eye back to the leftube sphere that was kind of schism-d and held under scrutiny in what I feel was, a lot of the time, misinformed hate campaigns in response to genuine criticism; especially towards Lindsay Ellis who up left after she was canceled and hasn't returned to continuous video making publicly even after people have mostly agreed the hatedom directed for her Raya and the Last Dragon takes was stupid and was erasing actual SEA people's discussions of the culture. To hear and see a decent breakdown of that film's representation problems BEYOND the Ellis-parts because it's worth your wild regardless of if you've seen the movie, please watch the three part video series hosted by Xiran Jay Zhao.
To tl;dr the 2021 drama: people have held an ire towards Ellis for a long time feeling like her and her white-woman base talk over, steal, or just straight up don't apologize for their own racism towards women and ppl of color, and after Lindsay did a problematic by pointing out that Raya and the Last Dragon was like ATLA, people jumped on her.
Being both a longtime fan of Ellis and white as fucc, I personally feel like Lindsay kind of forgave herself and threw out the actual criticisms held against her every bit as much as people just kind of treated her like a punching bag. Or, to paraphrase @padawan-historian's old takes from then, they treated Lindsay like she was trying to be the ENTIRE conversation, not the start of one, and like every possible outcome that could happen over her videos was her fault personally. Some of Lindsay's loudest and nastiest 'critics' were, in fact, other white people or just people who have no good faith in addressing her fuck ups, like Lily Orchard, fe.
One 'Lindsay did a racism'point tho that I felt wasn't truly addressed in full though were claims by indigenous people that she was anti-native, especially in her videos about Twilight and Pocahontas, which yeah at the time I was very passive of you can 100% find post abt that. But then Neechees linked me to an article I, and I think a lot of other video essay-fans had never seen before. This article accused Lindsay of stealing half of her talking points on Disney's Pocahontas from theirs.
When people on the breadtube spectrum talk of Lindsay, even people who criticized her at the time. all kind of agree that the intensity of the backlash was uncalled for and, while not everyone agrees if her public silence is a 'canceling' or not, agree with her need to just take care of herself these days. For those curious, this is the article making this claim:
I am not saying you need to all unfollow and hate everything Lindsay ever touched, mkay? But I also genuinely hope that Lindsay addresses this+comes clean because holy fuck. Unlike Somerton, all I can tell you is I don't just 'believe Windsey wouldn't hurt nobody uwu~'. I am pretty certain that Lindsay care about the topics she covers, for whatever that's worth to say as another whiteperson. It's just that, like Contrapoints, I ALSO think she has a tendency to deflect criticism within that sphere and lump all her negative bagage together. This really sucks cuz not all of us are Lily Orchards or Vaush clones.
Most of us are/were casual watchers of Lindsay like we are Hbomber, Contra, Lady Emily, Folding Ideas, and ToddintheShadows (does he count as leftube idk?) and we really, genuinely don't want to believe that Lindsay stole from + refuses to listen to women of color when they call her out.
Where I like almost everyone in the leftoob analyst sphere that's ever growing and hopefully now weeding out Illumanaughtii-s and Sommerton-s of the world, there ARE controversies within the space that I don't agree with creators on. Some are dumb things like the exact takes Lindsay has about movies n shows that I just up and disagree with her on, Princess Weekes' proshipping apologia that I have LOTS of thoughts on. However, some matters are clearly personal and about maters that just don't involve me. Earlier this year, Folding Ideas and Lady Emily ctrl+alt+deleted some replies they made to Quinton Reviews, making clear that they very much still dislike him based on something that happened between Quinton, Lindsay and I think SarahZ. And by "dislike", I mean also still believeing his former editor over him on who was boundary pushing about who in their relationship. On the offchance any of those creators or their stans somehow see this, know that I'm not going to tell any of you guys how to feel about whatever Quinton did in private I'm not aware of; it's just that I also happen to believe Quinton on this issue and I don't like the guiltybyassociation mantra.
>>>>side note: I hate that every time someone says "I believe so and so after hearing their side now" ppl jump on the "you were just a stan from the beginning and never actually able to listen"-bs. Yeah, being more familiar with one creator over the other means there's bias, sure, but I kinda hate that that once held bias means you can't be held as any kind of source or form your own opinions. <<<
Big introvert vibes ahead: the thing about any big social circle of better-spoken people than you is they ALL seem like a scary meangirl's table from outside looking in. The kind that'll send goons after you with passive-aggressive "this is slander against me and I have the right to be upset abt it sorry if the stans eat you alive". They can also be made out by their fans to be harmless internet nobody's who YOU are at fault for getting mad and staying mad at cuz it's not like it matters on the internet and are clearly just out for drama and 'twofaced' yourself. I think the reality is the same thing that drives every community forward as well as drives them apart: these people are legitimate friends. They stick up for each other the same way we stick up for our personal internet friends whenever there's shit coming their way. The breadtube circle, whoever that is at this point, clearly know some shit we don't about themselves as much as they don't know shit about us and our true intentions. One of them has a platform and responsibility, where the other has power in masses and following them or not. We gotta all make the choices best for us.
Anyway. I guess, if any of the stuff about Lindsay ripping off that writer IS true, I really hope that she admits and apologizes for it. That's not cool to do to her indigenous audience, or even me, one of her white fans who expects actually allyship.

Absolutely fucking wild to me, as a Vietnamese gay guy, that Lindsay Ellis got driven off social media over a mild critique of Raya and the Last Dragon and nowadays no one gives a shit about that movie because of how poorly written the script was and how homogeneous the southeast Asian representation was lmao.
