#why is it that if I want radfem video content I have to either settle for reactionary right wing grifters (who are barely radical feminists)

[myopicry]

dumb vent but god it sucks that there are so few good youtubers/video essayists who hold gender critical views from a left-wing perspective and/or radical feminist views. (unfortunately) long form video content such as video essays are the primary ways younger generations form their political/philosophical views (hence why often ideology "pipelines" are discussed on youtube) but there are so few radical feminists on the platform who aren't also right-wing conservatives, and the ones that do exist are obviously not popular enough to reach broader audiences and so won't have as much production value available to them.

I think quite often about how the most popular leftist youtubers are men...it's one of the biggest reasons I stopped watching video essays altogether. even now I actually struggle to name any women breadtubers who make genuine video essays with commentary more than how a tiktok trend is bad. (which, yes. all the tiktok trends are bad. but anyone could figure that out!!! I want more substance in my analysis please!!!! you'd think with how long the videos get they'd actually have more to say but man. I thought I had trouble being concise)

sometimes I think it wouldn't even be that difficult to take the "breadtube" video essay style and just mimic it, and if were a braver person I'd do it myself, but we all know how difficult it already is to be even slightly critical of gender ideology online as a woman !!
