imperative that the cylinder must remain unharmed

It’s been discussed endlessly ik but it really is crazy how many “video essays” are just objectively not essays and are rather some guy listing out things he found on google with 0 analysis whatsoever.

I will never ever ever not be angry that that dogshit “Early CGI Was Horrifying” video with like 3.5mil viewers spends so much time calling Shelley Lake’s Polly Gone 1988 “a shitpost” and going “whoaaa it’s sooo weird duuuude it’s so crazy it’s such a shitpost mannnn it’s like a living meme hahaha” to the point that his stupid fucking viewers are in the comments of Shelley Lake’s own upload of it quoting his incurious drivel to her face when it is like, an extremely, blatantly obvious feminist short film by the first female graduate of the MIT Media Lab using a literally at-that-point-brand-new artistic medium to explore gender roles in the digital age. To claim to be discussing the topic of “early CGI” with any amount of authority whatsoever while treating marginalized pioneers using it to express themselves as punchlines and jeering at their “weirdness” is beyond infuriating to me lmfao. Average YouTuber essayist though.

Most annoying online emotion is "I have a funny personal anacdote to add to this but it doxxes like all of my personal information"

Y’all can be screaming every time you see a gorilla

jeff goldblum is the type of guy who gets mistaken for gay because he’s jewish. nathan lane is the type of guy who gets mistaken for jewish because he’s gay. stanley tucci is the type of guy who gets mistaken for gay because he’s a mild-mannered italian, which is jewish. seth meyers gets mistaken for jewish because of everything about him. zachary levi gets mistaken for jewish because everyone wants him dead. tom cruise gets mistaken for gay because he is.

To not mention gianmarco soresi in this is crazy

i limited it to people who are actually famous

you learn something new everyday. unless you're a historian. then you learn something old

Bad poetry is a lot like bad acting, actually, in that a lot of people get it into their heads that the aim is to get visibly emotional, where the actual aim is to have some kind of tactically calibrated effect on the audience

for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses 🥺" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint

look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."

whatever happens the rest of my life at least i will never again be 15 years old out at dinner with my family trying to talk my internet friend who i fully believe my parents will kill me if they find out about out of killing themselves while my parents keep asking me what im on my phone for
