hi im allegedly scared of cupcakes

eddy burback video: I did the russian sleep experiment for a month

theyre calling this shit “lost media” now

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.

Happy Pride month to the moon

hey white people . if u dont know how to pronounce an ethnic persons name *google it* or if its someone ur talking directly to *ask them*. dont fucking do that "erm i dont know how to pronounce but __" or "im gonna butcher this haha" or "im not even gonna bother trying" . ur not funny. do u know what poc think when they hear u saying that ? u sound like a loser asshole and we dont want to spend time with u . im so fucking tired of watching youtube videos about media from my country and hearing those phrases. im tired of people saying that to my face . i respect someone who clearly looked it up and is tryong but says my name wrong over someone who just goes with whatever bad first guess they had without trying. u have too many resources at ur disposal to keep doing this. for the love of god just Fucking Try. if ur confused Just Try.

I highly recommend Forvo.com, the website where native speakers of a language contribute their time and voices to read words and names in their own language. It is a fantastic way to expand your world, open up your ears, and it's way more likely to nab a hit than just googling.

wow , I didn't know this existed, thanks so much for sharing the resource !! I will absolutely be using it now too 🖤
