clearing up a definition: 'breadtube' means debate streamers who have pissy arguments about why saying slurs is funny, why the age of consent should be lower, etc, things of that nature. no video essayists are in breadtube. ty— Shaun (@shaun_vids) July 20, 2021
She genuinely thought he was throwing the election with his tweets. He even said something about the imagining idea of Biden winning but Trump doesn't accept the result and no one can do anything about it because no one actually knows what to do.
Then when Biden started winning she started posting gifs of exclusively black women clapping and dancing which was extremely weird.

Big oof. I don't know if this is digital blackface or just somewhere in the vicinity, but like, it's so obviously weird and cringe. Just, what exactly are you expressing with this?
I wanna give her the benefit of the doubt on this one, since for all her lib takes, Lindsay isn't an outright enemy to the left, I don't think. You're probably spot on with the magical black girl part of it, however. It's cringe, and to me it comes across as speaking for PoC or using them as props / sock puppets, even if it's not intended.
But then again, I'm also a white* guy, so I want to be careful not to do the same here.
God that was so weird since literally earlier that week she made a post about how she understood people not voting in the general but urged people to pay attention to Downballet/measures.
IDK I think libs get super butt hurt at her for that too.
The thing about Lindsay Ellis is that she, like most academics, is really only intelligent in one area. I like her video essays, but I just have to ignore anything she says about american politics.
They got so mad over it. It was amazing seeing so many people tell him it was, like, morally incorrect to even lightly criticize Biden for fear that he might convince someone not to vote for Biden lol
Sometimes I miss being on twitter, it's funny sometimes
Didn't libs get mad at him for daring to criticize the Democrats/Biden during the election?

It's performative wokeness. "Black girl magic saved the election, but also keep those thugs out of my neighborhood" type of energy

I was probably being overly harsh with that, but I always found the infantilization of black people during elections to be pretty gross.
