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
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.

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.
