I feel like she used to be a darling of the old sub, but that seems to have stopped at some point and I now rarely see her mentioned.

    Some of her videos are good and funny, and interesting analyses of how the online right operates or some thought patterns people have in general. Her opinions on gender are almost always not very good imo. She has a lot of internalized transphobia and misogyny and it comes off strong in her videos. Last one I watched she basically said so, she gets insecure about herself and her identity. This doesn't make me dislike her personally, but I'm not going to refer people to her if they want to learn about trans issues or women's issues.

    I think she got semi-cancelled for comments about nonbinary people. I'm nonbinary myself and I was disappointed by her tweets and how she responded to the criticism, but overall it wasn't cancel-worthy to me. A trans woman youtuber saying my existence is the reason she needs to give her pronouns when talking to the cis is really not what is standing in the way of my rights. It says more about her own insecurity and I feel sad for her for that.

    Also she makes quite a bit of money and whenever that is the case for people, i think they tend to become less relatable especially to a leftist audience.
