Yeah, regardless of struggle sessions over their politics, I find both of them unwatchable. Something about their editing or voice is just like audio poison to me, has been for ober a decade
It's a copying of zefrank but zefrank could get away with it because he's goofy and funnier than them. They're just awkward and take themselves seriously.
Uggghhhh, Zefrank! I forgot his name, but yes, he's, like, the concentrated essence of that style I hate! One of my roommates in college would listen to him a lot, and since I don't really want to police other people's stuff for my weird audio issues, I would just put in my earbuds and do something
He does goofy nature documentaries in a fake Morgan Freeman voice now. Go watch. It'll make you grumpy!
No they're not. They're just a bit...older than most folks on the internet.
Why would this be a struggle session? The Green Bros legit do so much good stuff.
Struggle sessions about John Green are a time-honored internet tradition. It all started with the infamous tumblr one. Hexbear has had also had mild struggle sessions about him (and/or Hank) before
Oh yeah. Tumblr.
I still think they're good and don't deserve the hate they get.
I'm only familiar with them through Crash Course History - and mountains of threads about how bad the history they teach is.
No they’re good. It’s obviously just a Crash Course. And it’s meant for HS students. You have to set reasonable expectations.
The worst thing about CC is that it imprisons the viewer in 2013
Like when John talked about how he used to favor Marxism until he became a capitalist realist and then [immense absurd liberalism]?
I read Turtles All The Way Down when it came out, and I still think nearly every day about the scene where the protagonist drinks hand sanitizer in the hospital because of her compulsive anxiety about getting a stomach infection.
Also Hank Green’s books are two of my favorite books of all time, they’re super amazing light sci-fi that’s actually about how social media is destroying us. 10/10.
I don’t watch much crash course anymore but when I was in high school they were super helpful. SciShow’s good. SciShow Tangents is great. Dear Hank and John is good, same setup as MBMBAM but ngl I find the McElroy’s exhausting in a way I don’t find the Greens.
i respect John taking the correct line on ballsmell
