        There are people that call him a theater kid living his fantasy on twitter. Also the breadtube hate which I'm kinda out of the loop with.

          theater kid living his fantasy

          ... and? Is it just me or is that a weird criticism? God forbid someone live their dream.

          Ty. I'm also a bit out of the loop with the breadtube drama but those that don't like the theatrical aspects sound like wet blankets. A guy who loves theater focuses on lighting and costumes and theatrics in his videos? Imagine that! Preposterous!

            Yeah, there's a small (or, I assume they're small) but vocal group of leftists on YouTube/Twitter who seem to think content should be as dry and informative as possible. And look, I love creators like Shaun, Hakim, or BayArea415, but I think there's room for creators who are trying to make transformative, persuasive art pieces. It's a culture war, baby, and we need slightly flashier stuff like PhilosophyTube or maybe Noncompete or other leftist content creators with an artistic bent to their work.

            Literally, a part of my radicalization came from the comedy stylings of Stewart Lee. He's a popular British comedian, and he seems Left sympathetic though I'm not sure if he's an actual leftist or just a woke liberal, but there's lots of stuff in his work about broadly Left ideas like post-WWII welfare state or positive representations of vaguely left-ish utopia, plus endless dunking on conservatives. He's friends with Alan Moore so he must be all right. And it wasn't just Stewart Lee's act that pushed me from being a disaffected liberal teenager/twenty-something to whatever I am now, but his stuff was a step on my journey, putting a positive spin on issues that if you asked me about six years ago, like universal healthcare, I would've said "it's a nice idea, but could it ever work?" Definitely encouraged me to think deeper about political issues and research more. That's just what art can do.

        Its mostly fine but at times borders on self-indulgent. I'm trying to think of the one video he made where its like the same scene over and over again but slightly different each time. I dunno. That one bugged me. Its only a problem when it slows down or affects the process of actually conveying information.

          Yeah I hated that one too but it's a shtick even mainstream TV has used (Community). I found a video annoying, and yet Ollie remains uncancelled.

            yeah but pete also looks like a diseased rat, in addition to being a neoliberal stooge

            if you aint pretty on the inside, and your outsides also look like chuck e cheese had an inbred cousin that got beaten with a tire iron... like.. who wants that?

            im just saying... neoliberals can wear a ballgag if they look like fidel
