Her videos are cool as shit for the most part and have helped me ( a cis straight dude)
Understand trans and queer culture better fwiw.
Anticommunist white queer folks can still analyze systems of oppression as it relates to them, but being unable to practice intersectionality beyond "you can be A and B at the same time" and utterly rejecting materialism in favor of civility politics is a red flag.
Releasing a 4 hour video where the gist is that there are antisemites infiltrating our uwu queer leftist spaces sounds like wrecker behavior though.
Don't make me put you on the shelf next to Contrapoints, Jessie Gender. It'll break my heart.
I don't generally write people off. Just because they're adjacent to some weird youtube club or something.
Didn't chapo and this forum used to but lick certain breadtubers?
Not trying to be a dick, but I'm pretty sure that was a thing at one point
If you mean the chapo subreddit disregard everything they said, they were all libs.
Yea they used to, not anymore since many have shown lib views in different issues.
Like if you want to like JG content thats fine, but lately she has shown she is a both sides libs when it comes to the gaza genocide, condeming Hamas and talking about the the big crisis of antisemitism in the left.
She will eventually have worst takes as time goes one, just like other breadtubers before. Just dont be surprise when it happens
I mean if she gets bad. I'll tune out, simple as.
I just like her star trek stuff mostly.

Probably why i never listened to them. I can’t take new york podcasters writing about revolution seriously lol
Yes, the chapo guide to revolution was an instructional handbook
Clarification, even ironic books not-about-revolution with “revolution” in the name is cringe from new york podcasters
Content consumption isn't praxis. Parasocial relationships are real but not material. Examine all media critically. Jesse gender is good when she's good and bad when she's bad. If her analysis is based on bad faith arguments, poor framing, low context, lack of empirical studies, etc. then it should be criticized on those grounds. Parasocially liking someone should be something you try to not let control you. It's a one way window after all.
Jessie Gender talking about Star Trek and trans stuff: good
Jessie Gender talking about other things: bad
I enjoyed her content until her why-I'm-voting-for-Biden video, after which I unsubscribed from and blocked her channels. The fact that Jessie has always had (leftist) political content in her videos makes it impossible for me to just write her off as another liberal being a liberal. It's like watching a video of someone who I thought was amateur space historian stubbornly argue that the moon landings are fake -- they should know better.
Watching people go to bat for or seek validation of their parasocial relationships is so weird to me. Like she makes some youtube videos, if you like some of them great, if you don't, fine. If you disagree with enough that you stop caring about her views on anything else then stop watching. Or maybe just stop watching in general because there are definitely better informed people with better takes out there that you could be reading. It's entertainment, as long as it's not all literal brain rot who gives a fuck if other people like it or not.
Chill. I'm just asking. It's not like I'm staking my life or putting any real feelings towards it.
If you're a trans woman and you have a silver play button, there was generally a regrettable chain of events that allowed that to happen. The algorithm will scarcely allow anyone actually cool to reach that level of success.
I hate to see it
Are there even cool trans youtubers? I have a few in my watch later I think.Honestly, there are really only two cool trans YouTubers that immediately come to my mind, and one of them seems like she's trying to be stealth, so... I guess I'll just mention DaThings, then?
I mean, it's like any content creator. Watch what you like, but don't start running defence when they start pulling stunts that rightfully make people mad.
She's fine, but she's a Lib and buys "Harm Reduction" as a thing that can actually happen.
