Comedy and Masculinity
Welcome back everyone! Enbies! Girls! … Fellas…
Last time we looked at The Aesthetics of Intellectualism, the ways that toxic masculinity and fascist rhetoric disguise themselves in thinkyman speak, and of course the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise.
Alright.
This was supposed to be a sequel to that, but then something really important happened. Something that shook society to its core. On October 4th 2019, Joker was released.
Right lads look. It's like this: Jok...

Halloween Special
Section 1: Bad Movies
Welcome back non binary friends and also everyone else.
It’s Halloween again, that deeply spooky time of year. Halloween is a time for frights, a time for chills, but most of all, a time for getting beer and pizza, and watching some bad movies with your pals.
I've been a bad movie lover since high school, when my friend Georgia used to buy kung fu and horror movies from poundland in 4 movie bargain sets. Yes, 4 movies for a pound. 25...

In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick, there’s a funky gadget which never made it into its film adaptation, Bladerunner. A common theme to both is empathy as a defining quality of human beings, but in the book there is a device people can use to experience the same reality as others simultaneously but also across time. They all tap into the virtual reality experience of a man struggling up a hill and in their shared struggle they are drawn to...

UNLOCKED! The Aesthetics of Intellectualism, or Why Nietzsche Sucks [UNABRIDGED PATREON VERSION]
Why Nietzsche Sucks, or The Aesthetics of Intellectualism
“It is man's duty to discern fact from fiction, and for each man to challenge the world in this way every day” - Aristotle
Section 1: Looking Smart
I’ve been noticing a troubling pattern recently, and I’m sure you have too. After the conservative right wing spent decades as the political movement of censorship, hysteria, religious faith and mass panic over “moral values” (read: peen + vagoo = good), in recent times there has been a swi...

Research Note: Hu-wite People Did It
So I’m reading this book, The Secret History of Twin Peaks, as part of my research for a creative project and I’ve just encountered a thing that I think bears discussion not just in the context of Twin Peaks but in the larger context of how we tell stories that talk about history, especially colonial history.
See, in The Secret History of Twin Peaks, there is a repetitive use of Native American religion as an unknown other, a sort of mysticism that nee...

The Great Debate: Is Anime Cursed?
CW: Some really racist shit, various spoilers
Section 1: The meme, the legend
I should probably start this essay by greeting all my new subscribers. I see that nearly a thousand of you subscribed because of my BPD video discussing my personal experiences with mental illness and the effects of stigma and media representation. So today we’re talking about anime.
So I wanted to do a little video on Yu Gi Oh and cultural appropriation. I was consi...

So first off if I'm gonna get in some people who are angry about this game and talk sense into them I should probably have as atrocious a thumbnail as possible. BJ Blazkowicz in a pussy hat? Nah, wait. An “I'm With Her" shirt. And… text.. ummm… “feminism strikes again". Perfect.
Okay we're not doing that.
I'm sorry to anyone who might come to this video who does want an explanation of why social justice ruined Wolfenstein. I'm sorry about how incredibly mistaken they are...

So I have BPD - Borderline Personality Disorder. Up front, this is going to be the shitty part of this essay, because I need to tell you about BPD, the Beepadeeps. The Beepadeeps is my personal cutesy nickname for devastat...

The Swedish ship the Vasa was a naval flagship constructed between 1626 and 1628 and set sail on its maiden voyage on 10th August 1628. At 69 metres long it was a very nice boat and it was built to be a powerfully impressive vessel - the pride of the Swedish empire. However, shortly after setting sail, in front of a crowd of hundreds or possibly thousands of spectators, including ambassadors from both allied and enemy countries, the pride of the empire blew over...

Dream Daddy (and queer representation) - MAKE IT GAY!
Section 1: Dream Daddy
Hi, I’m Eric and I’m bisexual which means I’m attracted to non-binary people, men, and women. I’m super queer. I’m queer as hell. I know what you’re wondering, and yes, I have held hands with a man. I’ve held hands with a woman. I’ve held hands with a man, and a woman, at the same time. Scandalous.
Today I’ve decided I want to talk about being gay in video games. Specifically, one ...
