It’s also not surprising given that most people are ultimately misogynist, racist, etc., just because the entire culture they inhabit and that formed them is). They are unlikely to read the kinds of nuances that Shaun brings to his analysis of the film, because they probably essentially live minor versions of Caleb’s behaviour on a daily basis. That does also kind of make me like the film though for subtly condemning the character for basically being a well-meaning liberal who can only see injustice in relatively self-serving and individualised terms

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
