Yeah she didn’t really engage with the criticism of Buck Angel. He’s a huge piece of shit and she (kinda) defended him. She did acknowledge other problems with what he said about non-binary people, etc, but in the context of hand-waving it all away, like “yeah he’s wrong about this, why do you care so much?”
But the context was that she was at the center of a Twitter witch hunt because of a 15 second voice clip in one of her videos, which didn’t endorse or even mention any of Buck’s problematic views. People were hounding random other YouTubers just for being friendly with her, even if they had nothing to do with the controversy. It was crazy.
I at least understand how at a glance he could be mistaken for a leftist, or at least an MSNBC “progressive,” but it should be obvious by now he isn’t! Like, one of his biggest things is ranting about the evils of indigenous rights groups, under the assumption that they’re trying to reclaim their land so they can immediately turn around genocide the white settlers. And that’s when he’s not ranting about trans people or pushing for war.
She’s following the path of Glinner and other British Terfs, where eventually trans people will be literally all she talks about. There’s something about that specific strain of transphobia, that it takes over your life completely, even if it means destroying your career and marriage.
It’s so shitty that these chuds always try to use the veneer of social justice language to attack left wingers. Like they’ll spend hours a day online ranting about how they hate identity politics then turn around and be like “actually I’m asian and it’s racist to criticize the things I say and do.”
Back in like 2018, Glenn was rightfully dunking on the IDW crowd, Bari Weiss, etc, and debunking their fake outrage over “campus free speech”.
He clearly knows it’s bullshit, and it’s really disappointing that now he acts like he doesn’t. All the more disappointing because it seems to be cynical and motivated by money.
