So I'm actually trying to watch it unlike the rest of y'all you dorks.
She like... barely talks about Twilight, so far it's been 90% her pseudo-intellectual musing on romance. Which granted she's pretty good at pseudo-intellectual musing, I've def listened to less interesting pseudo-intellectual musings, but it is just musings.
Edit: there's a joke in there about how the left needs to "focus on purging counter revolutionary Vaushites." Which I got a snicker out of.
Honestly, like most long video essays there's some interesting tidbits of info but you have to Wade through a lot of unnecessary bs to get to it.
Very few people make a tight video over 30 minutes. It's almost always full of ramblings, distractions, or jokes. And the longer the video, the better those things need to be to keep me onboard.
I wish there were more like Shaun. He makes a short joke, then moves on to the next point
Thank you for the report. I sure as hell am not going to watch it, but there is something that wiggles at the back of my brain that wonders how glaring and rank her increasing lib-ness has become now. From what you say, it sounds like it's just another run-of-the-mill lib-leaning (and overlong) video essay.
Honestly here analysis isn't bad when she's talking about media stuff, I'd argue she's even half decent at historical research. I'll admit I actually thought her video before this one was pretty good. But you kinda have to view each of them in a vacuum to enjoy them.
