"people told me I was a part of something called breadtube and also fuck you for it"

Sorry, the title is ironic, I gave for granted that everyone saw the video, or at least a sinopsis of it.

Oh for fuck sakes

Its actually quite fucked, dude is steamrolling over actual queer writers and thinkers, many of whom are dead or languishing in obscurity, guy is a fuckhead

I enjoyed it. It's rambling in terms of the overall thesis, but everything he says does have a purpose (that might not help the thesis but still means something).

It could have been a 30 minute expose, but instead, he pulled out a folder full of receipts and just started reading them verbatim into the camera.

Plagiarizing much poorer queer authors while holding up a pretense of original research and further misinforming people when you speak off script because you don't actually do any research is bad. Dude could literally just not fuck over poorer authors writing articles on blogs and such and he'd still get plenty of money.

the guy's not just getting a paycheck, he's doing pretty well and even founded a (Star Citizen-esque) movie production company, all while lifting his content from marginalized authors that often struggle financially themselves (or are dead, in some cases)

He is erasing queer history and substituting in reactionary daydreams as factual history, its destructive and fucked up, you should care

I also don't care about my job and see it as just a paycheck too so I do the bare minimum to make money. Like, unitonically, that's the system we have that incentivizes us to do the least work to get paid. I'll reserve my ire for cops and landlords

I understand where you're coming from, however I still think it's probably uncool to bite off the work of others, especially when they themselves aren't getting paid let alone being recognized for their work. Don't get me wrong I'm 420.69% all for slacking on the job and doing the most you can to figure out how to do the least you can and still get paid, get your money. However, when I think it's a slimeball move to swipe the work of other workers.

Writers and "CONTENT CREATORS®©™" are workers, and it seems like the leftie-thing to do is not jack their shit. Stealing from your boss, the professional managerial-class, MEGACORPS, all that sort of stuff is sexy and cool. Stealing the work of other katz who are just trying to make it as well seems kinda wack to me.

Especially when things like writing which is actually transformed by the person doing it. I don't know the Marxist term or whatever, but it seems like actual work and labor going into forming ideas and getting those ideas out into the world.

I hope I don't come as a scold or a buzzkill. Not my intention at all.

I suggest you to watch the video

Did you watch the thing? I gotta say that you sound to me like someone whose going off of summary and here say and honestly if you haven’t seen it I encourage you to because it is hard to grasp from summary how insidious the behavior he exposes really is. It is certainly lazy but it’s also very exploitative, particularly to obscure queer historians and writers
