I usually like her videos, but having the finer points of trans Twitter terminology explained to me for over one and a half hours makes me want to send Jordan Peterson a Patreon donation. Seriously, these fucking people and their constant goal post shifting.

She's been very inconsistent for about a year IMO. I still think she's brilliant, but something has changed... it seems much more narcissistic and self-serving these days, and I don't get the same sense of honesty and nuance that used to make her content worth watching.
I'm scared to watch this new one... pretty sure its just gonna make me mad.

the whole affair is walking a preposterously fine line - it's a wonder any of it ever worked at all, and imo zero surprise if/when it falls apart
THAT SAID...
just based on the topic (I ain't watched the vid and probably can't any time soon), is there a single case of someone being "canceled" where the consequences went beyond what was appropriate? james, that thing you shared about YA eating their young was probably the most convincing thing I've seen, which was refreshing if only because it explains some of the reactionary hand-wringing. but most of the famous cases are... fine. louis CK hasn't been unduly punished, and neither has aziz ansari. I haven't spent too much time on twitter, and that must color my thinking on this. a bunch of people saying "you are bad!" on the internet only has so much power. and if people are being bad, then yes the internet should absolutely say "you are bad", that's how social change happens. but I guess with everything being so polarized & herd-ified lately, maybe these two echo chambers (left and right) are going to open the portal that ends it all? can we cancel the portal by calling it bad on twitter?
