Yes literally.

Also the "freak show barker" costume is amazing.

Weird to say this but I'm glad she's moving away from trans issues because she's got some terrible takes on gender

I mean this video involved trans issues, and she's already getting shit over it. But judging by her behavior over the last few videos she's come around on her shitty nb takes (which imo weren't even horrible, but I am cis so I wouldn't be offended)

Then I just don't even know anymore.

Her "shitty takes" are overexaggerations by people who are addicted to being victims. She's one of the most thoughtful people on the internet and actually researches and discusses her own opinions on the subject matter as opposed to someone like Joe Rogan who just invites a guest on their show and agrees with everything they say.

If you want a transwoman with actual shitty takes, go watch Blair White.

Depends on your definition of sjw. I actually recommend you check some of her videos out.

I don't think it's healthy to hold her as a perfect being. She's fallible, she admitted it and made steps towards bettering herself. Doesn't mean some of her past behaviors were harmless, the nb community was hurt by her statements and she was problematic with emphasizing appearance and gender-conforming performance.

She's not infallible. And a few people in the nb community being hurt or upset at her decision to partner with Buck Angel (note: not any of her statements, just being friendly with this one guy) is not representative of the community as a whole, especially when she's spent a lot of time promoting nb ideology.

I watched a few of her videos, and they seem to lack a thesis, or even a general point. I can get the exact same experience reading other people arguing on GameFAQs, and finish in half the time. >_>

Her videos are just rambling with a bit of a costume / makeup burlesque show to go along with it. They're interesting and informative and it's up to you to decide for yourself whether you agree with her opinions in the video.

I'm gonna be honest, I sat through all twenty minutes of one of her trans videos, and wasn't exposed to a single idea or argument that I hadn't already heard from the internet at least a hundred times before. >_>

Her production values are good, but they only seem to be "informative" if you're completely new to the internet. <_<

I don't really get the appeal of this channel. The videos are really long and generally aren't really well focused. Idk, just not my thing I guess.
