Should I know or care who this person is, or what her opinion of a cartoon is?

Yes. She's a pretty cool dude. More mature and thoughtful "video essays" than most people.

I feel like this whole "controversy" is because people don't understand her sarcasm. And are also just stupid and always looking for a fight.

It was a poor choice of words to be sure, but I think the energys best saved for people who actually *are* saying racist shit.
Apologist. If this weren't someone you cared about you be all for cancelling them.

She's made the same jokes on her Twitter before, I don't see why this one is so different.

Oh don't forget about her old "rape rap" video she's attempted to scrub from the internet. If Twitter found that they'd fucking crucify her

She is not doubling down calling people who said something about it crazies. However while looking at those tweets I ran across this one. If that don't get her canceled nothing will.

Who CARES? I hate that people get so upset about what people obviously didn't mean. Can we stop caring so much about ways that things can POSSIBLY be read wrong when we know it isn't what they were saying????

Lindsay Ellis is someone I've been a huge fan of. That said, I think quarantine has broken her brain or something because she's definitely been acting a lot weirder overall lately, especially on Twitter. And with THAT said, I don't actually think she did anything wrong here lmao. I've heard dozens of people compare it to Avatar. My wife and I said the same thing. It's really not a big deal.

I like Lindsay Ellis a lot and so far as recent behavior goes, I think she's just been a LOT more condescending lately. I wouldn't say she's been all that weird. Then again, what the hell do I know?
Maybe that's more the word I was looking for.

Does she in an overall sense criticize or praise the Percy Jackson series? Its my favorite book series of all time so Ill steer clear if its criticize, even if its justified criticism, I just dont want to ruin the nostalgia and charm of the series that I still have for it
*shrug* If she's made content about it I've not seen it.

Even if cancel culture was real, this isn't what it means. TC is pulling at strings to try to make a "oh no cancel culture" topic.

@mech_dragon

Honestly, how do you say to yourself that cancel culture isn't real?

This is like some anti vaxxer type of opinion to have.

Would anyone that has actually seen both disagree? From the start of that movie I was thinking "this feels a bit like Avatar the Last Airbender". There are a lot of similarities beyond just "western animation studio makes Asian inspired film/series".

Its not like she said "This is just like Kung Fu Panda!"

And to answer the question of "why are people going after her and not Doug Walker or Honest Trailers" it's because people don't expect as much from those guys.

Sounds like it's because it is bullshit and you have to be a garbage tier human to go after any of them.

Cancel culture is a virtue signalling term that people throw around whenever someone gets criticized. Who has actually lost their platform or status from being cancelled? No one. They were all just held accountable, fired from their job and/or at the very least lost followers on social media. If you think you got cancelled because you got fired from your job, youre delusional and telling yourself lies to feel better about your situation. If a company claims that theyre the victim of cancel culture (lol) theyre actually just being over dramatic and theyre just being boycotted, which people have done for ages. Did Lindsay Ellis lose her platform here? No, shes still making videos and people will still watch them. Dont be dramatic. This isnt like anti vaccination at all.

This is a dumb thing to be mad at her over and I would be on her side.

but it's 100% a pussy move to be a professional critic talking shit about things for YEARS

But then run away and close your account the moment you get criticized for things you've done and said.

That's embarrasing.

I mean, think of ones mental sanity after being bombarded by hundreds of DMs and notifications from users all reiterating the same point as if she could not learn it from the few already clear and precise tweets that she has already read. I mean, if I kept getting calls every second to my phone from people calling me out for some admittedly ignorant post I made, Id turn my phone to airplane mode.
The difference is you're not a professional critic who has been talking shit about others for over a decade.

It's kinda hypocritical to dish it out but not take it

She's taken criticism just fine. This is a twitter mob being insane. It's probably the last straw in "welp twitter is clearly bad for my mental health."

I worded that post weird. Her choosing to close her account I get.
I'm more referring to the people going after her so aggressively over this, that it pushed her into closing her account in the first place.
