Don't worry, I'll make it worse from a GC perspective: if a woman wore that outfit, it'd look better and possibly even sexy as intended.
I'll try to steelman this highly problematic argument by suggesting that the reason women and gay men dominate fashion is because they aren't as distracted by the female form. Troons are overly obsessed so they are worse at it than the standard cishet male would be. In Choobs' case he specifically doesn't seem to grasp the concept of negative space. He wants to show something like his stomach and thighs but winds up showing his entire torso and legs.
I don't think I agree. Of course an attractive woman would look better in that outfit, but that's because she's an attractive woman, and an outfit that looks like shit in an objective sense is always going to be much more forgiving if the model is beautiful and has a nice figure.
Some women don't have good dress sense at all (though it's miles better than the average troon of course), but they'll still always pull it off better than a man will, unless the woman in question is a deathfat anyway.
If we take it for granted that women have better taste in clothes than men do on average, which I would say is true, then I guess the reason could either be neurological (and whatever part of the brain is at work here may also have something to do with taste in décor) or psychological (just because they've spent more time thinking about what looks good and what doesn't). I don't know what the answer is, but troons have male brains and their knowledge of women's clothing is shallow and based on their own sexual desires and not on general aesthetic principles, so either way they're lacking whatever it is that makes women better dressers.
Plus they tend to be socially maladjusted weirdos who don't have much real-world contact with actual women, and never cared at all about clothes before they transitioned. Plus they don't have female bodies. So taking all that together, it's no surprise you see so many tranwreck outfits on troons.
That outfit would look really cute on a teenage girl from 2003, who is now an adult woman embarrassed about her past choices. Like this:
If you're an adult wearing Demonia boots you need to be sent to a reeducation camp.
When it comes to fashion, I've always thought that female confomity drives the trends for both genders. Women dress to fit in with the cool crowd for social status, whereas men dress to demonstrate that they can move with the cool cats in hopes of getting of a sniff of the goods.
Since 90% of men are at the sexual mercy of 99% of the women, there's barely any points deduction for a woman with an orange spray tan, neck tattoo or crap pair of boots. For a non-Chad man though, those style points are needed to tip the increasingly long odds in his favour. If V-necked Bon Jovi t-shirts are in that year, you better make sure you have one or you might look like an out of touch weirdo.
On transmen, it seems like 80% of them just like wearing as little as possible. It's very difficult to think their motive isn't their own sexual enjoyment.
This dumb project puts me in mind of an old SNL skit where a couple (Kevin Nealon and Janeane Garofalo) are visiting Dracula (played, ironically, by John Travolta), and they keep assuming/insinuating that he’s gay and that Renfield - his servant - is his lover.
In an updated Oliver-skit the couple (some TERFs?) should be clocking him left, right and center, despite Oliver’s repeated denials.
My plans for this evening got cancelled so I've decided to torture myself once more by watching a PhilosophyTube video (albeit on 2x speed).
First off the bat Ollie's talking about a block of luxury flats that used to be the maternity hospital he was born in. He fails to mention it didn't close, but instead the maternity services transferred to the big modern hospital in Newcastle, because the pretty building was a Victorian orphanage that got retro-fitted into a hospital. Service consolidation helps the NHS run more efficiently than having lots of distributed little hospitals all over Newcastle, and those big Victorian buildings are expensive to maintain and keep to standard for clinical services (a lot of older Victorian buildings ended up getting used as offices by NHS trusts before being eventually sold off).
Part one is "Country Matters". Yes, Ollie, everyone knows that sexual innuendo from Shakespeare. He's dressed as a cowgirl. He talks about Steven Conn's "The Lies Of The Land" and explains despite the pastoral image of the countryside, it's both bad for nature (agricultural pollution, monoculture) and it's low density so inefficient for housing people. Also, big corporate farms exploit migrant workers. He then argues that places produce subjectivities - where you live shapes how you think and feel. An army town might create a sense of identity and encourage you to sign up to "serve your country" (and then he says "serving country" is his Grindr username). Because people in the military town often make up a lot of the military (country boys etc) they have conflicting subjectivities - i.e. Trump was popular in such towns because he criticised people sending kids off to war while not criticising the military and offering to expand to it. This is all you need to know to understand the rest of the video and even "the twist", he says.
The next section is about the suburbs, and this is where the NotJustBikes guy comes in. Car dependent suburbs have people that want many of the perks of rural living (space, less traffic etc) while still wanting urban amenities (good police coverage, paved streets etc). So it generates low tax revenue as it is not very dense, but has a high infrastructure cost. Meanwhile walkable urban neighbourhoods, even impoverished inner city ghettos, consistently subsidise suburbia. Cities in the US and Canada are trying to urbanise their money pit suburbs and provide alternatives to cars, but people in those suburban areas are shaped by the car centred subjectivity and so resist it. Cut back to Ollie, who's in Jesmond, a suburb of Newcastle. This is an area with good public transport links, so is suburban, but Ollie grew up further out of town in "suburbia". This was a very nice area that kept getting nicer and his parents told him he was lucky and should be kinder to the less fortunate, and therefore he started PhilosophyTube and that's how his area shaped his subjectivity (...that feels pretty tenuous). But he wonders how it would have been if he'd known fancy suburbs didn't exist alongside the less fortunate, but because of the less fortunate.
Then he goes to Forest Gate in Newham (London). He stresses he doesn't live there and isn't going to tell the internet where he lives. Then he brings up the book Terraformed by Joy White. Because it was an area in decline a lot of immigrants moved there, but there was also racism, and this helped create grime music. However Forest Gate is now getting gentrified, which Ollie says white people think about in economic terms but this is not the case, citing The City Authentic by David A Banks. Basically, you can't attract investment from industrialists, so instead you engage in "authenticity peddling" to sell your city's brand as trendy. However the cycle of gentrification means it ends up exactly like everywhere else as it becomes expensive and the only people who can afford it are upper-middle and the only businesses that can afford it are big chains. This process generates profit rather than benefitting anyone needs or wants it. Gentrifiers also engage in "slow racial violence" by focusing on e.g. the new shopping centre while erasing the unique cultures that are there, because that would involve acknowledging the inequalities that exist. Local government and police violence also deprive black people of being able to amass wealth to access the touted benefits of gentrification and instead force them out, making gentrifying their areas either... and thus gentrification creates "expanding pockets of whiteness".
This leads onto Times Square Red, Times Square Blue by Samuel Delaney, about the gentrification of Times Square. Ollie mentions there's a "swanky hotel" in Times Square where he hooked up with his ex one time, so that's the Contra shoutout for this video sorted. But Times Square used to be a working class area and middle class people would go there to party, which used to facilitate contact between people of different classes. Once it became a family friendly tourist destination, you needed money to engage with it and so it became a class segregated space. This creates subjectivities. Contact is a spontaneous interaction between strangers - for example, Ollie met "the hot guy who lives upstairs" who helped him move into his current flat, and now Ollie bakes him cookies. (Between this and Grindr is Ollie remembering he told everyone he was bisexual?). But making things more expensive turns things into networking, and if it costs money to hang out we become less likely to be open minded about hanging out, which creates cliques and snobbishness. This might be why Gen Z are having less sex - they live at home, dating costs too much, there's no third spaces they can easily go and they rely on digital communities instead - so this experience has created a subjectivity that has shaped their attitude towards sex. Also while an area might be "safer" for women when gentrified, it is not safer for the women who were forced to leave, especially sex workers, and therefore gentrification is also misogynistic and queerphobic. Gentrification inherently involves casting people out, but that makes us uncomfortable, so we lie to ourselves about it. Interclass contact prompts anxiety and this can be expressed in strange ways. Homeless people get dehumanised and concepts of danger and dirtiness are projected onto them, so that it's easier to justify using violence to move them on from an area to gentrify it. Ollie informs us this conversation about anxiety and projection is foreshadowing for the twist.
The twist is the 15 minute city conspiracy. People started protesting in Oxford about 15 minute cities, but they linked them to a bunch of completely unrelated conspiracy theories. Having done PhilosophyTube for so long, he realises some people don't want to be educated and instead want to be wilfully ignorant, because they are caught in phantasms. These are warped ways of looking at the world. Ollie first encountered the concept of phantasms in Judith Butler's new book. An example he gives is Médecins Sans Frontières tweeted that while working in Gaza, Israeli tanks targeted cars marked with their logo - and in response David Collier accused Médecins Sans Frontières of being in cahoots with Hamas and helping do the October 7th attacks. This is a demonstrably false claim. But the phantasm is "this tweet where Médecins Sans Frontières says bad things about Israel makes me feel like they support Hamas" which turns into "Médecins Sans Frontières supports Hamas" - "as if" becomes "as so". "15 minute cities make me feel as if the government is trying to control me" turns into "they are". "Trans women in women's toilets makes me feel as if I'm under attack" becames "I am". "Your feelings are reflected through the phantasm and projected out onto reality".
Basically, if you learn things that conflict with your subjectivity, it provokes anxiety, because it means you'll have to re-evaluate a lot of things you take for granted or care deeply about. If you can't avoid thinking about the thing causing you anxiety, then you may feel compelled to deploy a phantasm in order to hold contradictory beliefs. For example when planning a funeral you may think what the deceased would have wanted, which allows you to both view the deceased as gone but also as still with us. The phantasm allows you to disengage from rationality because it is the contradiction itself. This also gives the person a sense of power or control, which is why powerless people are often drawn to conspiracy theories. 15 minute cities allow politicians to use a phantasm to deal with the shitty state of development in the UK - the very policies they support are why there's such a crisis, but they can't allow themselves to acknowledge it, because they'd have an identity crisis. The solutions are "unthinkable".
Phantasms mean you're not honest with yourself about why certain ideas make you feel anxious or where these ideas come from. Essential 15 minute city conspiracies started in right wing think tanks funded by fossil fuel companies, pushing a myth of climate lockdown to turn people against green politics. The people who "powered" the phantasm added their own unrelated conspiracy theories but had fallen into a mental trap created by these think tanks. Their anxieties are around having their freedoms restricted - but migrants, asylum seekers and the homeless are actually having their freedoms restricted. This therefore means that phantasms justify otherwise unthinkable actions. Médecins Sans Frontières criticising Israel makes me feel like they support Hamas = Médecins Sans Frontières support Hamas = open fire on Médecins Sans Frontières. Trans people in bathrooms makes me feel threatened = trans people in bathrooms are a threat = exclude trans people from bathrooms. So phantasms can act as a tool of political recruitment. By catering to a range of anxieties using shill accounts, you can hook a wider range of people in... if you agree the city is being ruined by traffic calming measures, maybe you can be talked into agreeing that the city is being ruined by non-whites. "It's an Amazon recommendation algorithm for radicalisation".
Conclusions: (he's actually got a conclusions section now, since people criticise him for being so open ended). Looking at practical solutions requires you to live in practical reality. But how do you deal with people who are in a phantasm and refuse to learn? That's what the next episode is about. Also Dracula's Ex-Girlfriend blah blah blah Nebula blah blah blah Patreon (that's the whole last 10 minutes)
A bad faith summary of the urbanism section:
Living in the countryside is bad for the environment, relies on the exploitation of migrants and might make you support Trump
Living in suburbia is bad for the environment, relies on the exploitation of inner-city black people and might make you like cars.
Gentrification serves the needs of capital rather than the needs of people, and is racist, sexist and homophobic. Also, it makes you a snob who won't mix with people outside of your social class, and might turn you into a prude.
There's bits of stuff he's cited I agree with, but the whole thing about urbanism was a bait-and-switch to talk about phantasms, which is basically a fancy way of saying brainworms. I actually found the discussion of a phantasm and the mechanism behind it interesting, although not in the way Ollie probably was aiming for.
Basically, if you encounter views or information that might challenge deeply held beliefs about yourself or the world, this creates anxiety. If you're not able to process this and change those beliefs, you might try to not think about it, but if you're compelled to think about it you can't do that either. So instead the anxiety drives you into an emotional based reasoning system that disengages from reality and empowers you to assert things as true that make no sense whatsoever. You make stuff up with no evidence and may not even believe it, but it feels like it being true would validate how you're feeling, and therefore you come to believe it is true... even when it doesn't hold up to any logical scrutiny whatsoever. The fact it doesn't make sense empowers the belief, because thinking critically about it brings back that anxiety, and things that give you anxiety must be wrong... so therefore the belief must be correct.
Because this system of thought relies on irrationality, it can then spread to making you think other batshit illogical beliefs because they also reinforces your first belief, and you're not going to critically challenge these beliefs because critically challenging things relating to your first belief might provoke that anxiety. So for example
"I'm depressed and feel like I struggle to connect with people. I'm anxious that my life's not going anywhere" -> "I'm an egg! I'm not depressed about my life, I'm transgender. If I take hormones, everything will be better." -> "Now that I'm on hormones I'm literally a woman. Actually, I'm literally female because I've changed my sex. Also, those weird cramps I keep getting aren't a gastrointestinal disturbance from my HRT, it's because I'm literally having a period" -> "If my life's not any better, it's because of transphobia, not because my life's not going anywhere. Anyone who doesn't validate me is an evil TERF who's participating in trans genocide, spreading horrible myths like we groom children into taking bathtub HRT - that never happens, but if it did, it's based. Anyway these TERFs are literally murdering us all, but also we're on the winning side of history, so eat it chuds we're going to trans your kids."
It's all a displacement from that initial anxiety that self-reinforces from irrationality driven by emotional thinking, even if some of the beliefs seem to contradict themselves, and attempting to reason someone out of it results in them just being dismissive and spewing complete non-sequiturs because they're not interested in leaving their little irrational bubble. Of course, that's not Ollie's example (he's bringing it up in relation to Judith Butler's new book) but to me at least, it does seem like a puzzle piece falling into place. Next PhilosophyTube will be about how to educate people out of the phantasms they're trapped in, which will surely be really constructive and helpful and won't at all veer into some sort of Stalinist nightmare re-education camp for people who don't think Ollie's a beautiful princess.
It kind of explains why trans activists get really mad on twitter if you demonstrate to them that trans people experience a homicide rate several times lower than that of cis men, and especially black men. You'd think that good news would come as a relief, but it actually brings them anxiety. They claim that social rejection of their desired identity puts their physical safety at risk, because if misgendering didn't result in trans women getting killed then it would mean their anxiety over the wrong pronouns is entirely emotional and subjective. Which is bad, because it means it's something they can control, and they'd feel extra-depressed over their inability or unwillingness to do so.
It parallels with right-wingers who claim they only hate illegal immigrants because they put their safety at risk. But if you show them data proving that illegal aliens are statistically less likely to commit violent crimes compared to US citizens, they go apeshit and deny what should be a piece of good news.
The same thing happens when you point out that crime rates were 4x higher when they were a kid, it clashes with their emotional belief that the country is becoming a lawless hellhole and things were safer in past decades- back when they didn't follow social media accounts that specialize in posting daily crime footage clips taken by multiple smartphone angles

If anything, tranny murder rates are a testament to the dangers of prostitution because the majority of murdered troons are black TIM jigalows. Troons, however, refuse to admit this because it would question their porn-based identities. All troons, not just AGPs, have porn-based identities -- HSTSs ape what the absolute worst men find attractive, and pooners poon because they don't want to be a porn stereotype (especially if they're lesbian).
Great recap, @AssignedEva. (I don't know why I can't reply directly to you.) I zoomed thru chunks of it with captions on, muted, 2x speed but 4x would be better. I supposed I skipped a lot just to see what the new.fetish wear getups were.
From the very beginning, about that Maternity hospital:
"Ironic" in a stupid trite Alanis Morrissette sense I suppose. No, really: this guys pretends to pride himself on logic and the meanings of words- could he explain why this is "ironic" at all, in any way? Does he deserve a special discount on a luxury flat in a city he doesn't live in because he (and thousands of others) was born in that room? Really poor reasoning, but hey, he thinks he's a pretty princess actress and hot piece. Reasonableness is not in the picture.
Disgusting pedo graphic, hair & outfit that would have been cool at a Polyphonic Spree concert in 2005 (for a man. No woman in any era would go on camera with hair like that unless she was a heroin addict).

Not really anything else to say is there? Like this is a great point about the very concepts that Olly is trying to mobilize here to argue his corner of things. Its one of the reasons I've found the murder of Brianna Ghey so fascinating since its been elevated to sort of martyrdom for the trans cause even though we have tons of information from the case and there seems to be absolutely no evidence whatsoever that it was motivated by anti-trans prejudice rather than Brianna being horribly unlucky that a couple of teenage psychos targeted them and not someone else.
I'm not going to watch the video, but based off of your breakdown I doubt I'd disagree with Olly much on the broad strokes, but he doesn't seem all that interested in really digging deep about the political and economic factors at the heart of all of this and sort of seems like he detours into psychoanalytical bullshit he'll never apply to himself, which is fitting since Contra does the same thing. Also fuck this:
Also while an area might be "safer" for women when gentrified, it is not safer for the women who were forced to leave, especially sex workers, and therefore gentrification is also misogynistic and queerphobic
There's one thing I fucking hate its this sort of braindead pro-sex work rhetoric you get from his end of things, sex work is intrinsically bad for people (regardless of their gender or orientation), it shouldn't be supported and if Leftists gave a shit then they should be supporting policies that suppress it and help move people out of the industry into more stable, dignified and safer work, especially if it involves in-person prostitution as implied here. Instead we get this sort of mealy mouthed approach, where the actual concept of sex work in and of itself is treated as paramount and worth protecting and anything that works against it is evil, its completely ass backwards and leftists of decades past would be completely disgusted.
All the wank aside, and as someone who appreciates city living, this whole video just seems like Chube whinging that people who live outside the metropole are exposed to wrongthink, and that his favourite urban slumming grounds aren't preserved in squalor for his aesthetic edification. It's incredibly gross.
Also, that point about large farms exploiting migrant workers. I thought it was impossible to maintain first world living conditions without an endlessly expanding underclass of immigrants, and that's why we should replace the entire English working class with Pakastani guys whose family trees have converged into double-helixes?
This hypocrisy got noted on the r/destiny subredit. It's always so refreshing when people candidly about Olly in a space he doesn't have any editorial control over. | Archive
It's interesting that of all of his of the videos he's release, the one that attracted the most backlash from the 'normie' politico-reply -guy/ debate bro community was his monumentally stupid grandstanding on the housing market back before he trooned out. People still bring it up in this reddit thread.
Oh? what's this?
LOL
Also, I'm not sure if this post from r/redscarepod was discussed here (I've tried to search for it), but the comments really have to be seen to be believed. Honestly, it's as if a bunch of hyperintelligent extradimmensional semi-deific aliens turned on their universe simulator specifically to recreate this thread from a generative algorithm. | https://archive.md/cPITe
I'm enjoying this cross-thread cultural exchange initiative because someone from the Urbanism thread flagged something I don't think we ever bothered looking into.
Companies in the UK file public accounts. Ollie has his own production company for tax purposes, and also to make paying his stylist, makeup artist etc easier.
Fixed assets are probably things like his cameras. These deprecate every year until they're written off of accounts. Short term liabilities will be things like his wage bills or outstanding invoices, and there's no long term liabilities like a mortgage. He's the only director and this is a limited company so there's no shareholders. So in other words, right now, he's got about £550k ($700k) sat in the bank which is an increase of about £307k ($390k) from last year (and it was incorporated in 2021, so it seemingly accrued about £250k/$317k in that first year). He is only spending a fraction of the money that's going into his company's accounts and as a small company of 1 employee (Ollie himself) that has revenue below the threshold, there's no corporation tax liable.
If he dissolved the company, he'd either have to pay capital gains tax or income tax (I'm not 100% sure which) but either way he'd come out of this with about £300k in the kitty. Now I appreciate he "can't" dissolve the company for as long as he's producing YouTube videos, but he's spoken about how he wants to quit YouTube eventually and unless he's planning on running his own production company for his own projects (unlikely) this company is getting dissolved some day. So unless I'm misunderstanding something (I'm not a tax accountant so feel free to correct me on this) - although he can't buy that £600,000 flat in the old hospital outright, he could get a 50% mortgage on a really favourable rate (since it's low risk) and have a mortgage way lower than the rent on a place like that would be. I get it's not that straightforward since he'd still need a steady source of income and money for doing up the place but it's far from out of reach thanks to his Patreon (this also helpfully shows about how much it's costing him to make videos).
Most likely he's putting all the Patreon money into the company and then paying himself a small salary and then separately giving himself a chunk more money by paying some out as dividends (which are taxed at a lower rate). Paying himself dividends means he only would pay a marginal tax rate of 33% rather than 40% and he wouldn't have to pay National Insurance Contributions on it (another 12%, used to fund things like the NHS and the Welfare State) and his "company" wouldn't need to pay very much in employer national insurance contributions if he's only taking a tiny salary. So he's double dipping on avoiding tax on the Patreon and then transferring the money to himself without paying much income tax or contributing towards supporting the poor and needy in the UK. Not uncommon for the self employed, but rank hypocrisy.

but with the illegals it has been proven they're more likely to commit crimes if their initial entry into the country was criminal. a legal immigrant, hence, would be more likely to follow the laws of their new country because their initial interaction with it was a legal one
Excellent detective work! If I'm looking at this right, it seems he just puts all the Patreon money straight into this company's coffers. That way he can justify his claim that, technically, all the money he makes from Patreon goes straight to the production of other videos. He can then also claim he doesn't profit personally from Patreon.
However, he also has another source of income from YouTube. Some quick napkin math makes it pretty clear none of that money is invested into this company. I assume (like most YouTubers with more than a few 100k subscribers) he has some kind of accounting trick for that revenue stream too. It's hard to figure out how much YouTube actually pays these days though, but I reckon he can live very comfortably just on the YouTube money alone. Whatever 'small salary' he pays himself from the production company goes on top of that.
The brown blazer, contorted mouth positions and Olly-centric coverage of every subject are so Partridge-esque.
His narcissism levels mesmerize me. Any hatred I have for him is dwarfed by wonderment. He is a case-study I will never get bored of and I'm rooting for him to get that mainstream Z-list break. Olly in the jungle, Olly on ice, Olly analyzes Curly Watts' cock and balls on Celebrity Naked Attraction.
"Ironic" in a stupid trite Alanis Morrissette sense I suppose. No, really: this guys pretends to pride himself on logic and the meanings of words- could he explain why this is "ironic" at all, in any way?
It's also just a lie. This guy could get a mortgage on a £600k flat based on his Patreon and other income sources.
Edit:
Posted before I saw @AssignedEva more detailed breakdown. Good work! Olly likes to pretend he's a working class man of the people commie, but his income puts him well above the average in the UK.
So why lie? Well I guess, "I can afford to live in the room I was born" kind of sucks the wind out of the argument.
TIL I was born in the same hospital as Tube. That is the first thing, despite growing up the same notably small city, where you are pretty much a degree away from everyone, I have found in common with him whatsoever.
Silverspoon fuckwit.
Lol at Ollys reasoning about irony that he can't afford to live there for being born there. Like rain on your wedding day. Brb, going to demand a flat there, it's only fair. I'll tell all the others, we can get this straightened out.
That tax breakdown is staggering, and combined with the above mentioned... It's just really sick making tbh.
Think of all the other little Newcastle babies, like me and a lot of rougher babies than that. Lives departing from the very same place, and continuing to depart, as his stratospheric rise to well over half a mil in the bank, on the back of nothing other than mediocrity, smug, and going to the right school and having the weight parents to tell you the right sort of way to fiddle it, while still daring to lecture fucking anyone and indeed everyone, on what a good little socialist you are and how they need to Do Better.
