I'll put a summary of the saige video here, at least as far as I got.
Overall: This stream is basically a glorified chat room for "poppy foundation" members where saige is the center of attention. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd only call this content creation in the most remote sense. Peak viewership was 30 people, but usually hovered in the mid to high teens.
Stream starts up with saige playing guitar and singing. I wouldn't call it badly played, but the song choice is a vibe killer if you're trying to get energy to the stream. Saige asks whether to play a second one and a chatter politely suggests saving it for later.
First 30 minutes are saige talking to chatters (notable names are anniegal, nightwylde and twisty). Saige does not have good conversational skills but neither do the chatters so I guess everybody's comfortable with that. You can feel this strained effort to make small talk. Highlight of the section is Saige showing off their own BPD rabbit that has a manufacturing mistake: instead of having a black heart and white heart for splitting, Saige's has two black hearts. Saige sees the same humor in this as I do.
After struggling to segue into something else for 15 minutes, we finally get to the first "disk horse" segment. (The chatters can not stop typing disk horse, I think these people would genuinely liked the humor in sonichu). Saige is heard saying "let's get into it" around 10 times before finally getting into politics:
Saige does a lot of LGBT navel gazing from here on out, so I'll give the highlight list:
- Mental Health Segment :Saige lost his shit at his mom once for not answering the phone for 10 minutes. She was in the shower. Saige seems bothered by doing this, but frames it as just a bad thing that happened because of BPD, the idea of self-control is just not here.
- Saige's take on kink at pride: "who cares"? Saige claims that the pride parades they've seen are tame. Worth rementioning here they Saige lives in Indiana.
- Should I bring my cis boyfriend to pride?: Saige ends up concluding this: "If we let cis boyfriends into pride, we could have cracked so many eggs"
- Bi vs Pan, is there a difference?: I wouldn't even mention this segment if it weren't for how angry Saige gets about it every few minutes. This is where you get the impression that Saige loathes discussing an experience that doesn't perfectly match his.
- Do Bi people have more privilege?: He concludes no while seething at the idea of an opposing viewpoint. I've never seen anger look so boring.
Saige wraps up politics and moves onto the what he really wants to discuss: allllll the surgery he's had. I'm not getting into this shit again.
Before I dipped, I caught his poly discussion: His take is similar to mental health: We represent this in an unrealistically positive light, we should show the negatives of it as well so we can better accept it [caveat: and not do anything about it. almost there bud].
Closing question from me: has Saige ever mentioned he was divorced before? That one was news to me.
