For those of you who don't want to watch Zack's video:
He starts by talking about how he's getting his books shipped. "The greatest part of crowdfunding is getting the books out there." (Gee, Zack, if that's the greatest part of crowdfunding, how come you dragged your feet on it for years and only started fulfilling after until everybody started calling you out for being late?)
He emphasizes that he has a veteran-owned business.
He tells us that he knew that criticizing the Birthday Party Clowns would be a big sacrifice for him. He knew he would lose subscribers and customers. But he does it, because... it is the right thing to do.
So, Zack is going to tell us about how the BPC construct their narratives. They all wait a week to review something, because they are audience captured, and they have to see what the consensus is first. But then he says that the BPC have lately made a big push to review things within 24 hours and offers no explanation as to how that fact contradicts the first thing he said. (But logic is not Zack's strong suit.)
Star Wars Theory's great sin is that he "misconstrued" one statement at the end of a long article.
Time for more Zack tangents. He talks about bullies in his high school that would laugh at him for everything he did. The BPC are just bullies like his high school bullies. All they care about is hate for money. The implication is that Zack on his white horse does what he does for on the most noble of motives.
That's about it.
I decided to watch the Star Wars Theory video to see how awful and terrible it truly was. Big surprise, it wasn't as bad as Zack makes it out to be.
The guy starts out saying that actresses like Daisy Ridley are just puppets of the people above them, and he gives people like her a break, because they're just doing their job.
The puppet masters in the studios are the people who we should be mad at. And it's the media that perpetuate the talking points that the fans are sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. terrible people.
The video pretty much rehashes all the fan criticisms of Disney Star Wars and why it's been so terrible. SWT seems frustrated, but it's not surprising seeing as he's a guy who is all-in on Star Wars and Star Wars keeps being repeatedly crashed into the ground.
So, what STW is really guilty of is being a Negative Nelly. You're not allowed to criticize Hollywood, because Zack thinks Hollywood is so much better now.
The irony of Zack's video is that he says the BPCs misconstrue things and blow them out of proportion for their own narratives while Zack takes a video put out by SWT, misconstrues what he says, blows the things he says out of proportion all in service of Zack's own narrative about who the BPCs are and why he his heroically creating hate videos about them.
