Philosophy Tube / Oliver Lennard / Oliver "Olly" Thorn / Abigail Thorn - Breadtube's Patrick Bateman.

Turquoise said:
Who is Oliver's audience? All of his content, and leftytube in general, is presented as if the viewer is a kid or mentally handicapped. Everything is condescendingly slow and simplified, not to mention, usually bollocks. I don't believe that even an intellectually curious 14 year old would want to sit through a Tube video.

Are his audience just AGPs who are there for the rubber outfits?

It's for people who want to feel smart without going through the academic rigor of reading whole-ass books. "Expand your mind!" is the tagline. He pitches it as a way to get a philosophy degree, for free!

So, it appeals to people stupid enough to see philosophy as a subject marking of a high intellect person, but could never get a degree. Or, people who are at least smart enough to know to not waste money on a philisophy degree.

So instead or going through the boring rigor of reading, writing, and the horror of having your words graded and rejected, they can just watch a youtube video. Let it wash over you, have a chuckle, fall asleep to it, never be challenged, and have someone who sounds smart validate your leftist worldviews

But why not some other smart person subject, like math, or chemical engineering, or nuclear physics? Because they're called hard sciences for a reason. It's impossible to teach them without hurting the ego of those who slept through high school.

Whereas philosphy is wankery which can't be tested or proven.

y tho, y tho, y tho?
A non tubelet preference is FINE ig, but once it is identified as the ONLY reason you wouldn't date someone, surely that is tardphobic?
Not to mention, you don't *actually* know wether these people have had the reverse lobotomy surgery. You don't know and shouldn't guess what's in someone's frontal cortex.

I really don't think it's that deep, some people really do just find this shit interesting, and you have to admit Toob uses clickbait titles and thumbnails somewhat successfully. I don't think most people watching Toob unironically really believe it's making them smarter, or that watching a half naked man in heels pontificate about the law or death or whatever is the same as attending uni for multiple years for a degree.
The kind of person who uses YouTube as a substitute for a real education is going to be watching one of those smaller more formal channels like that one that ripped into Toob days before he announced trooning out. All the theatrics and set pieces and fetishwear makes it clear channels like Toob and Contra are sort of cheap and have more style than substance.

It's very odd how much Toob keeps over-egging how 'weird' the last video was. From a viewer's perspective, it was basically the same as any other video on the channel except Toob flubbed a few more lines.

He sounds like a drunk making up excuses for why he was acting so weird at his kids' school play. Sorry Olly, "I tried to make myself look ugly on purpose" will never work because everyone can clearly see that you don't need to try at all.

He's coping because the last video did underwhelming numbers (sub-600k views in 10 days) despite efforts to juice up interest (commentary channel thumbnail, US election hook during election season).

Usually by this point in the release cycle he's posted a "look how many views my latest video gained in however many days" tweet. Not this time. He must be seriously disappointed.

"amazing opportunities lined up for next year" include House of the Dragon S3 and…? I'm not sure if he's secured anything else. Beyond his hints about Manhunt, which may never come to fruition (though please it would be hilarious), he hasn't teased any new roles iirc. And you know he would if he had them.

The three reliable audiences online are children, manchildren, and troons.

I have my phone pretty dark as standard so I didn't see his top as being see-through.
It is because any women stuff he buys is pushed to its elastic limit on each and every thread.
It's probably not the actual design of the top to be like that.
This is no one's fault but God's.
For blessing ColOllysous with his gargantuan man bod, amen.

AFAIK it's a spinoff of an audio drama that's already out (The Sojourn). Get ready for some more BG3 tier voice "acting".

His name is right at the top left making him seem like a big deal to it.



Maybe even he knows he sucked on the delivery for this one so it's even more especially bad than usual. Could be pretty funny if so.

Manhunt is unfilmable. There's no other way to put it lol. If they shave the story contents down to a filmable state, tranny purists will burn the studio down and MeToo a Wachowski brother over the ~unacceptable changes to the canon~, because God forbid they capitulate to appease a wider market, hell no. If they film the amount of women being raped and murdered that the story actually includes, it will be unpublishable by any studio. Like most trans project it's more useful for the cause dead than alive: it's going to development hell so trans activists can QQ over how the greatest pieces of trans literature were snubbed by evil Big Hollywood.
