TGWTG Nostalgia Chick / Lindsay Ellis / TheDudette - aka Hotdogs in face girl

[Y2K Baby]

Dib has been confirmed to be

Filipino.

I think it goes a little deeper than that. On the whole she doesn't look very well put together there compared to the other girl. Look at the hair. She looks disheveled (and not the intentional kind of disheveled she sometimes employs, e.g.
View attachment 929099),
implying she isn't taking care of her appearance a lot lately. She probably cakes on the makeup whenever that is the case, and she is about to do a public appearance / video.

In all honesty, you can probably only pretend to be a disheveled slut so often before you start actually looking like one.

She looks dead inside. I mean look at her eyes. They're completely dead which is different from her earlier photos.

So on top of the wine bloating she also has a fast food addiction. Soon she'll be avoiding going on camera entirely.

Fierce and brave anarchist who openly insults capitalism on a social media giant shilling for fast food mega corporation, gets noticed by its socials and encouraged by fans to get a sponsor.
Thye future of politics really relies on Good Media Criticism™ .

The host and Lindsay talk about how they're both very important business owners and they constantly have to wrestle with terrible, terrible capitalism while maintaining their high levels of integrity. While talking about having to live with capitalism and pay rent, Lindsay refers to America as a "Hellscape" and compares her tolerance of capitalism to an anarchist having to submit a W-2. They bemoan not being able to do certain things lest they upset their progressive audiences while "angry reactionaries" on YouTube can do whatever they want. When the host says she knows YouTubers who refuse to do sponsorships because of their ethics, Lindsay points out that they tend to be women. Both of them rant about health care. Lindsay says she still owes $72,000 in student debt.

Dave Chappelle getting tsk-tsk'd by Lindsay immediately made me think of this.

Also, I haven't seen Chappelle's special but I wonder if he was brave enough to criticize "Captain Marvel" because Lindsay certainly wasn't. She hid from that topic for months because she hated that movie but knew she would catch shit from her audience for bashing it. It wouldn't have been so bad if she hadn't tweeted out pictures of herself pre-screening at the movie premiere and followed it up with radio silence on the topic. She would have been doing cartwheels on her Twitter for weeks had she even remotely liked it.

So...Lindsay really enjoyed the Invader Zim movie and has added the Professor Membrane character to her cartoon male masturbation list. Based on some of her tweets, she had requests for her to make videos about Rick & Morty and Invader Zim. She says she wouldn't do anything about Rick & Morty until it had been off the air for at least 10 years (afraid of the fanbase, likely) but then claims she doesn't have any interesting observations or strong feelings about it but the show is fine. Her reasoning for not doing an Invader Zim video is much more depressing. Basically, she can't figure out a way to tie it into a political/social take she has so...why do it? The days of Lindsay just doing a video on a television show she really liked without pushing an agenda are long gone.

But hey...she hated her time at Channel Awesome and is much happier now. Right?

I lost so many brain cells looking more into her past and my god she's even worse than a piece of cheese.

The last part of Chappelle's special was mocking white people, so they might have liked that part.

It was hilarious and I highly recommend it.

 

[Trig.Point]

I lost so many brain cells looking more into her past and my god she's even worse than a piece of cheese.

Interesting part of the video is where she says she gets more recognition from her PBS videos than her regular YouTube video,

Ellis is wrong about that, she wants to believe it because she despises YouTube as anyone can post there, where as with PBS, even though she had a fraction of her regular viewers she was working with a MSM source.

The best thing about Ellis, is that she kind of makes the case against herself, she uses terms like gatekeeper when she talks about YouTube.

Anyway she's her own worst enemy.

Only if it's the right kind of white people. Racist mid-westerners is okay. The valiant knights protecting sweet, innocent Negroes like David who don't know any better from becoming slaves under Trump (Which will totally happen tomorrow if they stop tweeting, guys) is a big no-no.

 

[Ten2Nine]

Apparently, Lindsay does want to become a parent at some point. I assumed if she got knocked up again, we'd just see the release of The A-Word II: Reloaded.

In something of a risky move, she has taken a stand in support of Jojo Rabbit prior to it's release. That stand may be short-lived though since some early reviewers found it offensive (Joker, too) and if her group doesn't like it, she's not allowed to like it. This may become an inverse of the Captain Marvel situation Lindsay faced earlier this year where she kept her mouth shut about how much she hated it to appease her group.

Lindsay doesn't understand the idea of "pushing boundaries" in comedy. Well, she MAY understand the idea of "pushing boundaries" in comedy but she can't risk revealing it publicly lest her group turn on her. She'll just keep pushing the narrative that "pushing boundaries" is just code for an alt-right, nazi, phony baloney schtick machine.

Lindsay's science-fiction book, AXIOM'S END, is due out next Summer. She did an interview with Newsweek talking about it. Here's the highlights of the article:

Axiom's End, due out in summer 2020 from St. Martin's Press, is an alternate history science fiction novel taking place during the George W. Bush administration. The novel, described as "Stranger Things meets Arrival", is an alien first-contact adventure, focuses on a woman who serves as the only point of contact between humans and an alien race.

The novel takes place in a world where the government has been hiding living aliens. Cora Sabino, the protagonist, has been trying to avoid the scandal, even though her estranged father is the whistleblower who revealed the aliens in the first place. Despite her unwillingness to be involved, one of the aliens, codenamed "Ampersand," finds her — with the sole goal of getting the information he needs, then disposing of her.

Speaking about Axiom's End, Ellis describes the book as combining high and low culture. That mix of the high and low is a recurring theme in her work, perhaps best exemplified by her "The Whole Plate" series, which uses Transformers to talk about various film studies concepts like auteur theory and the male gaze.
"A lot of [Axiom's End] is about communication and linguistics; it has very long discussions about the difference between phonemics and morphemics, but also, it's about aliens during the Bush administration," she said, laughing. "It was an interesting challenge to convince publishers that was something people would be interested in."

The topic of language is an important one for Ellis. Though she didn't major in it, she studied linguistics in college, and is even giving a talk in Las Vegas at the end of September about writing alien languages, especially in first-contact fiction.
"Sometimes, that will be all it's about, like Arrival, but other times it will be sidestepped entirely, because that's not what the story is about. Those stories tend to fundamentally be about communication and how we deal with the other," she said, "That's just something I think about a lot, and it's been really gratifying that I've been able to work with it as much as I have in the last few years."

Fans of Ellis' YouTube channel don't have to worry though — she's not hanging up the camera in favor of a pen. Her next video will be about Axiom's End — kind of. The video won't be about the novel itself, but rather the nuts and bolts of how a book gets published and how long it took for Axiom's End to see print.
However, she does admit that being published may change the tone of her channel. She expects to focus less on big name properties and Disney remakes and focus more on process.

"I used to do a lot more process-oriented [topics] — how structure works, character design, stuff like that — than I have been doing lately. It'll change the nature of the channel a little bit, because I'll probably be talking more from the point of view of a creator than an audience member," she said.

God, I hope Lindsay accidentally changes her brand to alien conspiracy. I'd love to see her co-host a UFO centered awards show with Dan Aykroyd.

Here's an idea. Quit acting like it's the end of the fucking world when someone tells a joke you don't like, period. If you have the luxury of worrying about jokes as opposed to where your next meal is coming from or if your head is going to end up on a pointy stick tomorrow, you're already more privileged than a majority of humans throughout history. And if you're able to put pressure on big entertainment platforms over getting offended by a joke, you're a hell of a lot less "marginalized" than you think you are.

 

[Azafran90]

The book's not even published and I already know it's going to be pretentious crap that's low-key based on Lindsay's life.
Look Lindsay, just because you're a drunk just like Stephen King and a linguist like Rowling doesn't mean you will become a millionaire too...

 

[Petronella]

Imagine releasing a "muh Dubya" book in fucking 2020.

 

[AlmightyMagichan]

Oh great, Lindsay can take her kid to "Drag Queen Story Time" and they can read her weird book about Bush capturing aliens.

 

[Doctor Placebo]

Even if she doesn't abort it, the fetal alcohol syndrome probably will interfere with the child's ability to take part in story time.

I mean, these are the people who like to say "Freeze Peach" to mock the idea of Free Speech.

Cora Sabino, the protagonist

I can't put my finger on exactly why but that name choice reeks of self-insert to me. Also, yeah, idk if I'd call her a linguist just for taking some classes/interest and then constructing a language for a book. Tolkien was an actual English/Linguistics Professor and creating the languages of Middle Earth was basically the fruit of his whole (81 year) life's work. Lindsay's in her mid thirties and complains about movies for a living.

If you have the luxury of worrying about jokes as opposed to where your next meal is coming from or if your head is going to end up on a pointy stick tomorrow, you're already more privileged than a majority of humans throughout history alive today.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

This came up in another thread, but it bears repeating here.

The similarities between the Religious Right fundamentals of the 90s and the PC lefty weirdos of #CurrentYear are so obvious and staggering that it hurts me.

I guess you really do die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Not exactly. Everyone forgets that after the Reagan/Bush Sr. Evangelicals got blown out, feminism also got annoying in the mid 90s. (I guess having to defend Clinton the Sex Offender because Democrat killed it off?)

Fast forward to Bush II, you've got another crop of Evangelicals who are annoying. They're less prominent but nonetheless annoying and trying to put Creationism into schools while the crazier among them are going off on how sinful Harry Potter and soccer moms going to Yoga class are. That finally gets laughed off and then SJWism rises up.

Moral of the story: there's always authoritarian assholes on either side trying to be the ones who set the rules. So don't get too attached to any of these people so you'll know who to laugh at when the time comes.

 

[NoReturn]

No offense but I don't think trusting someone that was once in CA is a good idea, you can take someone out of CA but you can't take CA's out of someone

I legit read this the first time though as: "No offense but I don't think trusting someone that was once in California is a good idea, you can take someone out of California but you can't take Californias out of someone."

I think it goes a little deeper than that. On the whole she doesn't look very well put together there compared to the other girl. Look at the hair. She looks disheveled (and not the intentional kind of disheveled she sometimes employs, e.g.

),
implying she isn't taking care of her appearance a lot lately. She probably cakes on the makeup whenever that is the case, and she is about to do a public appearance / video.

Question - In situations like this, is it better to be a woman who just never wears makeup to begin with (establishing it as part of your personal look and brand) or is it better to do what she's doing and bank on people not noticing?

A "geriatric pregnancy" is a medical term. Her being upset about it belies two things:
1. The fact that she's insecure about anything that implies being old
2. That she's so ignorant of biology that she doesn't even know that the concept of geriatric pregnancies is itself based on a fallacy about how human reproduction works.

Put another way: She would be right if she were mad at her therapist for being ignorant of anatomy, but instead she's hung up on the words being used.

If you're going for that high-class lifestyle of getting drunk on wine next to the piano, you better have some makeup on.
