If even a feminist like lindsay can't defend disney, no one can.

That's where you're wrong, kiddo.

want black royalty

I mean, the Moors existed but I'm pretty sure no one wants to make a Disney film about that period in European history.

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

China, actually.

Seriously. I don't think I've ever seen an adaption of Aladdin get that right.

That's kind of an irrelevant detail, though. The story itself is from the 1001 Nights, but beyond the story-within-the-story being notionally set in China, there's nothing really Chinese about it; it's all djinns and slaves and viziers and so on. To actually set it in China, you'd actually need to do some substantial rewriting to make it resemble something from Chinese history/mythology- which would be interesting by itself, but a substantial departure from the source material.

Not saying this would happen, but how do you think a collaboration between Lindsay and Moviebob would go? Do you think they’d try to out woke each other?

Considering Bob's a "feminist" in the very loosest sense of the term, I'd say Bob would find a way to fuck up. Then again, it wouldn't be any different than his current MO.

Bob would say something exceptional that would make Lindsay uncomfortable, because alky wreck she may be but Lindsay understands the importance of optics. She would walk whatever he said back passive aggressively and he would immediately back down. Repeat ad-nauseam until she ends things because it's getting way too awkward. Such is the lot of the autistic male feminist whenever he actually gets to have a real life discussion with a female feminist.

 

[A Grey Cat]

You know I can't believe I used to kinda like her content as the N chick and I never imagined she'd be this much a train wreck but goddamn, tbh the writing was on the wall YEARS ago. she admitted to liking the overly pretensious molloun rouge while hating Little mermaid because "mah femminism" thought she was subtle about it back then, then the biggest red flag was her ham beast of a bff she met in college Nella who probably went down on her a few times given how she flat out made out with Mara Wilson when they talked about pretty much every food under our "Autistic foods" thread.

Tldr; Lindsey's life has been coming apart at the seams ever since she left the mountains for college and it's only gotten worse as time goes on.

I think at this point, Lindsay is aware that Bob is more of a hindrance than a benefit. Eight years ago, before everyone realised how insane he was? She would be all for that.

Though if they were on a podcast or stream together? Bob would try to out-woke Lindsay, say something stupid, and then be forced to backtrack when she calls him out. Depending on what it is he says though, he might try to defend himself and dig a hole he cannot get out of.

 

[BScCollateral]

[Aladdin] itself is from the 1001 Nights...

Not really. It's not in the original Arabic collections; it was added to the first version translated to French.

 

[Trig.Point]

then the biggest red flag was her ham beast of a bff she met in college Nella

I think that everything changed for Lindsay when Nella latched onto her.

Nella seems to be one of those people that having as a friend would serve to limit your social circle. I'm sure she's great at providing reassurance, coddling and giving lifts to the abortion clinic, but I think she's a bit more strident in her views that Ellis.

Well, Lindsay met Nella and Elisa online to talk Phantom of The Opera and bash fanfics for their shitty OCs, so it's not like Lindsay was that much of a social butterfly to begin with.

 

[Water-T]

There's a show called Red Dwarf (think a funny British Star Trek) where the main characters are two white guys and two black guys. In the DVD commentaries they sometimes point out that the lighting was hard to get right, and if two characters were in the same shot one a white guy might look like he's illuminated while the black guy looks fine, or the white guy might look fine while the black guy is lost in shadows. It would depend on who had the important or funny line for that bit. They weren't bitching about it, it was more of an "oh look, lol" type thing, and then they explained it was tricky to get right on a multi-camera sitcom.

I'm quite familiar with Red Dwarf, you smeghead. Now leave me alone so I can finish my vindaloo.

I'm honestly amazed she hasn't tried to retoo the Walker brothers or that guy who played mati way back when, the former are rumored to have casting couched her but the later was her "poc boyfriend" who bragged about having done her for years until he left the studio.

Nah, they already learned their lesson. Linkara made sure of that.

No shit? I missed all of that.

It says it on page one of her subform

Unsurprisingly, I thought they were an item for the longest time. The way Nella seems to constantly be at her side even to the point of accompanying her during her dozens of Disney park trips, that just screams woke lesbian couple shit.

Not like anyone else is gonna wanna go near that alcohol soaked, saggy snatch of Lindsey's

The thing is, some of her old Nchick content has a sense of fun and self-awareness, like in her She-Ra review where she pokes fun at it (and herself) for being an obvious distaff knockoff of the more popular male original, and then proceeds to make gay jokes about the show. That wasn't the only time that she expressed sentiments that in [the current year] would send her the way of the fat, alcoholic dodo if she ever owned them in public. Now she's trapped in the bubble she built for herself, sustained by the SJW parasite network and as a direct result utterly beholden to it: she has to be the box wine Mrs. Grundy at all times, lest she lose her place at the trough.

Hell really is something you do to yourself.

And a lot of those videos, gone. It's pretty sad if you ask me.

 

[Ten2Nine]

There's several moments in this video of Lindsay saying things about others that she really should be saying into a mirror. Here's a quote from Lindsay:

"And that's one of the more frustrating things in this era of pop criticism where we look back on media history and be like 'thing bad' and people can look on history with this smugness of hindsight and say, "You know that thing you liked as a kid? Well, it had problems". It was problematic. Did I blow your mind yet? It's like...ok. You've taken step one, you've identified the problem. What do you want to do with that?"

Lindsay has made it very well known at this point how much she looks down on Doug Walker's style of critique but they're more alike than she'd ever admit. Doug is a gratingly bad emulation of a wacky cartoon character while she's some hillbilly possum desperately trying to pass herself off as a sophisticated dolphin but they both come at material to review with similar smug condescension and delusional superiority. This thought goes through my head often while watching either of them criticize something:

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU WANT THEM TO DO?"

Now obviously it's a bad idea to offer your own suggestions on the level of a cringe Chris Stuckmann script rewrite but if you're going to point out the many ways something doesn't work correctly then you should at least give some thought to potential fixes because that boosters your opinion to others that something is wrong in the first place. However, what it also does is put your potential suggestions out there for other's criticism, thus risking your superiority over what you're reviewing. One of my favorite audio commentaries put out by Red Letter Media is their one for Jingle All the Way. They crack plenty of jokes at the film's expense but all 3 guys seem to recognize that the basic premise of it had some potential and break down what they felt didn't work along with ways it potentially could have.

Lindsay wags her finger at Disney for not addressing the black stereotype crows from the animated original within the Dumbo remake. She seemingly implies they could have incorporated it somehow and came off looking well. Lindsay thinks Disney should do full on mea culpas within their live-action remakes for racial stereotypes in the animated films. Somehow I doubt any amount of self-flagellation Disney could do would be enough to sate her.

If Disney incorporated the crows in any way (stereotypical or not) they would have had a shitstorm on their hands. People are fully aware of that aspect of the original so any decision you make on it will be noticed but leaving them out completely was their best bet. How should they have used them, Lindsay? Uh....Lindsay? Oh, I also forgot that to not include them is like erasing history because the animated Dumbo film certainly isn't available on DVD, Blu-Ray, digital and streaming right now, in tact.

Speaking of race, Lindsay thinks Disney has a duty to spotlight systemic racism in their animated films and portraying it as "a few bad apples" in movies such as "The Princess and the Frog" was irresponsible on their part. Once again...how do they do that, Lindsay? Unless that's the focus of their multi-million dollar animated film (you'd invest your own money into that, right Lindsay?), it's going to be pretty difficult to incorporate it into a story in a way that isn't just forced and confusing for an audience.

She was also perturbed that "Mary Poppins Returns" portrayed the bank as "good and moral and on the side of the middle class" since they apparently allowed the family in the movie to keep the house they were going to repossess. She complains about this while playing a clip of Dick Van Dyke dancing on a desk. You know...serious business. I hadn't seen the movie and was skeptical the bank just let them keep their house out of the goodness of their hearts. Turns out money deposited in the first movie earned enough interest to save the house. Maybe Dick Van Dyke would dance on his desk for you, Lindsay, if you cut back on your drinking and used that money to pay off those student loans you bitch about every chance you get.

I will say this of her though. She is mild in the ridiculousness of her shoehorning of politics into her videos by comparison to some other YouTube channels. I recently took a look at another former CA alum, Renegade Cut, and he is a real piece of work.

Using the Frank Grimes episode of "The Simpsons" for a boring monotone lecture on politics and capitalism is eye rolling enough but it goes on to briefly rope in "Married...With Children" as well.
