Fuck me Lindsay, a almost 2 hours video about you canceling, and you had the nerve to walk back the smacking you gave Movie Robert, see, this is why we can't have nice things.
I'm not gonna watch, fuck it, I've read her book (listened), I'm good for Lindsay Ellis for the rest of my life.
But I have a question for the Brave Souls who did, Does Ellis actually adress why she got "canceled", or she tries to "Pseudo-intellectualism" the "internet cancel phenomenon" and downplay what she has done and said by analysing it as one of the shitty video essays "look at me, i'm smart" she does? Also, in a insufferable self-satisfied smug attitude?
Because Lindsay, if you are reading this, that ain't the reason why you got shit on your face now. Anyone with half a brain can tell what happened, and sure as fuck it wasn't a snarky tweet about a boring ass Disney flick.
The awnser is simple: PEOPLE DON'T LIKE LINDSASY ELLIS.
How fast and vicious the knives came out for this woman pretty much tells the story, people were waiting to kick her white ass, and Lindsay gave the excuse they wanted.
And Lindsay's true tradgedy is, that in a way she can't help it. Ellis has something people call "anti-charisma", something about her make people unconfortable, upset or even slightly hostile against her. We can observe that in a lot of public figures, like Zuckerberg, Ben Afleck or Bire Larson, even if you knew nothing about these people, there is an impression that causes a repulse against these people.
Oh sure, you can point out Lindsay's lame intellectual posh attitude, and other things from her character, but from the very start she had something about her people just didn't like.
She got popular alright, and her video essays hit that sweet spot of making dumb people think they are smarter by watching her, and like it or not, she is good at hitting that audience. I'll give it this to Ellis, she has ambition and goes after it.
But Lindsay Ellis, youtuber personality? yeah, Pewdiepie she ain't, and the more she exposed herself, the less people liked, and it was only a matter of time.
My random internet asshole advice? Keep youself out of social media Ellis, do you patreon videos, and get your books or whatver, but don't be so much in the public eye. Find a small group of friends you can be true with and forget about this fame you want so bad, you have a good life, more than most have, more than most think you deserve.
Also, for god's sake woman, tone down on the face cake, your skin needs to breath or it's gonna necrosis damn it!
