Olly somehow landed another role:

Seems like he found a car repair shop to film in for his upcoming video. Can't wait to see another one of his AGP fantasies come to life:

Every single photo of him looks the same. Same Myspace angle and same bizarre photoshop on the cheekbone area. I will never understand why he does that to the side of his face, it looks uncanny.

Spoiler: Makeup Advice For Abi ❤️

Olly if you're trying to go for Tilda Swinton cheekbones you should just use a light contour instead of doing shitty photoshop. Contour and highlight would look a bit better and you can even use it to make your other facial features look more feminine, or more like Contra if that's what you're going for. If you want to look like Contra it'll be a bit hard since his chin is beyond botched, but if you experiment enough with contour and highlight you can make your chin look smaller like his. You can also use contour on the sides of your nose to slim it down the way Contra does. Also I think you need to use false eyelashes or an eyelash curler if you aren't already. Absolutely do not overdo any of these things or you will look like a drag queen.

He's clearly going for that classic The Scream-look. It's alluding to the existential dread trans people suffer from by being forced to live in the UK - without free access to publicly funded cosmetic surgeries.

Here's some good ones which are relavent.

The Republic is very accesable as is Meditations, Nietze and kant are a nightmare in english. obviously we've never spoken irl so I don't know were you'd be comfortable at. You might want to start with some basic summeries so you've got something to build on rather than going into stuff blind. avoid ayn rand and watch out for deductive errors like philosophytubes work.

EDIT- don't put antiquety philosophers on a pedastall whatever you do.

The republic and meditations was where i was going to start anyway. Cheers for some links

"I don't think I could whidstand actual valid criticism so I'm going to frame it as disingenuous to have an easy out. I'm probably going to moan about how they didn't invite any transwoman to their panel after that, cause I'm not above that."

Philosophy Tube

the panel they invited me to be on: the response I sent them: do you think I was born yesterday lmao?

That would be an excellant opertunity for Ollie to come out swinging, then again Ollie's a fucking sped and shouldnt be trusted to defend causes.

The artwork for his podcast always confused me, is the one on the left supposed to be him? It doesn't resemble him in the slightest, whereas his other two cohosts are at least recognizable.

I swear Blanchard needs to update his qualifying behaviors which signify Autogynophilia in the 21st century to include the phenomenon that suspected AGPs will "gravitate towards unrealistic and inaccurate animations as literal representations of themselves."

Here's the email snippets in case the screenshot above is too hard to read:


"Is totally disconnected from reality" says the man in a dress that claims he knows what it's like to 'feel like a woman' and that he was 'born in the wrong body' because he gets a boner when he puts on makeup. A panel discussing the silencing of women that are speaking up about sex-based rights is, according to Olly, 'fundamentally at odds with the goal of ensuring equal rights for transgender people'. Not even trying to hide how 'trans rights activism' doesn't believe in debate or free speech, but instead in silencing women who speak up about the misogyny and homophobia in the trans movement. Trans activism is fundamentally at odds with sex-based rights for women.


Yet again a 6'1" man claims radical feminists (women) are incredibly violent, by likening women to sharks, despite the fact that trans individuals are the safest minority. Women, gay people, and even 'cis' men all have higher murder rates than trans individuals.

New FBI Statistics Show Increase in Reported Hate Crimes

The FBI released hate crime statistics for 2017 revealing a disturbing increase of 17 percent in reported hate crimes from the previous year.

Is this using the FBI's hate crime reports? Those explicitly advise not to make year-to-year comparisons because they get their information from different sources each year.

That screenshot is from the HCR article I linked above, which is a bit fear-mongering. It does use the FBI's hate crime reports so it's only a comparison of reported hate crimes rather than an increase or decrease in overall hate crimes.

What is it with that artwork? It looks like the Cinema Snob from like 2010 or something

I want to know and learn more about philosophy, but more the ancient ones as opposed to these welfare philosophers (who use mental gymnastics to defend their leechery). I havent seen a good philosophy youtuber yet. Shouldn't surprise anyone since there are few channels who do it for education or altruistic reasons as opposed to clicks

I "online audited" this course last summer and learned a lot from it:

Missouri State University Intro to Philosophy

The professor is sort of cheesy and it gets a little repetitive but it seemed like a good overview of philosophers from Aristotle to Descartes to Kant to Locke and some more modern ones. 31 lectures ranging from 25-50 minutes. It also made me roll my eyes a bit at Olly's "I'm giving away my education for free!" when actual college courses exist on YouTube etc for free and you can do interactive ones for cheap on places like Coursera.

(i know you said you wanted more of the OGs, but just cos a reply mentioned Nietzsche being a nightmare in english- I wanted to say he's not at all! his books are pretty hilarious in fact, and genuinely entertaining reads. Kant can fucking suck one, though. Painfully crap. )

More hamfisted humble brags from Olly. It’s uncanny how he inserts his pet narcissist subjects into any and all conversations. It blows my mind that the people he’s talking to don’t reply with snark or call him out on it. Guess that would be transphobic.

Then again in this instance I think it was battle of the narcissists.

Also perhaps a clever way to explain away his lack of progress transitioning.

> I know I'm hot but I should be hot with a huge rack.

This is how men think women talk.

I take it mia never considered that not all women have big tits or are even particulary attractive?

Mia hon, it's fine. Nobody cares about your rack, really. Safe your money.

This might already have been discussed. But how much more work is Ollie getting? With the added patreon, exposer, and increase in acting roles, this must have been the greatest career move that Ollie could ever have made. The next will be in two years when detrans become so big he can ride on that wave.

You think he'll detrans? Could be a possibility doesn't look like he's gone to the same efforts contra has. If he detrans, at this point what could he revert without permanent damage?
