Dominic Noble / The Dom / Lost in Adaptation

[Yeshuash]

The guy is one meltdown away from becoming a prime lolcow.

He is a completely brainwashed lefty LGBTQ+PPDBWhatever ally that will pander to whatever the rainbow mafia demands of him.
He just does not have that much internet presence outside his own niche audience to make as big of a splash to get the attention.

Also:

Just look at his T-Shirt

He looks like he would break in two if you even poke him in the chest.

He's got the kind of views that lend themselves to lolcowdom, but he doesn't sperg out about them. His occasional snide jabs at JK Rowling never go beyond the sort of thing you'd see from your average Redditor.

Just watched this, and I gotta give the man credit... he talked me out of having any interest in Wicked (while making me want to read the original Oz books, of which I've only read the first two).

What gets me is by the sound of it, Wicked is basically the archtypical woke reinvention of a classic property, while also doing the Matpat thing of "the villain was actually good the whole time and the assumed heroes are actually bad." And yet Dom found it thoroughly unpleasant. And indeed one of his complaints is that Maguire's Oz is basically Oz in name only.

I may be getting back into Dominic as I feel his content has improved. Also props to the guy for actually mentioning the infamous moment from the book version of Stephen King's It.... with how Dom always came off before I thought he would try to avoid discussing it.

I think regardless of political affiliation we can come together and agree on that scene being really fucking gross.

This "man" is a favorite personal lolcow of mine, to me he forms a duo with James Tullos - both are amusingly bad lefty booktubers too obscure for a live thread due to a slow upload schedule. Dom is especially mockable for the black paint peeling off his masculine nails (just why?), but his dyslexia is kinda excusable.*

Dom also reviewed all of Baum's original Oz books on Nebula. Watching a modern lefty scratch his head at Edwardian esoteric allegory is my idea of a good show (I wonder if he'll even mention the Masonic ties), so if any Kiwi knows how to watch them for free I'd be very grateful.

*I've noticed white boys in particular are prone to dyslexia, even those who like reading. Maybe it's genetic? That would partly explain why the northwest European languages are spelled like that.
