Read on Twitter
I have a lot I need to get off my chest, I think its important, at least, it& #39;s important to me. When I first became Alex the Historian in 2016, I recognized immediately that I could finally be my good old fashioned self. When I worked at Disneyland I wasn& #39;t allowed to show (1/7)
(2/7) much personality, because I was working, I had to be happy all the time, even when the company would screw me over. And you know, fair enough, I always kept a professional attitude despite what was happening. Because I believed in creating happiness, I still do
(3/7) but once I got on YouTube I felt I could create my own kind of happiness, a happiness that was still grounded in the realities of a media conglomerate. My channel shares history, and fun facts, but also not-so-nice things about Disney
(4/7) I talk about the ugly stuff as well BECAUSE I feel like there are too many YouTubers who pretend Disney can do no wrong. They pretend to love everything. And that misrepresents the truth. As an amateur historian I tell the truth as I see it
(5/7) And when I created a twitter account, I also vowed to be myself. I love Disney, but I also know not to take it too seriously. It& #39;s ok to laugh at yourself, that& #39;s healthy. What isn& #39;t healthy is telling me I can& #39;t express my opinions about Disney and crack harmless jokes.
(6/7) I& #39;m a person, not a robot. If you don& #39;t like my opinions or jokes about the company, fine, I respect that. But don& #39;t tell me how to be Alex the Historian. People try every day to tell me how to run my channel or twitter. Don& #39;t get me wrong,
(7/7) I appreciate everyone who enjoys my work, it makes me happy that I can make people happy or nostalgic. But what makes my channel the way it is, is my personality. Without it, my channel is just another video essay channel.
