Youtube: You like film criticism and politics! How about this feminist reading of a movie you like?
Me: Cool, thanks.
Youtube: How about this cat slapping a seal?

Youtube: How about feminism is cancer and fetishization is empowerment actually?

Youtube: Cats?

Youtube has a lot to answer for in terms of radicalization. I thought they were working on the algorithm, but every fucking video lately has been referring me to extreme right wing propoganda. Wtf.

After the alt-right "feminism is cancer" shit ("the secret feminists don& #39;t want you to know!!!!", etc) it recommended I watch a video on how Sucker Punch is a feminist masterpiece bc...

It has several women in it.

The bar is so low.

I also hate finding out a YouTuber I& #39;m enjoying is secretly a TERF or a misogynist, but I& #39;m not blaming the algorithm for that if they& #39;re good at keeping it on the DL.

By the by, if you know a historical weaponry YouTuber who doesn& #39;t suck, lmk. I& #39;ve been burned there a lot.
