The stories we tell shape the world we live in. From Hollywood blockbusters to right-wing grifters, white supremacy recycles the same myths to stay in control. My latest video breaks down how—and it’s live now on YouTube <3 youtu.be/FJWecaagUg8 - ThreadSky

Great video, but I’m noticing something on the technical side… it looks like your videos (other trans creators too) are getting more ads than cis ones. Is this just me?

Imma hafta to listen to this at work tonight. Long form vids save my soul in the graveyard shift.

We need to fight both Gary the Methhead and the Aloholic Asshat. These goons are tragically elevated when their work is mediocre trash.

Absolutely insightful video! Looking forward to the companion video follow up highlighting stories that break the mold of the pro-establishment monomyth.

hopefully those stories will involve she ra, the owl house, avatar not the blue one and amphibia since those ones are about community and working together.

Denzel Washington told a fascinating story about his love for Westerns as a child before doing research into the role of a black cowboy for THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN REMAKE. He was furious when he was done. Not for the reasons you'd think. It was the discovery there were many FAMOUS black cowboys.

He'd just never been taught they existed because there had been people invested in making sure their stories, famous in their time, were not spread to inspire others.

Brilliant essay, as always! I have been on the fence about diving back into webcomics for years now and you're part of the influences pushing me to tell my own stories.

I'm looking forward to the next video! <3

as Uncle Iroh once said only a fool travels alone.

rangerredx.bsky.social•2 days ago

i hope your next video will bring up examples like she ra and the princesses of power, the owl house, dragon prince and amphibia as well because i feel what you said matters in the context of kids media as well.

rangerredx.bsky.social•2 days ago

thank you for bringing up my problem with the boys while the show does bring up how these characters are bad it doesn't have a solution to these characters like highlander it just double down them without any answer to them.

one of the best avatar stories so far has been about anarchist group called the guiding wind who wants to End the dominance of the nobility and wealthy across the world joined by princess zeisan, sozin's sister and there not made to be the bad guys like most anarchist groups in media.

like i said before some of the best superhero stories have been about superhero teams working together as a group like the x men fighting for a better world of unity in a world that hates and fears theam.

people can say what they want whatever they want about kid shows like he man, she ra, transformers and power rangers but at least those franchises were about working together as a community and not holding up a single person as the main hero.

jayej330.bsky.social•2 days ago

Honestly? I never really like the whole "It's just a kid's show" excuse for dumbing down content for these Franchises. I mean Power Rangers, if you really think about it, did tackle a lot of heavy topics like Racism, Classism, Xenophobia, Transhumanism, the AI debate, Ethics, Ageism, Sexism, etc.

rangerredx.bsky.social•2 days ago

i think some of the best seasons of power rangers are the ones that tried to move away from that saban way of telling stories and tried to do their own thing.

rangerredx.bsky.social•2 days ago

if you're looking for stories that aren't about the hero's journey i recommenced talking about kid media like avatar the last airbender or steven universe or a comic called heavy vinyl a story about a girl named chris who struggles to find her place in world.

Thanks to your videos, I permanently have a visceral, hellfire disdain for Matt Walsh to a level I can never admit publicly.

nectar-vam77.bsky.social•2 days ago

Matt Walsh has perpetual resting douche face

Damn it, YouTube! I subscribe so I know when people put things out!
Oh well, at least I know to look for it when I settle in tonight.
