if I had a nickel for every great video essay about plagiarism released this week I'd have... prolly like a dollar actually

[fanboyistransboy]

50:10 when the Arsonist says “They’re not even calling it a women’s shelter!” while holding up the paper with the headline “WOMEN’S SHELTER BURNS” is quite funny and extremely relevant to the rest of the essay

[sterrenkijker]

I had a professor who loved roger scruton when I was getting my bachelor's in philosophy. everyone hated this class. as part of our grade we had to do presentations, and half of us chose to present on scruton and why he sucked - on the day we had to present, he died. we fully believed our collective hatred of this man gathered in one building had killed him

[FreakyDeeDubz]

"what is the feminist equivalent of blowing up a pipeline?" REMEMBER! blowing up a pipeline is NOT a gendered act! we'll just call it a girls night out

[rebeccacollis]

The arsonist could be the slimiest most hated caricature character ever but they way you act it out is legit terrifying because it makes him into a charming person who utilises skillful manipulation tactics to the extreme.

[innitheotaku]

The arsonist is such a good segment everytime because for the whole video up till that point we’ve been learning how to recognize these peoples rhetoric and now essentially get practice on how to notice the dog whistles as they’re happening

[KlutzerBomb]

Imagine saying "a shared identity is what holds us together!" And then recommending a shared identity that leaves most people feeling isolated, ignored, and mistreated

[SPCTRLT]

The way the camera moves during the Arsonist's monologue, so even as he "flatters" the woman he's talking to by calling her beautiful, intelligent, creative, etc; he's looking DOWN on her. Fucking brilliant.

[idab]

The absolute genius of the Arsonist saying "we need women who can stay cool when the heat is on" when _he's the one who's setting things on fire in the first place._ Perfectly encapsulates how oppressors gaslight the oppressed into doing their dirty work for them.

[Cuix]

I can't believe Tommy Talerico wrote this absolutely incredible video essay! His mom must be so proud

[EbinDesu]

Abigail plays the Arsonist very well she is an extremely skilled actress. I love how charismatic the Arsonist is, how the character talks, flirts, pretends to care about your thoughts and then how the conversation is steered in such subtle ways. Masterful manipulation, a terrifying character. Brilliant work Abigail!

[UrsusCanis]

Thinking about the "queerness is seen as foreign" line as a 2-spirit Indigenous American that's been told countless times that my identity is a new fad. Even though there's a word for it in my tribe's language that, y'know, predates colonialism :^)

[iloivar]

Several years ago, I started using a mood tracker and quickly got upset because “anger” was not one of the options. And I was angry. Almost every day.

[CatBreadHead]

It's plagiarism month on YouTube! I'm so here for it.

[AT-ezhr]

I got disowned when I was 19 and couldn't get government assistance despite briefly being homeless and living below the poverty line. This is because, untill you're 22, you're considered a dependent to your parents.
The only way to claim benifits is either prove that your parents are a significant immediate threat to your safety (not just violent or abusive), or have them fill out income report paper work.

When tried to file for independence based on abuse, I was told I was only in teir 2 and I needed to be in teir 4 risk. My parent used words to kick me out. They weren't 'violent'.

But at the same time, I couldn't get them to fill out the income paperwork nessecary because they didn't want anything to do with me.

This also impacted my access to affordable health care.

I've since turned 22 and gotten benifits and it is life changing. Prior I could not attend University in full time as I had to work 25hrs a week minimum. Now I can! My benifits take care of my rent!!!

Ya girls getting an education!!!

[ObsessiveReaderLuv]

So despite being non-binary I genuinely heard the joke about the nonexistent uterus and my first thought was “oh she got it removed” because this is my first time watching the channel lmao

[ennifer]

I'm a woman in the tech industry. Because I'm a women, I was the only one who was ever asked to make the powerpoint presentations "pretty" which, along with the actual design, meant doing all the data analysis and charts and stats. They would go off to the board and look good and I got no credit. I finally embedded "created by (name)" into the theme in the background. My bosses aren't technical so they couldn't get rid of it. And they didn't dare ask me to delete it or risk admitting they were passing the work off as their own. 😂

[AntiCensorshipProKindness]

Okay but the amount of fear being felt by anyone who plagiarised her work after seeing what Hbomberguy did to Somerton just brings me a certain amount of joy as an academic who busts my ass doing my own research (this whole thing has felt extra personal since Somerton was a jerk to me directly on Twitter and also makes videos on similar topics to what I cover in academia).

As always though, I can't wait to see Abigail's video! Her work is consistently some of, if not the, best content on this site!

[WhyseWytch]

It's insane to me that "deny reality" is a "valid" political argument. Escapism belongs in fiction, not as a foundation for an entire society.

[truffeltroll]

For someone so critical of gender roles, you can't stop cooking fr fr
