I’m just thinking about how the McElroy brothers were absolutely worshipped on this website as cornerstones of internet culture, and then all of a sudden a few years ago everyone did that thing that they always do to random dudes they used to worship, and decided that they were the devil (for reasons I was never clear on), and then Sarah Z made this long-ass video called something like “The History of the Decline and Fall of the McElroy Fandom” like some huge Voltron-esque fandom dropoff had happened. But like nothing had actually occurred and everyone who had been listening to their podcast just kept listening to their podcast and they’re still very prevalent in meme culture. What the fuck was all that about

#I thiiiink people were saying that Travis had made some comment that was apparently cancel-worthy #but it must not have been that big of a deal because I never ever found out what it was. And I very much moved in those circles. #I was into TAZ and MBMBAM and Monster Factory and like five other things of theirs #Anyway if you went and listened to the first ≈100 eps of MBMBAM you could come up with 500 cancellable offenses I am sure of it #Also I do not like Sarah Z. Don’t know if my animosity came through #It always seems like she comes up with a thesis for her videos and then does her darndest to find whatever evidence fits that thesis. #Which is what we call in academic circles a ‘no-no’ #Also she did this video years ago about ‘Bad Faith Media Criticism’ where she extensively criticized someone else’s video about #Steven Universe but I had seen the video she was talking about Sarah straight up just lied about what was in that video. Multiple times. #In a video about bad faith criticism. I stopped watching her vids after that. #mbmbam
