Hoaxes are nothing new. News media isn't hard to fool. It's fun to fool and people wike to mess with people. It all goes to show you that we're not all that hard to fool. I think we should just accept that and twust people anyway.

📺🤮

When i check out a YouTube channel i havent tried before, and they start talking about "we're not like the MAINSTREAM MEDIA because we have a DIVERSITY of political opinions", why does that set off my dog whistle alarms? I feel like most times i hear that, it turns out they're an outlet that allows for bigotted, elitist classist views. And then i went to look up this particular channel's Wikipedia. Yes, it was founded by a guy with tenture as a film critic. I started watching this particular vid of his because he had quotes from insider sources who work at Disney. But i also remember how he's been making several distasteful statements in recent years. Probably safer to add this channel to my list of YouTube channels to avoid.

I swear, it's always safer to stick to YouTubers who are queer or are a constantly vocal ally to non dominant social groups. Otherwise, I'll just be listening along and then hear something jarringly...distasteful...🤢 First time, it's "did i hear what i thought i just heard?" Second time, "isn't that a dog whistle used by bigots?" Third time, "omg I don't think they're using it ironically! I need to get out of here! Omg i just wanted to listen to a video essay about superheroes!"

The only healthy/productive "diverse opinions" are an INCLUSIVE diversity in perspectives of cultures that does NOT tolerate bigotry. Like that old saying: the irony of tolerance is to be intolerant of intolerance. Yeah, the world is shades of grey, not absolutes, and that's how to stamp out bigotry. So when i hear a channel imply that they might tolerate perspectives that actively disdain and try to take away people's human rights---just because they're different from the "norm" (white cishet Christian male)---for the sake of "a diversity of opinions"? Then it's time to run far away from that YouTube channel.

EDIT 8:52 AM 12/6/2023: After the whole James Somerton thing, it's become clear to me that simply being queer isn't a reliable signal for a safe YouTuber. My general rule has always been to evaluate YouTubers by how much empathy they have for all people. Do they catch themselves to ensure they always speak with inclusivity? Do they give their opposition the benefit of the doubt? Do they show a general concern for all groups, even the ones they aren't a part of? After the vlogbrothers showed how it's done, I usually watch for the same type of vibe. I didn't think Somerton passed; actually I thought he spoke with a lot of passive-aggressive hostility in his tone. But a lot of the information he gave was good, so I pushed through my discomfort with his tone. But I should have listened to my instincts. Now my only consolation is that it's ok for me to like most of what Somerton said in his vids, because most of those words WEREN'T HIS. They were stolen from much better authors, activists, documentarians, and video essayists. So I don't have to feel bad that I liked those ideas. I just have to watch them from their actual sources instead. I'm so glad hbomberguy made a playlist of recommended video essayists.

The Nerdfighter community has accepted me where my local community has kicked me out

The Nerdfighter community has given me home. I have met people who are just as excited and passionate about things as I am and that is really powerful. I love the Vlogbrothers!

John and Hank can make me laugh, cry (especially John. Freaking TFiOS.), and even learn a thing or two. I am so glad that Brotherhood 2.0 was started and I don’t know where I would be without it! I love you, John and Hank!

I feel more confident since joining the community :)

Hank and John have been an inspiration to me. I definitely feel like a more involved person now that I’m part of an online community, and I love the ideas of “decreasing world suck” and “not forgetting to be awesome.”

Watching Hank play guitar has pushed me to learn guitar myself. John’s books have taught me lots of lessons (as well as provided an amazing source of entertainment), and their videos have made me laugh and given me food for thought. I am truly lucky to be part of Nerdfighteria!

Some vids for anon that sum up why getting the vaccine is a good idea and why the process was not rushed or lacking in testing

https://youtu.be/IxCHv7T_mao - Vlogbrothers

Yes it’s good to do research, but most reliable, scientific sources are going to encourage you to get the vaccine.

Thank you!!

immensely proud to be a part

I started watching the Vlogbrothers videos after I read John's books when I was 20 as part of an assignment for my creative writing class. The assignment was to read three books by the same author and then do a presentation on that author and his/her writing style. I devoured Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns, and An Abundance of Katherines and was still hungry for more, so my good friend Joe introduced me to the Vlogbrothers videos. I was immediately hooked. Since then I've been an avid fan, watching the new videos each week, purchasing merchandise, and attending Nerdfighter gatherings.

I've made at least 3 friends directly because of my love of the Vlogbrothers. John's books have been a source of sincere comfort and humor for me as well as an inspiration for my own writing. I can't begin to explain how much I admire John for being such a caring, friendly, unimaginably giving person. The incredible fame that has come with The Fault in Our Stars's success has not changed him at all. I'm immensely proud to be a part of his community and I can't imagine the past few years of my life without the influence of his books and videos.

This is why I still love the Vlogbrothers. They are giving away quite a sum of their estimated net worth (though by no means all of it.) They acknowledge and want to directly address the very real, deadly and horrible difficulties in the world, but they aren’t starting their own charity to do it. Don’t get me wrong; some celebrity or philanthropist started charities are fantastic, but they’re putting money into existing charities with existing people and foundations in Sierra Leonne to help decrease preventable deaths.

The best part about this? They’re very clearly acknowledging that though their sum of money is far more, they are still giving less in terms of percentage and effort and heart than people like Ruth, the health care worker that Partners in Health is working with. She gave $2 so a family could eat that day, far more out of her paycheck than the millions out of Hank and Johns. They are still giving quite a lot and will save hopefully thousands of people and hundreds of thousands affected by it, but they are still giving less than Ruth giving those $2.

THESE are the kind of rich people I want. They fully acknowledge their privilege and use it and their influence to help try to make the world a better place in so many ways.

If you can donate, please consider doing so. Here’s the link https://donate.pih.org/page/contribute/maternal-health-sierra-leone?source=20191009_ws_sl_matn_MCOESocial_fnd_0_0_grbrstrf_AVA0427

It’s not going through Hank and John, only going into their specific partnership with Partners in Health. Even if you can’t give much, consider it. Those with so little themselves are often the ones that seem to give them most.

That being said, please watch your own finances too! If you can’t donate, please spread the word! Even if you don’t end up going through this link, donating to Partners in Health itself would be amazing. They’re a fantastic
