This was an exsausting experince.

youtube

First of all, you go into the description and you immediatly see Ayy Lmao, and if you know how I feel about that person: https://medium.com/@temp536228/vivziepop-a-story-of-caution-9924211bdf7b you'd know that Ayy Lmao is a horrible source when it comes to Vivziepop controversies.

So that was an immediate red flag.

Second was the fact that she used Rainbow's document but did not include any screenshots in the video despite the document in reality being blatant proof of Vivziepop's behavior is just exsausting to see.

Especially when if people actualy saw what the document, which was written by someone who is transgender was saying people wouldn't be nearly as leniant as they ended up being in the comments.

Especially when there is proof that the discord posts were Viv's.

It's just not in the video... yikes. OH my god... just... oh god why does this keep happening over and over and over it's MADENING.

THERE IS EVIDENCE! Why aren't you using it?! WHY ISN'T IT IN THE VIDEO?!

Sorry for the caps but OH MY GOD what are you people doing?!

It's been three years. Three years worth of evidence yet you people keep using NONE. None of it. How-

How is that even possible?!

It's always the same thing. Erin Frost is used as a cover up while people like Squidder or Kira who were mistreated by Vivziepop who are then not mentioned for god knows why, more false accusations to make Vivziepop look more innocent than she actually is, none of the biggest pieces of evidence are even used- it's exsausting!

I was wondering why the documents were still so passive and... no wonder! The video doesn't have any screenshots! At least not enough to prove anything really to the level where I wonder if Fiona choose false accusations and Erin Frost on purpose because OH BOY there are so many sources about Vivziepop's behavior nowadays that the fact that videos like this still exist is just mind boogling.

In fact, I checked, and it's just another video using Erin Frost and a bunch of false accusations to make Vivziepop look more "innocent" than she actually is. It's so exsuasting, honestly.

Fiona, please do yourself a favor and find better sources for the love of God. Thank you. Oh my god... this was exsuasting to see.

Good. Not much else to say except this should be a lesson that using Ayy Lmao as a source is not at all a good idea. That, and more research should have been done overall.

EDIT:

Turns out, she didn't admit to this at all and just said that the video wasn't what people "expected." Which doesn't count as admiting to it's flaws. Just saying that it was "different". So you didn't see the tweet accurately is what im trying to say.

#helluva boss #helluva boss criticism #helluva boss critical #vivziepop #vivziepop critical #oh my god #this is becoming so exsausting #this entire situation #wow... just. wow...#the video sure was a video #sure was #:/

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

#Also I'm saying this as someone who actually watched quite a few of Somerton's videos #And noticed those patterns and stopped watching bc I recognised them from here #and had already learned to unlearn them after being so exposed to them here #And tbh I think anyone who hasn't had the luck or made the conscious choice to seek out ppl who pushed against those narratives #Would absolutely have fallen for this man's bullshit. Like let's not kid ourselves we see takes like this every day on this hellsite #2014 me would have. For sure.#This is next to the plagiarism issue which as Harris points out is an Internet wide issue and this includes tumblr #James Somerton #hbomberguy #todd in the shadows #This brought to you by a conversation with my wife yesterday #So many ppl on here don't deserve to meme or be this self absolvingly critical of this man #The call is coming from inside the house #The man has a tumblr it would legit not surprise me if some of the things he supposedly made up himself he did actually get from somewhere #And that somewhere was a tumblr post
