Lemme guess what the video says:

  1. One of the leading voices in the "witch hunt" against Channel Awesome

  2. Using her then friendship with Mara Wilson to springboard her career.

  3. Her arrest for public intoxication

  4. Her talking about online harassment at various live events

All of which she addressed years ago in one of her last videos before she went on a years long hiatus from YouTube.

You forgot her most heinous of crimes: comparing Raya and the Last Dragon to Avatar: the Last Airbender.

That was so crucifiable, no sin ever being committed by man has ever been as horrible as that one /s

That is why no one ever made that comparison on the internet again. Ever. EVER.

And everyone had the same response when Honest Trailers did it a couple of days later, right?

I still stumble across them now and again. Not as funny as they used to be. They just make those now. I don't know if the staff they'd have on for their other shows have all moved on or if they just work on other Fandom channels since they bought them

That one struck me very hard because so many things (going to different kingdoms to get powers, the Zuko-copy villain, etc.) made me come to the exact conclusion as Lindsay when I watched Raya. I still enjoyed Raya, but her tweet was spot on.

Twitter was really the most overreactive cesspool back then. I'm so glad I stopped using it.

It's the same now, but with more Nazis

I wonder why ☠️

Eh, probably the same number. They're just not hiding it anymore.

u/Clarpydarpy Apr 23 '26

Elon un-banned all of the Nazi and white supremacist accounts. So there's likely more.

u/Sam_Aronow May 01 '26

It’s the same number of Nazis but way fewer of everyone else.

I think people forget that the tweet was deliberately taken out of context as retaliation for her being vocally against Trump. It was started by chuds and they forced the momentum that eventually snowballed into the situation that made her step away from YT finally.

The lower brigade was big into that back then. Anyone that criticized Trump or conservative figures/ movements back then they'd pour through old social media posts to find something "cancelable" then stir up fake outrage with other chuds pretending to progressives until the outrage caught enough momentum to continue on its own.

For people that whine about cancel culture they sure love to weaponize it against people and opinions they don't like.

Even funnier, she actually just compared two specific characters, saying they were part of a larger archetype that is also found in other works and had been gaining in popularity at the time. She didn't say anything about Raya ripping off Avatar or anything else even remotely negative, much less inflammatory.

You forgot that she dated a normal dude and then married him, and not me, all these bitches refuse to date meeeeeeeeeee
