Cam (Dead Meat Podcast #37)

[@sarashockey8792]

I really liked that Alice got right back to work too! I didn't see it as her "not learning anything" because - as you said - this isn't a cautionary tale against camming. It's more that she refused to be scared off or allow something she loves doing and does well to be stolen away from her. People take issue with Lola not calling out married viewers interacting with her stream but, like, their marital issues are theirs, not hers. Just what can she do about it? I think James' criticism of the nebulous explanation are pretty valid, but I also really agree with Chelsea's explanation too! It's so nice hearing such respectful, level-headed film discussion in a media landscape so dominated by absolutes.

[@WhaleManMan]

Sara Shockey I dunno if that message really works when you break your nose and risk dying to have a cam show.

[@sarashockey8792]

@@WhaleManMan ​ MJ Red The way I read it was this: Fake Lola stole Alice's account that she has put hundreds of hours to cultivate, and with it all of the income that she earns and lives off of. Fake Lola tells viewers she loves them, gives a walkthrough tour of Alice's home, and puts a picture of Alice's brother on video - breaking rules that Alice has in place for very real safety reasons. Alice is furious and wants this shit to end, and who could blame her? If Alice shrugged and went and got a "normal job," Fake Lola would still be out there stealing her identity for money, doing anything viewers wanted, putting her and her loved ones in danger. I thought being willing to break her nose and delete her account was pretty brave of her in that respect, not selfish.

[@jesuschrist2346]

Yeah no this isn’t a work of art or anything

[@blakep267]

Sara Shockey the thing is, she can’t actually win because the top earners are bots. She’s not just doing it for money, she’s seemingly doing it to be the best but that’s a futile endeavor because not only are the top all fake, her acct is going to get stolen again if she gets popular. So it doesn’t work in the ending

[@hanonondricek411]

Chelsea would make a great audiobook reader if she were ever interested in doing that!

[@macuss87]

There is a nice warmness to her voice. Though she is a little heavy on the vocal fry.

[@karrenthomas8753]

She sounds like the animator shgurr

[@bendavinoe4323]

She sounds like afraid to speak

[@brandonwheeler6612]

I disagree as it's the hardest thing for me. She has that I am always the victim leftist voice. I do like her but the voice and her views can get much at times. To be fair tho, I listen to a bunch of these at one time and it could be just fatigue and being overly critical.

[@xharliei4202]

i think lola’s rule about public shows is actually about doing shows in a public place, outside of her home (like a library) also her brother is probably also pissed because fake lola put a picture of him on screen and mentioned him by name

[@stephenstotch7471]

Absolute favourite Dead Meat quote : “so she’s me as a cam girl?” love it haha

[@ashleywilliams4665]

Yay! I’m happy you guys liked this movie and I knew you’d have this view on it(being that sex work is still a very valid profession that should be respected). I think it’s hard for a lot of people to understand the point of the film because of all the negative stereotypes we have about that kind of work. I commented on FoundFlix video saying the same thing, imagine it being a KZbinr. And I agree, I think the explanation was a little unsatisfying but at the same time, I guess it’s really not the point. I almost considered it some sort of manifestation of what Alice would become online if she continued to stray from her rules(like doing the vibatron show). She would make it to the top but it wouldn’t really be her anymore and she’d lose control of what she liked doing(which is creative and fun shows). If that makes any sense. And I feel like the ending seen where she breaks her nose was to show the audience that she was an authentic person but the fake Lola was just that, fake(with her digital scars). And I think it almost taught Alice to be herself and stick to what she believes in because that’s what her audience liked about her.

[@dusthymn8187]

Jama Jama couldn’t have said it better myself

[@colossalgoat8616]

Damn

[@jesuschrist2346]

Valid profession?? Not at all.

[@jesuschrist2346]

Jama Jama yes I think being a KZbinr is a valid profession because they put work into editing and budgeting videos, taking many hours. All sex cam workers do is wear something sexy, and do random sexual shit. No editing involved. But just my opinion.

[@ashleywilliams4665]

Andrew M fair enough. It is your opinion. I don’t know anything about working as a cam person but the character in this movie seems to put a lot of work into what she does. I don’t see it any different than being a performer for some type of show(maybe a singer or comedian). She buys the costumes and props,plans and then puts on the show all on her own. I don’t think editing determines whether it is actual work or not.(not to undermine those who do edit their work, I’ve watched James edit and I know him and his assistant editors work really hard on the kill counts). There are of course cam people who just turn on the camera and start talking or taking their clothes off but there are KZbinrs who just vlog their day and upload what they have. It just seems very similar to me, it’s still a job. But I’ll agree to disagree😁

[@shawn.badass]

I think the premise of the movie revolves around the idea of AI taking over the concept of deepfakes. Deepfakes is when people take all the pictures they can and Photoshop it on to a different video. So the fake Lola is basically an AI using deepfakes technology to become real Lola. Kind of shows you the horrors of the internet and how technology can grow to be harmful. And the ending she explains that if she gets copies again then she'll just make a new account with a different persona. Her intentions could be that she wants to cover the site with all her accounts.

[@annegrey3780]

I really like how Chelsea points out that the things that happened to Lola could have happened to a KZbinr. I never really got the sense that the movie is trying to say "this is what being a cam girl is" I always felt like the movie was saying this is who Lola is, and in Lola's view I think she does view her work as very similar to what a KZbinr does. And I also find it interesting how Lola only sees her cam work as violating is when she's no longer in control of it. Even before fake Lola isn't breaking Lola's rules (even when fake Lola is upping Lola's viewers), it still really upsets Lola that she's not in control of it. Which is interesting in an age where so much is online but where people also tend to have this mentality of "if its on the net it's your fault if other people take it" (a tone actually voiced during the movie as Lola tries to get help). And I'd imagine that that is actually something KZbinrs also have to deal with (though maybe not as much as cam girls).

[@n0tb4by]

thank you for bringing up tumblr! When I was involved in sex work I was based solely on tumblr because live work wasn't safe for me, a lot of my friends are losing a source of clients because of this. I personally stopped because of the affect it was having on my irl relationships and threats that were being thrown around, but this bs with tumblr could ruin careers. It's scary.

[@user-qm6lp2vh3k]

Hey I'm glad you reviewed this movie, I really liked it until the ending. I think the "No Public Shows" rule refers to her refusal to due shows in public, not putting them behind a pay way as you suggested. There's sort of a call back to this when her double is doing shows in the library.

[@Neat0_o]

Man, that intro is going to be iconic later on down the road. Also, so close to 2 million subs!!!!

[@lionblaze0384]

11:20 recently watched this movie for myself and I felt this. The scene where she answers the door in her cam clothes and then frantically covers up, I forgot she was even in any kind of compromising clothes because it had felt so comfortable so far. Just normal. I didn't realize she was even 'indecent' until she covered up.

I really like how Alice/Lola is caring more about how she can solve it for herself and not worry about trying to kill or destroy it and have it be the end of it for other girls Also it kinda reminds me of It Follows and how Jay just wanted it to stop and didn’t want to find the source of it and how it all began

[@tammyward1018]

[@Lovefromwcu1]

I really like that the characters are not traditionally sexualized. It's a very realistic depiction of sex work. This movie is underrated for that and many other reasons.

[@somecanadiangirl1]

Crazy how the plot of this movie has only gotten more plausible

[@NyxDiscordia33]

Wow. After listening to this episode of the podcast, I really appreciate the angle this movie is coming from. She's a camgirl, loves being a camgirl, and it seems like the movie is really lax with how she's presented instead of constantly repeating how "wrong" it is to be a sex worker. Despite being a horror movie, I feel like the environment of the characters and their relationships is really loose and relaxed and I think that's super cool. She has a loving relationship with her mother and even her brother approves of it.

[@lwillis669]

I think the stalking incident that you guys were thinking of was when Meg Turney and Gavin Free got their house broken into, and the stalker wanted to murder Gavin so he could be with Meg? It's truly terrifying how obsessed people become with online personalities!

It's one of the reasons why I keep coming back for more; and of course, to hear a now married couple get scared together

It seems to me like the "thing" that pretends to be Lola is meant to be a simulacra of sorts. (Simulacra are creatures thats can perfectly replicate a living being , the most know instance of them in media would be the game "Simulacra" which uses it in a technological way that basically sets up a mythos for the creatures existing within the internet/another universe that can be viewed through the internet.) It seems like the movie either took inspiration from their mythos or inteded to depict the alternate lola as a simulacra (if that's true then idk why they never stated that explicitly tho). I may have gotten some of the specifics wrong about simulacra, but I did find out that they are named for the word simulacrum which means ,A representation or imitation of a person or thing. So thats kinda interesting.

[@Siegberg91]

That would explain why the creature has no physical form what is strange is that the copy can not see itself in her maybe she is more of a sucubus which can get in her dreams that would explain why she can see her home a sucubus has the bonus that they look like the people want them to look

I usually agree with you guys but I did not like this movie at all. The protagonist didn't learn anything in the end and I thought she was really hard to root for. To be clear not because she was doing cam work but just the way she treats her mom and the fact that she's always trying to pursue "fame"/notoriety.

[@ethanwilkins5001]

Isaac Kangas I respectfully disagree. She learned how to talk to her mom about her life honestly, and decided to do camming at the end because it’s what she loves to do for work (a type of work that inherently requires you to work for a type of popularity/fame). I think it’s clear that fame wasn’t as important to her as her reclaiming her identity/sexual consent due to the fact that she physically broke her nose so she could delete her account she worked so hard for. I loved that the resolve was her getting closer to her mom through honesty and getting rid of her shame of sex work. (This movie was super accurate btw. I’m a current gay cam model and can relate)

@@ethanwilkins5001 I think you bring up some really good points but I still do think that there's plot issues at the end. In the end she decides to delete her account because it got taken over by a bot but she didn't solve that problem. Like she didn't delete the program or anything, it's still out there taking over accouts on this website. Furthermore she didn't even really expose this program on a bigger level to the news or tell other cam girls who are climbing up the ranks themselves. I thought the movie implied that someone might be killing these girls once they can take over their accounts so is she just neglecting to inform these girls of this life threatening shadow program? It just feels like nothing was learned. At the end she starts another account on the same cam website to try and move up the ranks again but what happens when she gets to the top again? Will the same thing with the bots happen? What's to stop them? Idk, I respect your opinion but the whole movie just felt like it had major loose ends that made the plot feel a little redundant.
