You know, I've said a lot of stupid shit over the last decade on my channel, and I'm sure there's tons of takes in there that adult me wouldn't agree with at all. But I've never had someone in my audience try to cancel me over it, because they're there watching me grow as a human year by year, and they know that I'm more than just one bad opinion. The idea that Lindsay got cancelled by HER OWN AUDIENCE blows my mind. These are the people who DID watch her on a regular basis, and DID watch her grow. And they are still going to try to cancel her. I don't know if that says more about them or her, but it doesn't look good on either of them. Seeing her write that she regrets "Playing the game" with colleagues who will drop her the second she isn't popular is just crazy to me. Maybe you should be making genuine friends, not playing the game? If she regrets doing everything just because other people were assholes to her about it, then I don't think her heart was even in the right place. Why would you regret doing what you knew was right just because other people shit on you for it? They're wrong and they don't know the whole story, who cares what they think?

[@BlueGrimgrin]

"Walking Away from Omelas" is a pretty good short story by Ursula K LeGuin. It's about a utopian society (the titular Omelas) that somehow depends on a miserable abused child kept in squalor and total isolation in a basement in the town. Everyone who lives there has to see this child AFAIK once a year though a window; and have it explained to them that any attempt to free the child or improve it's conditions ends everyone else's perfect town. It's basically a critique of utilitarianism, because despite the fact that this is an obviously good bargain from a utilitarian perspective, there are those that find it morally unacceptable. It's kind of disgusting that Lindsay Ellis uses this title; because it suggests she either sees herself as the abused child or she sees herself as making the moral choice to walk away. Setting aside how absurd the idea that she's equivalent to an abused child held in total isolation in a basement, "Thing is causing me pain, move away from thing" is not even close to a moral choice. It barely requires a recognizable brain FFS. If she wanted a literary reference for the title of this, may I humbly suggest "The Demons"? Dostoevsky's novel about vicious miserable would be revolutionaries making everything worse for everyone, while an idle and out of touch upper class humours and indulges them because they view it all as an amusing game?

[@Shenaldrac]

Hey, thanks for the informative synopsis! A couple other people have mentioned the book but didn't explain it as well. Completely ignoring the whole Lindsay thing, I imagine I wouldn't enjoy the book very much. Granted all I really have is your synopsis and that's no substitute for the full thing, but it really does just sound like a very blatant criticism of utilitarianism, using a frankly contrived scenario. Granted I like a good amount utilitarianism so I'm biased, but I feel like if you want to criticize it (or anything really, in my (admittedly limited) experience a great deal of dystopian fiction suffers from this) then why use some trumped up hyperbolic situation when you could use a more reasonable, "this could actually happen" thing? Like instead of an entire utopian society somehow running off the misery of an abused child which just doesn't make sense, what about a society in which everyone is entered into a lottery any time an organ transplant is needed, with the "winner" being required to donate the needed organ? That would be very utilitarian, and most readers would find it completely intolerable, but it is something that I could see actually occurring in such a society. I could believe that such a place, such a system could exist. I guess for me, the way I see it is that if you as an author just want to shit on a given -ism in particular I'd much rather that you simply write an essay explaining why you think it's bad, rather than writing a work of fiction that exists solely to push your message.

[@funkyweapon1981]

[@Keeki95]

I don't see how it's so far fetched of a utilitarian concept. Just about every society has historically had slavery, and today many benefit from luxuries for greatly reduced cost for them at the cost of someone in countries without regulations they demand in their own countries for their own labor. And because they're not directly responsible, it's very easy to shift blame onto "the system" or "the corporation" without considering their role in what consumer markets demand.

I find funny the way she speaks. "I'm not virtuous anymore!" like if she is a Victorian era woman who had an affair before marriage and it's not "pure" anymore.

The point is, she could move on with her channel and give a huge finger to the nagging cancel mob but, 1) the next few videos she would make about unrelated topics would be flooded with comments of “why are you not addressing the tweets?”, “why are you not apologizing?”, “you’ve hurt people!”, 2) a good chunk of her audience would leave in protest and she would have to face the humiliation of seeing her numbers drop, 3) she would have to cultivate a new audience of people that are not woke npc’s and breadtubephile tankies, that means she would have to alter her views to appeal to a more moderate audience that could possibly include **gasp** right leaning people, and that is something Lindsay could never do, 4) she would have to reckon with her own part in cultivating cancel culture after years of saying it doesn’t exist and that “it’s aCcOunTAbILitY!!”, and finally, 5) her shift away from the left (even if it were only a slight change to the center left for example) would mark her as an undesirable by her former peers, she would be banned from the exclusive parties and group chats and whatever other means these people have of giving each other validation and coordinating their professional moves amongst themselves, she would become persona non grata among those circles much like what happened with Lacy Green for exemple when she left the the cult and started to ask questions and associate with the enemy, and much like what happened to Lacy, despite the efforts of building new audiences and keep going, Lindsay would eventually fade from relevancy nonetheless.

The thing is, you can't fall into a purity spiral if you don't consider yourself, or let anyone else consider you, or maybe even actively disassociate yourself from the notion of being considered, pure. Take Sseth - although he doesn't try to be offensive for the sake of it, and has toned it down a bit, he still doesn't care about appearing (politically) "correct". He knows his stuff might disgust some people. And his audience knows that as well. Therefore, he'll _never_ become a role model. He'll never become someone to look up to. He'll never be put on a pedestal - and he'll never be knocked off of it, at least from a moral perspective. If you say that Sseth isn't a good person, he'll just shrug it off - "well, yeah, no shit Sherlock. Any other nuggets of wisdom you have to share with us?". Therefore, he never really has to watch his back - the worst that can happen is that he'll become unfunny and fade into obscurity - but his audience will never turn on him morally, because they have no moral standing his audience to begin with, _because_ they're his audience. No such luck for Lindsay Ellis, whose schtick seems to have been "I am holier than thou". But she can't keep it up, because, in the end, she really isn't - so she gets consumed by her own. Ironically, and tragically, what made her purity spiral possible also becomes the reason for her downfall - her arrogance, and her utter reliance on justifying herself as above her peers. Even if she isn't cancelled _that much,_ it's still the end of the world for her - her ego became too fragile to function.

I'm on the left economically. I'm pretty radical about a lot of things. Having said that: 1.

Lindsay posting that essay without informing her workers in advance is brutally, punitively anti-worker. If Jeff Bezos shut down a fulfilment centre and the workers heard about in a press release, Lindsay would be the first person to call him an evil capitalist piece of shit. Just disgusting behaviour. 2. If she actually cares about these people, she shouldn't just collapse her business like this. She makes $20k a month from Patreon, plus presumably fairly hefty AdSense revenue, and in the last two years she's produced barely 20 videos. Could she employ writers, and just be a frontwoman for the channel? Could she hire someone to run her Twitter? I don't expect her to feel solidarity for the people attacking her, who seem like dicks (even though by her own logic, they are right by definition, and she is wrong for disagreeing), but why has she not tried to find a way to keep them in jobs, especially during a global health and economic crisis? 3. It's hilarious that she makes a joke out of how "cancel culture doesn't exist." I'm pretty sure she used those exact words herself when she made one of her two hatchet job videos on JK Rowling. In those videos, she mocked Rowling for "weaponising her trauma," while making little to no criticism of the TRAs who sent her rape and death threats to the extent that the police had to get involved because several of the threats were considered to be a lot more than just big talk on the internet. The fact that Lindsay doesn't even pause during this essay to reflect on that is another sign that this is a narcissistic pity party, not anything that normal people should give a shit about.

I would overlook this as Lindsey being the hot Prog mess we've come to know her as, but leaving the patreon up is just scummy. No respect or benefit of doubt she wants to quit making videos but doesn't want to give up the income.

[@jneilson7568]

Yes, I cancelled once I understood nothing, especially not the formerly interesting essays, was coming back.

[@AspiringDevil]

@@jneilson7568 right move. Patreon is not a charity. You are paying for a future art product. It's a shame Lindsay couldn't get herself together but that's not the audiences responsibility.

I read a story about an old woman who noticed a snake freezing to death in the cold. Taking pity on it, she takes it home with her. It warms up inside but bites her. As the old lady lies dying, she asks the snake “why?” The snake says “lady, you knew I was a snake.” It doesn’t matter how kind you are, some people are just poisonous and will hurt you regardless.

[@Garrus1995]

@@oz_jones Yeah, that’s what I thought when I first read it. The moral is pretty much the same; it doesn’t matter if your intentions are good, some people are just too toxic to help and will bring you down if you get too close.

I was actually a big fan of Lindsay back when she was “the nostalgia chick”. What went wrong, when did this start 😭 gradual then all at once I guess

It's like watching the nice girl from your high school class after years and she is now part of some weird cult...

@redloiyu654jay she was in that mxix sex cult trying to lure other celeb women in for her cult leader I believe he got a walk and she got time

She was a pretentious midwit even back then. We just tolerated it better because of how young she was.

[@jamesriley007]

@@CountArtha I can live with pretentiousness but one must also have some humility and be able to laugh at ones own folly Taking yourself so seriously just drives everyone away and makes you unhappy and devoid of humanity

"Walking away from Omelas" is a reference to a short story by Ursula K LeGuin about a city that's utopian except that the utopia runs on the suffering of one innocent and everyone knows it so some people leave, and no one knows where they go

[@FourOf92000]

to me the reference doesn't make any sense, except that they're both "leaving" the idea that Breadtube is anything like utopian is peak lel

[@CoryTheRaven]

I get it... It's not just that she's getting online harassed, which is where you need to go out and touch grass. It's that it's her own "community" doing it, the people with whom she's bound her sense of identity. Her "side" isn't on her side anymore. That's gotta' be rough.

She sacrificed many to the crocodile but then she ran out of people, and the crocodile was still hungry.

They should probably take that crocodile to the vet, if it's being fed regularly but is still very hungry it probably has a tapeworm or something.
