Not like anyone expected her to just hop back on Twitter and be like "okay I'm back"!

A hundred minute video on the very concept of being cancelled is pretty much the most Lindsay Ellis way to respond to anything. :)

was she really cancelled over comparing raya and the last dragon to avatar the last airbender? i assumed that blew over because people knew it was ridiculous.

Does deleting her Twitter herself count as "canceling"?

The worst thing that came from it is she deleted her own Tiwtter account.

Did she not do this kind of stuff herself before she became the victim? I remember her joining in when people tried to cancel James Rolfe.

Did they? I haven't been following this or Lindsey in general that much and I'm not watching that almost 2 hour video. Thought people hate her because of something else.

I think that'd probably get filed more under "poorly aged Channel Awesome content" than anything, what with Lindsay Ellis distancing herself from the Nostalgia Chick character and considering the To Boldly Flee rape joke to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Even considering Spoony's downfall, he wasn't cancelled for all of the lame gay jokes he put into the Final Fantasy 8 review he's well-known for. We accept that it's dated content.

The worst part is how insufferably boring it is.

To this day, the only entertaining thing she's ever done is crush Movie Blob's dreams of her ever being his waifu.

Spoony essentially stopped making new content by 2014. He wasn't even active enough for anyone to "cancel" him.

She extensively addresses it in the video. It's rooted in personal trauma, it was never meant to be seen by anyone, and she's been mercilessly spammed with it whenever possible.

Honestly, she could of just ignored the whole thing. A few angry people on Twitter are a very vocal minority and they will typically go away if you ignore them.

I mean. It differs in that the two of them structure their videos differently. Lindsay's is a structured essay of individual points. Natalie's is a flowing dramatic narrative.

Also who is Todd.
