The connections between Raya and Avatar TLA. She watched it on a plane and made some comparisons while in flight. Landed to find herself the main character on Twitter that day.

That's a shame, her videos were really good.

But it felt like she had been losing steam for a while - there are quite a few times where she goes really long times without releasing a video, and now she has success with actually writing a book I think she doesn't feel the need to keep kicking around.

She made a pretty innocuous tweet saying ATLA should be its own subgenre since so many things are blatantly influenced/derivative from it, citing Raya as an example.
A bunch of misery loving like company tweeters said she was racist
Shes replies
Replying was the only mistake she made

This, you can't reason or apologize with insane people on the Internet. You can only ignore or laugh at them.

Lindsay Ellis built her entire fanbase out of the sort of people who patrol twitter looking for something to be offended by. Its no surprise at all that they imploded when she made even the slightest inappropriate remark

She is still upset over people disgreeing with her? Did I miss something as it like horrible harassment that came with it or something. I don't see her leaving just because she was called out for something. But it seems to be the case.

I mean she monetized her abortion. That would have had to get her more heat than this shit.

She said she wanted to the turn Harriot into the a Reylo like fan fic with the slaver she escaped from. While also saying people who wanted Finn to get with Rey were alt-right .

There is no way that she got more heat from this than all of her past bullshit.

Dude all we have is the Patreon post. You're seeing the same thing I'm seeing.

Take it up with her if you're so gung-ho.

I wish her the best, but I do think keeping a patreon running when you're literally announcing you won't produce anymore content is kind of indefensible, even if it's truly as she say to keep her employees in health insurance. Lots of people who pledge to patreon hardly even use the site and just wait for the promised content to drop. Out of sight, out of mind.

At least make some sort of statement of "I'm keeping it running three months so that my employees can get benefits while looking for other employment" or some such. That's still a bit much, but kind of whateverish.

Again, her entire fanbase comprised the epicentre of bored tumblrinas. These people are the fucking worst. They live for this shit.

Reading her patreon post is pretty disgusting tbh. She sounds like she's having ideation thoughts. I hope she gets help.

I keep making posts and then deleting my thoughts.

I think she could have just making content if that's what she really wanted. Maybe it would be better to take an extended break. Her youtube channel wasn't really hurt all that much, social media is whatever, any other issues would have come from IRL.

The salt in this thread is fucking hilarious.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the tweet, and yeah it is evidence of cancel culture.

Toxic people on the internet will harass people for effectively 0 reason, and so long as they can tell they are getting to them, they won't let up.

She's a good content creator, it's going to be a shame to see her go.

One last thought. This is what happens to people who exist in a microbubble on social media. To everyone involved this provably seemed like a huge deal (especially to her), but if you don't have twitter its impossible to wrap your head around. It feels so utterly inconsequential and odd.
