I'm SO tired of her, honestly. She just consistently seems to sit on a really awkward line of being just educated in the facts to convince general audiences that she's an authority, but not enough to accurately contextualise anything. And she so often tries to Both Sides things that really shouldn't be.

Her video on Homestuck was almost entirely based on one inside source that had a big grudge against Andrew Hussie, and immediately after it aired What Pumpkin published their own view of what happened that really made it seem it was less incompetence and more 'they got scammed and were punished for trying to assume benefit of the doubt for a while.' Which actually coincides with a different insider source back from when it was happening that said the same.

And while this is less actively harmful, I'm still really irritable about her Supernatural video. It's absolutely ridiculous that half of a ship literally confessed to loving the other in the final couple of episodes, and yet believers in the ship are still portrayed as delusional entitled crazies. When you compare reactions to this ending versus How I Met Your Mother, the double standard is so obvious. Not to mention that she completely ignored that part of the problem with the finale was that Sam was set to get together with a woman named Eileen, who on top of being a great character is also Deaf, and yet she was left out of the finale entirely only for Sam to be shown hitched up with some faceless blurry woman, and his actor making comments dismissing the romance that came across as pretty ableist.

So sorry you had to get pulled in to all that. :(
