I was screenshot and inserted into her latest video, the one where she makes fun of a cult with a death toll because she thinks they use childish language.
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.
Oh no! Sorry you have to deal with that. Im just so fed up with SarahZ,,, like about a year ago I used to watch her videos here and there for lack of people who cover incidents concisely so I dont have to spend 3 days researching the wank myself but I have since unsubbed with prejudice. She always felt like she had an undertone of 'This is cringe and I hate cringe look at the freaks' about her stuff and recently its really burst through. People have tried to tell her why what she did was fucked up but all she did was double down with nary an apology and then cried a bunch when she got a taste of what she levied at all of the rest of us. Now it was absolutely fucked for people to harass her. That is wrong. But also youd think shed have even a shred of sympathy for the very real material harm of harassment if she was crying over hers. But nope instead she fakeclaims the far too many instances of doxxing, physical threats, outing, needles in cookies, hospitalization, suicide attempts, etc. The things that have archived evidence. Disgusting behavior from someone whos all 'believe surivviors!1!!' Yeah except when its cringe to do so apparently. Had it up to here with normies like I literally feel safer with dudebro anime fans than other fellow queer folks sometimes its unreal.
Some odd years back on tumblr I unfollowed her for her shipcourse posts/reblogs (I am an enjoyer of filth, thank you) and then years later she's acting above it all, and as if she always was.
I wondered if she'd changed when she re-emerged as a fandom youtube person since she had gotten older, although I had no interest in her videos. And then I saw the twitter drama where she brought up an incident in the Sherlock fandom that I will confess to not knowing too much about as a non-fan. But what I do remember was people who were involved in said incident asking her to not exploit trauma for clicks, and her responding with "Shut up, blocked, why don't you trust me to not be exploitative?" which... Fans are real people! If you're really "not going to be exploitative of trauma" you can show it by taking concerns seriously, to start! I like to give people benefit of the doubt and respond accordingly, and that event taught me "Nope, she's just as bad as ever"
Yeah, I kinda noticed it too in her most recent vid. She has this whole aura of "I hardly know anything about this particular subject but I'm gonna say some random buzzwords so I seem smart and get attention."
Also I had no idea about the whole alledged TERF shit on her twitter since I don't have twitter, but dear god does she sounds cringy and just plain rude.
I'm gonna unsub from her. Kinda upset cause I really enjoyed her videos but I'm not supporting someone who can't take the time to actually research what they're talking about, especially when it comes to something which has literally cause people to lose their lives.
