quick discworld vid
Added 2021-08-05 17:39:09 +0000 UTCexperimenting in making shorter, less taxing videos! woohoo. this one's about the recent twitter talk about terry pratchett's discworld novels
there's no outro, there's a lil audio missing, & checking it thru it needs a few small changes. video description ofc. and a title. ha. all will be fixed for the live version
opinions and comments very welcome
thanks folks!

I liked the content of this one. You had a great argument and showed it pretty well in respect to Discworld. If you like the lighter weight videos, I think it's a great format.

2021-08-12 16:31:59 +0000 UTCI'm very glad you hammer home that trans people ARE NOT NEW. It's like the bathroom issue. Where do you think trans people have been taking a shit since the dawn of humankind, Barb? None of this is new.

2021-08-07 15:15:54 +0000 UTCThis is a fun one but has a couple of problems with scope (transphobes never think they have opened a losing front and treat them actually losing the front as somehow unsporting) Ditum (not sure on pronunciation but have heard D-eye-tum and D-eet-um) herself recently linked this piece https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/feminism/2021/08/core-message-terry-pratchett-s-books-was-people-should-think-themselves in which a biographer of Pratchett hits many if the same points as you before landing on "We cannot know Pratchett’s views on the gender wars" which feels tauntingly close to self reflection until you learn it had apparently been the result of an edit https://twitter.com/20thcenturymarc/status /1422538377585377295 But gender critical twitter is like playing That One Scene from "Downfall" on a loop, hardly a surprise they are ordering about phantom arguments in the "trans debate".

2021-08-06 18:23:47 +0000 UTCFrom the Novel "The amazing Maurice and his educated Rodents": 'I want to see lots of cheeky stuff. Stealing the food out of cats' bowls, pies from under the cooks' noses-' '- false teeth from out of old men's mouths-' said a small rat, who seemed to be dancing on the spot while he stood there.

2021-08-06 18:18:33 +0000 UTCI can see that you were just reading it as it looks, but 'PG Wodehouse' is typically pronounced wood-house. Not that it matters either way, it's clear what you meant.
John MacDonald
2021-08-06 14:08:02 +0000 UTCI'm anticipating the pivot when some GC person realises Terry Pratchett identified as a humanist, smashes that together with the words 'trans rights', and comes out with 'Terry Pratchett was actually a transhumanist, so it's a good thing he doesn't agree with us actually!!'

2021-08-06 09:50:00 +0000 UTCoh I really liked this video, now I want to go and read monstrous regiment! I don't get the big fan joke though lol :-p

2021-08-06 05:20:54 +0000 UTCThis and the previous were very good. I thought what I enjoyed were the length of your videos, but I now realize it was the thoroughness and accuracy. You hit that right on the nail with this super shorty. Great stuff, Shaun!

Martha
2021-08-06 01:38:07 +0000 UTCI think it is really important for you to know that PG Wodehouse was pronounced "Woodhouse." I know there will be complaints if that is wrong in the public video, even though most of your audience may not be familiar with this.
Martha
2021-08-06 01:17:38 +0000 UTCOkay but why does the rat have dentures?
Paul Sheckarski
2021-08-06 00:16:59 +0000 UTCThis is excellent and also makes me want to go re-read Monstrous Regiment. <3 (Also I’m so glad that I’ve deleted Twitter on my phone and didn’t know this “””debate””” was a thing, because if I’d encountered it in the wild my head might have actually exploded.)

2021-08-05 23:46:15 +0000 UTCExperimenting with the format you used to do all the time before you moved into making full length dissertations : P
Hazel
2021-08-05 21:52:25 +0000 UTCSo good, I was thankfully unaware of the conversation but you said what needed to be said, and also please feel free to make a series of in-depth queer readings of Pratchett, I would listen all day every day

2021-08-05 21:32:50 +0000 UTCMonstrous Regiment was the first Pratchett book I read and is still my all-time favorite book. I fell in love with it before I knew I was trans and fell even more in love with it when I came to terms with who I am.

2021-08-05 19:54:47 +0000 UTCI've could have listen to Shaun talk about Terry Pratchett for hours

2021-08-05 19:21:10 +0000 UTCLoved it!
Michael Muto
2021-08-05 19:18:39 +0000 UTCExperiment succesful dude. Fun vid, I'd definitely watch more like this, whether that's more on books you like or dunking on bigotted twitter posters
Jacob
2021-08-05 19:18:18 +0000 UTCMe: Shaun made a short video? This won't take long to watch. Shaun: go read a whole book or I'm gonna spoil it
May Miao
2021-08-05 18:43:26 +0000 UTCYou know, I would listen to people just talk about Terry Pratchett books the way some youtubers talk about games
Clayton
2021-08-05 18:34:10 +0000 UTCThis may be the first time you've recommended something to your viewers that they'll enjoy, as opposed to three hour Stephan Molyneux slogs that are still fucking up my recommendations. Great video, and it's always nice to hear about Discworld, even if the impetus was stupid transphobia.
Andrew L Butula
2021-08-05 18:24:41 +0000 UTCThis is rad! You might note that it’s also weird to tell Gaiman that trans issues weren’t a thing back in the day, when he himself wrote a trans woman character in A Game of You in 1993.

2021-08-05 18:08:23 +0000 UTCI really liked this one!
