Gonna try to do these month-of from now on. Sorry folks!

Anti Racism in Cartoons

THIS IS MY 22ND VIDEO, UPLOADED ON 18 NOVEMBER 2023

"Watch some oldies with me! These episodes/specials/movies were designed to build an anti-racist framework with young viewers, and have left an imprint on now fully functioning adults far and wide. I revisit my favorite examples and discuss each piece of work. This video does not contain any heavy criticism, and is not an in-depth analysis of these shows and movies. This video is intended to be a blast to the past case study on how un...

Rock it, Man!

THIS IS MY 21ST VIDEO, UPLOADED ON 9 MAY 2023

"Hey, Jamesy! Rock it, man! do, do do, yeah! I know you will..."

Anime Has a Fascism Problem

THIS IS MY 20TH VIDEO, UPLOADED ON 1 OCTOBER 2022

"Anime communities, much like many other communities, have been experiencing an invasion of alt-right and right wing extremist community members. I'm interested in the how and why. Why is this happening and how are these communities accommodating towards this belief system? Ultimately, I wish to help the viewer understand how these things are connected and to preach the importance of advocacy for marginalized communities within online s...

Donkey Kong is a Gorilla

"Look at this stinky "plumber." He has more money than you will ever hope for. Mario is a fraud and he will never be invited to my house party."

Non-Playable Characters (NPCs)

THIS IS MY 17TH VIDEO, UPLOADED ON 17 FEBRUARY 2022

"Come and take a journey through themes of alienation, hierarchy identification, and funny video-game memes to understand that your understanding of the world is completely manufactured through ruling-class dominance. Did I mention funny video-game memes?"

Why are SImulation VIdeogames Fun?

THIS IS MY 16TH VIDEO, UPLOADED ON 30 DECEMBER 2021

"Ever wonder why anyone would want to go home from work to play a video game that simulates work? Well, there is social theory to help explain this. Take a ride through a brief history of video games and take some class consciousness with you on your way out. NOTE: I was under the impression that Maxis was an EA subsidiary developer, and it is, but Maxis was acquired by EA after Sim Ant was developed. My bad."

Casual Modernity Definition

THIS IS MY 15TH VIDEO, UPLOADED ON 30 NOVEMBER 2021

"Trying this out, thought I would explain some of the ideas of modernity. I am going to release more videos like this fully realizing the subject. There are many more connections in places like religion, colonialism, the environment, globalism, etc to be made that are all a part of modernity. Until then chill with me and listen to me chitchat about modernity!"

Toontown Made Me Communist

THIS IS MY 13TH VIDEO, UPLOADED ON 16 NOV 2021

"Toons of the world unite? Yeah, my political outlook makes sense. Trying some editorial/structural changes. The next few videos I make will probably be awkward but whatever."

What's the Deal with French Fries?

Afghanistan and Call of Duty

THIS IS MY 11TH VIDEO, UPLOADED ON 20 AUGUST 2021

"Watch this Karen casually sum up the events leading up to the Taliban invasion of Kabul, Afghanistan. Moreover, this Karen will also link practices of media in the US to imperialist hegemony. Crack open a cold beverage and heat up some popcorn for this contemporary essay video."

Game Development Ethics and Unions

THIS IS MY 10TH VIDEO, UPLOADED ON 1 JULY 2021

"This one is for the video game nerds! Money seems to control the quality of product as well as every event leading up to and following the release of the product. In many circumstances this creates a good game, but there are all too many instances where the direct reason a video game stinks is because of profit maximization. A product of this, as well as a defining quality of capitalism is the exploitation of workers. Or in the case of vi...

Videogames Have a Feminism Problem

"New Year! I'm he/him cis het so my understandings of feminism and gender come from a powerful privilege."

DADDY SMURF????????????!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS MY 2ND VIDEO, POSTED ON 6 DECEMBER 2020

"This research has taken months to draw from and has presented the greatest challenge in the form of a question: Daddy smurf? The class hardships suffered by the smurfs in this nearly monogendered village has been framed around the hard work and raw sexual energy given from DADDY smurf and his constant fight against totalitarianism spiking popularity in society as a result of the rise of populism. I will attempt to tie all of this togethe...

Problems in the videogame entertainment industry: Intro/bias

MY FIRST VIDEO, POSTED ON NOV 19, 2020

"This opinion comes from a leftist. This is an intro to my social problems video series. My opinions are subject to change and these are just my observations, no sources are used so this is not a legitimate source of information. Just some fun gamer stuff and exploring sociological ideas in videogames. Maybe in one year I will revisit this video and talk about how bad my greenscreen editing was. #poggers #leftist #videogame"

June and July

Sorry I had to do a double shoutout! Things have been crazy. But trust me... we are soon to be so back.

Please let me know if I missed anyone!

DISCORD!!!!

I just made a discord! I think it automatically added y'all. I kinda wish that it sent out invites instead of just automatically adding y'all 😅 Anyways, hopefully everything works. I set up roles and a reaction agreement just so everyone accepts to the basic "don't be an asshole" agreement. I'm also adding another tier that is just "discord access."

PLEASE let me know if y'all have a hard time getting into the main channels. Thanks!

NEW VIDEO ABOUT BEAVERS

ALSO WE GOT A DISCORD DROPPING IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, BB. I'll let y'all know when I'm finished.

Sources coming as soon as I compile them into a doc. 

LMK what y'all think! 

P.S. I'm not a historian, so if you need 100% accuracy and a nuanced a-political narrative then uuuuuh.... don't be a nerd about it. But feel free to chat with me if I'm blatantly wrong about something. 

The Tale of Justjasonnnn

An insane project I tried out that was way too hard to keep going. I drew heavy inspiration from Alantutorial and Conner O'Malley's Vines. These videos are fucking insane and made my neighbors worried about me, so I hope you enjoy the descent into madness. This is the first copy of the video. I need to jump back in and add some length to the beginning intro texts and to add y'alls names to the patreon shoutout. That version is scheduled to drop on Youtube in one week. Enjoy, and as always, th...

Hey, folks! First of all, thank you so much for the support! It truly means the world to me. I will start unleashing some premium benefits such as 1 week early access to YouTube videos and discord access once I get around to making that! 

ANYWAYS, on the first of December I'm going to post a "Shout-out video" to TikTok and Instagram, and continue doing so on the first of each following month. If you want me to have your name be something other than your username on Patre...

Hey Y'all!
