I think Jill Stein is a grifter Ophie Dokie 2024-10-08 | I'm here to be your normie lib friend and let you know why I don't think Jill Stein deserves even a conscience vote, as she doesn't really embody those throughout her political attempts. I try in this video to talk a hypothetical dem-curious voter through why people think Jill lost the 2016 election for the democrats, how Jill Stein courted antivaccine conspiracy theorists, and why, despite disagreeing with Kamala Harris' positions so far regarding Israel and Palestine, I am still more willing to vote for her than I am for Stein, because Donald Trump is the alternative. I did not, however, realize when I filmed that this video would be finished on 10/07, so I just feel a need to note that that's a conversation I kept intentionally brief in case you're expecting more from me than I am equipped to deliver. This isn't a huge deep dive- for more about why I think Jill Stein's advocacy for Gaza is more for her own optics than actual concern to fix things, you can find Noura Erakat's thread about declining the green party VP nomination when they refused to agree to her strategy: https://x.com/4noura/status/1824637069945147622?lang=enI support, have supported, and will support both a ceasefire and an arms embargo and a free Palestine, and I feel more assured that that support will eventually be heard and that pressure will eventually be felt under a Harris administration than that it ever would under a Trump administration, or, at the very least, that protesters will not be ripped of their right to vote in future elections under a Harris administration the way Trump promises. workingfamilies.org/ceasefire-trackeraljazeera.com/news/2024/4/6/us-democrats-urge-biden-to-halt-weapons-transfer-to-israel-amid-gaza-war thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4706646-donald-trump-says-chuck-schumer-has-become-like-a-palestinianapnews.com/article/trump-biden-israel-pr-hugh-hewitt-21faee332d95fec99652c112fbdcd35dwashingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/27/trump-israel-gaza-policy-donorscbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-jill-stein-nevada-ballotpeoplesworld.org/article/angela-davis-electing-harris-will-open-space-for-more-radical-strugglesslate.com/business/2016/07/jill-stein-continues-pandering-to-anti-vaxxers.htmlpeoplesworld.org/article/angela-davis-electing-harris-will-open-space-for-more-radical-struggles12ft.io/proxy?q=rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/the-case-against-jill-stein-251562
I wanna talk about the Diddy memes Ophie Dokie 2024-10-01 | it's a shorter one today, I just kind of wanted to voice some discomfort I've been having around some pretty egregious decentering of the victims in the Sean Combs case as everyone on social media focuses instead on memes about Baby Oil and Justin Bieber. I'm also nervous about conspiracy swallowing up discourse about domestic violence and sexual assault. Nobody asked even a little but this is kind of similar to me like a sister video to the Cody Ko one, not anywhere near a deep dive, just a knee jerk reaction to what I'm seeing and things I'd like to talk about in relation to that. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cassie-says-will-always-recovering-release-diddy-hotel-video-rcna153692instagram.com/p/C7T6OCKRJ-Wvanityfair.com/style/story/kim-porter-memoir-diddy-conspiraciesvariety.com/2024/music/news/kim-porter-children-al-b-sure-sean-combs-slam-fake-memoir-1236155647theguardian.com/global/commentisfree/article/2024/may/21/sean-combs-diddy-cassie-videovariety.com/2024/music/news/sean-diddy-combs-charged-with-sex-trafficking-racketeering-prostitution-1236147253thecut.com/article/diddy-allegations-sexual-abuse-cassie.htmlweb.archive.org/web/20240712212347/vulture.com/article/diddy-lawsuit-allegations-explainer.html

Alexa Nikolas deleted episode of Vulnerable, its fallout, and her hypocrisy Ophie Dokie 2024-09-19 | I went over this story in my first Eat Predators video but I've decided to go back over a lot of the first things I rolled into that first video now that I'm better at making videos. This video is about Alexa's deleted episode of Vulnerable, and about the Alexa Nikolas vs Christy Carlson Romano beef from 2023. I said one hundred thousand but it said 1000+ in Caeli's twitter thread, that's a misspeaking on my part, but the real number is onscreen with the tweet AND I'm not sure where I saw the Corey Feldman episode being november of 2023, looks like it was in the spring Corey was on Vulnerable but i struggled to pin down the right date since that episode has now been deleted lol - Alexa addressed it in the fall, that date is correct and to my knowledge so is the date of the vulnerable episode Corey Feldman was in. apologies for that! drenched in drama podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/466ct1kGxEAZxEXtnQ9bmC?si=9V9Kt3lMTDOPLTJbUbNAVgadam's videoyoutu.be/tMT4_0uTYLk?si=ax6DsJu3B7pl3q5scheyenne's video: youtu.be/NdJ7WMRXRzU?si=6-K7BnSjbogWLbSmvulnerable & deleted drake bell stream: https://x.com/ItEndsNow_Blog/status/1772292019517297023?t=ZhVv4uWc0_cX9vUuNjJp0Qhttps://x.com/ItEndsNow_Blog/status/1771576513378349495?t=eS9ZTLYWCPAAVoCiqUYfgwgonna add timestamps later tonight but I'm publishing on my way out the door to the doctor lol
Alexa Nikolas Leaks The Drive: Eat Predators new low Ophie Dokie 2024-09-14 | she leaked the drive. I'm mad about it. This video is a commentary podcast and not allegations of true facts, I'm telling you what I'm seeing on twitter and the fight I got into with her husband. I don't care that there was a freedom of information act already done for this information, that doesn't mean someone like Alexa should weaponize it like this. Alexa was not the one to request the FOIA for the Drake Bell 2021 Court Case and I don't understand why she did not provide the direct link either during her communications with Kat Tenbarge or in the last two days on twitter, but to be clear her narrative is still that she was not given the documents by Drake Bell, I propose a couple of other options for how I think she might have gotten them, but I say she didn't say how she got them at the end of the video and what I mean more accurately would be "without describing a realistic process through which she got them", since nobody else requesting the docs from the courthouse was directed to this police document record. No, I am not linking to it here. I have not downloaded or read them, I will not read them. I filmed this one quickly, and I'm sure this is going to keep escalating, but so many people aren't on twitter (good for you!) so here you go. Does literally anyone read these.

Not Everyone Has To Make a Cody Ko Video Right Now! [in defense of Jarvis Johnson] [commentary] Ophie Dokie 2024-07-17 | this video is on the shorter side, I'm concerned about what I think the discourse around D'Angelo Wallace's excellent recent video about Cody Ko and Tana Mongeau will be, and I'm concerned that the wrong people will be held accountable for things that aren't nearly as bad at what Cody has been accused of or his bestie has been convicted of. I think D'Angelo's video was fantastic but I think some people it's unfair to levy blame at are getting weird amounts of blame here.

I Wanna Talk About the Neil Gaiman Allegation Podcast Ophie Dokie 2024-07-14 | this is a video where I talk about the recent podcast MASTER: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman, Andrea Skinner's recent article about her mother Alice Munro, and the different ways the victims in both of these cases are being treated as a result of how they're treated in the media sharing their story. I believe Neil Gaiman's victims. I think harassing Amanda Palmer on their behalf is misguided. I think distrusting Rachel Johnson is fair, but I think we can do that without disregarding the victims allegations. 0:00 - 5:54 opening nuance 5:55 - 18:05 the allegations 18:06 - 30:18 criticizing the podcast 30:19 - 39:45 the Amanda Palmer of it all 39:46 - 50:25 Neil's response 50:26 -53:32 Alice Munro 53:33 - the conversation [You can gloss over most of even the summarized details if you skip "The allegations" and the initial "Alice Munro" situation!] Also sorry I crossed wires, Skinner's biological father owned the bookstore and not her stepfather/abuser. I also said we don't hear Amanda's response to the text messages and that was fully a failure of my own note taking -- Amanda responded something to the effect of "this entire situation is so fucked." This video was made before any additional complaints were brought forward-- there have been more allegations made against Neil by additional women in podcast episodes both from Tortoise and from another publisher. Those episodes didn't exist yet when I filmed/scripted/posted this. I'm planning on following up, but I'm not sure when I will. (Also I just don't think it's misogynistic to refer to Rachel Johnson as Boris Johnson's sister. You're telling me if Donald Trump's sister was a journalist and she never disagreed with his politics and also thought Ghislane Maxwell was an empathetic figure you would call me sexist for saying "It's fair not to trust Donald Trump's sister?" probably not. I said that because Boris Johnson is a more familiar name than Rachel Johnson is to someone not in a country like me where they're not exactly household names.)SOURCES: politicsdancingxyz.substack.com/p/manufacturing-consent?utm_medium=iosrollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/neil-gaiman-denies-sexual-assault-allegations-two-women-1235053131https://archive.is/2024.07.07-111321/https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/my-stepfather-sexually-abused-me-when-i-was-a-child-my-mother-alice-munro-chose/article_8415ba7c-3ae0-11ef-83f5-2369a808ea37.htmlpeople.com/music/neil-gaiman-amanda-palmer-rocky-timesmashable.com/article/neil-gaiman-amanda-palmer-goodreads-hack avclub.com/neil-gaiman-claims-his-goodreads-was-hacked-solely-to-l-1843365367genius.com/Amanda-palmer-whakanewha-lyricspodcast episode my friend wrote!! podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/trashy-breakups-bad-habit-amanda-palmer-and-neil-gaiman/id1447198778?i=1000569737706ko-fi.com/ophiewritespatreon.com/ophiedokie gofundme.com/f/urgent-help-us-stay-in-our-apartment?attribution_id=sl:a4f5ec93-49b7-4569-b71f-a74e2a608a67&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_ft&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link
the ethics of funding conversion therapy for youtube content Ophie Dokie 2024-07-04 | I tried to give the video I'm discussing in this video a fair shake but even after watching and even without disagreeing outright with anything said in the video, I still had concerns. I go over them in the video. Conversion therapy is child abuse. No content is worth giving someone selling a child abuse curriculum your money. resources: thetrevorproject.org/resources/guide/additional-resources thetrevorproject.org/ending-conversion-therapyprayawayfilm.com/resourcesCaelan's video: youtu.be/nBbOw_K6K5Q?si=tB0ruW2AFdN0NA49 (you should watch this entire series, it's so good)Trash's video: youtu.be/mi-lDYEtHq8?si=34Oag7PnDzdk18-N
ALIVE & WELL: The HIV/AIDS Denialist Death Cult that fooled the Foo Fighters Ophie Dokie 2024-06-29 | Dave Grohl took a shot at Taylor Swift and the Swifties dug up some RECIEPTS. I take a look into how their bassist fell for such dangerous misinformation and into the nonprofit "Alive And Well" the Foo Fighters performed a benefit show for back in the year 2000, seemingly based entirely on the testimony of Christine Maggiore, who died of AIDS related complications about a year and a half after the band scrubbed their involvement with her organization from their website. About 5 minutes after I finished editing this I learned that Dave Grohl has also supported Autism Speaks, which I would have disavowed while filming if I'd seen earlier. I hate Autism Speaks and anyone who fundraises for them is doing harmful medical misinformation.

RUTHLESS: The REAL Story Behind the Cemetery Angel of Arkansas [All The Young Men] [Scam Exposed] Ophie Dokie 2024-06-22 | Ruth Coker Burks, the "AIDS ANGEL" Of Hot Springs, Arkansas is a grifter. In this video I uncover some of her scams and I interview people who were in the area, who were providing resources to HIV/AIDS patients in Hot Springs, Arkansas at the time of the memoir All The Young Men. This video is a passion project and would not have been possible without the participation of Tim Looper or Mike Melancon. It is dedicated to the memory of Daymon Jones, another pioneer in AIDS treatment in Hot Springs, and we tell some of his story in the video, since Ruth neglected to do so in her memoir. We also talk about the upcoming stage production "ANGEL OF ARKANSAS", which promises to be ghoulish, and which we will discuss if it ever actually hits broadway after its previews. I thought I would finish uploading the video before midnight on the 21st, I say the video was uploaded the same day as previews but that was a deadline I also missed after my initial World AIDS day one. Mike Melancon's cashapp (this is specifically for the Tuggle Shelby Clinic, I confirmed with him when I asked how best to donate to their work.) $mikemelancon55 -- I'll make a community post the first time I get a payout after the Ruth video to let you know how much we raised to donate to the clinic that way and I'll make update posts there for subsequent months. for some reason my transcription says "the owner" on screen during the call when mike said "them" re: the hospital, to my understanding there's no specific owner of Mercy hospital in Hot Springsfindagrave.com/memorial/18121552/timothy_edward-gentryunitedwayouachitas.org/hot-springs-aids-resource-center-inc-dba-tuggle-clinicTim Looper's facebook: facebook.com/tim.looper.9 Tim's facebook live from the day he placed the new marker for Timothy Edward Gentry and Jimmy Gleason Kelly - facebook.com/share/v/uDe6o87r4KM6dyoECHAPTERS:0:00:00 - Dedication/Introduction0:09:42 - The Myth of Ruth0:20:07 - Tim Looper and Mike Melancon0:36:32 - All The Young Men pt 10:55:43 - Vodka Sponsored Short Film1:02:08 - The GoFundMe Grift1:10:58 - The Cemetery Lie1:16:55 - Eternally Together, At Peace1:33:11 - Ruth Coker Burks Disgusts Me1:47:38 - All The Young Men pt 22:11:35 - Not This Dumphole Town2:28:48 - Angel Of Arkansas, The Musical!2:42:28 - I'm Done Talking About Ruththank you to @Trash-Garbage-Trash for voicing the article pull, thank you again to Tim Looper and Mike Melancon, thank you again to Kit for diving into this with me ten months ago, thank you to Austin Gelder and Alexander Kacela for blowing this open in the first place. today.com/health/doubts-surround-viral-story-aids-angel-who-says-she-helped-t236351arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2021/07/08/ruth-coker-burks-and-the-missing-monumentarktimes.com/news/cover-stories/2015/01/08/ruth-coker-burks-the-cemetery-angel (FALSE ARTICLE) HIV RESOURCES: hiv.gov/federal-response/ending-the-hiv-epidemic/prep-program-resources hiv.govhivinfo.nih.gov/hiv-and-aids-resourcesryanwhite.hrsa.gov
All The Young Men Complaint Speedround Ophie Dokie 2024-06-10 | full Ruth Coker Burks video coming this month! I'm reviewing a book and a short film and a series of increasingly unlikely claims from a straight woman who has made her name by calling herself "The Cemetery Angel" and telling her story at the complete expense of actual HIV/AIDs related work still happening in Hot Springs, Arkansas. There are articles by Alexander Kacela and Austin Bailey that go over why I am so confident when I say her claims are increasingly unlikely. We will get into it in a video that's coming out this month.

checking in on fundiesnark, Bethany Beal, and Deconstruction Content [video essay] [analysis] Ophie Dokie 2024-06-01 | Hey! I've already talked about Girl Defined/Bethany Beal and Fundie Snark on my channel once before but I recently watched what I thought was a really fascinating collaboration video between her and Zelph On The Shelf and I was fascinated by the discussions around it on the reddit. I thought the Zelph video was great. I didn't use posts from the reddit other than that it's where I downloaded youtube comments from the AntiBot. I watched another AntiBot video after filming this and really liked that one too. I said I don't think I personally would have defended Paul of Paul and Morgan but I don't blame her for making that choice at all. That's pretty clear in the video, I'm overexplaining myself in here. As always this is my analysis/understanding/what I put together after seeing some stuff online and talking to my besties about it, I don't know all the information about all parties and made that pretty clear in the video, but I have nothing but support for the genuine desire to make deconstruction content and to distinguish that from Snark and I think both Taylor Antibot and Sam and Tanner Zelph On The Shelf are doing a really good job of that. (Camera was less steady on my desk than I thought sorry it's shaky in this! I'm trying to get it more stable in future videos. Audio should be better than in the beginning of the swoop video though)youtu.be/IqhWkOqqLFM?si=fuOksyhz10gtuayl youtu.be/zE5hip7BPYI?si=flDOCC7rOFRnPiqZyoutu.be/vNIvWkf8Uv8?si=m0mBI7GfSjIdqXcF my other girl defined video youtu.be/eUC0xn39ukA?si=BMvdxLyVpoEJyEDgpatreon.com/ophiedokieko-fi.com/ophiewrites
Im worried about the Tiktok Birthday Mom & So Should You [feminist analysis] [video essay] Ophie Dokie 2024-05-28 | This is a video about Elizabeth, tiktok’s Crying Birthday Cupcake Mom who was exposed by her former husband. Of course the internet hates women and nothing is as it seems, and this was a huge DARVO campaign, but that’s not how I’m worried this will be remembered. I wanted to make a video before the unnuanced version of this becomes common knowledge about this woman, who I am very concerned about. Think of it as an emergency nuance corner meeting. I'm heated in this one. Elizabeth's tiktok is @MoreThanElizabeth, you can find her there. I am not linking to the website where she is doxxed or to her ex husband's account.

how Swoop derailed the Toxic Gossip Train [analysis] [commentary video essay] Ophie Dokie 2024-05-25 | I have no ill will toward Swoop as a person but I've been aware of her for just around a year now and have felt as though I cannot criticize Alexa Nikolas as much as I did in my Eat Predators Deep Dives without talking about someone who does many of the same things more successfully. Do not go talk to her about this video, we can have our discussion here, she did not ask for me to critique her channel, I did so as commentary and for the sake of my own future content/my audience.

Quiet On Set is an extension of irresponsible Youtube True Crime Ophie Dokie 2024-05-05 | Quiet On Set, the recent HBO docuseries, is said to have been largely inspired by web coverage of what was happening at Nickelodeon.

Your Fave Is Problematic: in defense of outgrowing problematic discourse Ophie Dokie 2024-04-18 | I keep seeing really mean twitter memes about the tumblr account "Your Fave Is Problematic" and I wanted to talk about how we can grow from coming from unnuanced thought processes without having to carry Oppenheimer levels of shame for having participated in discourse as teenagers. Other people have talked about this far more comprehensively, this is a hang out. I don't think YFIP is how we should still participate in discourse but I also don't think it was the end of critical thought, for a lot of people, myself included, it was some of the beginning of that.

Alexa Nikolas, Drake Bell, Christy Carlson Romano, and why I cant stomach Eat Predators Ophie Dokie 2024-03-30 | this is a nuanced look at Eat Predators, an activist organization/youtube channel founded by Alexa Nikolas, and what I perceive as some of its shortcomings, including the fixation on "apology activism" and the forgiveness campaign for Drake Bell. My usage of clips from Eat Predators daily falls under "fair use" and it is not defamatory to hold activists to account for what they advocate for and the ways they do it. I do not discredit Alexa as a survivor for what she has lived through with her ex husband, with nickelodeon, with Dan Schneider, or with any other allegations she has made. I do, however, find something insidious about her brand of activism, and after she was able to distance herself so far from Christy Carlson Romano regarding their fight about Corey Feldman's episode of Vulnerable, the decision to like all of Drake Bell's posts and platform him so hard struck me as impossible to ignore. This is a feminist analysis and critique, and though it is meant to be constructive it is not meant to directly address Alexa or to ask for a response from her. more information about the troubled teen industry:unsilenced.org Cheyanne's video about Alexa and Christy Carlson Romano: youtube.com/watch?v=NdJ7WMRXRzUDear Hollywood episode one: youtube.com/watch?v=Klj3rGUuVVg&list=PLD9cqoP3xxcGiJKHxWwS0kO1EAqSf-qDE&index=2youtube.com/@RageGirlsPodcast/videosfind my sourcing and more nuance about those sources here:docs.google.com/document/d/1RLj0Pe6FdLgRa39LaTmhonZC1ulFSR2J2YSvp1xutFI/editbuy me a ko-fi if you want! ko-fi.com/ophiewrites

The Sapphic Urge to Subvert Taylor Swift: Lesbian Undertones in Reputation (video essay) Ophie Dokie 2024-03-17 | "Reputation" by Taylor Swift was almost certainly not intentionally written as a bisexual or lesbian narrative but I think subverting popular culture into something we can identify with is a cornerstone of the sapphic experience, and in this video I unpack my thoughts on the subject and give a little background for some of the theories that circulated this album when it existed as well as provide some examples of why I find it so compelling.LINKS!

I Wanna Talk About The Lesbian Masterdoc! (Video Essay) Ophie Dokie 2024-03-13 | POV you're my friend and I think we should maybe talk about the lesbian masterdoc because it seems like you might not really love dating boys..... None of this is meant to be prescriptive!!! I make these points in the video as well but please don't take any of this as me telling you what to do, bossing you around or thinking less of you if the conclusion you come to after questioning isn't that you're a lesbian forever, and please rest assured that I speak from a place of trans inclusion in my feminism and my lesbianism also, these comments are a moderated space. You're free to have whatever opinions you would like about what I say on my channel but you're not welcome to argue with other people sharing their experiences in my comment section and if I feel like what you're saying contributes to an unsupportive space I will delete it. If you did something unsupportive directly to another person in the comments you'll get hidden from the channel. I know who I'm in community with and will protect trans women and bisexual women and lesbians who have insecurities about their lesbianism.Donate to me on Ko-Fi, perhapsko-fi.com/ophiewritesCopy of AM I A LESBIAN?

feeling skeptical about the Wynonna Earp movie! Ophie Dokie 2024-03-07 | This isn't a video essay it's just an infodump about how much I love Wynonna Earp!! I've been watching a web series that reminds me a lot about Wynonna Earp and just felt like shaking out some of my thoughts about season 4 and my hesitance to be too excited about bringing back something with such hard won closure. Do you like shorter videos from me? Are you more here for the longer stuff? I'm still getting a feel for what kind of videos I wanna make, even if this type of video happens again in the future it definitely won't be my most frequent type of upload, but I could upload Very Often if we like little chats like this!

the Emma Approved Revival: Pemberly Digitals failed kickstarter and final Jane Austen adaptation Ophie Dokie 2024-03-05 | "Emma Approved" was a the follow up to Pemberly Digital's smash hit "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries." Emma Approved is a 2013 adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Emma. It was uploaded on the Pemberly Digital youtube channel and ran for 70 episodes, but it returned with a very short lived revival.I said in the video it was about five episodes but it was actually seven plus bonus content, you can find it all right here:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_ePOdU-b3xeohDlPLbdCy1FZYr1IdeKl SOURCES- deleted bernie SU doc/google hangout reddit.com/r/EmmaApproved/comments/1sdmab/ea_going_on_hiatus_for_at_least_5_weeks_at_end_of/?share_id=Ro9LWom4Xbi8gm163Xcj9&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1 When I posted asking if anyone had more information in the youtube drama reddit I was very generously provided with these: docs.google.com/document/d/18gS49b0lQJQk-LAwhDrRpmGPEvIl1PhIR6V1wNE5rGs/edit web.archive.org/web/20140409101840/http://www.laweekly.com/publicspectacle/2014/04/07/why-emma-approved-didnt-work-as-well-as-the-lizzie-bennet-diaries-did blog post addressing in world/out of world confusion from only five episodes into the run: pemberleydigital.tumblr.com/post/64296764902/faq-and-emma-approveds-videos-who-knows-aboutpatreon.com/EmmaApproved Emma Approved patreon, now defunctconsider supporting me on Patreon! ko-fi.com/ophiewrites EMAIL: ophiedokieyt@gmail.comCHAPTERS: 0:00 - introduction 6:03 - inside again
Emma Approved is Clueless: a study in Modern Jane Austen Adaptations [video essay] Ophie Dokie 2024-02-29 | Emma Approved was an Emmy award winning adaptation of Jane Austen's novel "Emma." Though it was a highly anticipated follow-up to Pemberly Digital's first series, "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries," I thought at the time and again as an adult that it lacked a lot of the magic the first adaptation had. That assessment is even more stark when you add in another adaptation. In this video I compare Emma Approved to 1995's Clueless, a movie I have infinitely more to say about than I got around to in this video, and I take a lot less time to do it than I did about Lizzie Bennet.
