Pleasantville and Moral Panics The Fat Culture Critic 2021-11-08 | Once Upon a Time, there was a fairytale that spoke about the nature of repression and oppression, that spoke to hope and humanism. Fairytales have a way of finding new meaning as times change, I've changed since I first watched this film and I saw new meanings in it and wanted to share my thoughts.

An experimental video about my ADHD The Fat Culture Critic 2021-10-17 | I've been too busy with coursework to get a proper video done, but I did make a video for a class that I thought I might share. It's quite different from my usual as it's an experiment I was trying for Feminist Art class. It's my attempt to sort of show elements of My ADHD from the inside by messing speed and editing. I'm not sure it worked but why not share it anyway.
Thank You for 2000 Subs and Comment Response The Fat Culture Critic 2021-09-06 | So my video was kind of popular. I was not prepared for this. I thought I would film a response to some comments as some people brought up things that needed clarification.

Follow Up Video: Apology for Misgendering Abigail Thorn The Fat Culture Critic 2021-09-01 | In my previous video, linked to this one I incorrectly used gender-neutral language for Ms. Thorn instead of gender-affirming language. I was kindly called in on that by some viewers and as I couldn't edit that video I recorded this one as an apology.
