Rolling around in pseudo-intellectualism about how opposing torture is hypocritical because have you seen A Clockwork Orange and a bunch of other drivel, but it doesn't make a coherent thesis in the end and she concludes by saying "I'm just a youtuber, idk man" like a complete asshole.

So pretty much a rerun of every other video she's made, but with a different thumbnail.

Opposing the depiction of sprite in movies and not opposing real torture right? Cause at this point i have to ask

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I mean real torture, though of course the "ethics" of depicting torture in movies is also discussed.

She's down with torturing irl people? Thats a lot

Somehow I get the feeling that her opinion on whether torture is justified is based on us-foreign-policy

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 12 points 15 hours ago

I don't think she really bothered to specify a positive stance so much as just attack opposition. She vaguely says that she'd like for things to be less cruel but basically declares rehabilitation to be just as cruel as punitive justice (have you seen A Clockwork Orange? that's definitely what that movie meant), and explicitly declines to actually give a suggestion on what should be done.

Perhaps you'd glean a different idea from her extremely rambling video "essay," but that's my best understanding of it.

Not terrible, honestly. Deep dives into pop culture of olde from a philosophical lens is much more in her wheelhouse than anything involving, yknow, contemporary geopolitics.

I figured she was more in her lane there, but like 7 years too late for that switch when everyone else did it
