If the Internet put as much pressure on politicians as they did celebrities maybe the world would actually change
Probably because we as humans are lazy 🙄 It's easier to leave a comment about a celebrity than to write an entire letter to a senator
@@Lenci_the_Nuggetso fucking real.
Or maybe if white Westerners would just stfu we wouldn't have to wade through hate comments all the time. I'm so sick of these young white people begging for celebrities to "talk" about an issue they don't nearly understand. Like imagine if they put all that energy into volunteering relief efforts to get food and water to refugees.... but nah, that requires real effort! Oh the horror!
People clearly seem to have forgotten that ACTivism requires ACTION. We must ACT. This isn't talkivism!
sometimes i think you guys don’t understand the world. i bet most americans couldn’t even name 4 senators rn LMAO so it is important for celebrities to speak up because so many people choose to isolate themselves from politics
@@brandi598EXACTLY
Let’s keep up this energy for white American male content creators. Mannyyyyyy many white American men on CZcams have said NOTHING about the genocide happening and are facing no backlash whatsoever.
I agree!!!
exactly
the answer is - the differences in audiences. male creators, if they arent overtly political, left leaning and "woke", tend to gather around themselves male audiences who arent into politics in the same way many female and lgbtq audiences tend to be. especially with brit who has talked about semi-political sociological topics who has gathered people who care about ongoing issues from a certain point of view. as someone who sometimes finds myself around hobbies that tend to gather majority of men, like gaming for example, your arguments wont even break through them because of innate differences in how things operate. yall will just sound like crazy twitter mob that tries to cancel a non-political creator and in turn be dismissed by them. especially from the outside
@@yannikovsky7041 you hit the nail on the head. If we really went after every creator especially white, who hasn’t commented on this then we’d actually be lunatics!
The issue is this is what Brittany built her brand on!! Out of all the creators I follow Brittany is actually the only person I’m hounding/cancelling because this contradicts her entire brand and philosophy!! Such a hypocrite
@@yannikovsky7041 it’s not being a “crazy Twitter mob” to ask famous people to use their platforms for awareness of genocide. Silence is violence even if you’re not a political content creator. This is how genocide happens, people that use the excuse of “that’s not my type of content” or “I don’t know enough about the topic” that allows the genocide to continue unchecked. As people with massive platforms, they hold much more power than the average social media user with no followers. They have the power to spread awareness much faster than non-influencers. Flat out refusing to use that position of power and influence during an ongoing genocide is wrong. Silence. Is. Violence. Period.
It’s interesting to acknowledge that Brittany received so much push back for not saying something but I haven’t seen that among most male creators of the same caliber
There are a lot of factors to consider other than it just being a girl vs boy thing
@@blueberrytoast4255Elborate what those factors are then
@noo77777 Well, one example would be that brittany frequently speaks out on political matters.. so not speaking up about this one is strange.. she also has said herself that if you have a platform, you have a responsibility to talk about things that matter.. so that's why she's receiving yhis backlash.. because she's being hypocritical
Which male creators are constantly claiming to be feminists and talk about politics? SHE said HERSELF “if you have a platform how dare you not speak up”
@@blueberrytoast4255 Actually, she has said that she understands why content creators remain silent, saying that they aren't experts.
Some people are legitimately more concerned with keeping track of which person did or did not speak out on an Excel spreadsheet than they are with the actual situation. They’re more outraged about someone not speaking than they are at the bodies carrying out the violence. People love to be outraged more than they like actually fixing a problem.
Literally this. If they took even an ounce of the effort they took berating and criticizing Brittany and put it onto politicians and those who have ACTUAL power, maybe things would start changing.
@@mundaneeveyou are clearly blind because everyone has been fighting hard against politicians. people being disappointed in an influencer is not changing that.
People are allowed to be disappointed, im not invalidating that. It's a different story when people are harassing her and trying to cancel her... @@funkunko
I think you're speaking about USA ppl mainly...cuz as someone from the global south her speaking up or not wouldn't change shit over the intensity of the support we have here for populations going through indescribable horrors with the usual blessings of the Western powers
SPREADING ONLINE AWARENESS ABOUT GENOCIDE THAT IS HARDLY REFERRED TO AS SUCH BY PROMINENT MEDIA IS MAKING A CHANGE AND HELPING FIX THE PROBLEM. it sucks that people listen to influencers more than they do to actual politicians but it’s true!
Not to undermine Brittany, her voice, or her platform at all, but everyone dogging her OUT for not being the leading force of online discourse on international conflict/genoc!de when she is primarily a comedian, is so far past ridiculous
100%. This girl is famous for making funny tiktoks making jokes about peepee poopoo and being thirsty about cosplayers and people are expecting her to now dedicate her platform to geopolitical activism? It is so ridiculous. This anger needs to be directed towards people who actually can stop this violence, like politicians.
it’s bc she goes so hard for women’s/lgbt and is SILENT on anything else
exactly
I get you however even she explains it here in the video that all we were expecting from her was a show of solidarity, which she herself has talked about is important from people with platforms such as hers. She is the only one that set that precedent for herself.
@@miraalfano1194that’s soo untrue it’s hilarious 😂😂
People care more about what celebrities have to say on an issue than they do about the issue itself. The priority is not what Brittany Broski thinks about genocide. The priority is the damn genocide. 1st world countries are so obsessed over maintaining an image of moral superiority that their actions towards helping others are almost entirely selfish.
So instead of talking about the GENOCIDE, Brittany is being forced to explain herself and APOLOGIZE for not giving her personal opinions on it. It's now about her, because people made it about her. That isn't her fault, either. People dangled her career over her head and bullied her into giving a performative statement. So now, to Brittany, this very serious issue has become about proving that she's a good person and having to take personal accountability.
agreed. the righteousness is insane
1000000% I couldn’t agree more
So many people need to see this comment. You explained it perfectly. Props to you 🙏
It’s not about focusing on her. It’s about Brittany benefitting from activism and being a complete hypocrite within her silence. That’s why people had an issue with her
People are dying in masses but let’s focus on reprimanding content creators for not talking about it fast enough instead of people who can actually do something like politicians! That will stop the war guys!
This should be top comment
But that would take actual action from people, instead of just bullying random comedians to do something for us 🥺 you guys why should we do anything when we can focus on making sure content creators get morally policed online??
literally
i can’t even begin to go into this rabbit hole of forced messaging. as a creator i can’t image the anxiety of using the wrong word, saying the wrong thing, being misinformed. i can’t. the way people came after you was ridiculous. “too serious of an issue to misspeak” is so real.
but yes showing solidarity at all with no added info is better than silence with your platform
totally agree with everything u said!!!
it's not difficult to take the time to develop a well informed opinion and then comment on it if that's a fear. an articulate take wasn't really necessary, just showing support earlier rather than be forced into it is what most people wanted I think
THIS. my anxiety is so bad i completely understood where she was coming from. but at the end of the day the important thing is that she DID speak and IS speaking out.
@@cartmanpilled this is so bare minimum after the video she posted on TikTok but if this is really how you guys feel that's fine because none of you were even mentioning that video in the slightest I just give up
misinformation and misplaced anger is SO dangerous. it does more harm than good. anger needs to be directed towards those in power - those responsible.
i 100% agree, especially all the misplaced anger i've seen the past few days to brittany in particular is so scary and literally dangerous. i'd rather creators and influencers wait to collect their thoughts and how to go about these sort of topics than spread misinformation from ignorance.
It feels so privileged to choose to centre your own upset at your “disappointing faves” reaction to a genocide during a genocide 😭
I always see it as such a waste. When people have time, energy, passion and righteous anger, and funnel it into something so useless.
100%! How are people mad at a girl who got famous on tiktok for reacting to kombucha and making jokes about peepee poopoo for not publicly engaging about a very complicated and political genocide and war? That’s not her job! The politicians should be getting everyone’s anger
Misinfo & misplaced anger, aka America 🥲 We're so reactionary by default bc the brainwashing starts so early & is so pervasive. Def read about "Manufacturing Consent", that's what's happening rn about the genocide against Palestinians. It's the same playbook they used during 9/11, too. Terrifying.
Girl if anyone thought that you didn’t care about this issue they are seeking aggravated engagement and have paid no attention to your intellectual or cultural capacities. You’re doing the right thing. Use your platform as you see correctly.
👏🏼
period
Exactly
YES
THIS. 💯
Girl the words you said, “solidarity and journalism is different” that’s what I have been unable to say but have wanted too! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
You're my favorite content creator. You're hilarious and smart and I never doubted for a second how you felt about the horrible things happening to Palestinians. It is amazing that you are sharing your stance publicly but just know that anyone who truly relates to you and your content was aware that of course you care and are saddened by the horrific things happening right now. ❤
That’s part of it too, as a fan of Brittany, I had no doubts about how she felt about the issue.
I don’t feel like she’s obligated to “speak” about anything, but if she chose to, i wouldn’t have been surprised either. Now that she’s been called out, she’s in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation.
I never a doubt that she would be fine about it either, but did she need to make that TikTok?
Her talent agency is Zionist.
Brittany said I'm better than hasanabi💀
I never doubted her for a second
oh boy, can't wait to see comments being mad that a tiktok comedian is not a geopolitical specialist
to chock her up to just a tiktok comedian is disrespectful of all of the other shit she does. she's been an activist and a vocal one for a long time. i don't think it's wrong that people had expectations of her and i think she knows that too. no one expects her to be a geopolitical expert. but the one thing that helps interrupt misinformation and propaganda is people with platforms like her speaking out on it. palestinians have BEGGED for people to just post. just use social media. just use their voices. so to boil it down to that false narrative isn't helpful to anybody, especially not her.
Exactly
People like you are so insufferable about this thing. WHO is mad that she's not a geopolitical specialist? Who?!
People don't want her personal opinion or analysis on anything.
We want her, as a white American with a platform, to amplify the voices of Palestinians. That's it.
People are also disappointed because Brittany herself said people like her have a responsibility to use their platforms for good.
The first thing she said is you don’t need all of that to simply show solidarity
you don’t need to be a geopolitical specialist to speak out against a GENOCIDE. are you fr???
I appreciate that you're respectful about the issue while also steering the conversation to where it should be: the government.
I think we’ve established that the majority of governments and politicians aren’t planning on doing sh*t.
At this point people are focusing on populist/grassroots movements to put pressure on our administration because this gives us the leverage we don’t have within the political establishment.
@@htcheeto420 that is the type of mindset that will prevent pressure
@@lyndarivera8778furthermore, they’re also one of the people that asked Britney to speak on this issue lol
@@lyndarivera8778 both is good
she invented political engagement
Brittany I also miss college classes and I just wanted to say that your videos help fill that void for me! These podcast eps feel like I’m listening to one of my lovely peers in a class discussion. Thanks for being one of the most fun & educational people on this godforsaken website ❤
I think Brittany hit the nail on the head with her distinction between solidarity and academic researched information... Yes people can get pretty crazy with their insistence that people speak out but it also *is* really important that people with platforms do speak out, *especially* on this issue that the mainstream media has utterly failed at. I disagree with people saying this shouldn't have been necessary, and I *do* think this was a necessary apology, even if people maybe went a little too hard on her.
I never ‘expect’ Brittany to speak on issues such as these but I always appreciate when she does. When something as devastating as what’s currently happening is occurring I can 100% understand being scared of saying the wrong thing all while grieving and raging over the same situation. I’d rather see someone genuinely take their time to speak out rather than blindly hopping in the conversation
Funny how she’s never scared about saying the wrong things on so many other issues. She’s spent 60% of these podcasts talking about oppression, women’s rights, racism, religious trauma, and all the wrongs of the world. But suddenly when it comes time to speak about this one issue she went SILENT.
And before you say she was “scared” to say the wrong thing- remember that she is a college-educated and very OBVIOUSLY well-read person in general. If she was so scared she could’ve just informed herself and out aside the stupidity of fear in the face of genocide. All excuses
@@choblgobblrr1074 Hope you keep this energy for our politicians.
thing is… no one should need to take a month to figure out if genocide is bad or not 😭😭
@@choblgobblrr1074 genuinely, what do you expect of her now? She took too long, addressed it, and now what? I’m not trying to be a smart ass, I’m fr trying to understand. Because now she is saying something and providing resources like people wanted early on
Those are things that she's grown up around and have actively had to think about and work through? And I've got a MA in philosophy, am fairly tied into news, and I still don't understand the entirety of the conflict. What will her saying its genocide accomplish? "Spreading awareness" isn't really needed when thousands of people in the US are protesting, it has constant news coverage, and constant online discussion. She can jump in if she wants, but so weird to get mad at her if she doesn't feel comfortable saying something that will be online forever about an issue she may not fully understand.@@choblgobblrr1074
i understand and AGREE with the expectation to use your platform to spread awareness but brittany NAILED it when she was encouraging people to contact elected officials. SHE IS NOT A POLITICIAN!!!! her voice HELPS but she isn’t the one that’s actually gonna be able to do something. the people IN OFFICE will. We have taken it too far in terms of what we expect our favorite creators to do in times of international crisis. it’s better to speak when you’re ready and educated then to speak blindly on an issue to save your image or appease your fan base and say something possibly incorrect or insensitive imo.
!!!
why do you type like greg heffley
@@twizzzzeLMAOOO
GENOCIDE IS NOT POLITICS
@@RysoHQthe point ->
You
To the people who are STILL not satisfied after she’s spoken up about this, this is to you…
Get a literal grip. Brittany was waiting to speak about it until she felt more informed and then one of her close friends leaked her video and she was forced into rushing a speech about it and then people said it was disingenuous. I respect people who come out and admit they don’t know enough about a situation to be speaking on it which is exactly what she was saying, she wanted to be informed enough to make sense because she does know how impactful her words are and the pressure that is put on her because of it.
You people are putting WAY too much faith in these influencers. You’re putting all this effort into sharting on Brittany instead of doing literally anything to help.
Brittany is very familiar with gay rights and feminism and racism enough to speak on these things. Speaking on THIS is so severely different so you can not compare them whatsoever. It’s important to be informed before speaking to millions of your followers because they’re going to go on to repeat what she says.
And I don’t wanna hear about “well she has such a huge platform ..blah bleh BLEGHH”. She doesn’t have a bigger platform then let’s say…Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Will Smith, and all these high up celebrities who (no offense but) have no idea who Brittany even is, who have even BIGGER/MASSIVE platforms, fans, and ears, yet no one’s mentioning them whatsoever. Those celebrities could speak up on actual television/ or talk shows and reach way more people than a CZcamsr/Tiktoker. Honestly Brittany is the only one I’ve seen being attacked for this. Why is that?
If you would put half of the effort into actually helping by calling, writing in to our elected officials as you’re putting into this activism performance and the copy and pasting bandwagon you’ve hopped on, you might actually could make some sort of difference. How can you be so blind to that fact?
I can almost guarantee that you do not actually speak about this genocide in your everyday life outside of the internet, and honestly I’ll bet even more that you don’t actually care that much about it. You just want to try and make a point for clout because it’s trendy right now which is so incredibly atrocious.
Get your life together I beg of you guys.
it's crazy how Brittany gave the tik tok warriors what they wanted and addressed a very heavy topic before a silly goofy podcast and it was JUST as dystopian as Brittany said it would be....
youre right lmao she was as disingenuous as she said she would be
@@JoeSnoe126If she’s so disingenuous why are you even here? Your content reflects who YOU are. If she ‘didn’t care’ then neither do you.
@@JoeSnoe126 what do you want her to do?? Roll over and die???...you people chirp all day and night about doing the right thing but when someone apologizes and says they'll do better, you don't accept it,,,, what do you want her to do???
@1010AAG she was in a no win situation. People are never happy so now they will complain and say her speaking about it is disingenuous, she only did it because she was forced to, and she still took too long. It is ridiculous
girl you sound so dumb like thank you for this laugh@@1010AAG
based on your previous content and interviews, i took your “this is like an episode of black mirror, they want me, a comedian, to speak because i have a blue tick!!!” video to be an expression of irritation at systemic GOVERNMENTAL failure, rather than anger at people wanting you to speak.
i feel like anyone who’s watched you regularly (esp this podcast) would’ve seen you discuss human rights several times, and already know what you’re advocating for. you’ve always made it obvious what your thoughts on solidarity are. also, your audience is largely progressive, so you’d be preaching to the choir.
Same, bc that's exactly what she was saying! I guess someone clipped it unfairly. As well as took it out of context. Anyone who watches Brittany knows she's OBVS against genocide, ffs. Just outrage merchants.
its that people wanted solidarity and she said nothing. while we can take her close friends story how you took it, we can also take it as someone who is angry that people want public solidarity from her
Exactly my interpretation as well and I feel like anyone who engages with her content regularly would see that
I feel like the anger was completely misinterpreting her as a person and context
I will never understand why we look to influencers like this to validate our opinion. I knew she cared, I didn’t need her vocalize it.
its not about "validating our opinion" its about spreading the message. the reason we look to influencers is because their voice is louder than ours, they have a bigger platform and they can reach more people than we can, which is why we urge influencers to at least say something, to tell people to call their senators and to participate in protests and boycotts. you cant just say we "need our opinions validated" by influencers because that is not at ALL what is happening.
@@fairycultistRIGHT it actually enrages me that ppl cant see this and are being obtuse about. NONE of us are like”uh brittany can u tell us about it bc i don’t know what going on and i need to learn it from you” NOO WE KNOWWWW. idky it’s so hard for ppl to grasp. ig they just can’t fathom their fav creator doing something wrong
Why are y’all so out of touch??? y’all never heard of spreading awareness?? solidarity??
i think people look specifically to Brittany because she’s been such an advocate for people who look like her, people expect her to extend that advocacy to others. it’s not okay for people to be commenting hate, but asking her nicely for her to share her opinion on genocide should not be “dystopian” the fact that genocide is occurring right now is what’s dystopian.
And what if it was a dog shit opinion? And she spread hate to millions of people? Why hound a girl who talks about ghost edits to speak on a complicated geopolitical issue that has spanned near 100 years? She can't give much more information than what 99% of her audience already knows. @@fairycultist
helplessness is easy when we feel so far removed from the situation and it makes so much sense that she feels that way. the easiest way to combat it is to look towards the palestinians faith and courage during this entire month. even if you're not sure what you should say (when everyone is forcing her to come out with something), simply providing resources and directing the conversation towards the people who have took charge of this situation is so helpful. love u brittany
Every time I watch your videos, my worldview opens up more and more. Reading Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath right now, and watching Un Chien Andalou. It's like a fun history/pop culture class every episode, so I thank you for that miss prez
I legit learn something every episode. Even if it’s small things I thought I knew but then she’ll do a deep dive and I’m like THANK U.
i do not look to brittany or any influencer that i follow or watch for political input for every point she gave as to why she hasn’t . i hold my politicians to that standard. i come to her page to laugh. she is doing everything right.
Literally nobody does??? it’s just for more awareness and solidarity. What don’t y’all understand about that
@@bunimyu1878 Where is the limit to the awareness and solidarity? Are the fans and critics already not aware of the situation? And now she had already spoken about it in this video and held herself accountable. What more do you want to satisfy the issue?
@@MephyytHISSSSSSSSSSSSS
White stance
Amen to this! It’s as if people turn to those they follow on social media to inform them about how to feel. The absurdity of thinking a blanket statement of support or whatever is worth something is the same bs “thoughts and prayers” expectation we all know to expect from politicians after a tragedy.
Two years ago we bought our house and found out that our neighbor across our street was a local politician. Last year she was elected State Senator for our district. I simply cannot tell you the impact of knowing who represents you, knowing the issues they care about, knowing where they get their information. I'm constantly telling her about issues I care about. My 12-year old daughter writes her a letter every couple of months with all of the issues she wants to get heard. Obviously, we're in unique circumstance. But it's totally changed my option on the daunting "call your senator" messaging.
This is very important! I stayed with a nice rich Mormon family for a while. They lived right next to Oregon politicians like the senator. I went to school with the senator’s daughter, she was racist and very “popular girl” stereotype. It was very disappointing, I should have told on her lol.
Brittany said I'm better than hasanabi💀
brittany, could you do an episode with your mom where you talk about ghosts, everything paranormal and things from "the other side"? i would love see that. its so entertaining and interesting to hear you guys talk about those things and hear about your moms experiences! love you girl
I would absolutely love to see this! I'm sure she has so many cool stories
THISSSS
Omg seconded!! Please!
Seconded but you might need to comment this on another video, I have a feeling this one will get lost in the political comments
I think she did this before! A couple years ago maybe.
"How do I take my rage and devastation at what is happening and show it." Evergreen indeed. You rock. Thank you.
it’s wild to me that people complain when you don’t speak and then complain and call you insincere when you do speak. you cannot win with those people. you can’t demand an apology from someone and then slap them in the face when they give it
She literally only spoke up after a video was leaked of her complaining that people expected her to speak up. She was expected to speak up cause she has made it a point,.multiple times now, that content creators have an obligation to use their platforms to speak up about issues, especially in her case. She built a large part of her brand being a supposed ally, no one is out for blood, the consensus is that Brittany doesn't want to be held to the standards she set for herself and those like her.

Broski. Thanks for highlighting the fact that as a non-American you're EXPECTED to speak multiple languages, but as an American, you're celebrated for speaking multiple languages.
It's the bare minimum to speak one language, everyone should strive to become more fluent in other languages. It's the way to expand your worldview when you can't travel.
She means people of color, which can include Americans. Don’t forget there are a lot of white non-Americans who speak multiple languages but get praised like they’re smart, but poc Americans who speak multiple languages get told to go back to their countries, even though they were born in America.

Why don’t we hold the men on the platform to the same standards? Many of which have gotten away with carrying on with normal content with no backlash.
say it even louder please!!
because i dont give a damn about the men on the platform. i care about brittany and what she has to say, as someone who has constantly said again and again that influencers have a responsibility to speak about things like this. these views have cultivated an audience of activists so i dont know why anyone is surprised that brittany is getting a lot of backlash. she set herself up to be better. we expected her to be better.
I mean the criticism is valid. And at the same time I definitely agree. But first of all sexism. And second of all the audience. This audience here cares about such topics. The men have an audience that would never even uphold them to a standard where they have to think before they speak let alone speak on important social issues that are happening in the world. Like they could speak the most problematic shit and none of the audience would even begin to criticize and question it. So of course they won’t ever think to bring something like this up
I love the way you addressed the issue. With the way social media is being used as a weapon, it's really hard to figure out the "most moral" view to have, and who to side with, but the way you addressed it as "I don't know everything about this situation, but people are suffering and I am not ok with that", was so real and shines a light on the idea of standing against the violence and suffering, no matter who the victim is. with everything going on and how helpless people already feel, the conflict between peoples opinions is so overwhelming and discouraging, and with people on the internet always competing to be the "most moral" or "best educated", it's so comforting to see someone say "I am doing the best I can in the position I'm in, and at the same time, it's a lot and I don't know everything, but what I do know is that I do not stand for violence". Very mature and honest response.
People need to stop asking social media influencers about politics. They aren't politicians, they aren't the president, they're normal people.

Something I've learnt as I've gotten older: If you care about these issues I'd suggest finding a local activist group or a protest to attend. Put your effort into places where it will actually be visible to the people who are making these decisions, and maybe more importantly, visible to the people who need our solidarity. Social media stars and celebrities - just because they're at the centre of YOUR world - doesn't mean they have, in the bigger picture, the right influence and outreach (or knowledge) to spark anything meaningful. Social media is a powerful tool for activism but in the end, no policy maker is thoughtfully scrolling down those analysis threads on Twitter. Rather than encouraging a social media personality to speak for you, group together visibly with others.
literally this. they seem to think that just because she’s now put out a statement it’s all gonna go away or someone in power is gonna be “moved” by it or something.
Really well said. Democracy is people in the streets, not the comment section.
Well said! This needs to be pinned.
@@zadman49Wtf are you talking about? Social media is enormous in todays social movements. It literally makes or breaks a social movement.
You lost the mark completely.
I truly do not understand the need for influencers to have to come out and speak on every issue. If you have watched Brittany long enough you know where she stands. I don’t think it’s their job to autofill their influencers opinion on worldly topics. If anything Brittany herself has shown her audience how to think critically, she has taught y’all to fish. You shouldn’t expect her to bring the fish to you now. Topics like these are complex, we don’t need a communications major explaining a huge political issue. I agree with Brittany we need to look to our elected politicians the people we have chosen to represent us, and if you have a problem with what they are saying or not saying then vote them out! Brittany thank you for shining a light on this topic, I appreciate the change you make in the world.
She set the standard shes being held to now tho by saying people with a platform should speak up.. sooooooo....
"why do people expect her to speak about-" Brittany literally said HERSELF in a podcast episode that famous people have a responsibility to use their platform for important issues... y'all want her to be a hypocrite?
They don’t care
Using your platform doesn’t mean you owe agreeable commentary by xyz date.
!
@@strawberrycherrybabyso when should she have spoken up? When another 11k Palestinians die? She's had over a month to do some basic research...
I agree that she should have spoken up but it’s lunacy that people seemed to care more about her acknowledgment of the situation than the situation itself. Her apology and statement were very well thought out and centered the conversation off of celebrities and onto government officials.
I went to New Orleans the week of Halloween, and because of your story of talking to that man on the plane, instead of keeping to myself, any time someone tried talking to me, I engaged and listened and all in all had a much more meaningful and connected experience because I kept telling myself to "yes and" in every situation. Thank you Brittany. And thank you for using your platform to speak out. Love you.
Which episode was the story of the plane man? Glad you had a good experience 💕
What story about a man on the plane?
I did the same thing in an antique store the other day. I’m 32 and I like searching for vintage kitchenware. I noticed an elderly lady shopping as well and saw that she had old books and magazines in her shopping basket. So instead of doing the usual “smile and walk by🙂”, I asked her if she likes to collect old books. And this lady and I stood there for about 20 minutes while she told me stories about how these books and magazines reminded her of her of reading them in her childhood and how they make her feel like a teenage girl all over again🥹. By the end of the conversation, I was asking her if she’d adopt me😂. It was such a feel-good sweet conversation with a stranger. Just goes to show you that everyone is a story and a work of art in and of themselves❤️
@@Juliamh2222Yessss!!! That was my exact feeling!!! 💓
@@AlexisBii"Texan Ghost Stories & Plussize Kylo Ren" is the name of the episode and the timestamp is 42:05!
This got out of hand to the point where we all gotta take a step back and ask why are ppl looking to celebrities/influencers for political views? Yes they should use their platform for good and exposure but we shouldn’t be holding them to such a standard. It says waaaay more about you that you care this much about a random person on the internet’s opinion.
exactly my thoughts about the situation
brittany has literally made a statement on her podcast before about how those that have a public platform and influence over their fanbase should voice their solidarity for social injustices, smth along the lines of “how dare you not use your platform to give a voice to others”
“Yes they should use their platform for good” okay so why didn’t you hold her to that standard? Why is there even a but after your statement? She did exactly what was asked of her and it took 3 minutes. She doesn’t need to be babied she is a grown woman and knows she should have stood in solidarity with those people publicly.
@@pensive7676 In which she spoke about DOMESTIC related issues, she's never spoken about any issue on a global scale (the US isn't the world), that requires immense researching and nuance to be able to speak about, this is the same. It's a foreign geopolitical conflict spanning over decades with so much misinformation and propaganda thrown around which makes it even harder to speak about. There's literally 10+ active conflicts happening in the world but people only care about demanding she speaks about one in particular, why? Because it's all over the news now.
Part of me wonders if people wait for their faves to speak out on issues to figure out where they stand on it themselves rather than forming their own opinions, which would explain the heat on influences and not the people who have any political power.
I just wanna say that this podcast has really made me push my understanding on a lot of topics that I either knew too little of or ignored because I didn’t want to fall in a negative (depressive) state after hearing.
Thank you.
what i love the most about you is how you are able to speak what’s on my mind in a way that is so much more eloquent than i could ever express. this event is heartbreaking and tragic and leaves me heartbroken and without words able to express that heartbreak. you are a breath of fresh air in this cruel world
I honestly, truly think this issue is so sensitive and people are (rightfully) angry and upset and looking for anywhere to expend that emotion. Yes influencers should speak up, but the way you were individually ganged up on compared to other influencers is honestly disheartening and I hope it doesn't discourage you from posting.
this!! i saw so many comments from people who follow a NUMBER of problematic influencers/celebrities/people in general and when i pointed it out they deleted their comments..
Fr I did not see the same gang going after anyone else
@@olivejuice5772I haven’t even seen people get this mad over politicians or even the PRESIDENT. People who everyone can here, people who can actually do something.
influencers have a big platform, but they’re not obligated to speak on such sensitive topics! they’re not politicians, they are merely people on the internet.
Well, now I'm even prouder to be a part of the Broski nation. Well done, Brittany. You're standing on the right side of history.
someone in the comments mention it and i agree.. it needs to be amplified! that the same pressure yall came at her (or any other woman) needs to be applied to WHITE MALES on youtube, tiktok, Instagram.. EVERYWHERE. I'm tired of men not getting the threats like women do.
People whining about ‘but she built her platform on solidarity’ as if that means now they decide what she has to openly show solidarity for. Women get all the hate for this because we’re the only ones who care. Male content creators get cancelled every day over actual issues and still don’t actually ‘fall off’. How many times have we cancelled Jeffrey Starr or Shane Dawson? 🙄
I think its important to make the distinction that nobody was "needing" her to validate them. Its simply about using your platform for solidarity and bringing it to the attention of her millions of viewers, some of whom might not know anything about this and now will be interested in learning. Of course it is the government's job to do something about this, but public pressure is part of that. We need as many people as possible speaking up. Solidarity is, after all, free.
I've realized over time that this podcast feels the same way that sitting with my friends in college and discussing our ideas and classes felt.
YES EXACTLY
Rather than berating your fav social media personality to talk about an international war, go volunteer in your community, donate to relief funds and organizations, call your representative. Participate in the *real world*
and people can do those things, and still be disappointed in a creator who's spoken up about multiple other social and political issues, and who's suddenly silent during a genocide.
@@nina.robbs565just go outside
@@nina.robbs565 yeah until we don’t keep up those same standards for every creator ever
@@meow_town420I’m sure to the people informed or engaged on a surface level it would appear that way.
most of us actively engaging and protesting are actually sick of nearly all of these creators - we’ve been mass unfollowing/boycotting “neutral” creators who are too worried about their money to make a definitive statement as well as those who are outspoken about their support of Isr**l/IDF.
There’s a reason posts are shared detailing who has made statements and who hasn’t- it’s another form of boycott.
@@htcheeto420100%
I feel so bad for the influencers that have to go through this. Influencers not only influence but entertain. I am waiting EVERY WEEK for this podcast. It’s one of the main highlights of my week. It’s also like most people who are online already know what’s going on or should. So having your fav influencers posting as normal helps you kinda get your mind off the extreme hopelessness and helplessness
Imagine wanting to be distracted from a genocide. Would you feel that way if they were your family members?
This is a crazy thing to write
I CARE! Hey Brittany I'm currently studying Art in college and really enjoy when you talk about art history as well as cultural things you've learned about and experienced, I would love to see more videos on topics such as these! Your Art History videos are my favorite I rewatch them all the time, love you so much you're the absolute best
People often forget you're a person too, you can make mistakes, you can learn from them. The pressure you feel is real, and your feelings are valid, please I know times are tough, and you have a platform to use but leave room for your mental health and rest. You are doing the best that you can, and that's okay! Hay quien entiende y hay otros que le buscan las 3 pies al gato, te queremos
that part !!
What mistake did she make?
@@alancarroll7648 the mistake was to ever speak on any political or humane matter because unfortunately it is now expected of her to use her platform to appease the mob
@@missbrunette7735 literally this… she’s forever going to be their scapegoat now, to bash and judge when she doesn’t immediately give them the response they want.
As someone who’s genuinely a fan, I’m so sorry that you felt pressured to speak on something so dark. The notion of DEMANDING anyone to verbalize their stance on any issue is sick. If they speak on it, cool. If they don’t, I’ll turn to one of the OTHER hundreds of other celebrities and influencers I follow. Not to mention..your fans KNOW your heart is in a good place. We don’t have to WONDER where Brittany’s heart is because we already know it’s in the right place. Brittany has proven that time and time again and I’m just so disappointed to see people running at her with torches and pitch forks because (god forbid) she took longer than you would’ve liked to say something about something that she NEVER NEEDED to speak on in the first place. Feel free to leave me nasty comments below, I won’t be reading them. But I really think that society needs to rethink the way that they demand statements from people with influence. It’s honestly so counterintuitive to BULLY someone into saying something.
THIS!!!! THIS!!!! I want to shout this from the rooftops!!!
This
100% agree.
She herself said previously “If you have a platform you have people’s ear, you have their attention. How dare you not speak about things that matter?” If Brittany doesn’t want to be held to a certain standard, she shouldn’t endorse it.
@@Rachel-sm7ym i agree with that also but nobody is perfect
I cannot tell you how much peace of mind and mental fortitude I have gained from your videos. Just having a break from the situation (and me having faltering mental health is not going to save anyone ). I now open my TikTok once a day and I donate once a day and I share once a day and then I close it and then I consume media that prioritizes laughter. Me having a failing mental health state is not going to change the crisis. And I'm giving my self-permission to get involved whenever I can and to step away whenever it is best for me to stay functional. Your comedic videos have given me an opportunity to experience laughter and joy during a time of immense sadness and mourning. Thank you for saying something about what is happening, every voice is so important. But also thank you for being a space where I can have a sense of normality while the world is on fire. ❤
to the ppl in the comments saying we didnt expect brittany to speak on it anyways or "its ok! influencers shouldnt be pressured to blah blah" it is so hypocritical of u to say when brittany has set this precedent for herself episodes back, and we as her fans PRAISE her for speaking on certain issues. we cannot just suddenly decide "oh its ok u didnt speak on this issue because it doesnt directly impact us!". of course its important for her to take time to educate herself on it but she HERSELF is saying she made a mistake and as an audience we need to be able to hold our favorites accountable so that they can learn as well. what we are not to do is MAKE the excuses brittany herself JUST said she does not want to be made bc she admits she did wrong!! While we shouldn't expect influencers to suddenly be the all to our news sources and politics, it changes when its a creator who preaches so much on using their platform. Im glad brittany u are using ur platform NOW but i really hope you reflect on the video you made on your close friends list about WHY we do actually expect u to speak on it "just because u have a checkmark and millions" bc thats actually EXACTLY why we do expect a voice. and I can only hope u feel genuine about your support for palestinine and not just because u were called out as i dont know you personally! What i will finally say is that the people who completely deem ur support ingenuine and dont care to see that you can learn and grow JUST bc of that cfl video are also hypocritical as even if it was disingenuous, you are still spreading the message we need spread. hope we all keep learning together!
YES THANK YOU ! Some of these comments are truuuly frustrating to read. Let's keep learning together.
Korean films are such an unexplored topic that needs to be talked about more!! They're an incredibly developed source of film culture and storytelling - watch more foreign films ya'll it's so so worth it
Are Korean films better than their TV shows? I find that every Korean TV show I've ever passed by is super dramatized and cliché. Just once I'd like to watch something in Korean that isn't about beauty, love triangles, or high school bullying lmao. (I think Attorney Woo is the ONLY Korean show that didn't meet these top 3 clichés, and honestly it is the only Korean show I ever finished or liked.)
@@nomoretwitterhandlesyes . park chan wook and bong joon ho both have good movies that have some mainstream success in the us. theyre a good place to start

Couldn’t agree more!!
real.
oh but some people were fucking monsters on tiktok, and I can imagine knowing Britanny was having mental health troubles and reading what nasty stuff people were saying.
@@thesilph Well tbh those people can choke lol. TikTok comments aren't going to save anyone, and it just goes to show you how anyone thinks they're an activist these days.
Thing is, activism literally requires ACTION. ACTivism = ACTION. "Talking" isn't acting upon what's right; it's entirely performative.
We already knew Brittany's stance--she has a brain and is thus clearly against unwarranted murder. Why can't these fake fans just look up the issues themselves and help where they can? Oh, right... because that requires action. And they aren't activists. 😂
Brittany, your feelings and thoughts make complete sense to me. I'm so sorry that you feel this pressure and guilt that isn't yours, but I also understand and completely agree that your voice is a resource and makes a difference.
I feel like I fell in love with you when you stated that you stand with Palestinians. You are an absolute breath of fresh air to this forsaken online environment. I too am easily funny and opinionated, and you inspire me to get to that point where I can share my voice to make a difference for others thru content. Pending more self esteem.
You're literally the most genuine, funny and relatable creator. Also thanks for the reccomendation of Rough Day. I haven't felt like a fizzy teenager in fanfiction for such a long time 😂🎉
I've had the same experience with my Spanish teacher! Shes my current teacher and this is my second year having her, and each year has been a treat, she really makes me feel like I'm learning and applying. It's awesome!
It’s dystopian that we are pressuring influencers but not politicians as hard. Yes it is very good to have support from people with platform. But ALL of that anger should not only put on these celebrities/influencers. That’s exactly what politicians want. They want us distracted and to fight between us.
PEOPLE ARE THOUGH! WE HAVE BEEN PRESSURING POLITICIANS LIKE FUCKING CRAZY BUT AS SOON AS SOMEONE CRITIQUES AN INFLUENCER ITS ALL “ YALL FOCUSING IN THE WRONG STUFF” ALL PEOPLE ASK FOR IS SOLIDARITY
People are putting pressure on politicians though. It’s been something people have been encouraging and doing. Why do you think there are protests happening? Why do you guys keep trying to keep using this argument when it’s something people are literally doing??? People aren’t asking her to fix the issue they’re asking her to show some solidarity
@@funkunko i'm going crazy with these comments... and they're all white girls
who said we're not also holding politicians accountable?
@@salmasaid6217the white girl apocalypse is real
people live in a black and white world where two things cannot be true at the same time. can you be disappointed in britt? yes... can you call out her hypocrisy? yes... but you can still recognize at the same time she is a human being with real thoughts and emotions someone who takes us so seriously and hears us unlike so many other creators?
This is def where I sit with it. As somebody who stands against the
genocide of Palestinians, I am disappointed that she didn’t use her voice sooner. People say that random celebs opinions don’t matter, but they do - palestinians are only being recognized by so many bc of what is being shared on social media, so Brittany could have a big impact.
With that being said, I can also recognize that she is a human who doesn’t know how to react perfectly, and there are many voices shouting for her to do different things. I imagine that’s difficult and we should have room for that.
I think it's honestly good that this happened because nobody should have such an idealistic view of any internet personality. Everyone has flaws, and one flaw doesn't make someone a bad person. When we're disappointed in the people we look up to, we learn to truly, genuinely see them as human beings. I hope we can all move past this and I hope Brittany knows how loved she is
@@deltafournumbers same I can’t agree more! I really love Brittany and I’m gonna continue supporting her, I think she’s genuinely a good person and it’s honestly something I think a lot of people in her shoes would do. Glad to meet a well-balanced and empathetic person on the internet lol!
most of the harassment came from tiktok where nuance isn't often there. it really is a black & white worldview; however, i'm glad shes speaking up but it's insane the assumptions that arised
exactly!! i think that because of brittany’s platform and what she stands for, it would almost be silly as an audience to NOT call her out/ hold her accountable, especially since she has created a space where she encourages honesty & emphasizes the importance of avoiding putting celebrities on a moral pedestal/the nuances of parasocial relationships. brittany has made it clear that she stands for honesty and integrity, and i think many people were criticizing brittany’s approach because they KNOW that she DOES care and WILL listen
i’m honestly very proud of you i saw the comments about you not speaking out and at first it confused me. i think you have your following bc we relate as common people and i never doubted u aligned the way you do. shit is overwhelming in the world n your content is like sitting down with a bestie it’s a pause in the chaos. I’m glad u used your platform for solidarity and i def don’t blame you for educating n getting yourself tg before speaking esp w ur platform
I was in a two year relationship. I’m on month one of single and healing and when I’m sad which is quite often I listen to these podcasts Britney does she just makes me laugh. it’s simple but she takes me out of something sad and makes me happy again I’m thankful for Britney she turns my grey sky’s blue ❤❤❤
Why do Americans hold “celebrities” higher than our political figures on BOTH sides it’s a wild time to be alive
what makes you think we aren’t holding them to the same standard??? tf???
why are yall acting like we aren’t capable of multitasking and being angry at two or more issues at once??
I’ve seen multiple videos of people confronting politicians about their inaction, people are able to do multiple things at once
Have you not seen all the protests going on the past month???
Not just both sides but every country around them. Bc let’s be honest the way the last decades went, are also with (the lack of) help the other countries gave.
Brittany anyone who follows you knows your character. We all know you stand for the right thing. I can’t believe the narrative that is going on about you right now. I promise you will always have people who know where your heart is and will always support you. I understand why this video is necessary, but please know that we know you and love you.
some of the ppl here saying “We can’t force celebs to comment on political issues!!” are the same ppl who were hating in her comment sections😭😭 like girl..
Not I, apparently the only bitch w any consistency here. Trendsetter per usual Lmao
Wow the babying of a grown woman in this comment section is insane. Have y’all never heard about solidarity? Spreading awareness? Using your platform for good things?
The reason I personally am so irritated that Brittany took so long to speak out is because she claims she's always gonna get behind any worthy cause and utilise her platform like she thinks anyone with a platform like hers should. If she didn't feel comfortable speaking on it, she should have been sharing resources and pointing to creators who DO know what to say. You can't pull a JK Rowling and say you'll stand with someone when they need you performatively and proceed to not do that at all when they desperately need help, yk? This seems to be the reason a lot of people are angry and, if so, it's very valid? Not sure why people are acting like she's being 'morality policed' when she's being a hypocrite ffs.
Brittany is an incredibly wise individual and I would argue that some people are choosing not to hear her in order to continue placing blame in a place that feels more controllable to them.
i also think that people hounding individuals who have not been speaking on issues for whatever reason is a way to feel like you are doing SOMETHING when everything feels quite helpless. other than the clear issues with doing this, another problem is it decentralises the discussion from being about the core topic and becomes quite performative . not sure if this makes sense lol
@@Joey-vm2jk totally makes sense and I agree!!
Brittany said I'm better than hasanabi💀
I never understood why ppl are so adamant that one ‘mistake’ is irredeemable and a ‘gotcha’ moment, like she was secretly a bad person this whole time.
Some mistakes are irredeemable. But her (an entertainer), WAITING to speak about a difficult subject, and was mildly confused at her influence being used in politics when she is not the educative expert on the subject, isnt even close to an irredeemable act. Was it wrong to wait? Yea I think it was. Should she have simply mentioned her stance and expanded on it later? probably. In my humble opinion, this is not a ‘cancelable’ offense. Let her learn from this and be better as a creator, let her be human. Shes also taking the criticism quite well as a learning experience as Ive hoped.
You’re doing good Ms. Broski, this too shall pass, learn and continue~
So well said, agreed.
Completely agree!
This "learn and..." is so extremely entitled. Pfuideifi.
These "spot the privileged kid" tests are getting really easy thanks to this war!
yessss like you can be genuinely decent and kind and speak up for all the right things, but a single misstep will be viewed as a "mask off" moment. like what do people think is more likely, that somebody was a secret evil bigot hiding their hateful views the whole time, or that they were misinformed or had a bad take once? if people feel hurt or annoyed by the way she handled this and don't want to watch her content anymore then that's obviously their prerogative and that's fine, i just don't understand the impulse to attribute everything to malice.
"If you have a platform and you have people's ear,you have their attention,how dare you not speak about things that matter" -brittany broski
to everyone wondering why so many people relied on her to give an opinion in the first place, this is why. yes, she is a comedian, but she has also, on numerous occasions, spoken out on injustices. many people were hoping that she would show solidarity and not undermine the situation at hand. just because she is a comedian, she has been so vocal on political issues before, there was no reason to change right now. this is why people wanted her to speak up. so many people are unaware of the situation and she has the influence to change their opinions. yet she was silent on her platform. I appreciate this video that she has put out, but it is important to acknowledge why people were mad at the first place.
This isn’t me trying to start an argument with you, and I totally understand because she has been adamant about using her platform to amplify voices. Maybe sharing links to petitions, sharing info etc etc. totally understand. But in the same breath, I don’t think she should be held accountable for those who are somehow still unaware of the situation. The war has been broadcast on social media platforms since the beginning, and also there’s news stations. If people are relying on a comedic content creator for her opinion on an active horrible war, it’s kinda time to step away from the computer for a bit. I think we sometimes put content creators on a pedestal and forget they’re just human. It’s also not like her opinion is on the side of the oppressor. It would absolutely be a different story if that were the case. Instead, it’s just about how quickly she addressed the war. Again, no disrespect at all and I just wanted to give another perspective, not an argument.
@@Thatssuper people are asking her for solidarity more than anything, every voice does count in a situation like this, especially when those in power aren’t doing anything. she’s a content creator with a huge platform, and im sure more than anything she was aware of what was happening. all that most of ask is just a post showing her support for the Palestinians. sure content creators are human just like us, but they have a larger influence than the average human being, and they have the platform to change opinions and spread awareness. it’s every human’s responsibility to speak out and be the voices for those who are unable to do so for themselves, regardless or not if they are a “comedic content creator”. I appreciate that she did speak out about it at the end, but i do think it is justified why people are mad in the first place. No disrespect to you or anything of course, just think that it’s valid that people are upset especially when their own people are dying.
Absolutely, asking for solidarity isn’t asking too much at all! I just think people took it a bit too far. I like this lil discussion we had just now :) I won’t keep adding to it because we can’t live in the comments but 10/10. I hope you have a great day
As someone who went to film school, I’m obsessed with this discussion! Please do more!!
I think it’s completely out of our leader broskis realm to have to comment on global events unless she simply wants to. She is here for the giggles and to talk about what ever she pleases. We can find our news through platforms that supply that type of content. Personally I don’t want Brittany to become a news platform. Thank you, next.
It's a genocide.
I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT SALVADOR DALI TEA, BRITTANY! I'm not just saying this because you told me to, I LOVE learning about artists! I was the art kid, I also dreamt in spanish my senior year of high school, this episode is REALLY hitting. I CARE ABOUT IT! Ill scream from the rooftops, I dont care how unhinged I am right now!

Desde España, mucho ánimo con tu plan para mantenerte constante en la práctica de hablar español! Es verdad que desde fuera de los Estados Unidos se ve toda clase de contenido o "media" estadounidense de forma distinta, ya que es marcadamente "made in usa", pero siempre es enriquecedor (como tú dices) comprender la cultura como un fenómeno global Y local o regional al mismo tiempo.
Desde el lado transatlántico de la nación Brosky, un abrazo y mucho ánimo, amo tus videos!❤❤❤
brittany talking about her relationships to films is so interesting to me. my best friend is huge into films and got me into films in highschool. i would said my order for what i feel interested in/comfortable ranking would be movies, then music, then books, then paintings.
Hands off the wheel, eyes closed, feet pressed to the floor, listening to Brittany ❤
Oh damn, the opening monologue was not this vibe lmao
Hey, my mom is a world language/ varied level Spanish teacher and she is fully fluent in both Spanish and English. She is from PR and came to Chi when she was 12 years old. She taught herself English by reading, watching films and speaking with friends. She teaches dialect of different cultures, cultural traditions and more and tutors!! If you’re serious we can do zoom sessions but if not that’s okay too, good luck!! 🤍
I think it’s okay to be scared of saying the wrong thing, but I think everyone, not just influences/celebrities, but every day people need to learn that waiting around for the perfect words to say, is not helpful solidarity for the oppressed people being killed everyday. In order for change to happen, we just speak loudly against what we know is wrong, immediately!! Americans are very privileged at times with this idea that “oh that’s unfortunate for them, but what could I possibly do?” Just speaking out and having hard conversations can mean the world. Don’t let the government and these corporations convince you that you can not make a difference. Thank you Britney for speaking on this matter and taking it seriously. #freepalestine
Thank you for speaking up on the current major issue in the eyes of the world. I understand the fear of misstepping, misusing and miswording on your platform. You're not going to be able to please everyone. Solidarity is very important. Speaking up is very important.
im sorry people are being so horrible to you brittany. it's a tense situation and a tense time. thank you for speaking up and please take care of yourself.

momma, imma need you to make a booktok account ASAP. Ever since I saw the episode when you were talking about TOG, I just needed MOREEE!!! plz make more book content. Love u sis.
Can I just say how wild it is that some people are holding an entertainer to more accountability than actual people in power who can make a difference?? I completely understand the position Brittany was put in and yes she should’ve spoken up sooner but right now we need to focus on the bigger picture 🍉
but that’s the thing, who said we haven’t been holding politicians/ppl in power accountable? but of course they’re not listening to us so that’s why we need celebrities to speak on these issues bc they’re literally the ones that “influence” their audiences. im not mad at brittany, we’re just trying to get EVERYBODY to use their platforms that’s all. i’m glad she’s living up to her words even if it took some backlash
I don’t know what internet you’ve been on but I’ve seen plenty of discussion about holding politicians accountable and trying to get them to use their power, far more than any social media personality/influencer
ngl i've seen more people on tiktok get angry at brittany, making like 10s of tiktoks & not making a single one about any other person or politician

@@unlitrash God help us if this is our dystopian reality.
@@unlitrash ik this is so shocking, but if an actual politician isn't going to change things when you "hold them accountable" a celebrity definitely isn't going to make a difference. what you're asking is actually insane, it is NOT every single person with a platforms job to speak on EVERY issue that everyone ever has. You do not get to decide for everyone that they're now your local representative. maybe focus on doing a better job "holding accountable" your actual politicians.
Obviously haven't watched the episode yet, but can't wait for another podcast ep. These get me through the day, especially at work
I really appreciate your intro. Your words were thoughtful, elequent, & summarized most of our feelings.
I always understood your channel as a place i could go to escape from the world. You have brightened up my life in so many ways. You got me back into reading, and the discussions you have here have changed my entire worldview for the better. Thank you so much for that.
this was such a strong opening, Brittany i agree with every single thing you said. so eloquently spoken, having a platform such as yours is a blessing and a curse because of these exact situations. the thought of saying the wrong thing online is crippling and fear-inducing, i understand your sadness and frustration. we love you, thank you for your raw honesty and doing the best that you can ❤
Absolutely wild some of y’all are saying she is just a comedian why should she speak on geopolitics…. on a video discussing AMERICENTRISM 🤣 I understand she has an extremely limited capacity. I also understand she is just one person. However she and Drew are seen as outspoken feminist anticolonial voices in the mainstream, and at least providing visibility and solidarity should have come much sooner. The tone of that video leaked from her close friends story was distasteful and impulsive, two things which should not be the tone of a video regarding genocide. I appreciate the apology, and hopefully look forward to seeing more steps towards authentic solidarity.
exactly! she also built her whole platform on top of ally ship, as she said it herself many times. I, for one, am very disappointed and don't think I'll be consuming her things anymore; I just don't see sincerity.
okay, see you then! you're fucking ridiculous lol@@saphi2400
yes!
fully agree!
i listened to this stoned when you first posted this and i still think about what you said about language/sentence structure/etc like i was eating it up so now im back 🫡
Let’s be honest. Nobody cared about this conflict until it became a trending topic on Tik tok or Twitter. Now that’s it’s fashionable to make a stand they attack people who don’t want to or shouldn’t have to speak out.
Ding, ding, ding!
It’s very brave to be fully human on the internet especially with this kind of thing. Appreciate you showing others that they can do that
One of the girls following the girl who posted the original video that started all of this, spent 2.5 hours spewing hate into my comment section of me and my partner. calling only me fat, ugly, fat, ugly, your partner is more attractive than you, you’re like 2 times the size of your partner, you have a big forehead…etc. it went on for forever. i’m literally not kidding. 92 comments from them. I only replied to 2 of them and said “I hope you find the peace you need” they are just people who have literally nothing better to do apparently, it was so obvious. ALL BECAUSE I SAID WE NEED TO HOLD POLITICANS ACCOUNTABLE!! didn’t direct it towards anyone or even mention brittany, yet, they were saying things that genuinely were so hateful and hurtful. i cant help but agree with brittany after experiencing the fucking nonsense that was being spewed to me this morning. i had to turn my comment section off and block them, oh and then they followed my partner and commented “i’ll give you 2k to break up w your gf, i want to watch this bitchs heartbreak” while she was a 20 year old girl who was insecure, it still scares me like a lot, this generation is scary dude, it’s so unrealistic and uncanny lol
I don’t have the words to summarize how complex and dystopian the pressure put on content creators is. All I know that I have so so much respect for Brittany
I immediately understood what Britney was saying in her tiktok but I went on twitter and everyone was behaving so disturbing
"If you have a platform and you have people's ear, you have their attention, how dare you not speak about things that matter." - Brittany Broski
I understand where people are coming from but Brittany’s content is not a place where I get my news, frankly as much as I love Brittany, I’m not losing sleep if she didn’t talk about it
“If you have a platform and you have people's ear, you have their attention, how dare you not speak about things that matter." -Brittany Broski
is it that bad for people to want her to practice what she preaches?
i can't believe anyone even questioned her stance like have u even listened to her speak even once😭
Thank you for making things feel brighter in the darkest of times. We love and appreciate you Brittany!
History major here! I’m taking a hitler history course this semester, and we spent like a whole week just talking about how Hitler was no fucking dummie and he knew his image was so freaking important, and that he needed something to catch people’s attention, so he had that mustache that was honestly never really in fashion while he was alive, so he had a stache that was old fashioned to show people he himself was conservative and old fashioned!! Not to mention that he took his image so seriously that he’d constantly get his photographs taken for no apparent reason to have his photographs spread around
It’s not that we want influencers to talk about things like that …. It’s the fact that she said that if you have an audience you should spread awareness, she set the standard. That’s why people got annoyed
yuuuupppp even a transparent “i don’t know enough to speak on this issue” wouldve been better than ignoring it and ranting abt being held accountable on private social media
