YMMV / Laci Green

Go To

  • Broken Base: After several years of being a staunch feminist, Laci took a more centrist position in 2017, claiming to want to create a dialogue between those inside and outside the movement. The result was an instant three way division in her fanbase. Some fans weren't affected, appreciating the acknowledgement that hypocrisy can exist on both sides and that Laci was not putting blind adherence to ideology before common decency. Some deserted her on the spot, seeing her as a "collaborator" with trolls and harassers and concerned that empathizing with racists would prevent her from putting "common decency" (IE non-racism) before ideology. And she gained some new fans who had experienced how nasty some on the Left can be towards people with differing opinions.
  • Cargo Ship: Used as a Visual Pun for her video on pansexuality.
  • Heartwarming Moments: This Valentine's Day video.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The Onion posted a joke article about a feminist woman taking a break from feminism to watch TV. Laci runs with it and talks about doing just that in this video.
  • Moment of Awesome: Her open letter to fellow YouTuber Sam Pepper requesting that he take down and apologize for a video where he gropes women sparked a tidal wave of condemnation that essentially ended Pepper's YouTube career, which was impressive enough on its own. Then a slew of women came to Laci with stories of Pepper sexually assaulting them, landing her in the middle of a complicated situation that she handled responsibly and compassionately.
  • Tearjerker: Her TRUMPOCALYPSE video. She barely keeps her composure while talking about health insurance, climate science and the like may be damaged by the new government. The fact that she looks a little dishevelled hints that maybe she'd been venting pretty hard before making the video.
