Jack Saint

Found this channel on youtube. Looks like a critic that examines Movies and TV shows, as well as how they handled certain topic.

I'd start with his Friends video and something more...topical.

I've been a fan of Jack Saint for a while now. I think it was his video essay on Talking Dog movies was the first one I watched.

I really do love how Jack is willing to do the "deep critical analysis" on puff media that doesn't on it surface, merit such deep analysis. It's kinda Kracauerian his approach to media analysis, and it kind of has me thinking about other pieces of so called "fluff" media in a similar way (Namely how the Webisodes and movies for Mattel's doll line Ever After High can be read using queer theory as being a trans metaphor)

One of my fave vids of his is the recent one on Cars 2, Ableism and Eugenics.

Jack takes on the topic of Gordon Ramsay's shows, Kitchen Nightmares mainly.

Damn, the American version looks exhausting to watch…

It's about time we made a page for him.

I Have Become An Enemy Of The Antinatalist Community

What or what?

we definately more context then the title of the video

The Antinatalist Community is a niche movement that wants humanity to stop having children, believing that pregnancy and children hurt nature, with some parts believing that humanity should dissapear by stopping producing the next generation at all.

First time I've heard of them and they sound less like a community (which implies they have following) and more like a fringe of extremists

It is a niche community, as Jack said. You can watch video, he goes on details about them and how there are two "divisions" in it, one is less extreme, one is more extreme and how they are basically appropriate eco-fascist talk, saying that children tend to hurt the environment, because of how many humans there are on the planet, but strangely tend to solely blame disabled people and the poor for it.

Even as a kid, the Fridge Horror of that ending was not lost on me. It had to be terrifying to wake up and suddenly be thrust into a life you don't know and find yourself in such a bizarre situation.

But as I've gotten older and have had kids, the reverse might be even worse. Because Drew Barrymore is a pregnant woman who will never meet the child she's carrying and that's... possibly even more depressing. She is, effectively, going to cease existing at the end of the day. Can you imagine going through planning, choosing names, imagining your kid's life, etc. all while knowing you won't ever experience the kid? And having the life experiences of a much younger person than you are doesn't help.

Woke War Mario

I kid you not, Tim Pool saying Mario didnt need powerups in 64 or Super Mario Galaxy to succeed sent me into a fit of gamer rage. What an absolute rube.

It's infuriating when culture war dimwits like Pool talk about these things with any kind of authority, because it becomes abundantly clear that they're posers and are only pretending to care for the sake of the grift, riding on whatever the 'In Thing' happens to be.

Oh boy, looks like someone wanted a second helping of humble pie. Shadiversity of the Knights Watch made a 2 hour long response video riddled with holes and lies. Jack is here making a response to the response.

Not surprised to see Shadiversity finally go mask-off into an anti-wokeness shithead. I used to watch a bunch of his content when doing research on medieval armours years go, but I stopped after seeing some red flags from him, especially after his rants about boob armours.

Glad to see I was proven right.

He's a regular on EFAP. That was all I needed to know.

What is EFAP? I got somw vague notions that its a podcast group Jack bumped heads with some time ago but thatd abour it.

Mauler podcast and his friends. The youtuber who makes those obnoxiously long videos about how objectively good or bad a work is. Haven't watched him, but I've read that a lot of people find his "objective" criticisms to be nitpicking. As best I can tell he's a libertarian jackass (not an alt-right one, but still willing to entertain those people).

He's not the only one? Quite a few of youtuber in that whole "medieval warfare" sphere are like him and raise those red flags a whole lot.

I had only seen a couple of vids of his about the sword fighting in The Last Jedi, but he did have some remarks that made me go "Huh… huh?"

Well, as far as I know, Skallagrim is a pretty cool person.

Interesting that Mauler is brought up considering Jack also made a video about his style of "critique" several years back. Considering Mauler rushed to Shad's defense without having seen Jack's video, assuming that Jack somehow manipulated Shad's video, it's clear he's still ass mad.

(Mauler even refers to Jack as a "villain" on his podcast).
