Summarizing What Ashleigh Crystal Said In Her Story In Spanish For Latin America, My Spanish Isn't That

There is a small child in this cafe writhing and screaming with such violence and rage that they keep running out of breath and coughing. The source of her rage? Her mom asked her to eat a single grape.

This is just going to be more thinking out loud for me, so feel free to yell at me if I’m getting anything wrong here. But I think that it is at least somewhat important to point out how terrible Lily’s media criticism/literacy skills and takes are for two main reasons.

One reason is that this is the main way she draws in extremely vulnerable people into her audience and grows support, financial/otherwise. Which allows her to continue abusing, grooming, and being a predator towards an ever increasing fucking number of people, while also having many toxic stans that will enable/increase her ability to do so.

Another main reason that I’ve believed this is because LO ties SO. FUCKING. MUCH. Of her abusive behaviors/beliefs into her media criticism. Whether it’s absuing Cypher for not dogmatically agreeing with her own crappy Sylvanas headcannons, hurling xenophobic abuse at people for enjoying Japanese culture and anime, or slandering queer artists that she hates as being pedos, sex pests, or somehow creepy/fetishistic in the children’s cartoons that they create.

There’s just so much of Lily’s absuive behaviors, actions, and ideas that she puts into her media rants themselves, that I think they’re very worthwhile in really dissecting and picking apart. DEFINITELY not as much as her abusive and predatory actions/behaviors outside of her videos are obviously, but still pretty important nonetheless. At least to me at this moment.

You've hit the nail on the head, which is why some people still talk about her media takes. She's one of those people who actually does wrap up her real-world beliefs and manipulative tendencies into the fiction she creates and consumes, along with projecting her fetishes into it and claiming the work itself was fetishistic.

Her channel is pure bait.

Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I'm gonna make a little PSA:

Yes, it's an ableist slur.

Terms like "asshat," "head-up-ass," "up their own ass," and "high on their own farts" exist. There's also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.

Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you're still using disability as an insult.

Petition to start making spooky kids' cartoons again.

Like, not just Halloween specials like Over the Garden Wall or whatever (though that's a GREAT miniseries too), kids' cartoons that have a fun, spooky, Halloween-esque aesthetic 365 days of the year, like Courage the Cowardly Dog, or Beetlejuice the series.

We lost something as a society when we stopped making spooky cartoons for kids.

I’m sorry if this is how you found out

I think it should say something about the level of power israelis have towards Palestinian lives that a jewish man felt comfortable shooting openly at a beach because he thought he saw palestinians. I think it says something that a zionist tried to drown a 3 year old palestinian Muslim child in Texas. I think it says something that we keep hearing about the rise of antisemitism but no israeli Americans have been killed by Palestinians but a palestinian boy was stabbed to death in Chicago by a man in revenge of october 7th. But news doesn't report about the rise of anti palestinian hate crimes and if they do they'll just report it as a rise in Islamophobia
