Bonnie Blue Has Finally Gone Too Far

In this video, I discuss the latest Bonnie Blue controversy, the rise of OF creators as role models, why I don’t view “cornography” as empowering regardless of sexuality, and what all of this says about modern culture and feminism.

Why So Many Gay People Are Distancing Themselves From LGBT Culture

I asked my subscribers if they’ve ever felt disconnected from modern LGBT culture, and the responses were fascinating. In this video, I react to real stories from gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, detrans, and asexual people about Pride, dating, politics, identity, and why many no longer feel represented by the broader LGBT movement. Whether you agree or disagree, these are conversations that deserve to be heard.

Why So Many People Are Mocking Men’s Mental Health Month

June is Men’s Mental Health Month, yet every year the topic seems to spark outrage online. In this video, I react to viral TikToks mocking men’s mental health and discuss why compassion should not be a competition between men and women. Correction: I realized one clip included in this video was presented without the broader satirical context of the creator’s content. The creator was actually mocking the trend of people making fun of Men’s Mental Health Month and mocking calls for a moment of silence, a trend that is genuinely present across many videos on the platform.
