Re: iisuperwomanii - Part 2
Her sense of humour (at least to the public) changes so drastically: from the PG rants about daily things to IG-comedy esque skits with other youtubers and celebrities to woke (aka girl love but amped up)?

Re: iisuperwomanii - Part 2
Just had a thought and figured I would dump it in this thread, in regards to her very loud verbal focus on representation (women and people of colour).
I experienced at work first hand over the past week that it can also be very counterproductive. You have to be so careful with representation or it becomes kind of toxic and self-sabotaging.
I work in IT and our particular company consists of predominantly men. I've always been aware of the occasional "boys club" vibes but it never bothered me - it never became an actual problem, I have always been included and respected professionally so I always figured that was just a growing pain in the industry where if women like myself prove ourselves we will overtime make way for a more even percentage of female workers.
Not long ago we got a new manager and she is hyper-focused on hiring other women, and making sure that each team has an even amount of women.
In my opinion it's just made things worse. She's not hired people based on their skill sets, she's assigned projects based on gender ratio and not ability, and she's not dividing people into groups according to practical skill sets. And this is how you breed resentment. I am definitely resentful myself because I'm now being counted as a vagina, not a set of skills.
And it reminds me of Lilly because that is what you get when you focus purely on representation and not on the surrounding issues of accessibility of education, workplace 'culture' and the harder discussions of why and how representation is and isn't practical for progress.

“I’m starting to think Lilly is not a white man...”
Ah I love drew gooden, everyone should check this out. It’s funny and accurate but not cruel. It’s actually very fair and constructive. Really puts into perspective what a car crash the show has been... and i think that would be forgivable if she could accept some criticism rather than responding with arrogance and denial.

Re: iisuperwomanii - Part 2
The first video on her opening night was a total disaster as everyone knows but I tried watching her other videos & they’re just as painful to watch. I feel like I’m being yelled at, judged condescendingly by her through the screen & being told I’m an angry virgin if I don’t laugh at her jokes. The diction seems forced, the guests appear to be so guarded & I get an annoying teacher-student like vibe. Her talk show feels more like a tuition where they “practice hosting” for a college theatre play.

Yes he was very diplomatic and helpful and brought up strong points, backed by evidence. I actually really like Drew Gooden. He puts a lot of thought behind his videos and jokes.horatio wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 5:35 pm“I’m starting to think Lilly is not a white man...”

Re: iisuperwomanii - Part 2
He hit the nail on the head with the "YouTuber Ego Syndrome" section, and when he said "what made her think she could do this?" - that's exactly it. She's just not made for this type of gig. And that's okay, that doesn't mean she's a failure as a human being... just means THIS particular thing is not her gig. But then when you combine that with her YouTube brand of "you deserve anything you want if you just work so hard you nearly pass out every day" it's plain to see why she will not take criticism... because it would mean everything she stands for is false, which it is.
You can work hard all day every day and the thing that you want to be or achieve still may simply not be for you. This notion that anyone can do anything makes me so sad. It's so important to LEARN what your strengths are (YouTube echo chamber is not the place to learn it) and combine that with your passion to figure out who you are in this life and world. It's not all choice. Part of it is learning. And because she's refusing to learn, she is going to fall on her face...

Re: iisuperwomanii - Part 2
Yep. I practically cheered when he was asking why anyone would want to leave the field they are doing so well in for one they are going straight into the deep end with no experience for and said “oh yes, it’s because YOUTUBERS THINK THEY CAN DO ANYTHING.” (Lily’s far from alone ...Tanya Burr might want to listen up there too to start...)DaylightAmy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 12:09 amHe hit the nail on the head with the "YouTuber Ego Syndrome" section, and when he said "what made her think she could do this?" - that's exactly it.

Re: iisuperwomanii - Part 2
I’m surprised to see Russell Peters with her, she needs some lessons from him on how to actually be a comedian. Lilly’s videos feel so icky, like there’s always a tinge of condescending finger pointing going on at the viewer. I feel personally attacked watching her videos. All went downhill for her when she moved to LA. The videos are soooooo forced!
Re: iisuperwomanii - Part 2
Lily Singh is unfunny and humorless. She’s stupid as fuck and an embarrassment for brown people. I watched the video twice and still didn’t get the point. I hardly smiled watching this mess. Being brown and playing the brown people card is the ONLY thing that makes her relevant or interesting. She has milked this brown people thing to death, she needs to fuck off cuz brown people are sick of her. We do not need special treatment or special rights and we’re not stupid, backward or as cultural as she constantly tries to portray. She’s not relatable in this day and age maybe she was back in 2010. She’s stuck in the past and so is her mental development. The stereotypes she constantly portrays is the reality of her own upbringing, cultural background and very traditional desi family. This doesn’t mean that every brown or desi human being went through similar life conditions.
A 31-year-old woman forcing stupid backward generalization and embarrassing brown people like this is mind-blowing. Education means knowledge and a progressive mindset and she clearly sucks in that apartment.

Re: iisuperwomanii - Part 2
I knew the show would not be good. Aside from all the overbearing woke shit how do people expect YouTuber's to compete with people who have come up through the mainstream. Compare making videos in your bedroom for a few years to someone who's spent years honing their craft doing stand up, live TV, sitcoms, SNL etc. It's a completely different medium that they're not prepared for. It's just not polished and feels awkward and weird.
Also, did you see that she allegedly stole a joke from a female comedian (Mary Beth Barone)? Lolol. So much for being a feminist.

Re: iisuperwomanii - Part 2
I only re-remembered her after this clip came up on instagram for me...
Just the fact that she has to do this in itself feels very condescending. Just because I'm quiet in an elevator doesn't mean I'm judging you. Why do I have to come over people like a rash? What happened to letting resting bitch faces lie??? You damn well know if this skit were done in the reverse with saying ladies why not start a conversation with those NICE MEN who just want to talk to you, and make sure you SMILE at him too... The tone would be hella different, right? Yet this shit gets praised as sooo progressive? Puhlease.
I am someone who these days tries to give a nod and a smile of acknowledgement, in the past I was definitely more of a head down, don't even acknowledge my own existence let alone others type, but I grew up and out of that, but either way I don't think too much about it. I'm also not going to be the creepy lady who tries to have talks with everyone just going about their business. (Been on the receiving end of that, not that I've ever minded.)
Also, I'm not one that takes compliments well, let alone from strangers. If a stranger compliments me, usually they are doing so to sell me something lol. I'm not even kidding, I had a guy be like ooh your hands look sooo soft, let me feel, and then start to lather some stupid cream on the back of my hand and hard sell me on it before I even realized what was going on and I felt like a loser, the same with the time a lady started talking to me about different exercises and recipes at the gym, and all she wanted to do was sell me her MLM Shakes. So yeah, when people talk to me, I am kinda suspicious these days, and I think a lot of women are because we've been in those situations where people play games like that.
So fuck you Lilly for making women feel bad, AGAIN, for just doing what they want to, and otherwise being classed as bitches anyway.

I’ve never been deeply into her content, but she tries so hard to make herself look like such a progressive person. Bisexual POC female but then she makes a video like that or called her HaTeRs (= anyone who criticizes her) « angry virgins » which is a pretty non progressive thing to say. And I’m just confused about who she is VS who she thinks she is. So she comes up as just another hypocrite.

I typed this post like 5 times trying to peel back the layers of condescension and I just get frustrated every time. It's hella condescending. If anything it makes her look like she has issues with other women.
