im sure sarah zedig1 is cool and has smart things to say, but when i see people call her (or insinuate she is) a radical transfeminist youtuber, its very funny to me, bc my first exposure to her was her arguing that the adventure zone: balance was a communist (or at least anti-capitalist) masterpiece. like i loved taz:b at the time too but i think that claiming the mcelroy brothers are secretly radical socialists bc of their dnd radio play is a bit much. to be fair to her though that was like 5 years ago so i’m sure she’s changed in that time and also she couldnt have predicted how the brothers would have changed in that time, its just very funny that my first impression of her that coloured how i see her work is so different from how other people talk about her

not sarah z, but i feel similarly about her, especially about her mcelroy- and homestuck-related videos bc she never actually like… came to any novel conclusions about those media properties. i’d heard everything she said before elsewhere lmao
