People who don’t get the pregnancy motif in Severence and then turn around and get mad about it drive me crazy. ITS THE LOSS OF AUTONOMY AND RIGHTS SHOW! ITS THE MAKING A NEW PERSON TO CARRY YOUR BURDEN SHOW! Of COURSE pregnancy is a theme. It’s not like the show is being weird about it?? Do we not trust the show runners?? If Helena is pregnant I fully expect them to use it as a horrific plot point! If it’s the direction it’s going to be full of horror and plot twists (probally back alley abortion via Helly tbh. Bc you KNOW Helena would use Helly to give birth like that one Senator lady did).

I feel like those of us who are longtime Video Essay Enjoyers™ have been aware something was suss about James Summerton (I remember when Lawrence called out Summerton for stealing their Hannibal essay years ago) for a while. But I think it's cynical to reduce Hbomberguy's vid to just a "dunk" when it's more of an odyssey railing against how influencer and content culture devalues the work of culture critics, academics, and activists. As Harris said, it's not a problem exclusive to Summerton, but a corrosive attitude baked into late capitalist "content" culture. The video is a clear exploration of the consequences of all media and art being flattened into "content" creates a system where the labor of marginalised creatives and storytellers are exploited and stolen by people with more privileges and resources. As someone who has witnessed rich tiktokers quote articles and posts I've written verbatim without credit to make money from their 1000s of followers, this video hit super hard for me. From James Summerton claiming the works of dead gay activists, to Charli D'Amelio building a career from stealing dances created by Black tiktokers - plagiarism is often inseparable from discrimination and exploitation of labor rights. Harris' video is about how the nature of influencer content culture has further exacerbated the exploitative systems that already existed, wrapped up as YouTuber drama analysis. But I hope people don't miss the forest for the trees and remember you should always be citing your sources, fact checking, and be very wary of people who don't. And for the love of God, please stop getting your information exclusively from video essays, tiktoks and podcasts.
