Honestly, if you think Nazis were generally pretty racist people, maybe you're a fascist I guess?
and yet they AREN'T the alt right one in this scenario?
Well they weren’t racist like that, they had actual things that they hated about the races they put in the camps, you can argue the truth of their beliefs but it wasn’t ever just “they look different” in the nazi perception.
@@Abysalss That is literally racism.
Jay: Hey nazis are racist
Reporter: No they aren’t, they “tolerated” having brown people on earth to help them conquer it
Jay:
Reporter: I’m defending nazis now
Jay: what?
Reporter: you are a right wing extremist
Jay: what
Ain’t this the truth!
Happens on both sides. There was a famous case where a sexual predator (who happened to be trans) was targeting Muslim women and children. And the usual liberal arguments like "conservatives only pretend to care about kids" or "you just hate trans people". But like no serious this person repeatedly assaulted kids and brown people. Their identity shouldn't matter.
Saying "Someone shitting on somebody else's creativity" after calling their 5 hour long project "unwatchable negative shit" (without having seen it) is some next level irony lmfao
And coming from a person who's supposed to be a professional journalist... welp.
@@Vits117 Not a professional journalist, a writer for the Guardian. These are not the same thing.
@@OsellaSquadraCorse Professional crack pot is a better term.
Hypocrisy is the biggest issue I have with these people filled with "toxic positivity" or that reject criticism claiming it's "Evil people that want to use objectivity to make their opinions sound more legit, SHAME ON THEM FOR NOT BEING A SUBJECTIVE FREE BIRD LIKE I AM!!!" ...Even though they themselves are doing exactly that: shitting on people for not complying to _their_ (very flimsy and malleable) standards of right and wrong.
@@Vits117 I don't honestly think that "professional" and "journalist" can exist in the same sentence anymore.
Unless it's something like "This professional's life was ruined by a journalist who couldn't be bothered to do proper research before they released their clickbaity hit piece."
"Lol its fantasy, just accept it" is an argument made by people who dont give a shit about fantasy as a genre.
There is something inherently dismissive when people suggest that a given genre shouldn't be taken too seriously. You wanna get me really serious, suggest that comedy shouldn't be taken seriously.
"it's fantasy, and because magic/fictional race/other fantasy trope exists, that means they can do literally anything and you're not allowed to criticize it or think that it feels off."
@@THATGuy5654 then there's people who don't want to discuss fiction in general because "it's just what the writer decides it is" For example when you ask "if character A fights character B, who'd win?" and some smartass says "whoever the writer wants to win"
i guess let's never discuss any fiction ever because someone can decide the outcome
@@Crabgar I fucking HATE IT when people do that. It’s so fucking annoying!

"Fascist? Some of my best infantry are Indian" -A. Hitler
The point the guy from that article was making was completely asinine anyway. "Oh yeah the Nazis occasionally made use of non-white collaborators and therefore had no problems with non-white people and would happily put them in positions of authority over German soldiers" is a nonsensically bad take. They also made use of Russian collaborators, would this guy read that as the Nazis having no particular loathing for Slavs, for example? What a dingus.

@@raphaelmorgan2307 You're wrong. They clearly accused her of criticizing the new Doctor Who episodes only because the main character is a woman instead of a man.
(I hate that I feel like I have to clarify, but obviously that's not why she made the video. These toxic commenters simply couldn't be bothered to watch it.)
Wait so people who spent 5 - 10 seconds reading the tittle and thumbnail of the 5 hour video essay has the right to confidently make dumb and condescending assumptions on said video but the person who made a 5 hour video essay on a series has no right to critic the show the essay is about?

The 1st season of 12 wasn't great either. I suspect it's still going to suck with Jodie gone if Chibnail stays on.
Making good with a woman main actor so everyone likes it ⛔️. Making it bad with a woman main actor 🥰
At this point the writing is so bad I'm convinced Chibnall is sexist and wants to make sure Whittaker's doctor is so bad that there's never a female doctor again. It can't be this bad by accident.
@@tgoas3503 He's not, he's just that bad. I know it's a joke but it's pretty unfair to the guy to make the statement. Simple fact is, a lot of people working in the entertainment industry are not that talented.

twitter is 90% someone imagining a guy, tricking themselves into believing that guy exists and then getting mad about it
5% those guys that actually exist

Chris chibnall can write plots?!
I don’t know why people get mad about constructive criticism
Because internet man said mean angery things about thing I like
MHM They just don't like opinions that contradict their own
Because some people tie their whole personality to things that they like. And since they lack other aspects of their personality, an attack on their favorite things turns into a personal insult to them.
They can endlessly talk about how their favorite thing is beautiful. And if you dare to criticize their favorite thing, suddenly standards begin to be imposed. Is the criticism too short? The criticism is superficial. Is the criticism too long? Go outside and touch the grass!
All feelings are important, all assessments are valid, any criticism is hatred. Enjoy the product. Don't ask questions. But only you can't criticize. They can descend to the most poisonous and vile personal insults. They will run after you for three days just to tell you how much they don't care about you and how sorry they are for you.
Because for them, you are a villain who wants to get a quality product. And they have enough of the available product and they are happy. And you spoil their fun, because you claim that their favorite thing is bad. After all, you can't love bad things and understand that they are bad. Smokers, for example, usually understand that their lungs will not thank them for cigarettes. But they can't admit it. For their favorite things are their personalities. And if they like bad things, then their personality is not so good either.
Because they want to avoid criticism all together. It's pretty simple, but frankly it doesn't excuse the show of doctor who or help it. I thought Jay was more than fair in his video as opposed to complaining identity politics and not showing why the show is clearly a dumpster fire of qaulity at this point even without politics being put in.
Insecurities.
They don't want something they deem 'precious' to them being 'put down' by other people. Ironically enough, they're also generally the kind of people who'll jump in glee when something they don't like get that very treatment.
Quotation mark, because it doesn't actually have to be that. It just have to be perceived as 'putting down' by some folks.
The thing I find wacky is that Timeless Child writes her out of even being the first female Doctor. They just didn't give her a break, anywhere.
Ah thats ok they already retconned that accomplishment with that other female time lady they had in the fugitive before she was stated to be the timeless child, so she already got dethroned before the reveal to soften the blow
I listened to the entire thing while working on a project of my own, and the backlash is completely ridiculous. You made what I consider to be very nuanced critiques and frankly I completely agree with the vast majority of it. It did in no way boil down to “woman bad!” People are just weird.
It's mostly due to a retarded modern view of feminism. Everybody wants to argue that just because something has woman in it or is made by a woman, it's automatically a bad thing and should never exist.
People just want boil points and nothing else.
If you don't know, Nerdrotic, Geeks and Gamers and his friends all argue that MCU is bad now because it is going to have women. Suddenly the fact that marvel and Kevin Feige bringing in more female characters into focus is bad only shows they don't care and just want to rake in on the grift.
Nerdrotic even made a twitter post where he argued with a tag post that it is very sexist to have female directors making superhero films, where the only thing that the tag post said that more female directors should make superhero films. Him saying that only proved that he is incapable of rational thinking. He even argued that shang chi bad because he got defeated by his sister in one scene. Later on, he defeated his father and dweller in darkness in the end.
Geeks and Gamers had made a video not criticising Matrix resurrections, but thinking how woke is it. Clearly that's the only thing possible to him. A movie is bad because it has trans allegory, not because it has problems in screenwriting and filmmaking aspects.
Humans are evolving....... but backwards.
Aha but you see, woman am bad! The mere choice that the lead role would be filled by a girl means that the media is terrible. The writing and decisions couldn't possibly factor into it at all.
@@highjumpstudios2384 @Ineffable Penguin watch Overlord from season 1 to 4, in last episode of the last season you will see a woman. Don't be scared, they exist. Take deep breath and realice what make you fear and trumble is that this woman is a good character. Not nececarely done good thing to please Jesus, but in all meaning is a "good character".
@@avanishdutta2658 I dont know about the others but nerdrotic watches the shows, does reviews and explains why its bad in discussions. Sounds like you dont watch any of his stuff because it isnt things are bad because women are in it.
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 I used to watch Nerdrotic's Doctor Who videos. Though I disagreed with him on certain points, I didn't think he was actively a liar or insanely alt-right brainwashed like all the rest of the talking heads who pretend to be critics, and I also disliked series 11, so we agreed more than we disagreed. Then he made his It Takes You Away review where his conclusion was that the whole message of the episode was "white single fathers are bad" and then railed against it for that, a thing that is not remotely congruous with reality. Also having a disabled person be a major character is woke and that's bad. That was the last video of his I ever watched. My life has seen no significant downgrade now that I don't watch a miserable git who's friends with actual Nazis (because you have to be to be in the anti-woke critic space) and makes pretending to like nerd things and hating minorities their entire personality.

Also amusing: "Those best friends were POWs! I believe that definitively proves a complete absence of any racial bias. Clearly, they were on absolutely fantastic terms!"
They're fucking POWs; it's basically impressment. And the British situation with India in WW2 is part of the reason ANY were willing to do it at all, let alone dodge a hellhole POW camp.
From my experience on RUclips with video essays, these guys going "Oh god it's 5 hours, it's just a bunch of hate filled bs, isn't it?" have it exactly the other way around.
Like, if someone's going to put in the time and effort to go through the process of scripting and editing down the script for 5 hours worth of video, spend countless days just recording the lines, find the right clips, edit those clips in while making sure they won't trip the copyright censors, and everything else that goes into such a huge project, it's not just going to be a rant. By the time anyone just finished recording everything, I'd imagine the anger would be so far past dead that they'd just feel like scrapping it entirely rather than continuing.
If someone just wanted to make a rant hating on a thing that people like complaining about for views, it's not going to be a 5 hour long video that's the result of a months long project. It'll probably be like a 20 minute video, maybe an hour if they _really_ push it. That doesn't take nearly the same commitment as a full hours long video essay would.
I've seen hour long videos about how the "global elite" aka Jews are taking over the world
Video length isn't a good indicator for quality in either direction
People love to make dismissive blanket statements instead of acknowledging the fact that someone made a valid criticism of their favorite media. I wish he'd just ignore the folks on Twitter. It's full of people who will complain over anything they like, because that little corner of the internet encourages people to get angry at trivial nonsense. Unfortunately this time, they came for Jay.
@@umamifan
Yeah, this is very true. I've seen people on Twitter complain over pretty much everything and anything.
That’s what I was thinking? Like what do you mean ‘5 hours means it’s going to be a rant’ what kind of rant lasts 5 hours without at least some proof regarding the claims they’re ranting over
@@ranglefandangles For that matter I don't think anyone can go into a rant 5 hours straight before running out of steam period
A video being hours long is a selling point to me. It signals to me "This person has put in a huge amount of effort and time to make something they feel some kind of passionate about and are sharing it with people." And I love that shit! I love hearing people who know a lot about a thing I know little or absolutely nothing about just go on about the topic for hours, whether that's positive or negative, or both. Not saying every hour long videos are like this, but most of them are I believe. You don't fill hours of video time with nonsense or unfounded hate, that's what twitter's for.
not to get political (legitimately speaking), but that's what always interests me about leftist youtubers on yt
they have these comically long videos about topics that may not interest me at first, but it's the sheer length of the videos that always catch my eye
he's not political really, but emplemon exemplifies what i'm talking about
@@The_Jazziest_Coffee Not to get political, but it is perceived a left-wing thing because right-wingers are usually grifters or genuinely fucking stupid.
You would think people who like TV shows that go on for years and can't be binged within a few hours would understand how being longer can actually be a good thing.
It’s literally 4 and a half instances of the video long, like what the hell
It's weird because it only seems really logical that, you know, people who make longer videos would probably have more to say? I mean, how many times do people think you can say 'show bad' without actually making an actual point in a FIVE HOUR video??? What???
If anything, it's the really short videos I'd expect to be shallow. If you're taking less than 10 minutes to talk about over 20 hours of footage then I have no idea how you could even get to any meaningful conclusions in that timeframe.
It's certainly a fact that video is 5 hours long.
@@Edax_Royeaux slight over five hours...
I guess people don't like wing punctuation about numbers.
@@dracocrusher Personally, 5hrs is 100% too long HOWEVER: It can be excused because of the target audience of the video. A critical essay in literature really doesn't need that type of length, but a lot of the time spent on the essay seemed to go to source material/evidence of his claims or explaining his stance. Realistically, the same video could be 2-3hrs in length without suffering from that much lost content. It's not quantity that led to its length, more structuring. But again, it's excused by the target audience of the video. It's made to be extremely accessible and well explained so that people can't make weak points about failed criticism or "subjective opinions". That made them turn to "Chibnall bad" and "5hrs?!?", but they're obviously weak criticisms as they don't actually dispute the legitimacy of the criticisms within the video.
For the video itself, I definitely think a big part of its length comes from the 'walkthrough' structured criticisms and them taking too long. While it's a great way to drive home your point to those who aren't as experienced in literature, I think it suffers in long essays about an entire series as it really bloats the length. It works great for essays surrounding a couple of episodes, or essays that are focusing on a certain problem with the series. But with a more general criticism of the entire series, it ends up leading to its long length. Essentially, a large bulk of the essay seemed to be put into paraphrasing.
Personally, I think the essay would be better served with it being segmented into different issues the series suffered from. So, for example, half an hour on the characters of the series, rather than nearly an hour on a single episode. Then, laying out your criticisms/issues with something like the characters without relying too much on the source material to continually prove your point. A couple of scenes supporting your claims are a good thing, but entire episodes with a variety of criticisms leads to the longer length and kind of random structure of actual points made.
Really enjoyed the video, BUT its length was an issue. Again, doesn't actually dispute his points, it's only something someone studying/with a career in writing would notice and find issue with.
“A book is too long! Why can’t it be put out in separate chapters”

Almost 2 years and it's still there
Some people just can't (or don't want to) recognize the difference between a rant, a review, and an autopsy/analysis. The more problems something has, the longer it takes to break them all down and describe where, how and why it went off the rails.
If you can rant for five hours, that is f%%%ing amazing. Seriously, your Doctor Who video was amazing and spot on. In order for you to make that video, you had to be a HUGE fan of the product. You can't be that in depth on where the show has gone wrong without seeing just how right the show can be. I lost interest and wondered if I just grew out of it, so I went back and watched a Tennant episode and realized I still love what the show was, just not what it is now.
My boyfriend holds a neutral dislike of Doctor Who and he watched half the 5 hour video with me
... the latter half, after casually watching over my shoulder and being entranced.
Most 'rants', the non-structured kind, won't go on for 5 hours in general. You gotta meticulously plan for that
Only the original Longman @mauler can do 5 hour rants. In an unbridled rage.
@@SkepticalWaves And how awesome they are

10/10 bimpson in your profile picture there, very nice
Overly positive people are far worse than any negative person from what I've seen.
My last exposure to Doctor Who was as a child, with the 10th and 11th Doctor eras. I clicked out of curiosity and was amazed at the quality and depth of feedback. Five hours is, arguably, brisk for deconstruction of an entire season of televison with 22 50 minute episodes!
This is good faith, useful, well-considered critique that gave me excellent insight into the problems with the new season, and actually got me interested in checking out some more of the show! I felt like watching more of the old seasons, checking out some extended media! Stuff like this should be seen as an absolute gold mine for showmakers. It even had community polls! Real data! Fuck, I would kill to get that on *one* script I've done, never mind two full seasons!
Well said!

When I see someone making a 5-hour critique on something my immediate interpretation is "gosh this guy must be really sad that something he loves is going to shit". Cause anyone who commits so much time of their life into producing something, obviously has a passion for the IP.

The fact the 5 hour video and this one are still the first things that pop up when you search Dr.Who makes me so happy.
The start of the video made me realize that I kind of wish there was a way to browse youtube but locked to a certain year. Like lock it to 2013 and only see videos from 2013 and earlier. It feels like the youtube algorithm VIOLENTLY suppresses anything that is older than 1-2 years even if I desperately search for older content. There is so much semi-lost media on youtube that is never discovered again because of the algorithm never recommending it. It doesn't help that search results are also 50% unrelated to what you even searched for.
Funny. I feel like half my feed is just old videos...
"The Fall of Doctor Who" is seriously a masterpiece. Great work.
agreed. I have never watched an episode of doctor who in my life, but I still watched through all 5 hours of that video essay and it kept my attention and I throughly enjoyed it
I’ve never seen an episode of doctor who, but I’ve watched Jay’s video on it more times than I would like to admit
It is about the fall of modern western civilization or at least quite a large part of it.
Rather sad really.
11:19 isn't it worrying that a journalist came to an incorrect conclusion on something, then spoke about it so confidently while admitting they haven't even researched the thing they're talking about?
Current journalism is like that now.
@@ZoddGuts Sad, but true
@@LJ101 plus its the guardian
I still can't forget the console review complaining it was bad because it had too many holes and could trigger people with a phobia of them.
it's worrying that people actually believe in journalists
I watched the whole 5h critique (with the speed increased to my preferred comfortable listening pace) fully planning to watch something else as soon as the video got boring, felt disingenuous, or otherwise not worth my time. I found the comparison of old and new Who very apt, and despite my ADHD I never clicked away. The haters are gonna hate, let them wallow in their ignorance.
Had the exact same experience! "I'll turn it off when I get bored, let's see..."
Held my attention the whole time, includes so many clips of the show! Jay could've made a separate video for every episode, ended up with way more hours of content, but no one would've cared.
_(I also have ADHD)_
When I’m analyzing pop culture, your 5-hour vid is one of a handful I revisit to make sure my own analysis is clear, comprehensive, and logical. Thank you for your meticulous work! You are an inspiration.
Also to steal onion jokes.
Jay: Nazis are bad
Them: Actually, Nazis aren't as bad as you thought
Conclusion: Jay is probably a right-wing extremist
Yeah. I'm gonna need some time digesting that one
It stems from 2 misunderstandings by the writer:
1. He thinks criticizing the Chibnall era is wrong because it has a woman lead therefore criticism is born out of a hatred of the lead, rather than... everything else. He feels that other eras were skipped receiving the same criticism because the mains were men rather than the whole part where you can't criticize the writing of a showrunner by criticizing other showrunners and the video is 5 hours long already how many days do you think it would take to go through the entire Doctor Who canon for fuck's sake?
2. He thinks that because some Indians were on the Nazi side in WWII it means that Nazis were fine with Indians, would love and protect them and not put them into concentration camps, kill them or otherwise torture them as potential spies if found wearing their army's uniform.
Quote:
"It also seems that there is some inspiration from the extreme right-wing influencers, like the misguided “Indian man and Nazis” point, and the misogyny that is implied in singling out the series that have had a female actor playing the Doctor."
Let’s not mention the fact that the Master literally says his been stuck in concentration camps and prisons for 40 years.
Least I’m pretty sure he says something like that
Fucking twitter moment.
Don't try to understand SJWs... just punch them until they stop moving. Trust me, it's very therapeutic!
“Indian men can be Nazis if they want to” was not a take I was ready to hear😂😂😂
Of course there were different races allied with the Nazis, but that didnt really change Jay's point that Chibnall clearly was having The Doctor weaponize The Master's perceived race against them.
It's true tho. Skin color is irrelevant to who a person is. There's bad apples in every tree
I saw that 5 hour video essay pop up in my feed and thought "well, I'm definitely not watching that". But I didn't expect anyone to get so mad about it that they half-accidentally aligned themselves with Nazi ideologies. What a world we live in.
Well they ARE Aryans
I'm an engineer but I TOTALLY relate with the "working on a project for 4 months longer than you wanted to" thing! Cracked me up!
I listened to your 5 hour rant all week and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm glad you did it.
Lemme tell you: Madvocate did the same thing for The Flash
and Hbomberguy did it for both Sherlock and RWBY,
if not even his entire channel being the same concept.
So yeah, constructive Criticms gets more popular, that’s for sure, but let’s support it more by liking said videos and it’s comments and recommending fans of one of them the others, just like i do now (random as it may be).
"Is the chibnall era even 5 hours long?" I feel like there's something poetic there about chibnall stans having no understanding of how time works but I'm too stupid and don't care enough to find out what that is.
“You should just accept that this is a show where the main character has random superpowers that fit the plot at anytime”

That sounds like a comedy show
At least half these people don't even watch the show.

They don't, but they don't want to admit it because that'd mean they'd have to admit to being wrong.
No. They just want to get mad at people for criticizing it because they think it's good because of politics, or something.
"Apparently people aren't allowed to have favourite eras"
They say, while trying to shut down someone for having opinions on which eras they prefer. H m m
It's almost like what they mean is "why doesnt the popular opinion line up with mine"
It's a wierd take.
I mean... I'm *glad* there are people who enjoy this run. Hell. I'd be horrified if *no one* enjoyed it. But I'm not one of them.
Almost like twitter is a website designed for people who's core personality trait is outrage (sometimes their only personality trait), and them actually watching the video would not let them express their only sense of self.
This is why I'm on Tumblr
If anything, I was disappointed that it stopped at 5 hours. I loved the video, it was also the first video of yours that I watched. You do you! ❤️
Also, yes I know I'm a year late. Who truly understands the algorithm?..
Imagine the guy who said "not all nazis were racist" and that "if people were just more educated about the history of nazis then this scene would have been fine" being the guy who is accusing the other guy of being alt right. Hilarious.
It's a bit weird they mentioned the Indian legion was made of pow as a good point. Like "obviously an Indian man could be a respected part of the nazis and not face terrible repercussions for his race and being a traitor. Goodness they had an legion of kidnapped brown men working for them under the threat of torture and death silly" 😳
Not all Germans were racist in WW2 though

@@4dragons632 sadly true, how times had changed
I'd like to point out if the nazi's """asked""" you to be a nazi, you didn't really have a choice in the matter as your family was under a gun to obey. Similar to how in China now there are large state sanctioned repurcussions for going against the ccp. So not all nazi's were rasist, particularly in the lower levels where they were literally doing so to not be killed.
I swear I don’t know how many times ive seen situations where it is exactly:
“this video is bad!”
“did you watch it?”
“no because its bad”
With that guy that insinuated that there are too many video essays, "oh no, not the nth time-" blah blah, I forget what they wrote.
Video essays are my favorite genre on RUclips. They also take A LOT of work. I appreciate every one that's made, and I want more. I intend to watch the FULL five hours lol.
Update: I watched the full five hours
also there are VERY few doctor who video essays
honestly, i will probably watch that five hour video again and again. it's not only a fun and interesting watch, but it's also a masterclass in what to do and what not to do when writing characters, and as a writer i learnt a lot. thanks for making it!

That "I nodded but found myself liking the series anyway" response is something I f*ing love. Can we have more of that in everything???
ex-fucking-actly! there are plenty of shows, books, movies i LOVE that are (objectively speaking), poorly made, badly written, etc. i still love them, but i can fully understand and agree with a lot of critiques people have. it doesnt change my opinion of it, but i think understanding where people are coming from is really important
Ppl hate the idea of liking something that isn't well made cause they somehow tie liking that thing to their own self worth but its not deep like that.
I think one of the most important things Jay said (I don’t know if it was in the Doctor Who video) is that your enjoyment of bad things wouldn’t be diminished if it were actually good. Like, there are so many bits of media I love with plot holes and shitty quick characterization, but I wouldn’t love them less if there were no plot holes and fleshed out characters.

If it was 1 hour they would have claimed he was cherry picking.
If it was 2 1/2 hours they would pick on its length anyway, and by now they aren't willing to watch it.
At 5 hours, he did a deep analysis of everything and they still didn't pay attention.
Can't win with those idiots.
I hear there is 10 minutes of footage that could have been cut, and wasn't because 5 hours is controversial, but 4 hours and 50 minutes is not.
@Tom Ffrench except jays video does not repeat itself that much it is 5 hours because they personally felt that was the amount of time they needed to properly dissect and discuss the seasons of the show
@Tom Ffrench Here is a challenge for you, download and edit the video and hit all the exact same points in an hour, making sure to keep all the context.
@Tom Ffrench So in one breath you say "No criticism needs to be 5 hours long. An hour maybe, but it’s needlessly long to be 5 hours." and in another you say " I haven’t seen Jay’s video". Oh fuck off.

I'm old enough to have seen every episode of Doctor Who and I think your 5 hour essay was great. It was informative and interesting to me as I was looking forward to seeing a female Doctor but became disillusioned with the writing and character development. You have summed up my feelings succinctly with great examples to prove the points you were making.
I can't understand blind faith in anything when it is obviously so bad.
Imagine defending Nazis because you didn't like someone complaining about Doctor Who
But don't you see? Hitler had Indian friends - guess the author of that article overestimated your education, smh.

It's really unfair to call A deep analysis with actual effort put into it, as a mere 'rant'. It seems like people use the word to discredit what they dislike

First time hearing about this drama and I find it very interesting how some people just imagine a version of you that is basically just themselves but with a different opinion.

24:36 The Indian Legion were POWs???????? Why would anyone use that as an argument. During WW2, German POWs were tortured for hours on end, and some even killed to be made examples of. The poor soldiers in the Indian Legion were probably given a choice - join the Legion, have some semblance of rights and freeze to death in Stalingrad, or get tortured to death in Colditz. It really pisses me off when people try and cite examples of things like this in history as their "aha! Checkmate!" moment, even with the knowledge of why it even existed.

"The implied misogyny of making a video on the only female Doctor Who"
You mean the video in which he spends most of it criticising the white male that made the show and praising the shit out of what I assume is the only episode where the lead writer is a woman and his main point of praise is that the female doctor is demonstrating strength against the male villain who is also demonstrating strength, showing that she's not going to be intimidated by his display of strength? He also spends most of the video criticising the fact that the female Doctor is shown to be too weak, both emotionally and charismatically throughout the series and said that he was more excited to hear that the female lead writer for that one episode becoming a core writer for the next season than he was when he was a child sitting inside an operable Dalek.
You don't need any more proof that these people resort to accusations of sexism without actually caring about whether or not it's sexist just as a way to dismiss something entirely without having to argue their stance or make any effort whatsoever.
@Quentin Goodman Well we can get it back, if we're all held to a standard

I personally agreed with most of the opinions you brought up about the "story arc" that exists. Your video was very interesting to watch/listen to.

The thing is, there are channels, accounts, etc. that regularly jump on a new trending thing just to get clicks off of inflammatory wording that criticises said thing in bad faith, and I personally find that kind of content bad for online discussion, clearly only meant to start bandwagons for those edgy few who hate things just because they're popular, but people aren't talking about those channels or posts, because they're too busy going after people like Jay for making coherent, good-faith critique videos with more than enough citations to prove their point.
It's because of this whole idea that nuance is apparently for the weak. Try having a fair conversation with someone on Twitter's who's convinced themselves that a creator has bad intentions, you can't, and you will drive yourself crazy in trying to do so. You have all the evidence on your side? Well, they're highly trained in mental gymnastics, you see.

Interesting comment about the Nazi section - Indians were considered to be in the sub-human class which was the same class as the Jews. Hitler did not believe that they were capable of governing themselves and was against any Nationalist movement started by Indians to fight the British.
So no, the article writer is incorrect. The Indian legion was simply using the anti-British sentiment in India to gain an additional fighting force for Germany in a different area of the world, it was NOT an act of respect.
The article writer wanted to sound clever but a quick web search will show you otherwise.
Yes exactly! Same idiots saying “LoOk It uP” didn’t bother to do actual research
Honestly 'there was indian nazis so this man is a nazi because he pointed out a dumb plot point regarding a skin color, and it's only because it's the skin color' is about what I'd expect of the type of arguments who'd resort to such tactics.
Hey remember in Schindler's List when the Nazis had a Jewish Police Service in the Ghetto ? I guess that means handing over Jews to the Nazis was no problem...you stupid article.
i wouldnt call myself an expert on the nazi's or anything but... the "they simply werent white supremicists" nearly made me fall out of my chair. where did this journalist get their history education? i really must know. TIK has a few good videos on their ideology and lists all his sources including some out of Hitlers own words.
@@MrEd8846 TIK is a terrible source. He has consistently demonstrated that he cannot distinguish between Capitalism and Communism as he views RUclips censorship as Communist due to the private sector advertiser's control over RUclips's content. RUclips has an obligation to make money and do whatever makes themselves advertiser friendly, which of course TIK interprets as State-Run Communism because he can no longer say what he likes on their platform.
TIK in his recent Stalingrad Pavlov's House video has compared the Nazi occupation of Stalingrad in 1942 with the current day Greater Manchester Police and Scotland Yard's treatment of London. If you don't believe me, check out his youtube comments on that video, he's not even joking, he doubles down and triples down on the idea that Scotland Yard are actual Nazis and is withholding evidence of this because he's afraid of being "purged". TIK is a ideological zealot, the information you get from him is heavily biased.
I think this is the first time I've heard anyone arguing that the Nazis weren't THAT white supremacist. What the hell is this article talking about?
Now that I think about it, they did side with Japan. So now I'm confused. Why would they do that if they're racist? Maybe they just appreciated that Japan was also racist
@@theshire9173 No joke, the Nazi argument was that the Japanese were the Asian ubermench. Still pretty racist
They weren't, but were extreme German/Germanic Supremacists
Thing is, if my understanding of history is correct, that part of the article wasn't the problem. The racism of the Nazi's is not as cut and dry as is often assumed (please read; they were still incredibly racist); for instance, there were actually Nazi Jews. Based on my understanding of WW2, it is not inconceivable that a person of color rose to a position of military rank in the Nazi party... unfortunately the article then devolved into meaningless ad hoc strawman nonsense.
@@andrewbailey695 No that's not actually true. There were a lot of Jews that were members of the NSDAP who still got killed in the concentration camps, especially in the later stages when it was clear that the war was lost.
EDIT: and also, if your point is "The Nazis weren't actually that bad", WTF?! They literally killed MILLIONS of people.
The thing is that half of this probably wouldn't have happened if this was a playlist of 30 minute videos, that's how I ended up watching it anyways.
There is something else stupid about the perception filter scene I don't remember if you pointed out in the original video (it WAS 5 hours long you know...):
Since they were going to arrest him based on what the filter made them think he looked like, would turning the filter off not make them think he is a different person? Thus negating the original punishment he would get and make it be just for being a trespasser (non-arian but still)?

"Having criticism is good. 5 hours of criticism sounds like a rant!"
So... is she indirectly calling out all those documentaries on Nazi's as rants, rather than valid criticism? Or about Women's suffrage? Or Slavery?
Are we now in the era of humanity where, "Anything long is bad, because I'm a lazy piece of crap and don't WANT to hear that I'm wrong" is a valid excuse?
Sometimes, you simply can't address a topic with sufficient nuance in a short clip. Sure there's presenters that pad out time with a lot of fluff, but that doesn't mean that long is always bad. It would be nice if things could be kept short, yes, but it's not always possible. By having a knee-jerk reaction to the discomfort of a long run time, there's the risk of missing out on important information.

I honestly don't care who has an opinion but if they make a 5-hour well-edited video on that opinion, I will watch it.
This exactly! I don't care if I viemently disagree and will probably never have my opinion swayed on a given topic. If you put enough obvious care and effort into something, I'm going to watch it and hear you out because obviously you want people like me who don't agree to watch it. I want to encourage discourse, and hey, maybe I will be swayed. 5 hours can house a lot of arguments, and maybe there's one on there I haven't heard before and instantly convinces me to change my opinion.
Same
I watched that Sherlock vid...
I love watching Video Essays, even on things i don’t agree with. As long as the people are right in their criticism and not just making stuff up tho
yeah i honestly don't get where this "thing long bad" mindset came from. me first thought went to twitter and other forms of social media, even blogs, where they either don't give that room for long form essay or there's room for that but people are discouraged from making those types of posts bc the engagement is low anyway. sure there's a chance someone might just trail off and starts ranting only slightly coherent in long videos, but at that point it's easy to tune out. but any long form response/critique imo should be welcomed at first (i.e. not immediately dismissed) bc hey, the probability of the creator fully explain their reasoning and why they came to the conclusion they came to is pretty high.
Shit, me too
I believe if anyone else made this 5 hour long video i would not have been able to watch it, but I've been seeing your critique videos for a few years now and what draws me in (aside from the humor added in) is your levelheadedness to the topics at hand. keep up the awesome work
