Early Access: The Ship of Theseus
Hey team,
Rough cut of the new video is up. I'll be recording final audio tomorrow - which it sorely needs because there are a number of misspoken lines and audio pops - and there are a few revised sentences. But there are very few visual tweaks necessary this time, which is a rarity. This is actually the first Alt-Right Playbook that hasn't required a major script overhaul, just some minor adjustments and one bit of reordering.
Enjoy it for now, it'll probably go public on Tuesday. :D

third example looks like tumblr, but I heard "twitter" from the video
After you said that someone is anti-porn instead of anti-woman and anti-worker, shouldn't it be pro-woman and pro-worker? That they don't like porn bc they associate it with exploitation of workers and especially women? (Not a swerf btw, just trying to understand the sentence.) Great video!
Hmm. The line is "[some people] are hungry for articles that tell them being anti-porn is progressive, rather than anti-woman and anti-worker." So "anti-woman and anti-worker" as opposed to "progressive," not as opposed to "anti-porn." I realize that phrasing might be confusing...
Love it. Even in rough cut format.
If you're still rerecording (and haven't already) could I just suggest dropping"preferred" from pronouns at the end?
Good video! I wasn't sure about the metaphor at the beginning but as you got into it I realized that it made sense
Great video, although there is a small error at 10:36, where it says "distort" the truth on the screen but you say "contort". I love all of your quality work, both from this series and from you video essays on games!
Yeah, I saw that during the edit as well! I *think* I've caught all the flubs that I'll fix in the final narration. Good eyes, nonetheless!
TERF and SWERF are terms that aren't super widely used. I recognized them, but had to google what they were as a reminder. This worked because I knew they were acronyms and i knew how they were spelled. Maybe there is a way to briefly define them, OR (easier) show the spelling in the video so people can look it up for themselves? Or am I the only one who doesn't hear or read those terms very often?
I'm on the fence about it. Maybe throwing in a footnote, though I'm guessing I'll still get people who don't notice it asking what it means. We'll see what I decide tomorrow.
Small error but you said twitter on the example that uses Tumblr (about 2:20)
Yeah, I noticed that in the edit. It'll be fixed in the final recording.
This video not including a major rewrite is really damn good news - it means you're getting into a reliable routine! Producing quality content is fucking hard; if you're able to ship one piece of work and managed to aim for its general final direction right from the start, that means you're getting better and better at seeing the whole picture sooner and what might/will work and what not.
