Lindsay Ellis is literally calling it quits because of that Raya tweet. She has over a million YouTube subscribers and about 9,000 Patrons and her career couldn't survive *one* problematic tweet. That's what operating in that toxic space is like.
I'd tell her this directly but she blocked me years ago for being critical of her role in doing this type of shit to other people so...

Oh here's Lindsay scolding Tom Scott because a woman in one of his videos made "transphobic posts" years ago that she deleted and he didn't know about. But I guess a lot has happened in the world since *checks tweet date* Saturday.
She makes excellent videos, but you want to talk oblivious? Go watch her video about the Omageverse writer who threatened to sue her. It's amazing how someone can both participate in, and warn of the dangers of, the same types of behavior simultaneously.
Here it is. I don't remember if watching the previous Omegaverse video of hers is necessary for this but tl;dr one of the authors got mad and threatened to sue her and played victim.
