What about Overly Sarcastic Productions? I think their videos are fun.

(Anonymous) 2022-12-13 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sadly, I think their voice and/or presentation style is annoying. Absolutely no offense to them, it's just a problem on my end about it.

That’s fair.

Would you say they’re overly sarcastic?

Their takes are bad. They read the least charitable intent into everything and base their trope examples on fanon. There's being sarcastic, and then there's just being wrong.

I don’t agree at all. I don’t see them reading the least charitable attempt into everything, especially Red. And their takes are usually fine, when they even have takes instead of taking the mythology and history as is. They also address things they got wrong. And the Trope Talk series does use canon as examples just as much as fanon. And really, what’s wrong with using fanon as examples for tropes? It’s fine if you don’t like them, but I don’t think what you’re saying is true at all.

I hear you. That is a gorgeous tattoo. I love all things Norse and always have but goddamnit, you just know people with noise tattoos are dar right.

It sucks how we're suppose to abandon a thing when nazi's take an interest in it. Like once they pee in the pool everyone's gotta give the pool to them instead of kicking them out.

Norse pagans are fighting back on this, thankfully. There's nothing I love better than a heathen ready and willing to push a nazi right back out (and that's my metric for if the symbol is being used the right or wrong way--if you can't SAY "fuck nazis" while wearing a valknut, you don't deserve to wear a valknut.

I don't think so? But, like any crazies, you do need to be aware of the warning signs - I remember once reading a Guardian article that was about "Don't you hate it when men tell you what to do?" and having the slow and nasty realisation that it was actually a full-on TERF article. But I'm willing to bet it was deliberately written that way to lure in women who were feminists to see if they could turn a few more to the TERF side. Same with the Nazi shit in historical or European pagan topics, and the anti-vaxxers who proliferate in "lifestyle" or "health" articles.

Citing Von Daniken at ALL, big yikes.

(Anonymous) 2022-12-13 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
right? he was always a piece of shit with a long list of reasons why, but if I can add "white supremecist" to it, even better.

(Anonymous) 2022-12-13 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
There’s a guy on a podcast I like that kind of casually refers to his stuff and even that is too much for me.

Like, this is a research-based podcast and you just introduce Von Daniken’s bullshit without sources or naming him specifically? WTF

(Anonymous) 2022-12-13 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Funnily enough I believe the guy that Von Danniken stole most of his ideas from was a communist

Have you tried the Welsh viking? Jimmy hasn't posted in the last few months because of PhD work, but usually talks about costume history, historical context, and likes debunking fake history and fake archeological news.
