Scheduling First Google Hangout
Hello $15+ patrons! As I said in my previous post, this month I'll be trying out a new reward, namely an invitation to a Google hangout where you can ask me anything or just chat. I'll try to do it this weekend, at a time that's hopefully somewhat reasonable for both American and Europea...
Reward Level Updates, Upcoming Livestream
Hi friends,(Quick note to new patrons: if you became a patron last month, you'll be in the credits for the first time this month. If you became a patron this month, you'll be in the credits for the first time next month. This is because you're not charged for anything until the beginning...
NEW VIDEO! I Am Genderqueer (And What the #@%! That Means)
What an ongoing anxiety attack of a video this was. Obviously the subject matter is very personal, but I tried to make a video that was not just about me, but about gender identity in general.I've been working on this video all week and haven't had a chance to update the patron reward levels...
NEW VIDEO! Is BDSM Feminist?
Trying the dialogue-between-characters form again, and I think the talk show works better than the Skype call. Let me know what you think!Also, welcome to a lot of new patrons this months, and thanks as always to all of you for making this happen! New patrons will be added to the credits starting ne...
Live Stream with The Distributist
Hi all,Just letting you know that in about half an hour I'll be doing a live stream with The Distributist, i.e. "Chesterton" from my casual sex video. We'll probably be talking feminism, the sexual revolution, pick-up artists, MGTOW. If you can't make the stream (as I'm guess...
Guest Appearance on Polite Conversations with Eiynah (podcast)
Hi friends,Thought you all might want to check out my appearance on the podcast Polite Conversations with Eiynah, where we discuss Islam, secularism, cross-dressing, BDSM, and dicks.I recommend listening to other episodes of the podcast too: past guests have included Sam Harris, Dan Savage, and othe...
NEW VIDEO! What the Alt-Right Fears
So this is the result of about the most work it's physiologically possible for me to put into a video in eight days. Hopefully it pays off! I didn't read credits aloud at the end, because with the singing it didn't make sense. What I did instead to distinguish the $10 and $5 levels is gi...
NEW VIDEO! Is Casual Sex Bad for Your Soul?
Finally! My focus this time was improving the visual look of the video. My big epiphany was that—having my camera and software requirements pretty much fulfilled—what really matters is what's in front of the camera in the first place. So I'm trying to devote more attention to costume, ma...
New ContraPoints Live Stream Channel
Hi team,Just letting you know that I've just created a new channel where I plan to start hosting live streams. When I've done social streams in the past, people tend to complain that I'm too shy and don't talk enough. So I'm going to start doing my own streams where I'm the d...
NEW VIDEO! Punching Natsees
I really tried a lot of new stuff this time, so I'm extra eager for any feedback! If people like this "dialogue" type of video I might do more like this. One of the advantages is it's a good way to present multiple sides of a contentious issue, which is what you want to do in respons...
Alt Version of Video for Blocked Euro Countries
Hi all,My new video is blocked in several European countries due to bogus flagging of the video by Nazis. But I want to make sure all of you can view the video, so I've uploaded a copy to Veoh, link attached! Let me know if you have any trouble viewing it.
NEW VIDEO! Why White Nationalism is Wrong
It's finally done! This one took longer than any video I've done, because I'm using a new camera, new mic, new operating system and new software all at once. Speaking of which, thank you so much!!! Your support for this channel has allowed me to make videos at a frequency and quality lev...
NEW VIDEO! Psychiatry | ALSO: Production Update
New subject matter for me on YouTube, but something I have some serious experience with at this point. Looking forward to hearing a range of perspectives on this topic.This'll hopefully the last video I do with my current setup. Here's my plan for future videos: my brother is letting me borr...
NEW VIDEO! Baltimore: Anatomy of an Uprising
At last! So sorry for the delay, this video required more research and editing work than anything I've done before. Hopefully it's worth it! Lots of new people in the credits this month, I'm happy to say. And if you're a newer patron you'll be included next month.I'll be post...
New Patrons Will Be in Next Month's Credits!
Hi all,I've gotten a couple messages from people wondering why they aren't in the credits yet. The answer is that Patreon doesn't charge you till the beginning of the following month, so if you became a patron after November 1, you'll be in the credits starting with my December video...
NEW VIDEO! Fat Acceptance
Enjoy!
GOAL REACHED!
Dearest Patrons,I simply cannot thank you enough. In less than two months my support here has doubled, and I'm now able to do this full time. It's a somewhat precarious existence, admittedly, but I'm certainly better off than I was before, and, for as long as this lasts, it's really ...
NEW VIDEO! President Trump
High information to entertainment ratio in this one, but I think the subject matter demands it, and these are desperate times... Let me know what you think! (The next one I do will be superfun to make up for all this horror.)
NEW VIDEO! Cultural Appropriation
Discusses racist costumes, Native American mascots, white dreadlocks, black music, and more! It's a prickly topic, I know, and complicated. Let me know what you all think!
NEW VIDEO! Pick-Up Artists
As you'll notice, the lighting is much better in this video. It makes a huge difference! Thank you all for making that happen! <3As always, hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think!
New Reward Levels!
Hi all, as I mentioned earlier I've added some new reward levels. Let me just explain each level so you know what you're getting:$1: this gives you basic access to my Patreon feed, including updates, previews, and input about which gold hot pants I should wear, for instance.$2: this level no...
GOAL REACHED!
We did it! Just hit $250 per video after my last post, and as promised I'll be getting some better lighting to improve the look of my videos. Doing a little research on what to get, and I'll hopefully have the new lights for my next video!I'm very happy with the rate of growth I've s...
NEW VIDEO! Alpha Males
I decided to defer to you guys' preference for the shiniest possible hot pants. It was the right call. Oh, and I will update the reward levels later today or tomorrow, so there will be another post about that. Anyway, enjoy!
Trying to decide which pair of gold hotpants to wear for my response to The Golden One...
An important artistic decision.
NEW VIDEO! Non-Binary Genders
Had a lot of fun with this one. Enjoy!
New Reward Tiers Coming
Hi all,Just want to notify you that I'll be revamping the pledge options/rewards next month. I'd like to provide more tiers (maybe $1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20 or something) and offer some better rewards. The only reward I'm really happy with on the current system is the credits. People haven'...
Livestream with The Skeptic Feminist
Thought you guys might enjoy this. Livestreamed with The Skeptic Feminist last night. The video should start at 51:27, where I discuss the backstory of the "Anita Shrine" prop.
NEW VIDEO! Pop Feminism
Lots of editing man-and/or-woman-hours went into this one. You can see your Patreon support at work! Hope you enjoy it! <3
NEW VIDEO! Why I Quit Academia
Let me know what you guys think! :)
New Video Coming Tomorrow!
Hi all,I'm putting the finishing touches on my next video, which I should have up tomorrow. This one's about my reasons for leaving academia, which I know is a little bit of a deviation from my usual subject matter. I hope you will find it interesting, though, and relevant to the general con...
