Transcript excerpt
I'm not here to offer you a think piece on Drew of Wallow. I just wanna roll a clip from a video I published in April that I got absolutely crucified for. Okay. Basically, I consider Drew of Wallow to be a grifter in exactly the same way I consider Alex Cooper to be a grifter. Drew F. Wallow's job is not to solve body positivity. It's not to get women rights. It's not to protect or uplift trans people. It is to constantly affirm that those issues still worst, and you should be angry about tier, and you should trust her to be the loudest and angriest about it while also making it a joke. That is grifting necessarily because you are not trying to get society to progress. You are profiting off its regressions. And you should try to guess how much money she's made off the virality of that clip in both actual payment from the platforms and potential payment from her sponsors.
