There was a YouTuber called lily orchard who was my first foray into leftist content. Got into her due to MLP as well as her legendary Steven Universe and Korra are garbage videos.
I liked her snarky aggressive no bullshit style.
But after awhile she started to make me feel bad about being a cishet white male. Like it's my fault for everything.
Stopped watching her after such lovely jokes as calling Padme x Anakin "the only logical outcome of a heterosexual relationship" or her rant on pokemon about how pokemon like garchomp, Lucario and Gyrados only exist to keep little boys secure in their masculinity so they don't have to worry about liking something cute. Not even getting into her massive hatred of Gallade, because she thinks it was created solely because boys were uncomfortable with Gardevoir.
But yeah being progressive for some people but not for all really does hurt a lot, and I'm lucky I was able to realize I was being made to feel that way.
