History YMMV / SarahZ

** In "I Was Wrong About Queerbaiting", Sarah posits that a cis man expressing himself in a gender nonconforming way (including crossdressing) can still be argued as doing something queer and uses well-known WholesomeCrossdresser Twitch streamer F1NN5TER as an example. Later, in 2024, F1NN5TER came out as not being cis, though as of this writing has admitted he's not sure if he'd put a label on his gender just yet beyond still preferring he/him pronouns (arguing that the closest he could think of is genderfluid).

* GrowingTheBeard: Once she stopped making nitpicky complaining videos about the likes of ''Series/{{Heathers}}'', ''Series/ThirteenReasonsWhy'', ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'' etc - though those did contain some thoughtful critiques - her content became much more thorough, not to mention the better filming quality! WebVideo/LadyEmily joining her as co-writer also added a welcome (and still witty) second point of view to future videos.

** After she ''specifically'' used Destiel as an example of a queer-baited ship that will never happen in her Johnlock video, that week's episode of ''Supernatural'' confirmed it, at least on Castiel's end[[note]] She commented about this in the comments to the Johnlock video and noted that while the episode ''did'' confirm that Castiel had feelings for Dean, it is ambiguous in the episode itself if Dean actually feels the same way and she will only rescind her comments about Destiel if Dean confesses his own love for Cas in the finale, which he didn't[[/note]].

--->'''Sarah''': People are informing me that this video may have killed Rumsfeld by means of psychic energy. I can confirm this to be true.

** With the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' podcast ''Podcast/TrialsAndTrebuchets'', as Sarah is one of the players.

** In "The Rise and Fall of Teen Dystopias", Sarah mentions she'll refrain from discussing her opinions on ''Literature/TheHandmaidsTale'' because she doesn't want to invoke legal threats from the Church of Scientology after the ''Homestuck'' debacle. Colleague WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows picks up the joke when he ends up making a video on Edgar Winter and L. Ron Hubbard's ''Mission Earth'' album, saying he has to tread carefully about the record so he doesn't have to make a video called "Scientology Sued Me, and Then it Got Worse" (mirroring the title of Sarah's second ''Homestuck'' video).

* TearJerker: The end of the TJLC video is pretty sad, as Sarah reflects on the [=JohnLock=] fandom gradually having to accept that their ship was never going to be an OfficialCouple and that the creators of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' were laughing ''at'' them, not ''with'' them, leading to heartbreak and the community around the show falling apart. (And the overall writing quality of [[IdiotPlot Season 4]] didn't help.) Especially given how she points out that many of these fans were young LGBT+ teens who weren't as familiar with queerbaiting yet and didn't understand that all of the gay jokes ''were'' jokes, not {{Foreshadowing}}.
