5 | Laci Green is a self-styled "sexual futurist" who has been posting [[VlogSeries vlogs]] on Website/YouTube since joining the site in 2007. |
6 | |
7 | Similar to fellow vlogger WebVideo/TheAmazingAtheist, her early videos (under the [=YouTube=] channel "gogreen18") were geared toward anti-theism and religious politics. In 2008, Laci [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHCXaXNvgUI reinvented herself]] through a weekly series of [[VlogSeries vlogs]] (now titled "''Sex +''"), in which her discourse has shifted toward relationship advice and social commentary. |
8 | |
9 | Currently, Laci is juggling three [=Youtube=] usernames, with her main channel hosting over 100,000 subscribers. She also manages a ''Sex +'' blog, filled with random musings as well as tasteful 'reviews' of various sex toys and prophylactics ([[NotSafeForWork NSFW]], obviously), which can be found [[http://lacigreen.tv/ here]]. In addition, she also used to work for Discovery Networks as one of three hosts on their series of [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DNewsChannel DNews science news shorts.]] She is also hosting the web show ''WebVideo/MTVBraless'' which focuses on feminist and other social issues as well as sexuality. |
10 | |
11 | She also hosts a podcast about Internet Culture[[labelnote:*]]hate speech, dating apps, memes, etc.[[/labelnote]] called [[https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=indirect+message+laci+green "Indirect Message"]]. |

13 | ---- |
14 | !!Tropes: |
15 | |
16 | * AccentuateTheNegative: Despite her wide mix of intentionally hot-button topics, her biggest controversy is (ironically) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpRRtl2xcs4 the video]] where she tore into ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. |
17 | * BerserkButton: |
18 | ** People who confuse vaginas with vulvas. |
19 | ** Even though she's an atheist, atheists that gang up on theists and act as if they're superior just because they are atheists can definitely bring out her rage. See [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSbfUfiaUAQ here]]. |
20 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peBddZQbWYk Street harassment.]] |
21 | %%* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Repeatedly debunked. |
22 | %%* BondageIsBad: Discussed, and ultimately deconstructed in her video about ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey''. |
23 | %%* BrainyBrunette |
24 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: Deconstructed in her video about breast size, despite her being quite well-endowed herself. Lampshaded when she jokes that she's qualified to speak on the matter because of her big boobs. |
25 | * CantBelieveISaidThat: Contrasting the fatphobia of modern society with the Rubenesque paintings of the Baroque period, she calls for a return to "traditional values." ...wait. |
26 | * ClusterFBomb: [[http://lacigreen.tv/sexplus/gender/3178-the-crime-of-being-alone-and-female Telling a bunch of guys why certain pick up lines don't work]]. |
27 | * ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: Invoked by her video about reality TV-she stated she doesn't own a television, though she'd seen ''Series/TheHills'' among other programs when she visited her parents. |
28 | * CountryMatters: The subject of one video where she discussed the more sex-positive positive origins of the term. |
29 | * DisturbingStatistic: |
30 | ** Comparing the working hours of most industrial countries with those of Americans. |
31 | -->"'''SEVERAL HUNDRED EXTRA HOURS??''' Do you know how much ''sex''--[[LastSecondWordSwap tional work that translates into?]]" |
32 | ** After being told via Website/{{Twitter}} that she's not eligible for No Shave November.[[note]]To raise awareness of prostate cancer.[[/note]] She came back at them by saying most women spend a year of their life shaving. |
33 | --->"Sounds like [[StayInTheKitchen a good way to keep her occupied]]! As if I don't have anything better to do! I'm busy [[HypocrisyNod helping people out on the internet]], [[PrecisionFStrike motherfucker]]!" |
34 | * FreeLoveFuture / EthicalSlut: Her mission statement, more or less. |
35 | %%* GenkiGirl |
36 | * HurricaneOfEuphemisms: It's her ''vagina.'' Not her "hoo-ha", her "flower", her "special magic place"... |
37 | * IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: The most frequent charge leveled against her. |
38 | * LovableSexManiac: Played for laughs. |
39 | --->"C'mon. Do I look like a pervert who wants to see people naked to ''you''? [{{beat}}] Actually, [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder don't answer that question]]." |
40 | * LampshadedDoubleEntendre: "...and when the final exam rolls around, you'll be setting the curve. [-See what I did there? Setting the curve?-]" |
41 | * MaleGaze: Over 130 videos, and the one with the most hits is about boobs. |
42 | -->"I receive a lot of email in general about boobs. Makes sense." |
43 | * MayDecemberRomance: Discussed in one of her vids on when and how it can be appropriate and healthy. |
44 | %%* NerdsAreSexy: Easily embodies this trope. |
45 | * PunctuatedForEmphasis: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNzVn9d8o5U "OMG" - 12 Year Olds Aren't SEXY]] - "Where? Are? ''Her parents?!''" |
46 | * RebelliousSpirit: Her family is Mormon. |
47 | * ReligionIsWrong |
48 | * SafeSaneAndConsensual: This seems to be her mantra. Buffered by her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2BH6bAPdCk visit to a bondage club]] and inviting others to keep an open mind about it. |
49 | * UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco: A native, doubtlessly coloring her views on gender politics. |
50 | * ShapedLikeItself: (strums ukulele) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sHBAVjahp8&feature=relmfu Let's start at the very beginning / a very good place to start...]] ♪ |
51 | * SlutShaming: Heavily deconstructs this trope as harmful and oppressive. |
52 | %%* SoapboxSadie |
53 | %%* StalkerWithACrush: "Jeremy" from her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NURjhhz-fc Webcam Breakup]] video. |
54 | * StopBeingStereotypical: Her views on the condescending, scornful types of atheists who behave like [[JerkAss jerkasses]] and like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSbfUfiaUAQ they're right simply by being jerks]]. |
55 | * {{Suedonym}}: In a webchat, she revealed that she is called Laci but her surname is not Green. |
56 | * TheTalk: As a change of pace, her "Sex +" series is clearly geared toward a younger audience of around 18-25 years old. Few corners of internet boast a frank discussion of sex by such a palatable (i.e. non-skeezy) host. |
57 | * ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet: Parodied in the aptly titled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XgMi7lHGYw TITS OR GTFO]]" video. |
58 | * ThinkOfTheChildren: She says this at the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNzVn9d8o5U "OMG" - 12 Year Olds Aren't SEXY]] when asking why we must make a big deal about the media sexualising stuff geared toward children at younger and younger ages. |
59 | * WhatWereTheySellingAgain: Listing a spiel of breast-related insecurities, all taken from a hair product. |
60 | * WorldOfPun: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ5O6L6Jk8k Clit-ical Thinking!]] |
61 | %%* {{Xenofiction}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-seJ7BPmBo&feature=channel_video_title One of]] her videos combines this with SpeculativeDocumentary. |
62 | * YourMom: [[ThemeTune Peace be with everyone!]] ♪ [-'Cept your mom, wo-hah.-] |
63 | --> "...what?" |
