Oh, I just worked out that the ex-cop bouncer was gay. What suggests it's a gay bar specifically? Am I missing clothing cues?
The guy trying to get access suggested that the algorithm will assume someone is gay because their location is at this location tonight and Magic Mike a different night.
Oh, that should've been fairly obvious.
Like reflections in the glass!
A video on media, fandoms and parasocial relationships.
Perpetually Confused
It's a really good video. Especially his final summation that One's art shapes one's audience.
I know the whole stalker thing isn't a laughing matter, but Olly still spends several minutes reminding us that he's attractive and knows it. 
More seriously though, sometimes I almost wonder if youtubers like him make up those horror stories because yikes. It's hard to envision that people can actually spend their precious time actively and meticulously trying to destroy someone they don't know. Or to get into their pants for that matter.
Otherwise, interesting vid about an eternal question − who do we create art for? It reminds of a manga oneshot I translated where there's this page.

Sumiji: People are never alone. So they don't need to try and get acknowledged by an audience. Empathy isn't something to be enticed, it's always there from the start.
Spectator: Is it any wonder your films are so obscure with such a self-indulgent mindset? Films should ideally appeal to a large audience.
Sumiji: That's of no concern to me. My films will reach those who share my feelings. Deluding yourself with a desire to be understood or sympathized with defeats the point of being a filmmaker.
I'd say we first create mostly for ourselves, but if an audience connects to that, then we become "captive" of their expectations to keep connecting…
I don't think there made up. Like the think you are friends sort of stalker exists for real (apparently usually women, but also usually target other women so this case is less common though I'm sure not impossible just a general trend).

I wonder how he does his set design and lighting because it's gotten really good.
There's definitely something for the audience to unpack regarding him injecting in the personal and racketing up higher engagement as a result, I think there's a pretty common belief about personal passions or fascinations making people more productive because they have more investment and that's what came to mind after finishing, I dunno how to expand that into a more coherent thought.
Also yes after suffering through Nietzsche's writing at the beginning of this uni year, I definitely believe he would have been an insufferable pedant about Star Wars 8.
I'm going through some shit right now, and Olly talking about his experiences were really useful to me. They were applicable. And it's a narrative that's valuable because it's hard to come by.
Perpetually Confused
I had a chuckle when Olly was talking of Nietzsche and Wagner and going "Great things for Germany, Reicht?! I mean Right?"
Though it is somewhat unfair to Nietzche since in his case he wasn't an antisemite or nationalist. His sister was and she republished his work after his death, obfuscating or downplaying his state opinions that didn't flow her way, and its her publications that got big with Nazis and Facist.
Wagner was pure scum though, so was his daughter (a personal friend and patron of Hitler in his early carreer.)
This month, an exercise in dodging youtube censorship. 
Where Ollie talks about two books by Vladimir Nabokov. Including that one.
It's probably his most… outright philosophical video in a long while.

Ah The video is pretty interesting delving into the topic of beauty, desires and also inadvertently, the effect of current events.

I think the quarantine is getting to me too because I found myself nodding along with the erotic legumes segment.
I need to reread my Greek philosophy because I only remembered like half of that discussion about love, I definitely didn't recall the two-faced anthropods
His message was honestly something I needed to hear and I hope we can all find that something to keep us going.
A nice butterfly
Olly is already teasing his new work on Twitter.
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes

Today Oliver delves into a certain deep rooted evil
Oof… what the fuck, Karl? >.>
Still, that remains a mystery… Jews are a tiny minority (there are about as many Jews as Buddhists in my country) and not exactly the most "visible", to the point I wasn't even aware antisemitism was a thing until my teenage years (when we got the history class about you-know-what). Nowadays you could argue that the whole shit with Israel and Palestine serves as fuel, but it seems like it was much worse before that…
Anyway, I think Olly tackled the subject as best as he could have, with care and nuance. And one hell of a clean shave.

...As someone who got on board with the channel after he really leaned into the theatrics, seeing him without a beard is way more disorienting than I thought it would be.
I vaguely heard about the Dreyfuss Affair in passing while doing research on Guérin for a university essay on proto-fascism in Europe and how it contrasted regionally but I didn't quite realize just how much of a societal effect it had.
The callout portion for Marx and angelic "what can I say but YIKES" was hilarious
This was an excellent in-depth discussion on how to engage with antisemitism and I think he approached it from a good number of angles, historical and contemporary. Though a lot of the French stuff like the epithets for historical figures really flew over me except for the stuff that was blatantly obvious for an English speaker >_>
I do wonder how some of the stuff mentioned currently in the cultural epoch will hold up later on.
In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good.
I'm not sure it covered much new ground for me, but it was a very good overview of how these concepts all link together.
The religious eliment of Malthus has never been highlighted to me before though and that is interesting.
One of the main things I remember about Malthus is something John Greene once said about him - namely that his theories were already proven wrong by what was going on outside his window when he put these theories to paper
Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen.
Alas, the feelings of the upper class don't care much for facts.
Malthusian thought was pretty much a driving factor behind the Irish Potato Famine - which is why at least some people consider it a genocide.
The person in charge literally blamed the Irish for starving because they "bred too much" and therefore kept up exporting food from Ireland, while simultaneously trying to block anyone else from aiding the population.

Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen.
This month, a more didactic video, analyzing a speech from a certain Roman senator.
Damn Olly suits the emo look so well.
What makes this episode really hit hone is the implication that this is taking place at a queer bar.
