Tiktok Theorist slop

[Koen G]

I had a lot of doubts about making this video, for many reasons:

• I don't want to be a gossip channel.
  
• It doesn't feel nice to "kick down", by which I mean, shred someone's argument to bits when most people already know how bad it is. They're a very easy target, like mocking the mad drunk on the street corner.
  
• By lecturing them, I'd basically play into their narrative.
  
• Depending on one's viewpoint, they were basically crossing all the boxes: misogyny, misandry, perpetuating the patriarchal ideals of bionormativity feminism should be fighting, racism, maybe even some latent antisemitism.... and that's not even getting to the scientific part of it.
  

Normally I'd just let it be, really, just like I won't make a video about every new Voynich theory that doesn't work. But it blew up so much, and I noticed that people who don't know much about the VM were wondering: was something actually discovered? So I ended up recording something after all. I see a lot of appreciation in the comments, so I think it was useful for many people who don't follow the research closely.
