I’m sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn’t think of anywhere better to ask about it

the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas

edit: I’ve just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don’t know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad

        Primative Technology. That guy is just… unfathomableable. Pots, fire, bricks, crops, shelter, kilns, repeat, no words, no justification. We can’t even be certain the guy in the video wrote the subtitles. Has he ever even acknowledged the camera? Is he a good guy? Evil? How would I tell? Does it even matter?

    If you admire Technology Connections, take a look at Cathode Rad Dude. Exudes a lot of the same energy.

    I was going to suggest John and Hank Green until I realized you already included them! So how about Destin Sandlin from Smarter Every Day?

    Grady Hillhouse of Practical Engineering. He provides so much insight to the constructed world around us and, more recently, has done a ton of work to digest complex reports to, as he puts it, “elevate the discussion” around manmade disasters so that the layman can have a more informed opinion.

    Pannenkoek as well. He’s pretty niche, making videos almost exclusively about Mario 64, but he has an incredible talent for teaching complex technical concepts in an understandable way. It’s often really hard for people that freakin smart to turn around and explain their knowledge to a layman, but Pannen puts a ton of work into visuals and examples to make sense of some really comprehensive stuff.

    Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe. They’ve always had a mission to reach queer kids and have taken inspiration from Mr. Rogers to help children love and accept themselves. Over the course of their career, they’ve really come out of their shell and fought for representation in cartoons, driving the whole medium forward while supporting their peers across the animation industry. They’ve been pretty quiet online since the end of Steven Universe, but it’s because they’re out there in person at LGBTQ+ youth centers teaching kids how to understand and express themselves. I didn’t know what it meant to have a role model until I started following their career.

      Seems unnecessary to list women just because they are women.

          I don’t see what’s edgy about that. You should include people in that list for who they are and what they do. Not because of their gender.

          If you think of women who you would put on that list then suggest them. OP asked for that. Be the change you want to see.

            You seem a bit troll-y too but I’ll bite.

            The only one suggesting to add women because they are women is the edgy beb. The change I want to see is edgies being made to feel small. I have achieved based on their anemic come back :)

            The person starting this thread wants to see the world you’re suggesting I create. And in doing so has opened a whole new class of YouTuber for our dear OP to explore…the analogy about fish, fishing and teachers come to mind

      He asked for suggestions :) Go ahead and give us a list of women who you think should be on the list.

      I’ll start (also YouTubers)
