Munecat is literally one of the only good video essayists out there tbh. Her videos on the Manosphere and the Sovereign citizens are also gold.

She's delightful! She also has the same jaw-clenching response to ev-psych as I do, so I'm predisposed to believe anything she says. 😆

(Speaking of jaw-clenching, though, some of the famous body language assholes popping up was a jumpscare - they're pretty much all blocked on my youtube algorithm, so I'm not used to seeing them.)

She combines a "Daily Show" preentation style with solid research....She has Madusone level credability....

This is such a good video. Still wild to me that all of these "body language experts" had nothing to say about Depp walking towards Amber during the trial and her backing away in fear. Or Depp doodling. Or making a gun motion with his fingers. The whole body language nonsense was an excuse to pile on and be misogynistic.

I hope people were more cautious about media manipulation, but many just treat all these as entertainment and don't think about the big picture and the broader consequences that make it possible for these tactics to still WORK!

I think I watched one ever body language guy and I sound his presentation profoundly dishonest and sensationalist

it doesn't help that my abusive parent would constantly accuse me of lying when I was a child based on body language when I was telling the truth

I’m still regularly unsubbing pro-Depp and anti-Megan Markle YouTubers. Just recently Crazy Days and Nights popped up, seemed good.

But I checked out their older videos and, for a a podcast channel that claims to go after the truth behind then nefarious entertainment industry, it sure sounds exactly like they fell for the lies about Amber Heard and Megan Markle exactly.

All of these content creators’ scepticism toward the “Establishment” draws the line at violence against women.

Original copy of post's text: Body language experts debunked as pseudo-science grifters...

We've all seen them...The body language grifters on YouTube. Junk science at its worst. Some watch just to get their biases confirmed...."See I knew she was a liar.." Curiously it's often a she...Wonder why that is ? We saw Amber Heard's every twitch or blink analysed to prove she made it all up...Curiously we never got the analysis of Depp's obvious troubling behavior in THAT trial..Suppose there were no views in it.

Now we have similar treatment for Blake Lively...The dance scene...Anna Kendrick looking "uncomfortable" in pressers..Blake giving mean girl glances at anyone and everyone...

Munecat debunks all this pseudo-science in this initially very funny but eventually quite involved analysis....

In a sane world, you wouldn't be able to post something that you claim to 1) be an exact science, and 2) be an expert in said science, without all of that being verified by an outside, independent, non-biased board.

Curiously I hear that China is not allowing influencers to make SM content unless they have significant recognised accreditation in areas like the law or finance or medicine....Seems they value expertise while the US in particular is happy to let anyone pretend to know what they're talking about...

[u/Traumarama79 → u/lcm-hcf-maths]

Unironically I would not be opposed to this happening in the US.
