Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

IIRC from watching the video a couple days ago he has more examples than just Prince of Persia where western musicians will use "Persian" in either the generic titles of their bland background music, or use it interchangeable when describing the music and inspiration.

Although I guess the latter being used interchangeably might be your point? Or do you mean westerners literally do not think of or use the term Persia or Persian?

I mean that I don't think the average America would think of "Persia" for the generic orientalist project here. I am not implying that he himself is not aware or cognizant of the difference. This is becoming a bigger deal than my one off little joke here was meant to be.
