This was a great article but I think this part in particular encapsulates what I feel is the real problem with this "what to do with Jacob Geller" discourse. He lied to us all because he wanted to make money as an influential video essayist. Tl;dr most YouTubers are scumbags.

I loved Jacob’s work to. It inspired me. That’s not gonna change. It will always be a part of my life. But I wish I had given that love and time and money and attention to someone who was also making great art who hadn’t violated someone so completely. He didn’t give me that choice. I have it now.

It honeslty just shows me how much rape culture exists. With James Somerton, we all collectively agreed he didn’t deserve a platform anymore, and he disappeared. I’m sure he’s got some job somewhere, living a life. But an admitted rapist, well, he we must forgive, because some of us liked his stuff.

Jessie Gender @jessiegender.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

“No one is saying “Gellar should disappear.” We’re saying he should not seek a public platform & that many will now not support him if he does. Sucks if he does, cause some will support him because we forgive rapists more easily than plagiarist like James Somerton.

One thing that's been bothering me in the last couple days is I have never seen this level of "we should forgive and forget" "rehabilitation" for any woman doing anything perceived as or actually wrong no matter how small compared to literally having sexually assaulted someone.

Finally saw The Uprising. Feels like a vauge outline of a movie. Structurally it’s fine (except the end) but nothing feels specific. Characters talk only in vague generalities or plot, like someone meant to plug in specific traits and personality later on. Bummer cause it’s an interesting time.

I think it is evidence of how so much we have been made to think that gaining an audience is the goal of life in this attention-seeking economy that saying "a rapist shouldn't seek a public persona that is available for consumption" is taken as equivalent to saying they "can never rejoin society."

Loving South Park continually using ableist slurs, anti-trans humor, AI imagery and the continual idea that “small penis makes you less of a man” as humor that everyone loves. But they say “Trump bad” so it’s ok right?

I believe in restorative justice. I want that for Jacob and perhaps he was on that path (though fuck his uni for giving him the meagerest of punishments, but that’s the system working as intended). But he is owed nothing & he owes his/other victims ALL his consideration, which he did not give.

Jessie Gender @jessiegender.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The “restorative justice” convos around Geller l miss the point. Maybe he is/was on that path. But he is owed nothing from us and I have more empathy for victims who found comfort in his work (like myself, I own his fucking book) and now feel betrayed at having emotionally invested in an abuser.

Gonna be honest, between Jacob Gellar and Cornell (I went to Ithaca College) it’s been a real shit week. Having just written extensively about rape and assault for a recent video, all this has honestly just hit me awfully. I hate living in a culture where rape is so common, so excused and enabled.

I'm rewatching Rings of Power and I always liked it, but season one works WAYYYY better knowing the answers to the mystery box bullshit of "who is Sauron, who is the Stranger" and just seeing all the hints where its leading, like all the nods in how Halbrand bis Sauron. It works 1000x better.

Just discovered a youtuber who has grown fast in the nerd space openly advocates writing with AI on his linkedin, and its annoying me that his content makes literally 3x my own. At least makes me feel good that I clocked he was def using AI from the way he spoke months ago.

“That distinction matters” and variations of it is a phrase I have come to loathe. It not only reek ls of AI, but it’s seeped into people’s who I know don’t use AI through cultural osmosis. Even my own. It’s meaningless most of the time. Of course it matters, you’re arguing that. Convince me.

Sam Altman has literally said this out loud. He wants to sell “intelligence”. He doesn’t mean “AI intelligence” They want to steal all our knowledge by burning our books for the AI, make us unable to think criticallly to rediscover our own humanity, & force us to pay for shitty AI “intelligence”.

Don’t use pronouns for AI. It is not a person nor ever will. Sam Altman isn’t making the god computer of his wet dream nightmares. They’ve made a shitty tool built on theft thats destroying the planet & is meant to lower human critical thinking while given military weapons by rich idiots.

Because Tilly is a pretty object made to be used by men, so of course it’s a “she” to them. Whereas trans woman clearly have interiority & agency who use it to refuse their bullshit hierarchy, so of course we are villainous subhuman monsters undeserving/incapable of having true personhood.
