Okay I'm completely obsessed with Poppy. But not Titanic Sinclair.
I think his work with Poppy is good. I think he's doing a good job with the whole Poppy persona. Him and Poppy you can tell are a team and have built this persona really strategically. It's like satire of the pop culture or YouTube culture by injecting themselves into YouTube culture and pop culture. BUT I think the only thing that makes Poppy interesting is the way the message is delivered and also how aesthetically pleasing and stylish the whole thing is. It's very clean and polished. The message is very typical. It's like bashing pop culture whilst benefitting from bashing it. And for that you can tell they are well aware of that. I wish Poppy could go on into more of a story and character. To make it more interesting. I definitely think there's some important messages being said but I feel like they could take it like 1000 steps further. But time could tell.
Now. Titanic Sinclair himself. His character is different. He's more sonon the societal and basic idea of "the government controls everything" , "we are robots" and all that jazz. His stuff is more like the typical straight white boy satire shit. It doesn't really stick out. And it's kinda how he may think it's edgy to think this way when really it fits right into the status quo. Everyone is anti society or anti control. Just cause you present the same view in a different way that sounds like it's not the same view as everybody elses, doesn't make you edgy or artistic at all. It just makes you part of the status quo. And I think white artists have this problem in general. Cause they have the privilege and realize that society is fuckedt up over time or whatever and they feel like they are doing something courageous by calling out "the man" or doing work that goes against the machine. When really it's not doing or contributing anything.
His Twitter is one big troll mixed with his personal views. By the looks of it, he's actually pretty liberal but sees the problem with the whole liberalistic culture and also with conservative culture. Or the "wings" lol.
I would love to see this type of format on a person of color. Joanne The Scammer kinda does this with the portrayal of brown woman who believes that she's actually Caucasian. But is high key a thief who steals to improve herself just like how white people have stolen from cultures to benefit themselves. It's like a satire on the self hate culture that people of color experience where they feel like they have to conform to whiteness or else they feel less than. I would wanna see it that isn't in a form of comedy but more so in the form of the way Titanic and Poppy do it. Just on a person of color.
Anyways just my thoughts cause I watched all their videos and did so much research on them this weekend.
