On the topic of Vivian Strange appropriating the Instagram updates of the female Palestinian content creator Bisan Owda on his Youtube channel
Vivian has repeatedly appropriated the Instagram updates of Bisan Owda, a Palestinian zillennial influencer who was making travel vlogs about Ghaza before the war. I had posted about Bisan's Instagram account here on OF before, because for a while archive.is wouldn't let me archive her updates (this has since been corrected).
When the war in Ghaza started, the building where Bisan's studio was located was one of the first buildings that was bombed by the IDF. It was a fairly tall building from the looks of it, so who know who was hiding there. Perhaps she knew, perhaps she didn't have clue and needly suffered the loss of her office. She herself had to flee Ghaza City where she and her family were living to the South of Ghaza. She refers to herself as homeless and has since been moving from encampment to encampment. She has become a war correspondent for Al Jazeera's AJ+ channel, Al Arabiya and other ME news outlets. She has been posting her vlogs on Instagram, which is where Vivian found them, ripped them and combined them into one long 9+ hour Youtube video:
Here are Vivian's community posts about the above video:
Basically, what do you do when you want to be Dylan Burns, but you're too mentally ill to be Dylan Burns? You appropriate other people's content and make a documentary with their content. I have criticized Dylan Burns a lot on this forum, but I will respect Dylan for the fact that he's making his own documentaries, shooting and editing his own footage that he shot himself on the ground in Ukraine with his own paying that he's paying to risk their lives along with him. He's not just taking someone else's vlogs and combining them and calling that a "documentary".
Vivian claims he is doing this for the sake of "the historical record", despite having threatened to nuke his Youtube channel in a bad mood and having already done so with another channel, and continuing to violate Youtube's ToS by repeatedly openly advocating violence. I can't tell if Vivian's compilation of Bisan's Instagram stories is monetized (because I use an ad blocker, if someone can check this please let me know), but this is basically his idea of "solidarity": ripping off a female content creator's work in the name of "history".
I hereby openly challenge Vivian Strange to actually contact Bisan - as well as any of these other Palestinian content creators whose content he's been ripping and using in his videos - and to request permission to cross-post her Instagram stories to Youtube. And don't give me this shit about "How can I reach Bisan? She's in the midst of a warzone!". That's not a valid excuse. You could channel your request through Al Jazeera. You could reach out the people who run her fundraiser on GoFundMe that you've linked to. You chose not to ask for Bisan's permission to steal her shit and put it on your channel because you're a fucking troon, and the whole purpose of being a fucking troon is to take take and take from women without ever asking their permission.
This is literally who these fucking troons are, they think they can just take and take and take from women without asking any permission ever.
In one of his first videos about the war in Ghaza, Vivian, audibly on the verge of crying, read the following post by Bisan, which he mischaracterized as a "eulogy", falsely suggesting that Bisan had died and this was meant as a post-mortem.... but he is actually still alive, and continues to post almost daily vlogs on Instagram. So why did Vivian lie and make it seem like Bisan was dead? I'll be charitable and assume it was something other than the typical troon necrophilia that those of us who are following TRAs we're long used to.
Here is Bisan's original Instagram post:
Here is Vivian reading it on his Livestream:
Regardless of where you stand on the war in Ghaza, this post, which was clearly written by an unarmed civilian/journalist fearing for their lives, was appropriated by a gross American troon who turned it into false agitprop, falsely suggesting the person who wrote this was already dead when they weren't. He recorded himself crying over this Instagram update... and then he went back to posting gross t-porn on his OnlyFans account.
I am sure that Bisan herself has no idea any of this appropriation is currently happening, but I bet if she knew that some gross OnlyFans troon had gone anywhere near her work, let alone stolen it and placed it on his own channel, she would be horrified and offended. Mind you, this is a troon who, until a few months ago, was still too busy talking about his gurldiq on his "Genderweird" podcast to give any fucking attention to any born woman on this planet.
Regardless of how much I disagree with Dylan Burns and his one-sided presentation of the war in Ukraine which I often find to be distorted, technocratic and hawkish, he is making his own documentaries, using his own footage, with a local crew and local fixers that he paid to take him into Ukraine, conducting his own interviews with Ukrainians, at least TRYING to learn the local language (something Null didn't even try when he was living in Odesa), as well as having an official press pass.
Vivian's "documentaries" consist of almost nothing but pilfered material from Palestinian content creators' social media accounts. I doubt Vivian has even bothered to reach out to them to obtain permission to repost their social media videos to Youtube. These videos are thus mere compilations, not "documentaries". They get nowhere near the same amount of engagement as his other videos do, because trannie chasers follow troons online for the degeneracy disguised as media criticism. The chasers that follow troon channels expect them to talk about the mouthfeel of their gurldiques and what fascist bitches women are for refusing to suq their gurldiques, not to talk about wars. Bisan herself obviously knows nothing about this discourse, which is what allows someone like Vivian to lionize her at the same time as he's stealing her content for himself.
As for Vivian's insistence that Bisan's Instagram updates aren't content, this fetishization of immediacy and apparent authenticity of these updates is meant to undermine the fact that Bisan, very intentionally, has allowed her social media channel to be weaponized by Hamas to put out various false narratives. Most heinously, Bisan was one of the Palestinian influencers who insisted that Hamas terrorists had never raped anyone on Oct 7th. Just like Al Jazeera, when the UN came out and conceded, after going over AV evidence, that Hamas had actually raped their victims and sexually tortured them, Bisan did not retract her earlier post, and she remained silent about the UN report conceding to the fact of Hamas rapes. Bisan is thus very much a content creator, as an aggregator of Hamas' ridiculously false "not our boys" talking point.
Rape In War: Pro-Hamas Propaganda in Focus
Here is Vivian's community post about his latest release, "Gaza Diaries, Week One: 10/7/23 - 10/13/23" (Vivian spells Ghaza as "G4Z4" and Palestine as "P4L3ST!N3" in a vain attempt at fooling the Youtube algorithm), where he once again appropriates Bisan's updates together with those of other Palestinian content creators, many of whom are now regular war correspondents for Al Jazeera and others:
In the description for the Ghaza Diaries, Vivian hysterically insists that his video compilation of other people's content is "NOT ENTERTAINMENT. THIS IS NOT CONTENT.". I would say that the moment something is appropriated outside its original context, purely for the sake of assuaging an American far-left guilt trip, that's the very moment it becomes mere content.
Gaza Diaries, Week One: 10/7/23 - 10/13/23
Vivian Strange knows that if he went to Ghaza and told them he had a gurldiq and called the women there fascist TERFs for being disgusted by his "Western degeneracy", perhaps calling Bisan Owda herself a "fascist TERF" if she laughed in his face for claiming that he's "a woman with a gurldiq", he knows Hamas would be dispatched and then it would go something like this:
Vivian claims that he "tried to make 2 movies before the age of 20", one of which was a troon re-imagining of Waiting For Troondot by the sounds of it, but elsewhere he admits that with "trying to make movies" he actually means writing screenplays that he will never show to anyone and will never attempt sell.
Thus in the name of pointless artistic purity, Vivian will remain as starving an artist in America as a Palestinian in Ghaza, so make sure to check out his OnlyFans - or actually don't, cos maybe he needs to learn to sell those screenplays and make money from his own artistic practice instead of appropriating the lives of people who are in the midst of a war and cannot object to their appropriation by an American drug-addicted degenerate with a severe case of Palestine Derangement Syndrome.
Here's what Vivian had to say about the Holocaust - because like most of these far-left crypto-antisemites, he will happily virtue signal about that - and watching the 9,5 hour documentary Shoah in one of his Letterboxd lists:
This is who these far-leftists are: they will virtue-signal endlessly about the Holocaust for brony points, but they don't give a fuck about what contemporary Dzooz in the 21st century actually want or are going through. They call Dzooz "colonizers" and "genociders" for wanting to be safe in their own homeland where they can do as they please, the same way everyone else around the world has their own homeland to do as they please. There are many Islamist theocracies on different continents where muslims can do as they please (oppress women, kill gays, factionalism, corruption, fundamentalism, weaponize demographics, etc). There is only ONE Dzooish country on the whole planet, and that one single Dzooish country is just too much for all these far-left crypto-antisemites of which Vivian Strange is but one. If you don't give a fuck about what living Dzooz in the 21st century actually want, namely to live in peace and safety in their own country, if you insist on calling them "genociders" and "colonizers" for simply wanting what everyone else around them already has, a place of their own, then I don't give a shit how many times you've sat through Shoah.
Next, fuck your anarchist anti-Stateism. If you know anything about the history of the Dzooz, then you should know that Dzooz already had those debates about Stateism versus anti-Stateism in the last century. I know you fucking anti-State far-leftists will never accept this, but there are groups of people out there who WANT their own State, no matter how wrong y'all think that the concept of the State is. There was a branch of anti-State secular Jewry at the beginning of the 20th century, which was Bundism.
Jewish Anti-Zionism: History and Struggle
The Bundist Dzooz were against the Zionist Dzooz, but they eventually lost from the Zionists, because Zionism was simply the more attractive and more sensible option to the majority of Dzooz, then the nebulous concept of "hereness" that the Bund was promoting. Why do you anarchists want to rehash a debate that has already been won in favour of Zionism/Stateism? Dzooz don't want hazy, Marxist, bullshit concepts like "hereness" that forces them to wallow in their outsider status as a minority. Dzooz simply want their own fucking place. How can a purported anarchist who believes in concepts like "Autonomous Zones" not understand this? This is how I know his fucking brain has been fried by the drugs and the HRT. #MATI

We will not forgive you
I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.
...
We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget.

My Cinemasochist Endurance Watchlist
In addition to the how good the films themselves are, I LOVE watching really really long movies as endurance exercises. Despite how soul-crushing and miserable it is, one gets a little dopamine burst of accomplishment upon finishing Satantango, whcih is a relief because such a film would be utterly unbearable if it were merely 3-4 hours long.
Some of these I've seen before, many I have not. Personally, I am dreading repeating Shoah, easily the most difficult cinematic experience of my life, but damn it, I must persevere. That is the cinephile's obligation to history: it is our responsibility to REMEMBER the stories that the rest of the world would rather forget. No one will voluntarily watch a nine hour documentary like that out of pleasure, but if someone wants to make light of the Holocaust or loses historical perspective on it, then we need to be there to say, "Oh boy, I have something you need to see. You won't be alone though."
