It’s Brat and Coconut Summer

CREATOR NEWSLETTER


Presented by:

Hey everyone, it’s brat and coconut girl summer, and if you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, you can read about it here. Our rights are being taken away, our democracy is in shambles, but at least we have Kamala “Von Dutch” fan cams and laugh track compilations to distract us. The world’s creativity in the face of chaos and horror never ceases to amaze me.

Speaking of which, I’m particularly impressed by the ingenuity of the youths this week. Reporter Steven Asarch attended a wonderfully elaborate (and a little chaotic) production of “The Little Mermaid” in Roblox — complete with detailed set designs, concession stands, dozens of attendees dressed in their finest evening gowns, and more than a few technical difficulties.  

Reading about this was a nice escape from all the other news going on in the world, so click below to enjoy

    CREATOR NEWSLETTER Issue #169 | September 19, 2023 Yesterday, I had the unfortunate luck of setting my eyes upon a viral clip of a fan meet-and-greet gone wrong with a notoriously transphobic, YouTube-banned, self-proclaimed Red Pilled Rumble streamer known as “Sneako.” In the video, three little boys (probably around 12 years old?) dressed up as…
