Ian Danskin is an American YouTuber, whose YouTube channel Innuendo Studios discusses politics from a left-wing perspective. [2] [3] [4] He is primarily known for "The Alt-Right Playbook" series of videos. [2] The channel has been described as part of "BreadTube", an informal group of left-wing YouTube channels. [2]

Career

The first "Alt-Right Playbook" episode was released in October 2017. Since then, the series has focused on examining and dismantling the online culture of the alt-right [5] and "the rhetorical strategies [it] uses to legitimize itself and gain power." [2] [6] It uses drawings of simple figures on a grey background to illustrate its ideas. [3]

Danskin has also discussed the Gamergate harassment campaign and the techniques used by Gamergate members to recruit people into their movement. [2]

Daniel Schindel of Polygon listed Danskin's video "Lady Eboshi is Wrong" as one of the best video essays of 2018. [7] [8] Julie Muncy of Gizmodo lauded Danskin's video series about the 2015 post-apocalyptic action movie Mad Max: Fury Road . [9] His video on Phil Fish covered the celebrity status of game developers and led Markus "Notch" Persson, creator of Minecraft , to sell the game to Microsoft. [10] [11]
