Yep, and most states don’t even formally allow you to identify as a clinical psychologist i.e., it is against ethical standards to name yourself that without a doctoral degree + thousands of hours of clinical training usually through an accredited body + passing the licensing exam and fulfilling any requirements for jurisprudence testing pertinent to that state’s laws. So yeah, it’s pure BS when people claim they are “psychologists” with a bachelor’s or even master’s degrees.

You predicted it perfectly. 3 months later we get a "Why I'm leaving the left" video from her. Disappointing but not surprising. Good job calling her out months ago

Me and someone else tried explaining why it’s necessary in literature and videos considering it can be really traumatic for someone to read or watch something graphic or triggering and she pretty much replied to us saying she still didn’t think it made sense and people have to live through life without being so sensitive to things because you never know if you may experience that trigger outside in the real world.

I didn't even do core psychology as an undergraduate, just the basics of it through criminology, and I know that these theories have been debunked and are basically redundant in contemporary academic and public discourse. maybe she never went to class past her first year?

makes sense

31:30 The way she refers to cis women as "**women**" smacks of transphobia to me

The final straw for me was the time ALR expressed that she might be looking into an ADHD assessment. Personally, I'm of the opinion that ALR seems to display certain patterns of symptoms that wouldn't be out of place for an AFAB person with ADHD, and I don't really mind if ppl disagree with me because it's something none of us are ever going to know for sure. But the thing that really disgusted me was when I watched YDHB's reaction, and she completely dismissed the possibility of something like that based mainly on "she's just looking for an excuse/she's just lazy and wants an appetite suppressant/she's taken all of this off the internet and it's 100% garbage" or something along those lines. I can't remember exactly what she said because I have ADHD myself and that means I live with a goldfish brain, but I do remember being incredibly angry and upset because it was straight ableism from someone who claims to be educated and empathetic. The shit she said in that video was exactly the same logic as comments that people have made to me when I was undiagnosed and unable to function, and it showed me how truly ignorant she is. She can talk all day long about seeing a doctor and going to therapy and taking care of your anxiety and depression, but she has no qualms and no remorse about spreading misinformation and stigma around about conditions where we suffer medical stigma and bias for the nature of our medication. Sorry if this is a wall of text, but it's one of the things I just don't hear ppl discussing within the gorlverse, and it hurt a lot to hear her go from somewhat reasonable to being so discriminatory and dismissive of a condition like ADHD. People don't know how subtle ADHD can be and how drastically a diagnosis and meds can change your life, and it's so hypocritical of her to claim she wants people to be well, yet she shuts down the idea of ALR literally trying to get help, regardless of whether or not we think ALR will go through with it.

My comment is sorta ignorant but it would be also a wall of text to fully go into in all but as Amber was told she has OCPD (which she doesn’t do anything for) and Bipolar (which she also doesn’t do anything for) they have “crossover symptoms” of ADHD So yes you’re correct that she does because ADHD like you know is never just ADHD there’s always often something else. OCPD and bipolar in ambers case

I used to also really like YDHB but I simply cannot fathom HOW she is possibly a therapist/has ever been a therapist. I have a couple of friends who are licensed therapists and have been in therapy myself for a long time & I simply can’t imagine any other therapist making videos and claims like she does. Also, one of the reasons I liked her is because I am a Ukrainian woman in America and thought I could relate a little to her but the way she speaks about being an “immigrant woman” is so strange to me. My Ukrainian friends and I never talk about ourselves in this way.

Omg she rubbed me the wrong way when in a live stream she was saying "only Americans care about race/ethnicity" while simultaneously saying how she always stood out and was bullied for being an immigrant. For a lot of people being an immigrant is not the only hurdle you face when being in a new country. Racism usually plays a huge factor in that. It just came across incredibly tone deaf for someone to say both and not see how they are two sides of the same coin. A lot of people who dismiss bipoc people like myself hide behind this sneaky comment. Gee I wonder why the person who has to deal with racism keeps bringing it up 🤔 i could never really criticize from a medical stand point because thats not my field but when I heard that it just struck me incredibly hard just how biased this "unbiased" person is. I am not an immigrant but I've been through racism so I always had sympathy/empathy for those who have to experience both. So I was surprised she just used her experience to invalidate the other side. Like how do u of all people not get it babe?? She wasn't even criticizing racists in that generalization she was just saying it annoyed like why do y'all care about race so much it's weird. Yeah babe racism is weird. Also, European accents and blue eyes is literally exoticized and put on a pedestal so much I can actually see how she might've just never experienced racism from American audiences. Literally born and raised in America but people don't think my vote should count in free elections. Love the channel keep up the good work finals is around the corner I need my Mika videos 💗💗

Bun if you are trans you are doing a disservice to yourself, get a therapist and stop watching jordan peterson's vídeos.

I don’t have the time and money to find one that is best for me and most people don’t have the luxury that is a wide variety of options to pick from.

as someone who has a morbid fascination with the lolcow boards, ydhb's talking points on the trans teacher were definitely ripped from there. from the 4chan prank comment to the point about the health and safety violation were all the same. that's likely also why all the sources on that video were so right wing

Early on in her channel she used to say that if you drew fan art of her she would post them at the end of videos. I noticed time after time she wouldn’t tag or mention the creators of the art so I left a comment complementing her video while politely suggesting she tag the creators. She responded nicely but said “I do! I just forgot this time” or something to that effect. I only commented after like 5+ videos certainly did not have tags.

In regards to Sara taking other content, etc... If you look at her video upload timing, shes frequently a day or more behind the other reaction channels, and if you listen closely, you can hear not just similar points as other creators, but alot of times it is almost like she has taken 3 or 4 creators exact sentences, stitched them together and then records herself reciting the end product. Oh! And she also likes to take opinions from her comment sections too. Its super interesting. 🙄 Edit to add- she absolutely does watch and or reads things about herself. She probably will watch this and she might not address it directly, but she'll take jabs at what she doesn't like.

I used to really like ydhb’s content, but it started to feel more angry and like a way to boost herself up because she is more educated, more fit, healthier, whatever. I also felt like recently in her videos about amber, I felt like she was picking things apart to a fault. Where it invalidated her other points, because some of what she was criticizing was so out of pocket. Like just drawing extreme conclusions out of the smallest thing that amber would say. I think there is a TON to critique amber on, but her building a Lego or something doesn’t really need a critique. I also feel like she would take something and just run too far with it, like amber would say she’s feeling kind of sad that day and ydhb would say something to the effect of “this is narcissistic behaviour, and amber said wifey is SO helpful so why is she feeling down when she has this amazing girlfriend?! Clearly it’s a lie” but it’s like … dude how can you even draw that conclusion from such a small thing.

Hi Mika love your videos, especially this one. But I do have a tad bit of info for you. There is huge xenophobia against eastern Europeans in Britain. Especially with the whole brexit movement. I learned about this from Angelika Oles, who like the person in this video, is a polish immigrant in the UK. I learned that this xenophobia affected her very negatively. So while I agree with most of your arguments, I think the xenophobia she faces may be a bit more impactful than what was said in this video. As some people think poles and other eastern european are not white. So the comparison you made to the US with Mexican immigrants may actually be more similar than you think. If you look up Eastern Europeans, brexit, and racism there is a short article by the British Sociological Association that shows the xenophobia against Eastern Europeans. As a fellow Canadian this doesn't make sense as poles and brits are both white, but as we both know race is a social construct that seems to change with the wind. And how we define a race is depends on the culture (and government definitions) in which we love. Edit: spelled Angelika wrong

Thank you so much for educating me, I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t speaking on it like an authority because I felt I was not sure. I do think she is valid in her experiences and wanted to make that clear as well

@@MikasRhetoric Yes, truthfully my concerns were only a very small part of a long video, and I did enjoy the rest of the video as the main news story covered happened in a town close to both of us. Keep up with the good work! I'm glad I could educate you and that you received my comment well. I believe you have the best intentions, my only suggestion is to be a bit more discerning when it comes to other countries and looking at racism through a Canadian lense. Honestly I would know nothing about this if not for Angelika. Love you Mika! Have a good day

thank you so much for this video and the conversation. Your content about rhetoric is really cool in general! hopefully ydhb will watch this one day and considers your points. I expected more from her honestly
