Lindsay Ellis has decided to end her YouTube career. There were several reasons why she left Twitter, but the cancellation culture was blamed on the internet. It’s been reported that Ellis had to leave Twitter after she was “harassed to the breaking point” for a tweet she made where she stated that “Raya And The Last Dragon” was a copycat of “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”
Ellis recently said goodbye to her fans on Twitter.
YouTuber-author Lindsay Ellis became the target of a troll fest in March this year. Her fans allege that she was harassed by her tweets. She described ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ as a redux of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’.
Because her tweets categorize two different pieces of work under the same category, she was criticized.
One of her posts stated that it makes up about half of all YA fantasy novels in the last few years.
It is possible to see where if one squints, she tweeted. According to her, she suggests all Asian-inspired properties are the same, especially if they were already privy to conversations in which she was not present. While TLA is becoming more popular besides Asian-influenced fantasy fiction, it follows the same basic framework.
This could have been a follow-up to a tweet that she had earlier posted. Some thought showed a lack of “research.”
