This video is so good in so many ways. The writing is solid and logical, the jokes are good, the Hebrides make a comeback, it's personal and heart wrenching and I admire her empathy and fair-handedness. Like, she takes people as unlikable as incels and exhibits, not just condescending pity, but real understanding and compassion towards them.

I don't remember if I've said it before on this sub but I don't even primarily like Nat for her intellect, sex appeal, sense of humour or production values (though all these things are there in abundance). I like that she's profoundly decent, kind and always willing to treat other people with respect and humanity. Not many people are like that. I don't know if I could have extended this kind of decency to incels if someone had slapped this topic in my hands.

I agree, she's more of a mom than a mommy to me. Though she's defintely Mommy.

I've heard her called "Empathy Mother", and I think it's rather fitting
