I'm sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn't think of anywhere better to ask about it
the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas

I had a lot of conversations with my dad about how glorifying people is setting yourself up for failure when there were loads of protests were going on about bringing down statues of famously racist people who did like a handful of notable things i.e. most of the U.S. founding fathers.
I wouldn’t suggest keeping a list of names that you admire. Maybe keep a list of things about those names that you admire

I like Adam Savage. I watch Adam Savage. However, be careful putting anyone on a pedestal. The claims were settled out of court which doesn't mean anything either way. And I think all of us feeling like we have more familiarity with Adam himself would definitely rather side with him and his version of things. But that's just bias at this point.
Adam is most definitely a fascinating guy with a varied and interesting work experience. We can all safely say that for sure. And has overtime become a great presenter with a lot of wisdom to share. And that's probably where we should keep it. 🙂

I don't see what's edgy about that. You should include people in that list for who they are and what they do. Not because of their gender.
If you think of women who you would put on that list then suggest them. OP asked for that. Be the change you want to see.

You seem a bit troll-y too but I'll bite.

Sylvartas@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Personally, Veritasium is out of that list for me due to some of his more recent videos. He still has some good content but I really disliked that "rods from God" video where it feels like he's basically doing the same thing as the "How Ridiculous" guys and trying to disguise it as science communication. And the (admittedly few) ones where he's basically disguising advertising as his regular content.
I nominate BobbyBroccoli to take his spot.

FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io · 3 pts · 2y
Damn, really? That's disappointing to learn, why's he a dick?
Hedlosa@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 2y
Ok so not nessesarialy a dick, just a strong reaction with his name sorry.
In his video saying he has an autistic son, he did a charity event for NEXT for autism, who wish to 'cure' autism, and have worked with Autism speaks before. The actual event before changes made due to criticism had like no autistic voices present. I don't think Mark is a dick because he seems to genuinely love his son, but was just uninformed about the harm that group does.
FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io · 4 pts · 2y
I'd call that disappointing, Autism Speaks is a shitty group. Neurodivergence doesn't need to be "cured". I even thought Rober might be on the spectrum himself.

Grady Hillhouse of Practical Engineering. He provides so much insight to the constructed world around us and, more recently, has done a ton of work to digest complex reports to, as he puts it, "elevate the discussion" around manmade disasters so that the layman can have a more informed opinion.
Pannenkoek as well. He's pretty niche, making videos almost exclusively about Mario 64, but he has an incredible talent for teaching complex technical concepts in an understandable way. It's often really hard for people that freakin smart to turn around and explain their knowledge to a layman, but Pannen puts a ton of work into visuals and examples to make sense of some really comprehensive stuff.
Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe. They've always had a mission to reach queer kids and have taken inspiration from Mr. Rogers to help children love and accept themselves. Over the course of their career, they've really come out of their shell and fought for representation in cartoons, driving the whole medium forward while supporting their peers across the animation industry. They've been pretty quiet online since the end of Steven Universe, but it's because they're out there in person at LGBTQ+ youth centers teaching kids how to understand and express themselves. I didn't know what it meant to have a role model until I started following their career.

He frequently updates his YouTube channel with his day-to-day life, and the animals he has are fun (capybaras, kangaroos, rheas, etc.). He genuinely loves animals and loves his work and I've learned a lot from his channel.

Mike Duncan seems like a pretty cool dude, and the Revolutions podcast is incredibly good

Isn't PewDiePie a Nazi?
June@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 2y
Not openly or outright. Potentially not at all, but he is loved by Nazis.
Just one example of Nazis and terrible people liking him, was a terrorist who live streamed his attack on a couple mosques in NZ and during the attack he said to "subscribe to PewDiePie" amongst other things.

He's definitely posted some dog-whistle stuff when it comes to being a Nazi.
June@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 2y
That would probably explain why they love him.

I bet you don't know a single one of these people.
This is a bad idea.
