The creator has shown an acute distinction for Critical thinking prowess in films such as Shrek , American Psycho , and Glitter. He interpolates close reasoning in his explanations of cultural phenomenology as he breaks down the work that is being assessed. His analysis of philosophical ideas and concepts found throughout recent culture are often associated with Hegel, Marxist, and Derridan.
The utilization of different critical theories in his content has shown to give ample explanations of the cultural notions being investigated and analyzed.
By analyzing the Incel through the Hegelian lens, the narrator gives light to concepts that were unseen or not referenced due to the inundation of Jordan B. Peterson's concepts.
