i keep thinking of this clip it so perfectly encapsulates trying to explain any kind of internet-based job that's only existed for the past 10-20 years

Right but we all know the moment he says "I make movies" it's gonna be 'Oh wow, anything I've heard of?!' And then he's going to have to explain Space Cop.

I do motion graphics and VFX, but I always clarify it's not like Pixar animations or anything cool like that. Also RLM mentioned!

it also speaks to how people who do online work often do like... 5 different things like yeah i make comics, i run a patreon and a store, i design merch, i stream sometimes... 🙉

"Content Creator" sounds vile, but honestly, it's sometimes the most apt terminology, especially if the person in question is making multiple forms of it. My Mother was listening to me discuss someone who streams for a living and went "You could do that!" Yeah, I have been, for a decade, poorly, lol

The Red Letter Guys phrasing it like this is amusing to me because if I had to explain it to that same guy I’d sum it up as “You know Siskel and Ebert? Like that but with skits”
