I hold in my heart a deep love and fascination with outsiders. Our losers, freaks, and perverts bare a kind of human honesty often locked away in those remotely capable of fitting in. That honesty is why they're outsiders, it's uncomfortable, frightening to be confronted with aberrant lifestyles, desires, passions, ideology that you've never conceived of, or even worse, find yourself swallowing down in accordance with social convention. Of course, hardly anyone you could call an outsider would intellectualize themselves this way, their lives are simply their lives--I think having and recognizing affinity with that fact is a key to preventing fascination from cascading into voyeurism. Subconsciously engaging in voyeurism is easier than ever though, when it plays right into the hands of one of the dominant platforms for mass communication in the modern age; a website that once held the tagline "Broadcast Yourself". 2013 isn't what I consider an "early" stage in YouTube's history, but the site's time-proven conventions and platform-enforced limitations were still incipient--few had mastered the "thumbnail face". Still, more than a decade on, it's nearly unthinkable to consider that This Exists (a channel launched by aux, now maintained by its host, music journalist Sam Sutherland) saw any success providing weekly(!) peeks under the curtains of a diverse range of subcultures and their artifacts, ranging from unlicensed NES sex games, to noise musicians bulldozing their venues, to eBay exhibitionism (also known as "reflectoporn")--all subjects that would send a PepsiCo executive into cardiac arrest--without any obfuscation, coded language, or self-censorship. What on the surface forebode insincere cultural tourism, like the legions of reactionary channels of its era (the economic peak phase of brony hate), was in reality an open minded exploration into anything and everything, even the ugly and reprehensible, that brought joy and community to tiny handfuls of misfits. For me, an isolated, media-obsessed teen with authority issues I was too sensitive to act on, it was a crash course on what it meant to be truly countercultural, on what made art dangerous. I was an instant acolyte. Even today I try my best to carry This Exists's ethos into all of my endeavors.  This video in particular, " Malt Liquor, Mukbang, and Me", represents the channel's synecdoche. It's a cautious celebration of how loneliness in the digital age compelled a couple dozen isolated weirdos to pound 40s in their garages or eat taco bell in graveyards for one another's amusement, and how, whether or not we want to admit it, there's a part of those porcine republican American men in ski masks and camo jackets in all of us.
