Video in question https://www.bitchute.com/video/FNqiV8kL4cc/

I've never seen a 14 year old talking like that. Possible explanations: 1) she's a young-looking adult 2) she's a teenager with an adult scriptwriter 3) she's a deepfake/filter with a teenager's face and voice. I want to believe it's (3) because that would be the most Black Mirror thing.

The 14 year olds with popular YouTube channels are several standard deviations away from anybody you have ever met, simply because the number of teenagers striving for internet popularity dwarfs the number that anyone has met personally.

I think it is genuinely her too, and I honestly feel a bit scared... Society is so damn polarized today.

Does there exist two different demographic groups that actually are in harmony today?

Or she's just a particularly smart and argumentative kid who grew up mostly online. I've met 14 year olds like this but they weren't mostly tackling controversial subjects.

Yeah people underestimate 14 year olds pretty regularly, there's a lot of dumb kids out there but there's some very precocious ones too.

Between your link and this interview I saw yesterday with a 12 year old girl (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUSPmg3MJZQ), I am beginning to believe that all of us adults are much much much dumber than we think we are :D

What you're seeing is largely the result of the internet accelerating the amount of information a child can consume, growing up with that produces extremely unique individuals.

I would say it's #2 mixed with someone orchestrating the acts to become an alt right celebrity for fame, money and probably "red pilling". The death threats she made are part of the M.O and getting banned from YouTube is on purpose to get as much publicity and exposure as possible.

And it's working very well.

I believe it was found that her brother helped write some of the scripts for her videos.

Oh well if cousin_it has never seen a 14 year old talk like that then clearly they don't exist (hint: they do)

No she's for real, I've watched her Minecraft streams, she was on DramaAlert way back when she was called LtCorbis.

I agree. It's VERY hard to believe a 14 year old wrote and produced that content. It's too complex and engages in content that a child would have no real interest in talking about.

I want to agree with this, but the delivery is also not-14-ish. I have a 15yo child. This is in uncanny-valley in both the "what 14 yo would write this?" and "what 14 yo would want to delivery this?" quadrants.

That said, it also feels like copy-pasta from the conservative radio voices of the last 20 years (Rush Limbaugh, etc).

This is actually her, there's a video somewhere where she tried to debate Destiny.

The fact that she can lead a 20-minute interview ...

... rules out (2). Technology is not advanced enough for (3). So (1) is currently the most likely: https://www.reddit.com/r/13or30/

Though you've missed the less likely option 4), an extraordinarily gifted 13-yo girl spending too much time on the internet. Some kids are amazingly smart.

Technology is already in use for #3: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-49151042

Yeah, but the technology is not good enough for the level of authenticity here.

0.0% it's just her. It's too clever and referential to adult themes to be a kid.

Yeah, the language she's using is far and above what most 14 year old kids are capable of. I genuinely believe she's just the face of someone else who's writing and producing these videos.

You gravely underestimate 14 year olds.
