Council of Geeks, on YouTube
Facebook; IMDb; Patreon; Wikitubia

This YouTube channel started in 2012, but I didn't discover it until 2022 (the first video I saw was one from 2020, A Celebration of Positive Masculinity in Entertainment). So I've been watching some of the videos, which began with skits featuring three geeky characters, one of whom later started doing reviews of movies and TV shows and stuff like that. And before long, the skits stopped and the channel was all just reviews. (And later still, there would be some social justice types of videos.) The channel is perhaps best known for its videos about Doctor Who, but there are videos on all sorts of cool, geeky topics. Some of them are about animated films, in a segment called "Animation Junkie". I don't always agree with absolutely everything the host has to say about the things they're reviewing, but I always appreciate their perspective. And I do agree with their opinions mostly, I guess.

In January of 2018, the host came out on the channel as genderfluid, and acknowledged having another YouTube channel where they're called Vera Wylde, and present as more feminine. And in September 2020 they began using she/they pronouns, and presenting as Vera on Council of Geeks, as well. And they started doing fairly regular videos about LGBTQ+ representation in media, in addition to the more frequent videos about various geeky topics.

In 2019, they launched another channel, Break Room of Geeks, which I started watching watching in September 2024. I expected I'd watch less of that than the main channel, but eventually I think it became more common for me to watch Break Room of Geeks than Council of Geeks. Both channels are important to me, though. And my appreciation or enjoyment of the channels can range from disinterest to fairly loved, and everything in between.
