ICYMI | Hank Green Started a War With Knitters

Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay break down the drama between
Vlogbrothers star Hank Green and the online knitting community.
Earlier this month, Green posted an educational SciShow episode
about the knitting community’s contribution to physics. What the
SciShow team didn’t expect were almost 30-minute long reaction
videos and accusations of belittling and misogyny. This saga has
spurred apology TikToks, vows to knit simple socks, and a bigger
discussion about how an offline pastime became one of the most
drama-filled communities online. Get more of ICYMI with Slate Plus!
