Se examinan las críticas dirigidas a figuras públicas por su presunta defensa, minimización o falta de comprensión del colonialismo, así como el impacto de sus acciones y declaraciones.
- "i say so because in the past she has directly and fairly openly defended colonialism".
- "yeah, i stopped taking her seriously when she said “at least in the us” as if colonialism wasn’t an inherently racist enterprise.".
- "it's almost like she doesn't understand colonialism or something who'da thunk that in the year of our lord 2025 there would still be people who didn't understand that?".

Se discute cómo el colonialismo se manifiesta en la actualidad, incluyendo el neocolonialismo, el impacto en las comunidades indígenas y la persistencia de estructuras de poder coloniales.
- "profiting directly off the genocide and history of indigenous ppls without including their voices in your video essay at all is exactly what british colonialism looks like in 2025.".
- "colonialism is the answer and retention of influence within a formerly colony. I'm not disputing her research or its value, just my discomfort at the reach of empire into the 21st c".
- "the world is trying so hard to heal from colonialism/imperialism/capitalism (white people) . She is fighting back, we are fighting back.".

- "black americans also benefit from colonialism and imperialism against the global south, her brain has been infected by white feminism.".

Se analiza cómo el colonialismo influye en la producción y recepción de contenido, incluyendo la representación de comunidades indígenas, la investigación académica y la narrativa histórica.
- "the title of that video alone is crazy. It’s not that she can’t do research but genuinely i think the last voice i want to hear talking about indigenous genocide due to us colonialism is a well off white british person.".
- "if it were just the video about colonialism, then i would suspect it came from unexamined epistemic discomfort regarding matters of race and colonial history (which we still think is definitely a factor), but a broader issue is she avoids the wider scholarship necessary to synthesize her own thesis.".
- "rich white women who are friends and colleagues with racists making videos about settler colonialism. What could possibly go wrong?".
- "there are less than 70 comments on abigail thorn's post calling indigenous ppl "indians" but white trans ppl are calling it a transphobic dogpile. Shielding her with your white privilege is also colonialism in action and you are racist. Congrats. Get some god damn perspective.".
