The first "Alt-Right Playbook" episode was released in October 2017. Since then the series has focused on examining and dismantling the online culture of the alt-right[5] and "the rhetorical strategies [it] uses to legitimize itself and gain power."[2][6] It uses drawings of simple figures on a grey background to illustrate its ideas.[3]
Danskin has also discussed the Gamergate harassment campaign and the techniques used by Gamergate members to recruit people into their movement.[2]
Daniel Schindel of Polygon listed Danskin's video "Lady Eboshi is Wrong" as one of the best video essays of 2018.[7][8] Julie Muncy of Gizmodo lauded Danskin's video series about the 2015 post-apocalyptic action movie Mad Max: Fury Road.[9] His video on Phil Fish covered the celebrity status of game developers and was the reason for Markus "Notch" Persson, creator of Minecraft, to sell the game to Microsoft.[10][11]
