Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Turns out he's not as pretentious as we first thought. Though, it's still annoying how he mispronounces certain names, especially Concavenator with the invisible "qu' sound.

I don't get what this whole 'Trey the Explainer is pretentious' thing. I've only recently started looking at his stuff, but what's he done that's so bad?

I like his stuff (and am subscribed to him), but he definitely has a bit of an over-inflated ego. Look at how defensive he gets about the mistakes he made, even in the video where he's trying to address them.

It has been mostly a stigma that has brought since the beginning of his videos related to the way he had answered or react to people and their reactions to their points, it would not seem strange to me that he was confronted in a hostile manner because some inaccurate point and responded in a way that seemed pretentious to them, which was extrapolated to people with certain opinions or specific behaviors towards certain topics in a bad way, also of not having tried to correct those points in the videos in the moment, like the half-sail Dimetrodon in 2015, just 2 years late he answer it.

In all fairness youtube commenters can be ****s. Not knowing the actual instances, I don't find it too farfetched he had to deal with a bunch of shitty replies only to 'snap'[1] at the final one, even if it was okay-ish. There's always at least two sides of a story.

At any rate, I don't know Trey or have watched many of his videos, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. :V
[1] I lump "getting defensive etc" in here.

I'll be honest, I'm not all that familiar with Trey the Explainer. I've heard of him and seen maybe one or two videos but overall I know little about the guy. Still, I find it strange he seems to be getting so much hate. From what I hear, he gets things wrong from time to time, and this thread did start with an issue of him being wrong about T-rex integument. But what is the big deal about that? I myself sometimes get excessively annoyed by people saying things about palaeontology or biology that are clearly wrong, but I don't think getting stuff wrong makes someone scum of the Earth or anything like that. Is this all just a case of people overreacting to someone making mistakes in their palaeontology videos?

Like I expressed earlier, I feel the Trey hate is built on bias and blowing everything way out of proportion.
