Ian Danskin is an American YouTuber who produces the Innuendo Studios channel where he discusses politics from a left wing perspective.[2][3][4] He is primarily known for "The Alt-Right Playbook" series of videos.[2]

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 controversy 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] Julie Muncy of Gizmodo lauded Danskin's video series about the 2015 post-apocalyptic action movie Mad Max: Fury Road.[8] Danskin's short documentary This Is Phil Fish, on indie game designer Phil Fish, is about Internet celebrity.[9][10][11][12]

The channel has been described as part of "BreadTube", an informal group of left-wing YouTube channels.[2]
