Jonathan McIntosh is an American producer, writer, artist, and cultural critic. He is the creator of the Pop Culture Detective Agency video series examining intersections of politics, masculinity, and entertainment. He was also a producer and co-writer on the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games YouTube video series. Video Remix work McIntosh produced video mashups early in his film career. A proponent of remix culture, he spoke on the topic and how media produced in this fashion can be uniquely powerful tools for commenting on political and social issues. American academic and political activist Lawrence Lessig cites McIntosh's work as among his favorites in the book Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy for its ability to deliver "a message more powerfully than any original alone could." Buffy versus Edward In 2012, McIntosh spoke before the United States Copyright Office to advocate for exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act—a law designed to criminalize the unauthorized production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services regarding copyrighted works—that was adversely affecting video artists like himself. His 2009 video, Buffy versus Edward: Twilight Remixed—a high-profile mashup video and Webby Award nominee for remixing—was used as an example in the copyright discussion. The final rulemaking stated an exemption for: "Motion pictures (including television shows and videos), as defined in 17 U.S.C. 101, where circumvention is undertaken solely in order to make use of short portions of the motion pictures for the purpose of criticism or comment in limited instances." It specifically points out Buffy versus Edward: Twilight Remixed in the rulemaking: Based on the video evidence presented, the Register is able to conclude that diminished quality likely would impair the criticism and comment contained in noncommercial videos. For example, the Register is able to perceive that Buffy vs Edward and other noncommercial videos would suffer significantly because of blurring and the loss of detail in characters’ expression and sense of depth. Tropes vs. Women in Video Games From 2013-2015, McIntosh worked on the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games YouTube video series as a producer and co-writer. The web series was a highly successful Kickstarter created by Anita Sarkeesian that examined gender tropes in video games. Pop Culture Detective Agency In 2016 McIntosh launched the Pop Culture Detective Agency, a Patreon-funded web series examining the intersections of politics, masculinity, and entertainment. The long-form video essays examine a variety of topics
