Maia's first video was "Women in Blade Runner 2049", where she chronicled the treatment of women in the Blade Runner movies. The comments on the video were disabled due to constant name calling, harassment, and threats.[2] Not letting this deter her, she kept making video essays that criticized Hollywood and the media's treatment of female characters, such as Game of Thrones' Daenerys,[3] double standards between male and female writers and film directors like John Hughes.[4][5] Her criticism also extends to racism, especially when liberals attempt to sugarcoat it.[6][7]
She critiques media from the 80s and 90s and how they talk to, and tries to connect to their audience.[8][9]
She also makes videos on the fashion industry.[10]
