      Personally I’m much more likely to engage with and be disappointed with Contra because I was actually a fan of hers, which cannot be said of Vaush. Contrapoints used to hold a special and high place in online left queer spaces that Vaush obviously never held.

        There have been a number of posts about her in the last couple of weeks, but that is mostly connected to her machine-gunning out dogshit, western chauvinist, anti-“left” takes over the last couple weeks. Also, I think the reaction ContraPoints is largely amplified due to a non-negligible part of the community having been a fan of hers in the past when she still pretended to be on the left and are thus disappointed. Vaush hasn’t really been relevant ever since he showed his porn folder on stream.

          Yeah, if Kurzgesagt were constantly griping on Twitter about people like Hasan then I think we’d see them posted a lot more. BadEmpanada’s takedown of Kurzgesagt’s climate denialism was hugely popular on this site.

            AI is really good at this.

            Comrades, do not let that Vaushite revisionist vaush the masses again! His Vaushism is the classic right-opportunist line that must be smashed with the iron fist of Mao Zedong Thought! Criticize Vaushism! Repudiate the Vaushite running dogs! Bombard the Vaush headquarters in the Twitch chat!”Down with Vaushism! Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism without Vaush deviation! Study Chairman Mao! Smash the Vaush line! The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the comments continues!

        Totally forgot about that guy. Gone away like Jordan Peterson and his ilk. Used to see him trending on Old Twitter and get ready for a solid half hour of belly laughs.

        Speaking as a newer person. This has been something I’ve side eyed Hexbear a little for this. I’ve seen more stuff calling out Contra then a lot of others in Slop. It really kind of stinks of “marginalized person we are allowed to dunk on”.

        I’m not saying its on purpose. But…any time a leftist space spends more time then others when they are marginalized is always suspicious. It happens a lot to.

      Yea cis people telling dysphoric trans people they’re self hating and just shitting on them for it disgust me. I’ve been called misogynistic for feeling dysphoric about my voice. FUCK cis people.

    • 'I’m not sure if i am comfortable dissecting this here, in a space where the cissies are listening…

      Fear not, we purge the cis except for real comrades.

      To that end, this all highlights for me the difference between being a fellow queer, and being part of the queer community. These “content creators” visible-disgust all too often aren’t a part of the community. And, their shitty take do better in the algorithm, so we end up having these clowns seen as representatives. Suffice it to say, transitioning in any way doesn’t make someone the expert representative, just as I’m not the queen of Transylvania for Debbie at the supermarket to ask me invasive questions. We need to check these fools.
