oh cool, a new lindsay ellis video! and it's about transphobia in pop culture, a relevant topic!
You're Quinner
oh, it's an unlabeled collab with contrapoints
You're Quinner
oh, the comments are fawning over their beautiful friendship
You're Quinner
guess i'm skipping that one
You're Quinner
unfortunately the fact that contrapoints still exists has been re-inserted into my mind

Contrapoints only appears in the first couple minutes and I think she does a voiceover read of a passage in the back half? Sounds like her anyway
You're Quinner
blrgh
You're Quinner
don't want to see her face or hear her voice
Niamh Vibes
I was afraid of that
Princess Emily
uggggggh

Honestly I wish for everyone's sake that contrapoints could find something else to do with her life
You're Quinner
I want her to find a hole to move into where she doesn't have any wifi and never leave it again
big woop
like I'm tired of her bad takes but her worst takes seem to come from a place "of being on youtube in the way she has been for years is directly harmful to her."
You're Quinner
it's also directly harmful to me
big woop
Yeah

Shit, I only just looked up exactly what Contrapoints did. I always kind of just ignored her after hearing she has nuclear bad takes and didn't actually look into it.
You're Quinner
she made me personally feel like shit for two weeks with a video about "do nonbinary people exist" that ended with "I dunno, probably not, this is stupid"
You're Quinner
where of the two nonbinary Socratic Dialogue Standins in the video, one was an unbelievably acidic stereotype and the other realized after two sentences of arguing that she isn't nonbinary she's just a lesbian
pastel ranma
wtf I didn't even see that part of it. I mainly saw the Buck Angel stuff (and everything he has said)
lily!
Contrapoints has turned her entire brand into being the agreeable centrist trans person most cis people want trans and nonbinary want trans people to be.
You're Quinner
and also she doesn't believe that non-passing trans people count as trans
lily!
yep
EsperBot
Yeah understandable, I was actually planning on doing a heads-up post about her presence when the video went live but I thought that wouldn’t be until tomorrow
You're Quinner
so remember, never watch a contrapoints video for any reason
pastel ranma
Well I'm glad I haven't watched her stuff really holy shit.
big woop
Yeah the ting about the Buck Angel stuff is it pissed people off but no one was actually surprised she'd platform him, they're pretty much on the same page
You're Quinner
I don't know who buck angel is but I'm perfectly happy not knowing about this particular drama so don't tell me
Echo
Ugh, that sucks.
RobotApocalypse
buck angel's a porn star who was, for a long time, the only famous trans man anybody could name.
RobotApocalypse
and that's all i'll say about him.
You're Quinner
I just said-- okay
RobotApocalypse
sorry, i thought you meant you didn't want to hear about the drama rather than no info at all
