All right I have too many followers so here's my hot fucking take: if you don't like Contrapoints that's completely fine and your right as a human, but the performative hate every time she launches a video is stupid. And I do mean stupid, as in it doesn't make any fucking sense
There's a 1-minute clip circulating from her latest video where she cringes at a trans woman who does not pass, for not passing. Yikes If the clip went on even a minute longer though, it would become obvious that Contra presents this reaction as bad, something she's not proud of
The video is an hour and a half long and people have taken a minute out at the 40 minute mark, presented entirely without context, and offered it up as a way to performatively hate something without watching it, and it's gross
If Contra isn't your thing that's ok. Just because something isn't your thing doesn't make it an abomination before your woke God There should be space to talk about complicated, bad, and harmful gender feels. It's ok to struggle with that stuff actually, at least I sure hope so
Go ahead and smash that unfollow button, I don't care: her takes have clarified my thinking on a variety of issues, including my tense relationship with this shambling estrogen-poisoned corpse I occupy I don't like everything she's ever done, but I find much of it valuable
More than that, seeing this shit makes me profoundly nervous about putting my own work out into the world. Because I see all the people who delight in finding reasons to condemn and excoriate any created work
Sometimes it seems like we actively look for reasons to tear down any attempt at making something that isn't just mockery and rage and despair. I get the nihilism thing, I kind of live there, but it's a pact with death and no movement can survive like this so maybe stop it. Thx
She requires a more disciplined examination than a 60 second hot take but those hot takes are currency out here. I wish we could stop cancelling ourselves.
I have literally seen someone who didn't watch the video, and has only seen one clip of it, rage for threads and threads about her talking about Christine Chandler. If you had watched the video, YOU COULD NOT MISS that she was being sympathetic, and condemning Chandlers stalkers.
