The point of the initial fake-out is that it's warm and inviting. If the video is framed as "Why You're Transphobic"—no one likes that, no one listens to that. They're dead against you from the start.

People have this expectation about what an "SJW" is like: that you're angry, always outraged, humorless, tiresome, earnest to a fault. The point of ContraPoints is to have SJW-type talking points presented by a host who's nothing like that.

If I come right out of the gate with guns blazing, shouting "YOUR SHITTY MEME GETS TRANS WOMEN KILLED"—no one listens. I'm just a hysterical wacko in the eyes of everyone who isn't already woke about this.

3: "Would you do a video with the n-word in the title?" No, I wouldn't. I'm not black.

4: "If trans women see the phrase 'Are Traps Gay?' without a warning, that could be triggering/upsetting to a lot of them." I'm not someone who disparages safe spaces. I think it's incredibly important to have spaces like that. But my channel is not designed to be a safe space.

I know a lot of people would like my channel to be a safe space for trans people. There are channels like that, and I'm very glad they exist. But because of the ContraPoints prime directive—convert normies—my channel just can't be that.

5: "This title is clickbait." Well, in a sense every good title is clickbait. That's just part of being a content creator. The bad kind of clickbait is dishonest or sensational. And I don't think this is—the title of the video is the meme the video is about.
