I don't know who contrapoints is and I dont particularly care, but the words and accusations being discussed are worrisome -> antisemitic, transphobic, etc. If it would be okay with you, could you state your related views (like obv as a trans person you'd be trans inclusive, etc) just to help make some followers who may be confused by the drama feel safer following you and let us know your views are separate from contrapoints regardless of your working relationship with that person?
I’m going to be honest. I find this ridiculous, but being that I’ve already gotten numerous asks about this and I’ve been deleting them because I don’t want to deal with frankly, bs, I’ll just answer this one. This question is ridiculous because 1. you could have very easily found out this information about not only contra points but about myself if you had just spent some time going through my blog and researched contra points on your own. 2, it plays further into cancel culture by having a person being forced to defend an association with a person who was deemed “cancelled” by their own marginalized community.
Regardless, I’ll entertain this question. But I will say this: you will not be able to determine your own opinion without watching Contrapoints’ video on Cancelling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjMPJVmXxV8. I’ll put the rest under read more.
Anyway, Contrapoints is a philosophical YouTuber. She is a white wlw trans woman who is heavily regarded as someone who is anti-fascist, anti-racism, and just anti-bigotry in general as most of her videos have criticized and picked apart fascist and bigoted rhetoric. She was recently cancelled on twitter for being accused of hating nonbinary people, being an anti-semite, and a truscum and truscum apologist for including Buck Angel (an older trans man from a generation older than our own) for literally ten seconds in her video (he read a quote and thats it). She is literally 1. not an nb hater and she even identified as nb herself and has advocated for nonbinary and genderqueer identities 2. Not an anti-semite because she has vocalized more criticism for facist/bigotted rhetoric than spread any of it herself, and if she had, she already expressed it was not her intention and was a mishap and had already apologized. 3. not a Truscum or truscum apologist. She goes over the Buck Angel situation in her Cancelling video so please look at that video for a better explanation. She has expressed that she is not truscum and does not even view her trans ness as a medical diagnosis.
So! It seems that even regardless of this information, people still hate her and still are cancelling her. Whatever, I don’t care. I prefer to just consume as much content and experiences and information about anything and everything regardless of what or who made it. Does that mean I am associated with that content, regardless if it is good or bad? No. I just have a love for learning and I do not think we should stop people from seeking information. I think it’s important to understand how the other side thinks not as a form of sympathizing with it, but to understand how to dissect any kind of rhetoric on a technical level. You will NOT grow as a person without having your ideals, your ideas, and your identity challenged.
As for myself, I’m not sure if you’ve even looked at my blog very thoroughly, be I am literally against any kinds of bigotry and fascism. In fact, my college studies are literally based in dissecting and criticizing fascist/bigoted ideas. I am literally the queer punk your parents warn you about. I’m an anarchist, I’m Mexican, I’m trans, I’m queer, anti-transmed– like I dont feel a need to justify myself in these ways because I feel that looking at my content on my blog, you might have just been able to come with this on your own. Not to like, suck my own dick, but I think my blog is relatively safe considering the only reason someone would hate me or my content and ideas is if they were bigoted or had different ideas than myself. Even if u unfollow and you don’t fit this case, that’s literally fine. I don’t care. My views are not that different than Contra’s own, and the only reason why this may be an issue is based on how online culture has butchered and overly simplified mishaps and words to fit their own narrative (i.e her characterizing truscum rhetoric and then people interpreting that video as her saying she agrees to truscum rhetoric and then calling her a piece of shit truscum transphobe). I dont have any other relationship to her other than watching her videos. Regardless, I don’t intend to offend you with my reaction to this ask. I’m just tired of playing this game.
