        Yeah, I like have a soft spot for her because she helped show me that there was actually a left beyond voting for labour every now and again, and like she was the only trans rep young me really had, but like her politics are cringe af - abby-exasperation is way cooler imo

          contra's godawful takes on NB people / gender in general + her tendency to triple down when criticized really soured me on her content. it took all the fun out of the theater for me.

          • @HornyOnMain14•11 months ago

            Yeah, I think I could stand her if she would just admit that she was wrong for once, about any of it

        • radiofreeval [she/her]14•11 months ago

          PT makes good videos, but she is closer to contra than can be coincidental. I mean, what are the odds of two trans women making leftist (at least at one point) political video essays in an overly theatrical style with old english letters as pen names.

          • @HornyOnMain21•11 months ago

            Yeah they're friends and they used to help each other with the video production, I'm just saying that Abbie has wayyyy better politics than contra does (and her videos are better to - also she's a fellow trans person enduring the hellscape that is TERF island with me so that endears me to her)

            • radiofreeval [she/her]15•11 months ago

              They used to be freinds. They had some sort of falling out though. Although her politics are better than contra's

          • rubpoll [she/her]15•11 months ago

            In other words - PT is Contrapoints, but it's good instead of whiny liberal asslicking.

            • AcidSmiley [she/her]15•11 months ago

              Could you please correct the misgendering in your post? PT uses she/her pronouns exclusively.

            • @HornyOnMain14•11 months ago

              I was just comparing them since they're decently close friends, they're in the same niche and go for basically the same audience, and do things in the same style, it seemed like a pretty natural comparison to me

            • silent_water [she/her]9•11 months ago

              I think it's a joke - it's an absurd comparison so I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously

            If I had a nickel for every time it happened I've have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

      She went fully lib like two or three years ago and has not had even a trace of being a socialist since.

        last I heard, he relapsed into Marianne Williamson electoralism. get well soon, Chairman Daou

    • NoGodsNoMasters [they/them, she/her]5•11 months ago

      Going? I think the least lib she ever got was making two videos about capitalism being bad and then concluding it with this statement:

      You know maybe we should do something in the meantime. Uhh so I dunno, I guess vote Labour, tweet radically, try to eat more vegetables, uhh… Try not to be manipulated into waging war against other downtrodden people, and can we please not hand more power to the absolute worst dingbats our society has on offer.
