        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.

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

            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)

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

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

              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

              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.

      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.
