My eternal Contra take. (In short)
She's a piece of shit gatekeeper, doing some really hard, stressful and very needed work for people who do need it.
There isn't a cultural alternative to toxic masculinity and until there is we need this shitty bandage to help stop some of the bleeding.
My eternal Contra take.
Yes I watch every video she makes. Still. I try to like them. I try.
Bluntly, she's advertising to the kind of boys that would have included me if I'd not transitioned. I hate that but it's something to keep in mind.
That being said, she doesn't care about the damager her statements cause outside of that, and her persona demands she not or else she'd loose cred with the target she's got.
My family is stronger than ever in spite of our abuse because we came together and empowered each other.
I *survived* the Seattle scene.
Fuck this bullshit.
This is how vulnerable victims are treated. There were vulnerable victims before me, there are after, and I see how they're handled.
I've seen the bullying.
This is why I hated school, goddamn.
Alice and Freya, got their accounts frozen.
Oh, we're the clique here, riiiiiiiiight. Narrative control tactics are obvious ffs.
Hazel got blocked from speaking up for me and revealing receipts in a discord chat she shared.
Willow got banned from the discord embassy, in spite of saying nothing there. She was the most hurt victim in all of this. Like, what the fuck?
How many more are they going to have to keep silent as they go on, I wonder? When I back off until they try to fuck over people I know again, because apparently they can't help themselves on that front, others are going to come forward as they're hurt.
The depressing thing with plastic waste is that we had the infrastructure to re-use packaging in every way, and we demolished it. From the milk-man who took the empty bottles back to returnable beverage bottles, and people taking their own packaging to the grocer to put foodstuffs in, be it cheese, olives, beans or whatever.
Now we have to build the infrastructure and the mindset again. Before it's too late.
a quote I think about a lot is (paraphrased, in the context of business meetings)
"There are two things in this world that take absolutely no skill: spending other people's money, and squashing an idea before it has been born."
i.e. if someone is kicking around a new idea, reflexively responding with why it couldn't work or doesn't also address X issue is not an interesting or useful move
