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 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.
Good Girl Energy
My eternal Contra take. (In short)
@Draekos yeah I. Don't call her out really bc I know she has been helpful for some people but holy shit she leaves a lot of collateral damage in her wake
My eternal Contra take. (In short)
@AzureHusky @Draekos i think this is the approach we should all be taking wrt her. Don’t chase her off the internet or try to destroy her channel or whatever... recognizing some of the good in what she does, and the inherent risks/challenges of her visibility, but also... don’t let her bullshit go uncriticized, either, from our end.
re: My eternal Contra take. (In short)
@coda @AzureHusky criticizing her bullshit becomes something to give a backhanded apology for from her next video. But yeah, I'm just hoping eggs don't run across it, and take her as talking to them instead.
re: My eternal Contra take. (In short)
@Draekos @coda yeah I've basically taken to doing educational tweet threads that are indirectly subtweeting her shitty takes but aren't about cancelling her, just providing alternate things for vulnerable people to read
