So many breadtubers fell off hard, but I struggle to think of any who have fallen off as hard as Contrapoints:

  • Both sidesing the Palestinian genocide
  • Buddying up with Hillary
  • Anti-veganism
  • Being racist about tofu
  • Weird ultraleftism about a DSA event in a church

And that's just off the top of my head.

Shit. Hard to believe i watched a moron like this. Well many had their lib years I guess.

acting like 90% of food doesnt use seasoning of some kind, lmao

Boil all Breadtubers (except for skullboi)

It's common to mistake intelligence for the capacity to be re-educated but do not be fooled comrades.

The intelligent liberal is simply capable of weaving a more effective shield of deception around the black hole they call an ideology.

Self own: admitting publically you've never been invited to a home cooked meal by a Chinese person before.

Thinking tofu has no texture just shows you've only had the silken tofu white supermarkets sell. Thinking it has no taste means it was cooked CIA style (the 2nd worst CIA, the Culinary Institute of America).

flashbacks to the chris and steph video about mapo doufu where the CIA version is just bland tofu corners with soggy overcooked veg

Is it weird that I unironically like plain tofu?

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

tofu puffs are literally just deep fried tofu and I love them on their own
the process makes them even more absorbent when it comes to taking on flavour, especially in a soup (laksa being my reference)
they're absolutely fucking goated

I've never tried tofu puffs. I'll have to give that a go.

[–] jimmyjohnsandwich9@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't think its weird. When I am cooking myself something with tofu I end up eating like a third of the block before I even start to season it lmao

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

vegan-tofu unbothered, unseasoned, in my juice and flourishing

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

Especially silken tofu 😋

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Hell yeh me too I'll eat it straight from the container

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nah, often when I'm chopping up tofu I'll eat a piece or two before cooking the rest

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I want Natalie to eat boiled beef and then look her audience in the eyes and lie to their faces by saying that has any flavor.

You know what tastes so great about steak? The fucking salted butter and spices you cooked it in! Fun fact: You can cook pretty much anything in salted fat and spices and it'll come out just fine.

Damn now I want some curry...

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you boil something in water you are extracting the flavor into a stock. Stocks are commonly used for their flavor in cooking around the world. In France just like in China.

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's fair. Maybe air fried beef then?

[–] mbfalzar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

When I was in Japan, getting the yakiniku beef and air frying it as it was (no additional seasonings, just whatever preservative was used) then eating it with white rice was my cheap, tasty lunch

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

I don't have an air fryer or a steak but I've seen some people claim that air frying a frozen steak is actually the best way of preparing it.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

Bit idea: force-feeding stinky tofu to people who think tofu is flavorless.

Unrepentant crackerism tofu-cool

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Damn, and I have to tell myself to stop eating so much tofu and diversify my protien sources. Tofu is fucking delicious.

[–] Sneakytrickyyy@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

To the contrary, there was never a "falling off" moment, they've always been meek liberals, their videos didn't have any meat, any substance to them, they just seemed radical to many because YT was pushing people like charlie-kirk shapiro-gavel and peterson-pill-dinner for the first time, if you go back to some of the videos from the "golden era" your jaw will drop at how... pointless they are, it's just continuous meandering, and I don't think they really even helped in the "deradicalisation" of normies, they just turned some hogs into liberals, yippie how great is that shrug-outta-hecks

[–] larrikin99@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was always trying to point out at the time that her videos lacked any depth, she barely investigated any idea or challenged her own ideas with counter examples. it was just a handful of quotes cited to some important people, as if you could begin to understand the work of those authors from those quotes alone, and you were left with an 3 hour video which doesn't even have 25% of the content you'd be presented in a college level lecture, for which a single topic of study would contain 30 such lectures a semester.

I was always shouted down with "le pipeline" and "that's too hard, you want everything to be unfun and serious all the time. you're gonna tell me to read theory next? I'm actually in these streets, doing direct action and mutual aid, making a real difference I can't tell you about because opsec" and also "it's good for us to having someone making introductory[sic] videos with high production values" which was baffling, She wasn't like Captain Disillusion or Chris Young, since clearly the money wasn't being used to give the content more clarity or scope.

[–] Sneakytrickyyy@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you're familiar with Yugopnik (yeah ik another YT mf, sorry) his leftist funnel theory has these "tumour growths" that represent people on "the pipeline" whose only goal is to suck up potential baby leftists and retain them as an audiance, thus preventing them from going further downwards, it was referenced and basically confirmed that she was one of those unnamed tumours mentioned in the vid, lol

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

Under Capitalism, it's a major contradiction for content creators that they have to choose between making content that is useful vs. Stuff that gets eyeballs. But then these people all have Patreons so they shouldn't care about making an "unpopular" if it's what their Pateron supporters want. Seems like the same problem all creative face where having a roof over their heads beats being "authentic" and homeless.

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I keep hearing people say breadtubers fell off, but apart from Natalie and Philosophytube is it really true?
edit: I guess some more news too, but Katy has always been a massive lib and they're good friends with robert evans who's a massive fed, so the only surprise is that I thought it would be anything else. So no way of saying if they fell off or always sucked

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

I guess it depends on if one thought breadtubers were going to lead a vanguard party or not.

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Nothing bad, just kind of fell into the rabbithole of focusing a bunch on costumes and set design instead of making videos of substance. The Chernobyl video was kind of eh, but that's nothing too bad.

[–] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't remember if I've seen that video and I haven't really watched her videos in years but I always got the feeling she had very little interest in being a communist revolutionary and was just a theatre kid who liked philosophy and had left-leaning views. I was worried when you put her in the same sentence as contrapoints

[–] Sneakytrickyyy@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

I only really recall her putting her acting career before her activism, making a statement about a genocide is not as important as playing a Glub Shitto in a Star Wars Show, I've heard people say she's donated to Palestinian aid orgs, hey more than I've ever done, but paradoxically she also went on to talk about the "rising anti-semitism" as well, like read the room goddamn, never watched her, never will, too late to parade around in costumes, that "essay art form" should have died 10 years ago

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nothing bad
