hexbear's obsession with ContraPoints for a while because i see over and over again how reliably contra threads blow up in ways that threads about men with comparable or worse takes (say, V*ush or Kurzgesagt) don't.

TBF:

1 Vaush is like 1/10 as popular as contra.

2 People get pissed if you post ANYTHING about Vaush.

3 As much as he sucks, his position on Palestine has actually been pretty consistent and good. It's the one thing he seems to have actual principles on.

Also this is the first post I've seen about contra on here in weeks.

There have been a number of posts about her in the last couple of weeks, but that is mostly connected to her machine-gunning out dogshit, western chauvinist, anti-"left" takes over the last couple weeks. Also, I think the reaction ContraPoints is largely amplified due to a non-negligible part of the community having been a fan of hers in the past when she still pretended to be on the left and are thus disappointed. Vaush hasn't really been relevant ever since he showed his porn folder on stream.

Yeah, if Kurzgesagt were constantly griping on Twitter about people like Hasan then I think we'd see them posted a lot more. BadEmpanada's takedown of Kurzgesagt's climate denialism was hugely popular on this site.

Vaush is like 1/10 as popular as contra.

Contra has 1,9m subscribers on yourtube, V*ush has 500k, so it's about 1/4. Meanwhile, Kurzgesagt is sitting at 25 million subscribers, so his channel is literally more than 10 times as big as Contra's.

Also this is the first post I've seen about contra on here in weeks.

I've found four other threads about her in the last two weeks alone and that's not including ones where her name in the title is spelled in more Maoist ways than KKKontrapoints.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

I wish Vaush's name was more Maoist Standard English-able.

VauSSh? Doesn't really work.

KKKontrapoints

This is gold. I thought AmeriKKKa was great but I'll remember this one.

Totally forgot about that guy. Gone away like Jordan Peterson and his ilk. Used to see him trending on Old Twitter and get ready for a solid half hour of belly laughs.

Speaking as a newer person. This has been something I've side eyed Hexbear a little for this. I've seen more stuff calling out Contra then a lot of others in Slop. It really kind of stinks of "marginalized person we are allowed to dunk on".

I'm not saying its on purpose. But...any time a leftist space spends more time then others when they are marginalized is always suspicious. It happens a lot to.
