Slop.

Why does she keep trying to explain herself to the online far-left on the fucking bird site?

This is a girl who habitually went on 4chan early in her transition to check what the most vicious transmeds had to say about her looks every time she dropped a new video. She coined the term digital self harm specifically to describe her own behavior, she will never touch grass.

I think she's just addicted to drama tbh — I enjoyed her videos in the early days but she's always been a massive troll

Why can't she just be a lib and be done with it? Go hang out in the same corner as Bernie, John Oliver, Mark Ruffalo, AOC, play to that audience and be content over there?

Because she's not actually one of them. She has Destiny's liberalism but pretends to be on the edge of radical left because that's where her trans advocacy landed her brand initially. She is an ultra liberal. Barely distinguishable from Margaret Thatcher.

Joyce is probably her favourite character in Disco Elysium but for literally all the wrong reasons.

It is because she knows that she has dodged the argument, but she has always lived to argue, and it is mentally devastating to her to be in the wrong, no matter how fringe the opinion is. I remember how she was pre-transition, back in the edgy atheist days, and she could argue circles around the theists, and had an unending appetite for debate with them and their cohort, no matter how obscure they were, particularly young earth creationists. And she got to be correct and rhetorically dominate them because, tbf they are literally the lowest rung on the totem pole in terms of American hegemony.

However, she cannot do the same to the far left, and it has been absolutely devastating to her mentally, as far as I can tell. We are a tiny minority with fringe beliefs, but we can argue absolute circles around her and she believes she is right, is convinced she is right, but cannot prove she is right. And that makes her the Young Earth Creationist. So she can only take refuge in satire, which is the loser's defense.

Edit: Also, it not less than 1%, it is closer to like 1.5% maybe 2%.

She can be financially successful without us but she can't be authentically "leftist" without us. Her identity as a real leftist, and therefore good person, who is doing enough to save the world, relies on acceptance into this club. She can't buy her way in with patreon dollars. All she can do is argue, plead, and cajole. She could, as you said, find acceptance in the libs but she doesn't value their acceptance the way she values ours.

Kill that last bit of hope you have for her, the lines have been drawn, she chooses to be a pariah, everyone wanted desperately for her to improve and change her ways but at every given turn she decided to lash out and walk all over people.

Liberals are just as harmful as conservatives, they are the same thing more or less.

Oh and also, she just wants attention, gotta keep the money rolling in.

If you like the left and yourself so much, go be a lib and then have the fat guy from cumtown host a leftist roast of Contrapoints. Everybody will eat it up like hot cakes. A win win win if I've ever seen it.

She doesn't want fun, she wants to endlessly critique fun

its funny but she actually just fits into the canon of quirky people from [city she lives in] like some sorta [famous old guy who makes edgy movies] adjacent character, totally immersed in the drama.

Why can't she just be a lib and be done with it? Go hang out in the same corner as Bernie, John Oliver, Mark Ruffalo, AOC, play to that audience and be content over there? Dunk on the orange man, retweet Elizabeth Warren, go on the I've Had It podcast, all that liberal progressive stuff. Make one video every two years, keep raking in six figures through patreon and go to brunch with all your lib friends six days a week. Just accept that you're a lib!

Isn't that what she did? When she was on Bad Faith a while back and Brie forced her to actually describe herself, she said she was a "left-leaning liberal"
