    For those who want to know, the person she is subtweeting here is PhilosophyTube. There are RUMORS that they dated, but they are just that. What is confirmed is that they are no longer close or interact with each other, since before PT transitioned.

    The framing device for the tweet is an amateur short film release on YouTube a couple weeks ago called Envy/Desire which is (apparently, I’ve not watched it) about a trans woman dating a cis guy, who is either a chaser or a genuinely questioning/transitioning depending on which post I look at. Either case, the film and the creator are incredibly online and I feel way too old to keep up with that discourse now.

      Two minutes in and the audio mix is absolutely fucked, imperceptible dialog in one shot and then peaking into your eardrum in the next. The first thing you learn about filmmaking is that audio is everything. Sounds like they just decided to keep the audio from whatever came with their camera and called it a day after principal photography.

      Redscare mentioned at 4:40 lmao, yeah I’m out.

      well i’m 5 minutes into watching the film and it already needs so many different transphobia-related CWs that i don’t know if it’s full of /tttt/ brainworms or making fun of these brainworms, i think i’m just gonna stop watching this shit before it gets worse lol

        don’t know if it’s full of /tttt/ brainworms or making fun of these brainworms,

        I find this tends to be an extremely thin line. Sometimes it’s both!

      It’s a funny tweet with this context tbh. Fans and twitter in general are/is so fucking toxic, I don’t understand how anyone stays in contact with that site.

    Great to see her mastering the subtle art of the transmisogynistic callout/call to harassment. Someone should make a video about that, though I guess it doesn’t really lend itself to costuming.

      not gonna watch a video on mfing Kant, the only good thing i can say about that dumb cracker of a nerd is that at least he died before he could make a reddit account, that would’ve been insufferable

      PT >>> CP, but still a lib. Not managing some obscure details about Kant honestly smells kinda based. From what I can tell she’s usually pretty rigorous, and at the very least her newer videos make sense on their own, while including specific concepts where they make sense.

      Feel free to roast my naive stan apologia if you like

        I haven’t watched her in a while so I have no ammo for roasting. I just finished Moeller’s series on media theory, but it’s not for everyone, what with the total lack of costuming & bisexual lighting.

    Going to be honest here, Contrapoints’ inability to not be extremely messy on Twitter is probably the most likeable thing about her

    Also I listened to the Kill James Bond podcast and whoever Abby’s ex is did not come out very well in Abby’s version of the story

      It seems that breadtuber Abigail Thorn (known as PhilosophyTube) used to date Natalie Wynn (better known as ContraPoints), when Abigail was still an Egg. She cracked during their relationship and Natalie didn’t handle it well, told Abi transness is a curse and tried to talk her out of transitioning, so they broke up and now Natalie is pissed that Abigail’s channel is growing faster than hers or smth.

        Wow I mean I get not handling it well… but regardless of whether transness is a curse or not… it is what it is and honestly I wish someone told me years ago that it was as rad as it is because it’s WAY better than pretending to be a cis guy
