i think contra's plan to 'break up' with her audience is a good one. it'll be easier for her to sort through the screaming noise for the good criticism like people here want if she's not also using her fan base as an emotional crutch.

yeah, she's taking the optimistic approach of taking those actions as the group trying to clean up their act
as one of the pessimists, i agree it's more likely they're just trying to not be as blatant so they can skate by with more. that said: i find it hard to fault contra for wanting to be optimistic about other human beings not being terrible. that's a lesson only experience really seems to grind in, imo

No one is calling her a far right sleeper agent, Christ.

Not in this thread, at least, I can't speak for Twitter idiots.

i'm not sure the utility of critiquing her response without taking into context twitter being the primary point of contact

This is like the one good post made about Hbomberman in the last two pages.

Can we talk about something else now.

e: Bleugh, I'm watching a livestream Conta is doing now with a lefty Youtuber who has criticized her, and she (Contra) is defending Singal again, with a weird "he's a philosopher" defense.

if 'he reminds me of philosophers from my old job who have been trained not to consider human emotions or political realities and so often end up saying a lot of stupid hurtful poo poo' is a defense of a guy, i can't wait to see an attack
