She was always turbo succ truscum, folks never noticed that Tabby was basically her going for a succ stereotype of actual folks who do poo poo. There's a reason why so many trans folks loving hate her.

i think people believe she has much stronger opinions on things than she really does and none of her videos have ever come off as "mocking" other trans people to me

she constantly obfuscates her own beliefs and flirts with drama. i strongly suspect this is intentional, because controversy = clout.

yeah ultimately her beliefs are "succ lib but edgy and conflicted about it," and wanting to pretend that vacillation and never giving anybody a straight answer is the same thing as intellectual depth.

She has this thing for characters to 'debate' with; Tabby is basically a straw enbie of everyone doing 'leftism' or being trans wrong to her.

nah its fine

truscum = believing you must have gender dysphoria to be trans. That is, experiencing serious discomfort with your assigned gender. Some people transition without having dysphoria, for a variety of reasons. For example, they could experience euphoria as a different gender, but no dysphoria as their original gender. Or maybe they just want to try it out. etc.

Truscum usually cast themselves as fighting to keep trans rights respectable, in opposition to like, people who wear cat ears and use weird pronouns. They describe it as an issue of people appropriating a real medical issue because of social trends. Sorta like, people who declare themselves to have a gluten allergy without really having one, for "health reasons".

Personally, I think more people questioning and loving around with gender is a good thing. Also, gender and sexuality can be hard to figure out -- putting up barriers to protect the "real transes" can hurt the people who need help the most. So i think truscum ideas are, at best, misguided.

i strongly suspect that in 20 years the truscum movement will be where anti-trans feminists are now -- a fading movement, frustrated at being left behind, increasingly aligning with right-wing causes to get purchase. but that's just my suspicion.


tabby is contrapoints' caricature of an anarchist non-binary person, who wears a cat ear headband and hisses like a cat. Tabby is usually being portrayed as wanting to "smash the system" without having any real deep philosophical Understanding™ or Dialogue™. a very lib portrayal of a leftist, basically. and a very truscum portrayal of a non-binary person.

Goddamnit, now contrapoints is bad too? I thought the videos on how capitalism sucks were good and helped me better articulate my position on how dumb things are. I've only watched a couple of her vids though.

Caveat: I am a well off but not actually rich jerk who votes for harm reduction in the general but maxed out for Bernie; and I like making fun of my succ friends who voted for Biden in the primary. Please help me I do not want to succ.

I'm pretty conservative, I really struggle with the current like idea of gender as being biologically innate and mostly binary, I grew up thinking it was a spectrum and a big rear end cultural construct you could struggle with and subvert, like every other 90s kid, and so the non binary ppl def make a lot of sense to me and idk why they're controversial when they're acting in a really obvious way for a person to act.

contrapoints uses caricatures to represent people online, her own inner monologue, comments from friends, and online posts to tell a story/make a point.

there’s a number of folks that have overall good opinions but engage in “splitter” online outrage and seem to over exaggerate a negative thing they don’t like.

The person Contra mocks most is herself by a lot, and Tabby's always come across less as a representation of leftists in general and more the voice in her head yelling "pontificating about it won't change anything, go out and smash poo poo and force people to pay attention".

Go out and smash poo poo.... hang on a sec, actually, before you smash anything, could you swing by the local library please and vote? City council's putting a new property tax increase on the ballot this year, and John Stimson is running for District 3 Clerk, and he's basically like our town's version of Bernie. Yeah, he actually joined the DSA halfway through his campaign. Ok, anyway, once you vote, then go ahead and smash poo poo and force people to pay attention.
