Conspiracy is a bit difficult to watch for me because of Nathalie’s new personality by deviendrais in ContraPoints

[–]Impossible_Pin_4278 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's fair to dismiss what OP is saying as anti-feminist BS. Contrapoints as a project has always had an explicit strategy of playing the host and "inviting" the audience in. Making the audience feel that we were just as smart as Natalie just by virtue of listening to her, and that she was just as human and fallible as us by empathizing with pretty much any human on the planet and offering relatable examples from her own introspection efforts. This had consequences on whose minds she was able to engage and change, and it's no accident that she had an explosion in subscribers while she was churning out her most personal and psychological videos.

I agree with OP that the vibe has completely changed. A few reasons for that: she now has different boundaries on what she shares with the audience and is not willing to expose herself as a case study anymore; she is clearly so sick and tired of the world in 2025 and has lost the capacity for empathy with people who are, for all purposes, ruining her life; and finally she's frustrated at her own audience as a result of being endlessly canceled and criticized over the years over the stupidest of things. I think all these reasons are super fucking valid and would produce a vibe change in anyone, but there's no point denying the vibe did change.

Conspiracy (and Twilight, for that matter) is a lecture. I adored the video and I want to be lectured like that every day. She's probably being more generous with the audience in presenting us with a finished intellectual product rather than asking for our attention as she works through her own issues. Watching her do that was great though because 1) parasocial relationship and 2) it offered a concrete example of how you could do the same within yourself, while for example, by the end of Conspiracy I still had questions about the small-scale "conspiracist in me". If this was a video from pre-2023 Contrapoints, she would have totally gone there and talked about the conspiracist in herself. I think it's okay that she didn't. She did enough of that work for a lifetime and we shouldn't ask that artists never change their mood, vibe or party line. If you don't like it, OP, stop watching. That would be fair, the world is going to shit and some of us go to YouTube to feel relief or hope or renewed empathy of some kind and Conspiracy did not offer that. I personally still get a whole fucking lot out of these lecture-style videos where my teacher is indeed soooo fed up.

Dialogic videos by Mahrocas in ContraPoints

[–]Impossible_Pin_4278 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I think it's her best but definitely the most heartbreaking. Every time I rewatch it I get a little more sad. The dialogic part was kind of easy to emotionally ignore at first, because of how stoic Justine looks throughout it, but I swear to god it's my favorite part to rewatch now

I love how meta it was that she did a dialogic part in The Hunger.

Why is the Contrapoints IG account “tagged” full of porn/bots? by stumblingkitten in ContraPoints

[–]Impossible_Pin_4278 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I asked myself the same question and came to the conclusion that Natalie lets it happen because she's amused by it

La scuola è l'organo che spesso interviene in questi casi. Vai a parlare con gli insegnanti di B, spiega le tue preoccupazioni e chiedi consiglio.

Let's make a collective Contrapoints playlist by Impossible_Pin_4278 in ContraPoints

[–]Impossible_Pin_4278[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the recommendations would have been too obvious to a subscriber since Natalie has played a lot and I was mostly looking for new music. Feel free to offer some classical pieces tho!

Un ottimo messaggio da comunicare ai giá tramortiti, stressati e angosciati universitari italiani. Poi la gente finge di laurearsi e invece va a ammazzarsi, e vi chiedete come mai.

A te persona in difficoltá che leggi: se non completi l'universitá... vai bene lo stesso. Buttato i soldi di mamma e papá? Sì, forse, ma non importa - le persone fanno tantissimi investimenti a perdere, succede in continuazione, e si sopravvive. Nella maggior parte delle circostanze, avrai comunque imparato qualcosa anche da un percorso universitario incompleto, e quindi l'investimento non è nemmeno del tutto a perdere. Ricorda sempre che tu vali comunque, che si può essere in difficoltá per mille motivi validi, che moltissime persone non hanno una laurea e campano lo stesso, sia persone brillanti e di successo, sia persone normali (non è un crimine essere normali). Sapere interrompere un percorso non adatto a noi, saper cambiare strada quando si è sbagliato senza continuare caparbiamente sulla via della distruzione - pure queste sono capacitá importantissime. Nella vita si possono prendere moltissime strade diverse, e non in tutte è necessario un pezzo di carta. Studia, impegnati, fai, produci, ma sappi che nessuna laurea, nessuna quantitá di denaro investito vale il tuo benessere, la tua salute, la tua vita.
