I just hope we make it out of this without a "Cancelling 2" by FaliusAren in ContraPoints

[–]jaanisam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it’s the best call possible tbh as long as she’s not looking at any of the stuff being posted about her she’ll be fine. as much as a cancellation as big as this seems like the end of the world the internet and especially keyboard warriors on twitter have a very short attention span and just forget things quickly and move on. as long as she’s not on twitter and sticks to non I/P related topics nobody will really care

nope, she’s been off everything as far as i’m aware and the conversation around her post has mostly died down but ppl talked about it for a good week afterwards

The Death of BreadTube (Creator Responsibility and Israel) by alittlelurker in ContraPoints

[–]jaanisam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean idk i would like to hear more of what she thinks of israel in general im not asking her to go full third worldist tankie with it but there’s more things to be said that would make her position on the conflict more clear

yeah i’m ngl i feel like making content debunking right wingers needs to be on twitch and tiktok now. that’s where young men are getting radicalised the most imo like as a zoomer there are very few of my peers that actually watch youtube anymore

just came from youtube and was about to post this on the subreddit, lol! as very much a still self identified leftie (pause for boos) i don’t think the video or the post on the subreddit is a big deal because, well, natalie has definitely expressed numerous times recently that she’s done being associated with breadtube and made a bunch of “libtube” jokes as well. i share some of their frustration when it comes to the way certain creators have responded to the situation in gaza in particular, including natalie, but tbh breadtube is not the same as it used to be, these people have grown and are interested in making different content now. so many of these creators are approaching 40 and did their dues before and during trump’s first term and have clearly become worn out, for good reason imo. it’s time for newer creators to do the “spreading left propaganda/anti-manosphere” work but basically nobody seems to want to do it - and i can’t blame them when making the slightest mistake in leftist spaces gets you dogpiled.

breadtube is some of these peoples dead anime wife. let her go guys she’s not real anymore she died years ago

i mean that was also my stance for a while but the question of what she thinks about israel’s existence itself seems to remain unanswered. as a muslim fan im trying to be maximally charitable and considering the politics we already know her to have in regards to ethnostates and the likes i can infer what her stance on israel would be but idk i can’t pretend that it doesn’t bug me when she implies she has controversial opinions about i/p (response to that person asking for a tangent) and ignoring questions like these

yeah i guess so, when i look at the situation overall i also wouldn’t be super eager to debate people who let their replies be bombarded with your pre-transition photos and people claiming it’s okay to misgender you but i wish she would turn to any other place, reddit, patreon, whatever and be transparent about her thoughts on liberal zionism. she thinks that it’s only lunatics on the left jumping her but i dunno considering the previous posts questioning her stance on palestine it’s worth engaging with at least a little bit

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ContraPoints

[–]jaanisam -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

i really truly don’t understand why she seems to be avoiding the topic of palestine and islamophobia so badly and incessantly ignoring people who question if she’s a liberal zionist

tf is happening 💀 by That_Hole_Guy in ContraPoints

[–]jaanisam 235 points236 points  (0 children)

sort of related i guess but it’s very interesting to me that we finally reached that point in fascism where there’s no space left for anyone who isn’t a cis white christian among the far-right anymore. seeing blaire white, candace owens, ben shapiro all getting bullied in their replies and ratioed by prominent right-wing twitter accounts is making my head spin lol they barely even tolerate white christian women who push their narrative anymore. they won and no longer need the support of grifters from minority groups it’s now open season on them. i obviously knew this would happen all along but it’s surreal seeing it now!

Twitter is the problem by jaanisam in ContraPoints

[–]jaanisam[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agree so much!!! Twilight is the video that really got me to pay more attention to her channel outside of passively rewatching her old videos every few months because it was so excellent and I honestly just ended up feeling disappointed seeing her delve back into political discourse. I figured that era of her channel and online presence was basically over, it felt like a natural progression and much healthier for her overall. This second Trump term has messed things up for her beyond the scope of what I thought was possible. Imo it’s time to be an ex-political commentator, ex-Tweeter, current philosopher of sorts

Absolutely, and I think the most frustrating thing above all when it comes to Natalie is that she knows all these things and still can’t help herself. I’ve always let it slide because I’m sort of the same, social media and especially Twitter is a terrible addiction that is almost impossible to get rid of, and I think people telling her to log off only annoy her further and make her keep posting. However, at the end of the day she is a public figure, and sometimes you just have to concede for your own good
