One of my New Year's resolutions is to watch some "catalog" Contrapoints. So far I've seen Envy and JK Rowling.
What are the essential episodes you'd recommend?

'Cringe' is a masterpiece

Yeah "Cringe" is the best one I've seen I think. Early ones (that she hasn't deleted) seem to be the most explicitly political. The last couple have been good, but very much personal works which I can admire more than love.

Didn’t realize this person wasn’t canceled I guess I just assumed

oh she got way canceled -- for retweeting buck angel or something? -- and then made a typically thoughtful video abt it, called Canceling

What did she do?? Sorry I don't follow this stuff.
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 1 January 2023 23:16 (two years ago) link
in the real world of actual stuff and proper things, she did nothing wrong
in the idiotic internet world of recriminatory competitive righteousness, she done fucked up, or something
she's a good person who engages really well with culture and aesthetics, don't sweat it

Have not been and will not be interested in the videos mind you it’s just I’m surprised she’s still popular

Wynn's video "Opulence" featured a quote from John Waters read by transsexual pornographic actor Buck Angel,[34] whose views on transgender and non-binary people have attracted criticism, including by some who see Angel's views as being transmedicalist.[33][34] She was criticized for featuring Angel

the "cancelling" video has an explanation of "transmedicalist" vs "transtrenders" (apologies if either term offends) but it seems very much like a debate which a cis person like myself has no business having an opinion about.

Lol silby if I’m starting a thread about her it’s probably proof that she’s not popular anymore.

She's in the Hillary Clinton Apple tv series, and like everything else in that overshadowed by the inrerview with the old French guy about being a female clown.

the run of videos she did from around 2017 - 2020 were huge for me. i was a borderline stan and even bought the Tabby the far-left Anifa transgender catgirl t-shirt. i'm not really sure why but i haven't watched the last few. perhaps they became too well produced or just got too US centric for me, but i started and then never finished watching a handful, and then just stopped. i see there aren't actually too many since i stopped so i do aim to get up to date eventually.

When they got to be the length of Marvel movies I tapped out. At this point I feel like someone should get course credit for making it all the way to the end.

yeah, that is apparently a thing YouTube encourages in its creators, everyone's videos are hours and hours these days
