#waiting for the terfsplosion to come fuck up my comments

I still keep seeing the Contrapoints discourse continue.

Here's some facts to make this easy:

-Contrapoints, knowing full well who Buck Angel is, had him read a thing in her video.

-Buck Angel (a trans man) outed a trans woman, putting her safety at risk. Buck Angel is Truscum (a transmedicalist), which means he believes you're not a real trans person unless you pass to cis people and have surgery (which is super classist and gross). Buck Angel thinks Non-binary isn't a valid identity and has openly said so. Buck Angel pushes terf ideas and encourages terfs to be terfy while terfing with them terfily, like an asshole. He's on good terms with Graham Linehan (who made good shows before but is transphobic af) and Buck encourages Linehan's transphobia.

-It was shitty that he was in her video at all. And I am, as well as other nb and trans folx, genuinely hurt by it.

-Trans people, of non-binary and binary identities, are rightfully hurt by this, because most of them looked up to Contrapoints and she platformed someone who blatantly speaks out against their rights to be themselves and be seen as valid people who are awesome. Buck Angel makes them feel not awesome.

-Contrapoints has 778k subscribers, and a lot of them are former incels and alt-righters. She has now platformed a transmedicalist who doesn't believe non-binary people are real and thinks you're only valid as a binary trans person if you pass to cis people. This means that she has potentially given these people, with former bad leanings, more bad information to make them more ignorant and scary to us trans/ NB folx.

-People with a 778k subscriber count who make 'educational' videos need to be held accountable so they don't misinform cis people, platform bad people and dismantle the positive changes we want to make.

-Most of us non-binary and trans folx aren't cancelling her, we just want her to acknowledge how she fucked up and change it so we can keep watching her videos. And I think most of us want to know that she's still on our side, because we like her content a lot.

-Caveat: contra isn't doing this, her ride or die stans are: Calling non-binary and non passing trans folx 'snowflakes' for feeling hurt by this is pushing the same rhetoric that the anti-trans/ anti-NB folks are pushing in the alt-right circles.

-We can't prove Contra was grifting, so we should stop using that argument.

-Contrapoints shouldn't be cancelled or harassed or doxxed or made to suffer mentally from her fuckup, but it was still a fuckup and she should talk about it honestly.

-Harassing other breadtubers/ her friends, because of her mistake, is disgusting and unjustified. Please stop that bullshit.
