For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

this is like 4th contra thread in like 2 weeks? i get a sneaking suspicion the basic centrist influencer wouldn't be getting flamed so much if did not also happen to be transfeminine
This is a stretch. I think it's more about how many of us were fans of hers
(not me though y'all be easy, I missed the breadtube era by a few years)
I only liked the good Breadtubers
Just waiting for the shaunvids/Hbomberguy accusations to drop
Shaun is good for now, hbomb is criticized for basically not saying shit about Palestine for all these years, which honestly? Warranted
Shaun immediately did a Palestine ep in 2023 that I thought was superb for what it was. It also was my first exposure to Omelas.
He also said he's pro a "humanitarian intervention" in the DPRK. Granted that was a while ago and I think he walked back on it, but still...
Hbomb's also living in LA now
Itβs true, Bob Dole ran into him at Erewhon last week.
true, her politics were always rather dogshit and she got high on her own supply with the 'deradicalizing the left' narrative, and her liberal zionist views on gaza are vile, but you don't need to look far for folks from the dirtbag left/breadtube era who's views have aged poorly, yet i only see her flamed.
I don't know how many of them are as loud as her on Twitter, though.
No one is stopping you from making threads about those other figures.
how many of those guys have a stable of former fans here?
It might have a lot to do with the fact that many of us are former fans.
And she may or may not have cracked some of our eggs
this is fair, but don't need to look far for many former breadtubers who are now shills, grifters, what have you, and i don't see their stupid bullshit being dunked on the regular.
A lot of the other hacks have learned the art of not posting too much and keeping their heads down. Contra hasn't confronted her crippling posting addiction.
While I get where you're coming from, how many of them have literally had a hangout with Hillary Clinton, or equivalent, on stream? Legit question, I don't watch streamers and was never particularly into contrapoints.
Shes just doing the podcast rounds for some reason so thereβs more to say about her than usual.
truly bottom of the barrel slop
Sometimes you are craving Filet Mignon. Other times I need a doritos locos taco to hit the spot
ππππππππ
Congratulations you've landed on what my extremely libbed up sous chef says about her to defend why they are still a fan
2016 was a decade ago, we don't have to keep doing this

Counterpoint: Icarus got much more flame in a similar motif (rose to glory, flew to close to the sun, fell from grace) and was a cishet man
??? Mythological figure in lieu of a real person in current era? not really following the point that you're making comrade.
I was making a joke about the word flame and how Icarus burst into flame.
ah gotcha gotcha
Back in the day, the site was full of Vaushposting, and people would complain about how much Vaushposting there was (which added more Vaushposting) and then people would accuse those people were defending Vaush (which would add more Vaushposting), and there was so much pointless discourse about this professional troll that everyone hated that eventually we came up with a copypasta response that led to the
emoji, used in place of his name because it became sort of taboo, as a backlash.
Contra is pretty thoroughly discredited and disliked around here so we could probably stand to just ignore her more, but I don't think it's just her specifically. Contraposting just hasn't gotten quite as out of control so it hasn't been reined in.
When they're a genocide denier they will get flamed, trans or not
