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.
