You all deserve this in your heads, too.

This is super long and very NSFW at times--and I know it might not get much play here on matchcut--but it's an absolutely outstanding summation and breakdown of the whole stupid meme "debate," such as it is. This covers everything....everything....oh yeah, everything. She's hilarious, she's brilliant, and this is a damn magnum opus.

Another Contra fan! Yes. She is great. Her stuff is great. I haven't watched the video yet, think I'll have to wait for the weekend to have the time/space to process.
That was awesome

Watched it last night.
She's one of the few YouTubers I subscribe to / get notifications for.
I love her absurdist sense of humor ("Stop breaking into my house") and that her videos look similar, but never quite the same. AFAIK, she shoots every single vid in the same room, by herself, but the production values are high enough (for YouTube, anyway) that you don't notice.
She was interviewed on Chapo awhile ago, too: https://soundcloud.com/chapo-trap-ho...apoints-111818
Worth a listen if you're a fan.

Yeah, Contrapoints has been spreading within my immediate group of friends like wildfire recently. Some of her stuff, like the video on Incels, is bookmark-worthy in terms of easy access for quick sharing.
Anyone want to watch deep sea animals eat a Whale Carcass? Live?
Maybe this has been posted elsewhere.
EDIT: This is so emotional and funny and amazing. Wow!

Been really enjoying that series even though its pretty staged.
To get them all together, there's no escaping a level of staging I suppose.Quoting Skitch (view post)
Been too long since I've seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy. This christmas!

Hbomberguy puts out incredibly good critiques and defenses. He's a marvel. And he's often quite funny.

I've enjoyed him and the other Leftytubers (like Contrspoints and Shaun) immensely over tle last few years.

And he also gets major props for streaming Donkey Kong 64 for 60 hours to raise money for trans kids and ended up raising more than $300,000 when he only expected to raise a few thou on the absolute high end.

Sorry you didn't like it!
No worries.
I wasn't sure if you posted it in more of a twitter sense or more in a forum sense, if ya know what I mean. I guessed wrong and took a shot.
