Question:

If Natalie were to ever do a video on Tokyo Afterschool Summoners/Housamo, do you think she’d find the fact they made “sexy” versions of J. Edgar Hoover and Harvey Milk funny? I think so.

Is Amadeus envy or jealousy

Natalie used Amadeus as an example of envy, which seems pretty accurate at first, but now that I think about it I feel like the idea of that story as a scenario of jealousy, maybe even a love triangle, is kinda overlooked

The third party is God, who is definitely one of the most important “characters” in the story (probably why the movie is noscriptd Amadeus). Because Salieri views talent and success as directly relative to God’s favor, imagining god as a person with conscious motivations and biases, it is from his point of view effectively a love triangle between himself, Mozart, and God. He’s not just unhappy about the comparison between himself and Mozart, he’s protective of God’s love, and later resentful after what he perceives as betrayal (just like when a child fears that their mother favors their sibling over them)

I guess you could argue that it doesn’t really matter because God is basically just a figment of Salieri’s imagination, copium for Salieri to justify what is otherwise pure envy, but it’s still an idea worth thinking about imo

Also maybe she did mention this and I forgor, I haven’t watched the video in a while

still thinking about you natalie, and i hope you are doing well <3 much love from bmore county.

you continue to be my tried and true favorite essayist and i personally did not see a single issue with what you tweeted out regarding the conflict at hand. i think the left's response to it is indicative of the exact issues that keep us down and on the landslide to hell, and i hope for a day that we as a online political society are able to slow down and truly process what's being said - i think it's probably an unachievable hope, but one must dream :')
best wishes, and cannot wait for you to upload someday soon.

Looking for video where Natalie talks about anti trans legislation

So. I’m arguing with my brother about trans human rights.

I’m trying to find the video where Natalie talks about the ~>400 anti trans bills proposed and one particular example where a trans person started a sports team at their high school which I believe was co-ed, and they got kicked off the team THEY founded.

My brother is a good person but woefully miseducated about LGBTQ rights and current events in general.

A few months ago I came out to him as queer and he is still very confused but very supportive. But now there are a ton of (wild but good-faith) questions I’m fielding from him.

Thanks

I feel like i funded the counter-revolution

Yeah thats the post. I just gave her a lot of money over the years and now I think about it. I was a huge contra Stan for like five freaking years but now I think ill be a casual viewing mf. I now spend 5 a month to instead get union-printed revolutionary communist newspaper delivered to my house. Its some high quality journalism yall. It gives me a lot of clarity and a lot more hope for the world. But I digress

The Issue with ContraPoints

Like many others, I have felt beyond betrayed and heartbroken by Natalie Wynn, AKA Contrapoints, after the controversial incident that occurred 5 months ago. I know that this incident has shattered our once-united community into bickering factions, and I don’t want to worsen that. And look, I promise you that I’m not just here to stir up old drama and rant about how the idol I’ve looked up to for years suddenly stabbed me in the back and turned against everything I stand for and believe in (even though that’s exactly what she did).

But I can no longer stay silent about this issue. I’m just here to express reasonable concerns shared by a lot of reasonable, concerned people. So please, listen to my concerns in a civil and respectful way.

That’s right. We all know what incident I’m talking about. I’m talking about how she didn’t play Spyro the Dragon 3 on stream for long enough.

Seriously, that was my favorite game of my entire childhood! And she stops playing after a mere 20 minutes and plays fucking Ape Escape instead?! Unbelievable. Unsubscribed. Unliked. Unfollowed. Un-hit-the-bell. Cancelled. I get that the damn skateboarding level was hard, okay? And it’s possible that she had consumed a few adult beverages beforehand and so it was hard to get the controls just right. But Natalie, the level is optional! All you have to do is press the start button and exit it, and you’re free to enjoy the rest of the game. And it’s one of the most classic games of its era! But all she got to experience was one measly level, dammit.

Natalie has deprived me of vicarious parasocial enjoyment of childhood nostalgia and robbed me of countless nanograms of potential dopamine, and I personally find that extremely problematic. I’m sure many others who grew up playing Spyro the Dragon on the PS1 feel the same. And I’m sure some of you will tell me to “just get over it”…but I cannot. This incident has probably left permanent scars on my psyche.

But despite how badly I’ve been damaged, I wish Natalie and all her fans a very pleasant evening and a great holiday season. And I look forward to the next time she decides to stream. Yes, even if it’s not Spyro.

Conspirituality can rob enjoyment and fulfilment from art and kind of wonder if that’s why they often become reactionary

Shows like The Simpsons aren’t just satire of problems, many that weren’t solved in the 90s, it becomes predictive programming. The London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony that features monsters from children’s books and dances celebrating Great Ormond Street Hospital becomes littered with Q-anon like conspiracies in the comments and predictive programming of COVID accusations. It makes art a thing to be afraid of, it makes artists behind something a villain rather than people

One thing that broke my brain was Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and seeing interviews of him on YouTube and reading the comments. Either Huxley was the devil incarnate doing predictive programming, or a hero who could do no wrong and was warning us with his prediction. I wouldn’t really think about possible 1930s sexism in the text, and now that I’m re-reading it (albeit the graphic novel version) the part of me that remembers feminist cringe compilations feels guilty for thinking about if that’s why none of the women in it are the top genetic caste, alpha. Wouldn’t think about how it’s a philosophical look at utilitarianism, religion, capitalism, communism etc. Or that it’s a satire and reflection of fears from the 1930s where quite a lot of it holds up today. It can be those things written by someone who maybe liked writing about drugs and orgies quite a bit. Rather than that I’d think we will literally end up in the new world order exactly like the world built in Brave New World. It is still a scary book (but I’ve now maybe allowed myself to find parts of it funny), amusement seems like a plausible and very successful way to run a dictatorship. I now hope I engage with that fear in a way where I keep my sanity more, and so far I’m not falling back into flirting with Q-anon like I did last time. I don’t know if it’s okay to come away from the book feeling a bit guilty about how at the moment I’ve not been protesting, I’ve just been drinking and playing video games in my spare time

I am quite conscious of the fact I’m prone to conspiratorial thinking and have started getting treatment for anxiety that will maybe lessen this. I’m also maybe… not stupid, like I’m doing a Master’s degree, but I’m also wondering how my university is letting me write a research paper for reasons other than they want my money… but TL;DR, I don’t read as much as I should.
