ContraPoints, whose real name is Natalie Wynn, is known for slick, moodily lit YouTube videos that draw hundreds of thousands of views, where she brings a leftist perspective to a variety of hot-button issues — things like structural racism, Marxism, transgender politics, and the alt-right. With a wink, she calls herself “one of YouTube’s leading B-List transsexuals.”

I'm so tired of callout culture, and of how late capitalism seems to efface any separation between the private and promotional more and more with every passing day. Everything is brand, is image, is receipts, is done in public view of the entire world for everyone to pick apart, all on heavily-monetized, traffic-driven platforms.
