Tabby seemed like the fading image of whatever vestige leftism was left in the Contrapoints franchise over time as the wine glass clinking and brunches went on.
At first Tabby was portrayed in a semi-sympathic ironic way, wrong "respectable optics" but right in "ideology", as Contrapoints became financially more stable and more "passable" meaning more palatable to the hegemony, Tabby fell into a weird strawmen freakdom a "loonie" who due to childish pursuits "does not get it" and "ruins it for everyone" and her refusal to make herself representable to heteronormative values made her "dead weight".
Really fantastic insight into the radlib to imperalist mindset.
Weird that the edgy right-winger would continue to be edgy and right-wing? It's almost as if a sexual awakening doesn't have much to do with political alignment outside of if their status within society changes.

I like the whole black block anarchist cat with a bat thing, but I also don't like ContraPoints misappropriating my name for what might be a parody. I've been doing the whole feral hissing catgirl thing nearly a decade before ContraPoints made videos (I had more scifi vibes than anarchist vibes tho), but I've actually had someone accuse me of referencing ContraPoints
Better Comrade Tabbies are possible.
SF anarchism goes hard, no lies detected.
