Abstract (english)
In today's political landscape, social media and video-sharing websites such as YouTube play an increasingly important role in making people aware of certain social issues, even shaping their opinions and worldviews. Recent years have marked the rise of right-wing pundits, as well as a proliferation of political YouTube channels which use anti-feminist and anti-SJW (social justice warrior, a frequently used pejorative term) rhetoric to unify its audience in a sense of resentment of not only leftist politics, but in some cases of minority groups. However, there has also been an increase of progressive and leftleaning YouTube activity, with several video-essayist channels rising to prominence and gaining large followings. These channels are often collectively referred to as LeftTube or BreadTube, and one of the most popular among them is ContraPoints, a channel dedicated to “sex, drugs, and social justice”. Written, directed and played by Natalie Wynn, ContraPoints ranges from (production-wise) fairly traditional video essays to fictional debates with an ensemble cast of characters (all played by herself). The channel is also notable for the fact that it chronicles Wynn’s gender transition and deals extensively with her experiences as a transgender woman. Therefore, the paper will argue that in creating ContraPoints, Wynn has found a way to intertwine the artistic, political, and personal purposes behind her performances; this in turn has prompted the viewers to gain sympathy for Wynn as a transgender woman, and her fans to form strong parasocial relationships with her.
