But personally I think Contra was always a bit of a centrist, she was always very vocal about the opitics of the left and how they should try harder to be ‘normal’. So I disagree with the writers implication that Natalie is like this because of some psychological failing, no I think Natalie is like this because she’s a wealthy woman who passes easily and could afford to belittle the left for not being as appealing to the masses as her. She has always had that liberal streak of “Hey guys let’s be normal adults here so we can get mainstream approval!”. You know, the same thing Dems do when they finger waggle at the left for being to woke and scaring away their precious centre-right base.
and I think that this author actually agrees with that, from what is written in the post. A lot of time is spent trying to paint a strawman “leftist anime pfp” caricature. Of course people are annoying, but it reminds me of basically of how contra felt about non binary people (silly, not to be taken seriously, and screeching on the internet)
I’m sorry but that’s a great one
You’ve got me there, that is a good line.

Ah I see. Thanks! This was yet another case of me misunderstanding author intent again.
no worries, you’re doing a great job
