Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This was awesome! Been a fan of both Contrapoints and h3h3 for a few years now and I love to see my YouTube worlds collide.
Just a great episode. I hope she comes back with Hila and maybe you guys discuss less serious topics leading to a lighter tone since Natalie can be pretty funny and I can see how the humor would mesh.
I would definitely say that this is one of ethans best interviews
I didn’t know who ContraPoints was, but she is an amazing person! the fact that she was able to talk to Ethan and help him understand more about transgenders and dating and so on on the subject of it all was probably my favorite part. Because it not only helped him understand more but people that watch H3H3 and have no idea on the subject she gave some very useful information!
Yay!
Heard the constant repeating of “Contrapoints will be on next week” from Ethan to which I was like “who the fuck is Contrapoints?” so I had to go check her out and her content is fantastic.
As a straight dude in his early 20’s I will admit I did use to be very “i’m right wing, trans people aren’t actually the gender they identify as, two genders, blah blah blah im a fuckin’ idiot”, thankfully I realised about 3 years ago of how ignorant I was politically and that watching all of these right wing youtubers was really brainwashing me into these hard political stances that honestly now im not sure why I believed in the first place.
Granted, even being more progressive today I’ll admit that im rather “uneducated” I suppose, I support people who dont conform with their assigned at birth gender, I say identify as whatever, doesnt affect me and it doesnt hurt anyone so let people be who they want to be.
However trans culture has always had an air of mystery to me, I support it but I dont think ive really understood why someone would identify as trans and what that is like, but Contrapoints has really helped alleviate a lot of that for me with her videos, they’re really well written and informative and she goes into very deep detail about her and the trans community as a whole, so I applaud her for giving me that perspective.
Now im off to go listen to this podcast.
Hahaha, the "he's stealing it!" soundbyte at 4:46 caught her off guard a bit.
Re: why do rural republicans “vote against their interests”? I’ve lived in rural states my entire life. ESPECIALLY in rust-belt states, a lot of the people “voting against their interests” do not want handouts even if they are taking them! They want to be able to support their families with the jobs that are either dying or have left the US (ie coal, manufacturing). Watch Trump rallies from 2016. He was speaking directly to these people, even if it was full of false promises.
If you can stomach the awful format of Cracked, this is a great read that expands more on this. Trump might be voted out, but Trumpism is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

edit: Ha, paused the pod after Ethan asked this question to write this comment only to press play and hear Natalie reply with basically the same answer.
This was a really insightful and enjoyable episode. Would love to see more like this. Very welcomed change of pace.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this every since they announced it! I never thought I’d see my two favourite youtubers together. I think they both did a great job and it was really enjoyable to watch.
It was really informative to hear Natalie break down some of the medical stuff about her transition- I feel like she talked about it in a way I haven’t ever heard on her channel. I imagine it’s not the most comfortable topic and I hope she didn’t feel pressured (I imagine they go over what topics they’ll talk about beforehand?) It was clearly Ethans first time approaching this subject in this format and I think he did his best and was as respectful as he could be.
Anyways loved it. People that are saying “too political” or whatever just need to turn off the show and watching something else for a night. Not everything needs to please you 100% of the time. Just come back in a couple days for another after dark episode or whatever’s next. There’s no need to be a whiney stick in the mud.
Also Natalie looked so beautiful... When did this turn into beautiful world?
