Ash Wednesday

Speaking in the Language of YouTube | Ash Sarkar Meets ContraPoints

Natalie Wynn aka ContraPoints has spent several years crafting one of the smartest, most entertaining and beautiful channels YouTube has to offer. Her work is a political counterbalance to the forces of reaction so dominant online and a gasp of oxygen on a website awash with mediocrity. Ash caught up with Natalie over a humble Google Hangout to discuss the ‘dark enlightenment’, subverting the aesthetics of the alt-right, TERFs and how The Picture of Dorian Gray is actually secretly all about syphilis.
