I am going to need a gigantic spoiler warning for Islamic content to go through the sheer amount of screaming bullshit in
this blowjobby profile of Nyk by Katherine Cross for The Verge, a journalist from New York who is apparently
a huge Chelsey Manning fangirl so this is a gullible moron by default (though I love these highdef pictures because I can practically count the grains of makeup on Nyk's pan-caked face with those sad no-energy eyes):
For a time, Wynn pursued a PhD in academic philosophy, but she left when she found the academy too stifling and hidebound;
No, he left Northwestern because of his alcoholism and drug addictions making it impossible for him to concentrate on studying and because of the Peter Ludlow sex scandal which happened while he was there. Nyk went to Chicago to party and have a good time but the sex scandal put a damper on that because it made him realize that the students were getting too moody and mouthy for his liking and he would not be able to date undergrads with the kind of impunity he was able to do at Georgetown where he graduated under his dad's wing. In the Livestream with Dick Coughlan that Nyk later deleted to cover up he described Northwestern as a "conservative school where I had a hard time fitting in.". He said nothing about quitting his PhD because he spontaneously realized that philosophy was quite boring. Northwestern was too "conservative" for Nyk's liking because they would no longer put up with a professor dating undergrads.
In the end, she told me, White “flaked out” on the debate, and Wynn ended up chatting with the moderator to a “pretty small classroom.”
No, Blaire did not flake out, that is a lie that Nyk and Theryn perpetrated because they were getting a lot of heat from Nyk's fans for organizing the event and needed to deflect from themselves by blaming it on Blaire. Theryn dumped Blaire because she wanted to be alone with Nyk. Do you think Nyk and Theryn would have had such an explicit make-out stream if Blaire there with them and was the annoying third wheel getting in the way of their public flirtation? Blaire had to be cleared out of the way for Theryn to have Nyk all to herself. And Nyk did not end up chatting with the moderator, unless this is a euphemism for saying he ended up being metaphorically cocksucked by someone openly lusting after him. According to Franz Kurtzke,
the guy with the rainbow scarf who is yelled at by the audience at the end of the Vancouver video for the cardinal sin of asking a question about gender and pronouns, Theryn manipulatively edited his Q&A segment of the video to make it look like something other than what he actually said and what actually conspired (he had a video about this on Youtube that he ended up deleting because he got dogpiled by Nyk's fans). So Theryn was exposed by Franz Kurtzke for being a manipulative editor on behalf of Nyk.
"At first, I was confused that anyone could see me as this figure of any importance"
This statement is definitely a case of false humility. Here is what Nyk,
"the greatest human of all time" tweeted about himself before he got semi-big on Youtube. He is a narcissist and he wasn't at all humble about it back then.
“I basically had to radically change the way I behave online,” she tells me. She’s tried to draw a clearer line between her persona and herself, cutting back on revealing personal streams, eschewing flashy public debates, and thinking more critically about how her work will be understood.
All of which commitments he subsequently violated because he went right back to doing drunken streams, bath streams, make out streams, talking about his sex life with Theryn on the phone, he violated every promise he made to keep a greater distance between himself and his audience.
“Even though I think everything I said is essentially true,” she said, “I looked awkward. I was wearing this awkward pink anime wig and not looking at the camera and just talking like an insecure man. And I’m next to, you know, the conservative shitlord fish-queen supreme,” she said, laughing. “None of this has anything to do with reason, none of this has anything to do with evidence, none of these things people imagine themselves being persuaded by.”
That has nothing to do with anything because everyone agreed that Blaire won that debate because she was better informed than Nyk and had better arguments. If I made someone listen to that debate as a podcast with no visuals they would have still concluded that Blaire had the superior arguments. But Nyk will never accept that Blaire was a better debater than him.
“You [can] respond to a political opponent and have the model of that conversation be seduction. Because usually what you have on YouTube is this very combative posture right? Ownage. Wrecking. Destroying your enemy.” It is, she says, a “toxically masculine posture: the idea that a conversation or an argument is about destroying another person. That’s a terrible thought and a terrible way to have discourse.”
Here is what Nyk said about wrecking videos on his last Livestream: when Nyk feels down and depressed, he likes to watch videos of Chase - this ill-tempered aggressive transman on Youtube who is one scary piece of work - bashing Arielle Scarcella, a lesbian Youtuber who is a friend of Blaire White and has featured a whole slew of non-SJW trans people on her channel to answer questions posed to them about being trans by Arielle's audience. Arielle's basic format is to allow people who are unfamiliar a certain letter of LGBTQ to ask the person she interviews the kinds of garden variety questions you would expect from a lay audience. Chase hates Arielle because this format allows her audience to ask questions "they should not be asking". It's not that Nyk doesn't enjoy the wrecking style video, he most certainly enjoys watching Chase bash Arielle. It's that Nyk is too smug to pull it off himself, so he goes for the seduction-suckerpunch/knife-in-the-back video instead.
For all of her racy humor, Wynn is no edgelord. Throughout her interview, she was nothing if not deeply sincere.
Sincerety cannot be faked? But then this interview was conducted by a fangirl who thinks that Chelsey Manning is a serious political contender. This is not someone with any working sense of discernment.
She decries what she calls the “South Park” sensibility
Gotta make the obligatory South Park reference to virtue-signal to the SJW crowd who hate South Park for making fun of their safe space bull.
"she is profoundly new at this"
This is false. Here is what Nyk said about doing Youtube videos in
one of the pre-transition Livestreams that he later deleted to cover up:
"Before my current ContraPoints incarnation, over the last eight or nine years, I think I have made 350 Youtube videos. Most of them just improvised vlogs that I would just record in one take without a script. And those videos, I just don't like them. But I appreciate that other people did like them. And there were some good things about them. So I am not bashing you guys for liking them. It's just that I, because it is me, have a different relationship to them. But if I am any good at Youtube now, it's not... there is kind of an illusion, that I started on Youtube nine months ago. Really, I have been doing this on and off for nine years. So, if I am any good, it's because of practice."
He admitted before he transitioned that he has been at this since 2008 and that he already had 350 videos under his belt, all of which he deleted to cover up. This interviewer from The Verge is deliberately colluding with Nyk's myth-making that he was supposedly "born a Youtuber yesterday".
The point of this episode, one of her most elaborate and emotional performances, is to get inside the head of Tiffany to reveal how “how bigotry becomes internalized and how internalized bigotry becomes the alibi of external bigotry.”
No, this video is part of Nyk's vendetta against Blaire White, whom this idiot of a journalist describes as an
"ethnonationalist on the far right"... just go ahead and call her a Nazi already Katherine, isn't that what you intended to call her? Why hold back on the hatred? Nyk effectively communicated with this video that it's OK to hate Blaire because she's self-hating, or so Nyk likes to present her. Everyone who is aware of Nyk's resentment towards Blaire immediately recognized the wink-wink dogwhistles in the video, that the Muslims reference and MAGA hat reference were a nod at his regular audience who are in on the insiders' joke that this is about Blaire.
But after my time with her, I now sense a perceptible wink behind all that affected aloofness and decadent disdain. Committing the cardinal sin of our age, Wynn cares deeply; almost too much.
There's a wink, but it's not what Katherine thinks it means. This journalist from The Verge is amongst most gullible morons in journalism right now. The only person Nyk cares about is himself and no one else.
We had a particularly fruitful chat about the tendency for liberals and leftists to overuse words like “problematic” or “gaslighting” to the point of meaninglessness.
No, "gaslighting" isn't exclusively used by leftists, and gaslighting is certainly an appropriate term when it comes to Nyk because he constantly gaslights. He deletes his old videos to cover up his terrible reputation as an arrogant Youtube Atheist and before that as a Deepak Chopra New Ager. He makes promises he doesn't keep. He is disingenuous about the targets of his videos while winking at his audience who are in on the joke. He claims not to like "toxic masculine" wrecking videos while admitting in private that he watches Chase's very toxic transmasculine wrecking videos to cheer himself up. He does all of these other subtle things that no one else notices unless they have been following him for years and are already aware of his reputation and the shit he did in the past. All of this is gaslighting.
“How was I able to become a leftist figure on the internet? Well, only because I was nobody.”
No, he was not a nobody. When Nyk started ContraPoints v.2.0 in the spring of 2016, he already had about 10,000 followers that were leftover subscribers from his Nykytyne2 and his ContraPoints v 1.0 accounts, who then migrated into his new account. Most truly new Youtubers do not start out with 10,000 subs they had previously gathered over a period of 8 years, unless they've bought themselves
a can of bots. (Nyk said that he programmed a bot for his Discord server so he knows about the technical aspects of using bots and Manning could help him with the practical aspects too as a former counterintel officer.)
“I cried when I saw that cover of The Atlantic,” she told me. “Because I realize I had been an alibi to this person who’d just written this article for a major glossy magazine with a cover that appears to misgender a trans child twice.”
As for the Jesse Singal hysteria amongst these people, how on earth is Nyk doing a single interview with a gender critical journalist more controversial than the fact that Nyk is fuckbuddies with an MRA? As for becoming someone's alibi, Nyk certainly doesn't mind being Theryn's alibi, and Theryn needs an alibi more than Jesse does, because Theryn was with Lauren in London when they shot that video that got Lauren banned from entry into the country as a known provocateur, so if Lauren is a known provocateur with UK authorities so is Theryn, and it would be in Theryn's interest to pretend to do a 180 and become a born again SJW while having the famous SJW fuckbuddy in Nyk for proof to convince UK authorities and others keeping the tabs on her that she has supposedly completely denounced her far right friend Lauren Southern, denounced her other far right friend Blaire White with whom she used to Livestream, and by extention denounced her association with the same far right crowd Lauren was hanging out with that overlapped with Theryn's own MRA audience. (
Whose alibi do you think you are, Nyk?)
To conclude,
Katherine Cross apparently has her own history with Jesse Singal as one of his former interview subjects, which she does not disclose in this article. That is some scummy disingenuous journalism right here. She had an obligation to disclose that she has a personal vendetta against Jesse and is definitely not a disinterested party in this.
