Contra teasted a new video today.
One of the things referenced is The Queen's Necklace:
View attachment 2339858
This is the necklace that was commissioned for Madame Du Barry, but King Louis XV died before it was completed and so Madame Du Barry never got it. As you might guess from looking at it, it was
super expensive because it had a shit-tonne of diamonds, so it fucked the jeweller over since he couldn't sell it.
A con artist pretended to buy it on Marie-Antoinette's behalf and then Marie Antoinette got in the shit because she refused to pay for it, since she didn't ask to buy it and never received it. It massively damaged Marie Antoinette's reputation, because France was struggling at the time and it was perceived that Marie Antoinette was spending the French coffers on frivolous extravagance and also trying to get out of paying. Contra's also posing in an 18th century look with a bloody neck, which presumbly references Marie Antoinette getting the guillotine.
There's also a bunch of evil eyes. Evil eyes are supposed to deflect negative energy. The cultures that use them are often in the context of someone being envious of e.g. how pretty your little girl is, and then that envy curses the little girl if that energy isn't displaced.
There also seems to be a reference to the Evil Queen cursing Snow White (because she was envious of how beautiful she was) with a poisoned apple, while a monochrome Contra has green eyes (as in green eyed, like green with envy).
I'd assume the video is about people being spiteful because they're jealous of you.
