History Characters / ContraPoints

* GirlsWithMoustaches: Due to their preference of wearing facial hair with dresses, this comes into conflict with Tiffany and Jesse's very cis-normative view of gender.

->''My, as you say, "deal", is I don't like society forcing me into tiny little boxes.''

[[caption-width-right:199:Dark mother, cold mother, kind mother. CRUEL MOTHER!]]

The all powerful, dark figure worshiped by Abigail Cockbane and Contra herself throughout the series. Apparently takes the form of [[WebVideo/FeministFrequency Anita Sarkeesian]].

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Deconstructed in "Decrypting the Alt-Right: How To Recognize a Fascist" - she calls herself an identitarian and an "alternative ethno-nationalist", as it is a common tactic for modern white nationalists to call themselves anything but fascists to retain their good image in the public eye.

* CreepyCrossdresser: Wears black leather and thigh-high boots.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Freya never calls herself a Nazi in public, but rather "white pan-Nationalist identarian" or something like that, so she can promote core neo-Nazi and white nationalist ideas and concepts without addressing them directly.

* OurSloganIsTerrible: Her slogan is (shudder) "Make Traps Gay Again". For those not in the know, "trap" is a slur referring to trans women or male crossdressers, based on the {{stereotype}} that these individuals appear deceptively feminine but [[UnsettlingGenderReveal surprise their partners with a penis]] once the clothes come off. {{Anime}} fanboys in communities like Website/FourChan have been known to debate whether attraction to such characters should be considered gay.

* OurSloganIsTerrible: Her slogan is (shudder) "Make Traps Gay Again".

* OutOfFocus: She was a pretty big reccurring feature of Contra's early videos, but dropped in significance as other characters where introduced and her style changed.

Introduced in ''What is Gender'', The Doctor usually shows up to explain complex concepts from a scientific standpoint. [[RuleOfFunny Usually]].

* AuthorAvatar: For their first two appearances, ''What is Gender?'' and ''What is Race?'' they are basically a stand in for Natalie. Later appearances have them as a completely different character separate to Natalie

* [[MrExposition Mx Exposition:]] The Doctor's main role is usually to provide exposition.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Their appearance in ''Gender Dysphoria: The Movie'', as a transphobic doctor trying to force Contra to become a man, completely contradicts their appearances in other videos. Then again, the whole video is a David Lynch style nightmare narrative, so it might all be in Contra's mind.

* BeautyMark. Has one on her right cheek

* TheDandy: Is as of yet, the most vain and fashion focused character in the Contraverse.
* DecoyProtagonist: An early Twitter post and the beginning of the video made her out to be the focus of "What is Race?" Foppington is then chased out by The Doctor, who takes over.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Despite her confidence in her understanding of race, her science knowledge is somewhat....outdated.

* SkeletonMotif: She has a thing about skulls. It's a lighter example that most of this, as it has more to do with her belief in phrenology over any association with death.

* CreepyCrossdresser: Wears black leather and thigh high boots.

* GratuitousGerman: She's a Nazi, duh.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Freya never calls herself a Nazi in public, but rather "white pan-Nationalist identarian" or something like that, so she can promote core neo-Nazi and white nationalist ideas and concepts without addressing them direcrly.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgSypRHsqAQ ''Under the Double Eagle'']] by Joseph Wagner

%%* VillainWithGoodPublicity

-> "Death. Death, death, death, death! It's the only thing everyone fears, and the only thing that get's me off!

* FaceHeelTurn: Becomes a reactionary "Laziness is a trait in blacks" "I beat China all the time" "I think I am a nice person" Donald "I beat China all the time" Trump supporter similar to people like Blaire White some time between her first and second appearances.

The self proclaimed "Hostess of Horror" and "Mistress of Mayhem" who is first seen as a presenter for ''Pronouns.''
* AmbiguousSituation: As of yet its hard to tell whether [=LaVey=] is meant to be seen as a character played by an in-universe actress for some kind of Halloween special or if she is an actual character in the Contraverse.

* BurningTheFlag: She is seen doing this at the end of "Pronouns."
* DarkIsNotEvil: Her parenting aside, that is...
* LargeHam: Like so many other characters in the Contra-verse.
* NightmareFetishist: She seems to get turned on by the macabre.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: She notably has red eyes, or at least red contacts.

* OnlySaneMan: The Doctor has no patience for Lord Foppington's pseudoscientific approach to race.

* PhraseCatcher: GetOut, delivered with increasingly lurid threats by the Doctor.

A pink haired radical feminist who spends more time attacking trans women and people with kinks then she does tackling women's issues. She's published several books, including the critically acclaimed "You Can Come For Free At Home: The Case Against Prostitution", "The Trans Menace: Lesbian Genocide and the Rape of Feminism", and her recent doctoral thesis, titled "Sacred Passage: The Divine Femininity in Flux and Flow".

* EmoTeen: Was shown wearing an all black outfit, while "Bring Me To Life" played when asked how she dressed at 14.

* NoTrueScotsman: As a TERF, she believes that no trans-woman counts as an actual woman.

An 18th Century dandy first appearing in ''What is Race?'' Foppington embodies the historic roots of many of the prejudices that exist today, including race and degeneracy. Identifies as a Lord Foppington in her first two videos before transitioning over to Lady Foppington in ''Jordan Peterson''.

A self proclaimed "Classical Liberal" and host of "The Freedom Report" – a not-so-subtle parody of The Rubin Report. Although she tries to take the center position in any debate, she often ends up parroting right-wing talking points.

* AmbiguousSituation: As of yet its hard to tell whether [=LaVey=] is meant to be seen as a character played by an in universe actress for some kind of Halloween special or if she is an actual character in the Contraverse.

A far-left communist antifascist catgirl. In complete contrast to Freya, Tabby is well-meaning but struggles to connect with the common person, coming across as overly intellectual and militant; either lecturing people on dialectical philosophy or threatening to bash their skulls in with her trademark baseball bat.

* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: She has a very "us vs them" world view, showing intense dislike to everyone not on her side. She would rather inflict violence against those who oppose her as opposed to wining them over. And by "oppose her", we mean Nazis, centrists, and liberals ("liberals get the bullet too!").
* BombThrowingAnarchists: As a bat-swinging ANTIFA {{Catgirl}}, she's in the left-wing camp, and her first (and sometimes only) answer to any problem is "[[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized REVOLUTION!!!]]" - while Contra seems to agree that such an attitude ''[[StrawmanHasAPoint might]]'' be warranted with, say, [[ThoseWackyNazis Fritz/Freya]], Tabby [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity also expresses just as much violence against centrists, and even liberals]].

A trans Youtuber who does vlogs and makeup tutorials giving lifestyle tips for trans women. Once an intersectional feminist debating [=TERFs=], she's now become an islamophobic Trump supporter, and thinks appealing to conservatives is the most important goal of trans politics - in order to be seen as "normal".

* GayPanic: Repulsed by the fact that Adria Finley from the Youtube show Intersectional AF talks about being a transgender lesbian, as well as Adria's detailed digressions on "girl dick".

* OutOfFocus: She was a pretty big reoccurring feature of Contra's early videos, but dropped in significance as other characters where introduced and her style changed.

* [[StonersAreFunny Drunks Are Funny]]: In a video, she interrupts Contra, who offers her a drink to chill out. Cut to her excitedly dancing to Boney M.'s "Rasputin", about which Contra comments that it's having a "very strange effect on her".

->''You'll never know what it's like to birth life out of your sacred passage.''

* IgnoredEpiphany: She seems to have some pretty extreme kinks that she almost comes to terms with part way through her first video. Almost.
