Natalie Wynn is an ex-academic philosopher and leftist YouTuber who makes videos about social justice issues like gender, sexuality, anti-fascism, anti-capitalism, social justice and feminism on her channel ContraPoints .

Her videos are known for their combination of dark and sexual humor, intricate set design, colorful lighting, and flamboyant costumes and makeup. What started as an attempt to deliver information on social issues eventually grew into a more long form monthly format that incorporates many cartoonish characters and plot lines, high production value, and a full musical score. Journalists have called her the "Oscar Wilde of Youtube" and a modern Socrates.

She also began her channel (by her own admission) as something of a political centrist, gradually moving further and further to the left due to the events of 2016  the ascendancy of Trump and the growth of the alt-right. Her channel has since criticised centrist liberals for, she claims, providing indirect support to the far-right by lumping fascists and anti-fascists together, and by taking white supremacists' excuses about just wanting "free speech" at face value.

Probably the most common theme on her channel is topics related to transgender identity. In early videos, Natalie identified as a crossdressing man, before coming out as genderqueer (nonbinary) in 2017, and then finally as a transgender woman six months later. To watch her earlier videos is to watch a woman coming to terms with her own gender identity. Following her transition progress as well as her evolution in technique and style makes for an interesting watch.

As of early 2020, she has removed her old, pre-transition videos (up to "Decrypting The Alt-Right"). She's explained that watching her old content is very painful for her as it triggers intense dysphoria, and those videos being available on the internet for everyone to see eventually became too much for her to feel comfortable with.

Compare to friend and fellow YouTuber H.Bomberguy, who also uses humor and theatricality to talk about similar issues, and Philosophy Tube, a fellow leftist philosopher and occasional voice-over in her videos whose style has been influenced by Contra's. Contrast with Shaun, another (if less aesthetically pleasing) leftist with a very British sense of humor.

Not to be confused with another YouTube channel called Counter Arguments, which discusses rhetorics and logical fallacies in general.

Some tropes you'll find in her videos include:
