I'm planning on a rewatch of all of Natalie's videos and tangents and I want to be writing notes for each video so I can easily reflect back on the philosophy (I am one of those people who treats free time as school). So I want the order of my notes to be coherent, so do you have any suggestions for the different sorting and grouping of Natalie's videos? Here is what I got but let me know if you have any better, more nuanced titles/suggestions for grouping:

VIOLENCE: Saw, Justice, Justice 2 (Envy section), violence, Satansim

SEXUALITY: Twilight, Shame, "Are traps gay?", Incels, Autogynephila, Degeneracy (might be wrong, having watched degeneracy in ages) (does sexual personae go here?), The Male Gaze, Eyes Wide Shut

GENDER (sub-groups needed): The witch trials of JK Rowling, JK Rowling, "Transtrenders", Beauty, Gender Critical, Pronouns, The Aesthetic, Tiffany Tumbles, Men

POLITICS (i feel this group can definitely be split into sub-groups and be more nuanced): Conspiracy, Voting, The West, What's wrong with capitalism 1 and 2, America: still racist, The Left, decrypting the alt right, the groomer libel, granola fascism, daddy politics, jordan peterson

SOCIAL DISCOURSE: The Hunger, Envy, Cringe, Cancelling, The Darkness, The Apocalypse, Gamergate, Barbie, AI, parasocial relationships, generations

AESTHETICS: Opulence, The Aesthetic, Liminal spaces, Surreal videos

RELIGION: New Atheism, psychedelic experiences, spirituality

okay i think that is everything, sorry if i missed something. I definitely think the politics and gender groups are too big and can be split into two topics, let me know what edits you will do.

Thanks so much, scholar's remain divided over this grouping (iykyk)

hellooo, this is my first post on reddit! i made this account just for this subreddit ngl

I saw this trailer and bells immediately started ringing in my head. The repeated imagery of penetration of the spear next to sensual shots felt very Saw, specifically when natalie talked about the representation of the knife as a phallus in slasher films and the voyerism the viewer experiences vicariously through the murderer.

It's interesting how this penetrative, violence of the spear is compared to lesbian sex and female sexuality, with hannah einbinder's character talking about the distance she experienced previously in relationships, I feel like there could be a link to twilight there.

also the monster/slasher thing is called little death, which is what orgasm in french means, La petite mort

also, it's the same director of I Saw the TV Glow.

I wonder if any of you could think of any other conta-links from the trailer, it seems like a film which could relate to alot of natalie's work :-) (also I hope this is considered 'on topic', i am a bit unsure, also I don't know if i need to censor any of the language here, apologies if i should've)

(trying) to sort Contra's videos into topic groups

Film trailer feels very contra-esque
