ContraPoints is just the name of the content creator, as the original video had the name in, I put it in the post too.

I believe it's a reference to the Iran-Contra affair, though honestly, I don't know how.

It’s just “counter”-points.

I always assumed it was kind of a reference to the term "contrapositive" and the term "counterpoints". No clue if that combination means anything, I didn't learn enough in college philosophy or math to comment on that.

Either way she's fucking lit

Contra in Greeek means:

preposition

against; in opposition or contrast to:
Consider the problems of the teenager contra those of the adult.

adverb

contrariwise; on or to the contrary.

Contra comes from Latin not Greek

'Contra' is just Latin for 'against'. 'Contra' in ContraPoints has nothing to do with Nicaraguan counter-revolutionaries.

I could be wrong, but her logo splits the word into Con- trap- oints which might be an intentional play on words to include the slur Trap to repurpose it and take it back. At least thats what i thought
