Lady Foppington

Lady Foppington is a persona of ContraPoints presented as an eighteenth century aristocrat. She is a persona often used to express archaic concepts still present in modern society such as race science, phrenology and monarchism.

Character
She is a transgender woman and was presented as Lord Foppington in "What is Race?" and "Degeneracy." Starting from "Jordan Peterson," she identifies as as a woman. Foppington still has some transphobic beliefs however; she refers to the concept autogynephilia in "Incels", possibly showing belief in the concept. In "Are Traps Gay?", she studies the eponymous question, differentiating between "transvestites" and "transsexuals," and claiming that both "inflame the lusts of men" before Contra can cut her off. However, she often accommodates non-binary individuals when she addresses the audience as "my lords, ladies, and those who lieth betwixt."

She is a racist, believing in eighteenth century phrenology and has a fixation with skulls. In "Incels" her belief in phrenology is shown to back up Incel phrenology when she analyses the skulls of different men and the skulls of trans women. In the same video Contra explains Foppington's fixation with skulls as they are a way to dehumanise the human body. In "Are Traps Gay?" she refers to anime as "animated pictures from the Orient" and calls anime characters "nymphid Japanesques."

Foppington is shown to believe in all types of authority. In "Jordan Peterson", she is used to mock Peterson's beliefs about hierarchy in lobsters relating to human society when Foppington agrees, arguing that lobsters justify authoritarian monarchies and hails the "Lobster Queen".

Lady Foppington is presented as British in many aspects. She speaks with an upper-class British accent, references the Commonwealth and Parliamentarians, her name is a parody of surnames in the British nobility and is accompanied by a spoof of the British national anthem. She also has some French elements to her: she dresses in an eighteenth century French style, speaks of going to a Parisian salon, and references the French queen Marie Antoinette with her line "let them vote for cake."

Despite embodying the past, Foppington does live in the present day, but has a hard time adjusting to modern life. She was once kicked out of Dairy Queen for her extreme monarchist views, and wanting to be the queen of dairy.

Relationships
She is the roommate of Natalie Wynn (as a character).

She is a rival of The Doctor, due to their differing views on race science.
