Shoe0nHead

June Nicole Lapine, Ask.fm, Twitter Ask.FM ,Youtube: THE GAY HETERO COUPLE GAME better known as Shoe0nHead,, YouTubeThe username "shoe on head" is a reference to a now-dead meme. is an alt-right grifter who rose to prominence for videos making fun of online culture which most resembles right-wing strawmen (in particular Tumblr culture). As of 2022, Lapine's YouTube videos are mostly socially liberal but her Twitter feed contains a large amount of social conservative and alt-right dog whistling. Lapine's main YouTube channel has over 1.61 million subscribers and 128 million views.
While seemingly identifying with anti-feminist YouTube at-large,https://archive.is/wip/ShGN8 and espousing mainly anti-feminist views, she also shies away from the label 'anti-feminist',Twitter: https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/569011970181087232 and has preferred the label, "egalitarian" instead,, Ask.fm and self-describes as a social democrat.http://archive.is/k19Cb
Rather than being a responsible critic of Tumblr culture like the first of her kind (William Shetterly etc), Shoe has a history of dog-whistling far-right politics, being unusually chummy with totally-not-racists and transphobic grifters, videos with literal white supremacists, and so on. This may not accord with her self-described label "egalitarian". Her YouTube career took off with Gamergate.
==Origins==
Before consolidating her time into antifeminist activities, Lapine maintained two main YouTube channels, YouTube, YouTube and several testing/inactive channels., YouTube, YouTube She supported the female men's rights activist (MRA) group Honey Badgers, The Libertarian Republic and appeared on The Freedom Report podcast., YouTube She also wrote three articles for The Libertarian Republic,, The Libertarian Republic but left "because it was too political."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2cEV2c2zh8&t=26m9s
Lapine first achieved major fame from her "Oppression Olympics" video in 2014, which she made around a month before Gamergate. She credits the success of this video to it being shared by Thunderf00t.https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/131149354486 She has additional channels called "misandryqu33n", "Shoe0ffHead"and "Brainlet".Brainletmisandryqu33n on YouTube., YouTube Her misandryqu33n character is a caricature of a modern, pink-haired, liberal feminist. Using this character, she participated in the "Pee Your Pants for Feminism" hoax., Twitter, SunTimes National, Daily Dot In a satirical #ResistCapitalism picture, she managed to fool Paul Joseph Watson who believed it was genuine., The Libertarian Republic Lapine has said that the picture was meant to be an obvious parody, and she was not trying to trick anyone.https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/133888258294
==Political views==
Lapine self-describes as left-wing. In the past, Lapine has self-described as "left-libertarian leaning",, Twitter "left-liberal",, june, Twitter, Twitter a "social democrat",http://archive.is/RtIP4https://archive.is/mPBcB but not particularly ideological.About Shoe0nHead, Archive.is 
She also supported Bernie Sanders for president,http://archive.is/RtIP4 and wanted Tulsi Gabbard to be Sanders' VP.https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/1192222434881130496https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/1128526901373489152
In December 2020, while taking a test on a livestream,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RURBQslk_MA she revealed believing in 9/11 conspiracy theories.
The vast majority of her video content criticizes feminism (particularly the more “radical” varieties). However, Lapine argues that she does not hate individual feminists, Twitter and is friendly with several prominent feminist YouTubers, such as Marina Watanabe (Marinashutup),https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/812125612936744960https://twitter.com/marinashutup/status/812193127012237312https://archive.is/u9VQXhttps://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/137823802614https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/131318870262 ContraPointshttps://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/981239761028427776https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/927431339367895040https://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/862107474270318592Blaire White.

While from 2018 onwards, she no longer identifies with the alt-right crowd (despite the majority of her fans being the exact same people), she has however carried over her old anti-feminist grudges and style of reasoning to her new platform, scapegoating them instead under hatred of "liberals". Whilst she always supported gay rights and mocked conservatives before this (see Views on Conservapedia), a lot of her current activity is pandering to the "dirtbag" leftists — who think leftism is not incompatible with using lots of slurs — which makes her a populist.
As of 2021, Lapine is scathing of the vague gestures supporting democracy, particularly from the Democratic Party, lampooning The Washington's Posts slogan "Democracy Dies in Darkness"@shoe0nhead tweet, 2021 April 8, archived on 2021 April 21] while viewing corporations, elitists donors, and special interests as controlling democracy under the guise of being for the people and workers."#DemExit our ‘democracy’ is controlled by a corporation that doesn’t care about you, only it’s donors & special interests. dems stopped being the party of the people and the workers a long time ago. i’m only a democrat now because NY requires me to be one to vote for bernie.", @shoe0nhead tweet, 2020 March 10, archived on 2021 April 21"the "cabal" of elites and lobbyists worked together just this one time dude they all came together like the avengers to defend democracy and that's it trust me bro",@shoe0nhead tweet, 2021 February 6, archived on 2021 April 21 She has called out actual anti-democratic musings by the National Review."what in the elitist hell world ass shit is this", @shoe0nhead tweet, 2021 April 7, archived on 2021 April 21 Lapine will sometimes laugh at "Qanon boomer conspiracy theories""i’ve been laughing at Qanon boomer conspiracy theories about that man for the past few days i didnt expect the president of the united states to join in", tweet by sh0eonhead, 2020 June 9, archived on 2020 Jun 9 but other times she is not completely dismissive of conspiracy theories and QAnon.@shoe0nhead tweet, 2021 April 8, archived on 2021 April 21"winning strategy you guys lets just hope the “party of QAnon” doesnt run any decent policies. also wouldnt wanna cater to non-college educated voters would we", @shoe0nhead tweet, 2021 April 19, archived on 2021 April 21 She supports Bernie Sanders"some reasearch paper listed me as not left, not center, not right, but *FAR RIGHT* even my 2nd channel that is *dedicated* to talking about bernie sanders lmfao in awe find ur faves", shoe0nhead tweet, 2020 December 1, archived on 2020 December 7 and does not support Donald Trump,"i was a bernie or buster in 2016, i never supported trump. i was optimistic about him tho and thought the drain the swamp shit was neat", @shoe0nhead tweet, 2021 February 21, archived on 2021 April 21 but seems to be more sympathetic to the worldview of "magas" versus the "neoliberal hell world" of center-left Democrats like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton."it’s not really over though it’s only just begun this was an obstacle magas you can join us bullying biden for 4 years of neoliberal hell world, whenever you are comfy comin over. we saved you a seat.", tweet by @shoe0nhead, 2020 November 23, archived on 2021 April 21 She is prone to using old 4Chan memes like Pepe without caring that, perhaps, someone might see that as racist."post pepes and apus ITT", @shoe0nhead tweet, 2021 April 8, archived on 2021 April 11 Especially when she uses Pepe to cheer on Parler."big win for Q boomers and me", @shoe0nhead tweet, 2021 April 19, archived on 2021 April 21 Strongly against police brutality,"in March, 13 year old Adam Toledo was shot dead by police just today the bodycam footage was finally released. which showed him complying when he was ordered to drop the gun", tweet by shoe0nhead, 2021 April 15, archived on 2021 April 21 her opinion on Black Lives Matter has evolved from referencing the Gateway Pundit to call it "black supremacy trash" in 2016,"daily reminder "black lives matter" is black supremacy trash", @shoe0nhead tweet, 2016 July 3, archived on 2021 April 21 to supporting it (while nonetheless coming up with bizarre conspiracy theories involving BLM, police and corporations)"the brands are getting behind blm so that the police are defunded/abolished and become privatized so then the brands can create their own police forces", tweet by shoeonhead, 2020 June 7, archived on 2021 April 21 in 2020.

==Antifeminism==
Lapine describes herself as an "egalitarian" and opposes the term “feminism”, but she says the term "anti-feminist" makes her cringe.Twitter: https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/569011970181087232 She also seems to have identified as part of 'anti-feminist youtube' nonetheless.https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/722647396304449536
===Arguments===
Lapine has three videos accusing feminism of being an "oppression quest." These include: 
*Oppression Olympics
*Oppression Quest (as misandryqu33n), YouTubeLapine has now unlisted this video. She says the reason for this is that it is a "terrible video 0/10 irrelevant gamergate stuff that wont age well and has no re-watchable quality".
*Internalized Misogyny, YouTube
Most of Lapine's other videos feature standard antifeminist arguments. Here are several of the more prominent examples:
*"feminist movie logic"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sEFIX4fkPw
*"how much of a feminist are you? (quiz)"YouTube: how much of a feminist are you? (quiz)
*"i need feminism because compliments"YouTube: i need feminism because compliments
*"shut up woman, now let me tell you why you need feminism"YouTube: "shut up woman, now let me tell you why you need feminism" 
*"who stole feminism?"YouTube: who stole feminism?
Unfortunately, much of Lapine's content consists of tired talking points and strawmen. For example, Lapine argues that feminism is unnecessary because women have the legal rights of men (and Lapine hasn't personally felt oppressed):
Lapine portrays feminists as whiny SJWs competing to be the most oppressed:
Lapine further describes feminism as currently existing only to solve first world problems:, The Libertarian Republic
Lapine suggests that feminists uncritically accept all abuse accusations (and admit it):
Lapine also believes that, because the commonly-cited "average wage gap" figure doesn't account for confounding factors, the gender wage gap itself does not exist:, YouTubeYouTube: the wage gap (#equalpayday)
In short: if you've listened to any other anti-feminist, you've already listened to Lapine's arguments.
===Joke segments===
Lapine really likes to "parody" feminism. At length. In every video. For example, in "Oppression Olympics", Lapine says:, YouTube, July 21st 2014
As Misandryqu33n in "the harassment of women on youtube needs to stop", Lapine says:, YouTube, YouTube
As Misandryqu33n in "anime is codeword for misogyny", Lapine says:, YouTube
These parodies do not attempt to break down feminist arguments, reductio ad absurdum style. Instead, they merely restate common feminist views in a shallow, extreme, and logically flawed way. In this way, Lapine's parodies are not skepticism or even satire.
===Anti-Antifeminism===
However, Lapine is also critical of Nice GuyTM syndrome,"questions" for men answered by woman Shoe0nHead (YouTube). January 31, 2016.Twitter: . Ask.fm: . conservative fear-mongering about same-sex marriage,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQs8ev-7DFI some antifeminist YouTubershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ2PGyeQQ64 and the more extreme antifeminist movements like the Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) movement.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmO1cMuUl7A She has been involved in feuds with some of the more extreme antifeminists:
*Lapine tweeted that Roosh V "is a psychopath".@CHSommers roosh is a psychopath and a joke. pity those who only see the world in black and white., june, Twitter This upset Roosh so much that he wrote an article calling Lapine *gasp* a feminist.Why The Female “Anti-Feminist” Is A Feminist In Disguise, Roosh V Lapine has succinctly described Roosh V as "a pathetic man."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2cEV2c2zh8&t=33m31s
*One of Lapine's joke videos as Misandryqu33n was taken to be real by antifeminist YouTuber "The Satiratician", who put together a response so bad that Armoured Skeptic wrote:, YouTube
*Lapine mocked Davis Aurini for repeatedly having a skull in the background of his videos.https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/637892803050270721https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/637902353761501184https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/637820321526095872https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/651427287460642819https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/135892097782 
*Lapine had this to say when asked why she hated Bearing, a popular antifeminist YouTuber: 
*She also hates Undoomed's videos.https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/139831669494https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/137465190390https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/137819183094

Lapine has the following message to non-feminists: 
==Donald Trump==
Lapine has a negative view of Donald Trump., Twitter, Twitterhttps://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/761434788133675008https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/649308387612696577https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/629787140109508608https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/131729322998https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/131831338998 She also hates Hillary Clinton.https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/796816038952321024https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/796465252288393218https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/796464047369703425https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/728099832032694273In the 2016 election, her preferred candidate was Bernie Sanders. Despite her overall dislike of Trump, Lapine has occasionally downplayed the potential negative consequences of his presidency and has defended some of his controversial behaviour and policies. In one case, she even admitted she underestimated the threats posed by the Trump administration. For instance: 
*Lapine's video, "faux hate crimes", is a reading of several obviously fake hate crimes allegedly committed by Trump supporters after his election. Although Lapine cautions that "I'm not a psycho who enjoys hate crimes", the implication is that "the sudden increase of [air quotes] hate crimes [air quotes]" is not real., YouTube She repeated this on Twitter., Twitter The FBI reported that the number of hate crime reports in the US had increased in 2017, by 17% from 2016. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/13/us/hate-crimes-fbi-2017.html
*Lapine defended Trump's "grab 'em by the pussy" comments as being "clearly him riffing off and purposely sounding douchey." She did concede that his comments were "embarrassing and cringe worthy."http://shoe0nhead.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-scary-overcompensation-of-devin.html (archive)
*Lapine said that she agrees with Trump on Islamic terrorism because "our countrys under attack. being scared of islam is a side effect."
Lapine held a "wait and see" approach on the issue of Trump and gay rights. In November 2016, Lapine said that she highly doubts Trump will undo gay rights., Twitterhttps://archive.is/030DE In her (now-removed) "dear LGBT people", she says:Original was deleted. See , YouTube
 Lapine has since said that she only wanted to give Trump a chance and "if Trump winds up being bad for gays and the LGBT, I will fight right alongside you."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2cEV2c2zh8&t=42m25shttps://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/850882641486389248 Given that Trump has already personally attacked trans rights,https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/10/us/politics/trump-transgender-military.html?mcubz=0 total neutrality seems unlikely.
She has since admitted her comments and predictions about Trump and LGBT rights were wrong:https://web.archive.org/web/20181022071448/https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/1054153683733282818
She has underestimated Republican Party's platform, their political power to enact those platforms, and Trump's power to appoint SCOTUS justices. (a response to Shoe0nHead's video from Creationist Cat that features content from said video), YouTube
==Racism and white nationalist friends==
Lauren Southern is Lapine's "former" token white nationalist friend.https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/140659418870https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/139923093238 Lapine collaborated with Southern in her "I Stand With Hillary" video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFsFZwpB-tEhttps://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/134316137974
In a now unlisted 2016 video with Gregory Fluhrer (Armoured Skeptic), Lapine discussed Milo Yiannopoulos' suspension from Twitter for reposting memes of Ghostbusters star (a black woman) as an ape. After Fluhrer said "she looks like a man", which Lapine and Fluhrer agreed was "not racist", Lapine added that Jones is "ugly" and "looks like a gorilla":Shoe0nHead: ghostbusters controversy/ "men aren't funny" YouTube.

==Black Lives Matter==
Shoe0nHead has previously described Black Lives Matter as full of racists hyped by the media to start a race war:
Thankfully she wasn't supportive of a "white lives matter" movement:
In May 2020 she publicly reversed her stance on the subject:
==LGBT issues==
Lapine is bisexual,https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/140677009910https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/139869716214https://web.archive.org/web/20171204133527/https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/763179538620772352 has criticized anti-LGBT views and has been mostly supportive of the LGBT community.https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/141115419382https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/141097569270https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/140445048310https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/139549266422https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/118833865462https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/129800765942 One of Lapine's friends since childhood is transgender.https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/140592043254https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/137195694326https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GFOj8xdFrE
She also initially praised Blaire White's "2 Genders" argument,https://archive.is/https://ask.fm/shoe0nhead/answers/134784341750 which exists entirely to strawman identity labels as "trying to make gender a social construct."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9WqfBDjRF8 Lapine used this argument as a front to attack people defending or describing identity labels and paint them as the ones belittling gender dysphoria.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlSCfBwMSG0&t=300s White, in turn, liked Lapine's use of her argument and adopted it into her own rant a month later.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnQbgShb6r8&t=4s
In May 2017, she expressed regret for calling certain individuals "trans-trenders" and showing some support to the idea of needing to be either masculine or feminine.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLZIMSrBwvE&t=1m22s She went on to say: 
She has made a video criticizing Marvel’s tokenized portrayal of a non-binary person.Judging Marvel's "New Warriors" Failure The comic book in question also received backlash for its trite clichés.Why Marvel's "New" New Warriors have already sparked backlashMarvel's first nonbinary hero is codenamed snowflake
She also made a video deconstructing TERFs, whom she describes as the "Chromosome Crusaders" and calls out their transphobia and general discriminatory behavior.The Chromosome Crusaders
