[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of Ng and performative behavior, she posted this Twitter thread in April of 2018, just a few months after she compared Dorland to Donald Trump for appearing on the Jumbotron at a Lakers game. Dorland had been invited to promote kidney donation.

I don't have a problem with Ng posting it. In fact I am glad she did. She did a good thing and people should think about helping. But in posting, she is literally doing something more performative than what Dorland did at the Lakers game. Dorland was invited for the purpose of kidney donation promotion. Ng was just sharing a story about how she helped someone.

That thread features this gem too:

Uggggggghhhhh, this drives me crazy. I have known so many people like this. People who are ultra performatove about their “good work” but extremely judgmental of others. In general but also specifically for doing the same stuff.

If I were Ng’s therapist I’d probably ask her if her loathing for Dawn was an act of recognition, of seeing in someone else the same desperate need for a specific kind of validation (that you are a “good person” and not a “bad person”) and thus just a way to externalize her own self loathing, to make it easier to carry.[/quote]
