Here’s a guy who was inspired to donate a kidney after seeing Dawn at the Lakers game. That’s why you’re supposed to talk about your donation. To take the fear out of it, show that you can live a full life after. [/quote]

I was actually JUST going to post this. I actually almost teared up, in part because the message itself is quite beautiful and important, but also knowing that the person who inspired this action is being villainized by a flurry of self-important privileged elites who found glee in shitting on her. Wow. And her posts about this were SO NORMAL. Like, SO NORMAL. Wtf.

The only thing that makes it make any sense is that Dawn was really, really annoying. But even still, so annoying that grown-ups acted like this over her? It's SO weird. I've hated on some annoying people, but not to the point I'd write a story that everyone would know was about them (except that was the point, right!), lift a whole letter .. UGH!! No one has explained what Dawn could have possibly have done to deserve this treatment by Sonya and the writers. I saw this post from a Jezebel writer who personally knows Dorland: https://jezebel.com/for-the-love-of-bad-art-friends-1847828213

"Dorland inspired a different reaction, and I have never known why. Here was someone who was driven and passionate about many of the same things as me (writing, social justice, reproductive rights) but whose approach to those subjects made me feel insecure in ways I still find hard to pinpoint. We were friendly at first but the chemistry went sour. I shrank back, but there was so much I wanted to say. The wall of her intensity clammed me up, and I didn’t know how to handle this in a healthy way. The viability of a friendship can seem less reliant on shared values or interests, sometimes, than whether your insecurities are compatible."

I don't know exactly what she's talking about though. In my twenties, I hated this girl at work called "Larla," and I can enumerate her many faults, with detailed stories explaining how Larla was a suck up, a twit, a hypocrite, a baby, and besides all that ugly, and etc. No one is very clear about why Dorland was offensive.

I developed a strong loathing of a woman I met in my early 30s after a brief friendship that went bad. But like you, I could explain in detail the reasons I came to hate this woman. I'm sure some people would find them petty (a lot of it has to do with these minor things that added up over time to drive me up the wall) but I could explain them. Yet I've seen nothing to explain why these people hate Dorland other than that she is intense and might come off as fake (her posts are super positive, stuff like the heart hands, all the hashtags). I can imagine being annoyed by someone like that, but not hating them unless they had done something to me specifically.[/quote]
