[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious about 2 things. 1) have any of the chunky monkey (gad that name) writers come across as decent in the group texts? Any of them distance themselves or express regret at piling on?

Next - has anybody who knows them in real life spoken up about anything? I guess Dawn Dorland corrected the Gawker article, has she written anything else?

I think I need to stop thinking about this story. I don’t know why it’s bothering me so much or why I kept looking at it but after tonight I’m gonna do what SL should have done when she realized reading DD Facebook page was making her feel bad, and realize this isn’t great to keep reading if it makes me so mad / sad / etc. [/quote]

I haven't seen a single shred of decency among the Chunky Monkey writers. Not one expressing remorse, not one acting like a normal empathetic decent person in the emails or texts that have come out. My theory is that Celeste Ng was the epicenter of the group, and she set the tone - and everyone else there was just trying to match her behavior and writing style in order to stay in her favor and remain part of the in group. I think she's actually the biggest monster in this whole episode. You can see multiple instances where Sonya - who is clearly not a nice person, or a very prolific writer - is asking Ng, are you sure this is ok? Shouldn't I change the wording more, or something to make it less recognizable? And Ng keeps urging her on.

Imagine if just one of the people in that group had said: Hey, for a bunch of reasons you should change the wording of the letter. We know you really like this particular wording but I bet if we brainstorm we can get you something even better.
