[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not the first to feel this way, but I feel like the discourse around this is going to be seen as a sea change within the culture wars years from now. The fact that this discourse is largely happening within "The Left" and features such polarizing opinions where a lot of people are like, "Wait... that actually doesn't make sense," and causing people to REALLY stop and think about how their biases are functioning against them.

I say this as a die-hard liberal.[/quote]

I think this comment will turn out to be prescient.

If the Chunky Monkeys were not POC, the narrative would be more straightforward.  This is a group of people who were so invested in mocking someone who was needy, weird, and not like them that one of them took it to the level of creating the best inside joke of publishing a story that would be immediately recognizable to everyone in on the joke for what it was.  The plagiarism aspect that ironically outed the jig is a red herring -- Larson was mocking, not copying.  What makes the story disorienting is that the group of classic mean girls have identities to lean on to justify the behavior.  A clueless whiny white woman is fair game.  [/quote]
