[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on Dorland's side in this, also, and think the group texts were unbelievably mean, but I'm not sure the way he wrote the story is due to deceptiveness.  He sifted through a lot of material, and presumably had live interviews that we didn't have here.  Where he came out in the story isn't necessarily where we would come out.  That doesn't mean he was trying to hoodwink us.  Remember too that there was a Boston Globe exposee of the whole thing earlier and nobody seemed to have a problem with what Larson did there (though presumably they didn't expose the group texts.)

Anyway, ymmv.[/quote]

Consider also that while he can relate to - and write about with true understanding - writing culture, how writers treat each other, what is plagiarism, ambition and success — he’s also a dude writing about a woman being mean-girled, and THAT is the piece of this story that so many of us, as women, have lived and are recoiling the most over.

Truth.

Those group texts do change the narrative a lot though. It was seeing those texts that locked me into this obsession with this narrative. Especially once you read what Dawn was writing to Larson around this time because... ugh, she knew. She knew, and also she didn't want to believe it, and Larson was very effectively lying to her.

The idea that there are group texts out there somewhere doing exactly what you think they might do (talking extensively about how much you suck) is pretty miserable. [/quote]
