[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's still on Twitter quite a bit, but the main blue checks have mostly gone silent or made their accounts private, and they are waiting it out until they can pretend they didn't do what they did. Celeste Ng is tweeting endlessly about Afghan refugees.

Nothing will happen. [/quote]

I would like all these associated names to end up on DNR lists, for there to be some boycott movement, for people in the industries that they schmooze in to at least be aware of this. That's the only language that these people understand and will respect.[/quote]

I don't want this but I do want this crowd to be legit-scared of being on the business end of cancel culture.  I want them to find some humility and get that no one should be judged solely on their worst moments.  But, that said, if they stand by their actions -- as so far they have -- I have no sympathy, and plenty of other books to read.  [/quote]

I also think we need to rethink where we choose to apply the concept of solidarity.

A lot of people had solidarity with Larson initially because she was a WOC.

But the more you learn about this situation, the more you see that it is Dorland who is the outsider, who is marked by prejudice is relatable ways, whose actions were transparently driven by a desire to belong and connect to others.

Larson and her friends were the oppressive force here, no question.

I think we need to evolve our understanding of power from the de facto assumption that it is only ever abused by white men. It’s not.[/quote]
