[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh great, now Lithub is weighing in today and doubling down on the white woman tears. I seriously want to burn down the entire mainstream literary establishment right now. I will go out of my way to tell everyone I know to stop buying their books. So, is it fine for a POC to plagiarize a white woman? It seems a resounding YES. The only issue here is that Dawn didn't quietly oblige.

An excerpt:

"For me, Dorland’s claims conjure memories of white women abusing the legal system to protect their own privilege. As one scholar observed, history contains endless examples of white women weaponizing their tears and feminine fragility. We know some white women abuse the criminal justice system to threaten and intimidate people of color. But we often forget the history of white women abusing the civil system to achieve equally as pernicious ends. Scholars have studied this issue, with interesting research interrogating white women’s allegations of intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED) is a civil claim that provides compensation for the intentional infliction, by extreme and outrageous conduct, of severe emotional distress. In these claims, plaintiffs, like Dorland, must prove that the defendant’s conduct “goes beyond all possible bounds of decency, and is regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.”"

Why didn’t he just name-drop Emmitt Till? You know, for “context.” [/quote]

This man is a clown. Sonya made claims in her lawsuit that conflict has caused her distress, sleepless nights, weight loss, etc. Is she enacting feminine fragility in order to achieve her ends too? Maybe Dorland's claims don't meet the legal threshold for IIED; that doesn't mean they were malicious. [/quote]
