[quote=Anonymous]I've been wondering something about Dawn's class background and plain way of interacting with people: maybe one of the reasons the Chunky Monkeys maligned her is because she isn't adept at performing allyship/anti-racism as expected in bourgeois liberal writing and academic circles. My read of her is that she isn't so self-conscious of coming across as a Good White Person, which i personally respect as a black woman. The specific way the white writers in this group were salivating over her destruction is very fascinating to me. It's almost as if she was their rural-poor white woman sacrifice to the racial justice gods. I'm reminded of one of Alison Murphy's emails to Sonya in which she sheepishly admitted the campaign against Dawn is her worst nightmare. She pledged to stay on guard to make sure she never becomes (or is found out to be) an entitled White Savior or literary Karen, LOL. Except, this framing of Dawn was manufactured to obfuscate a clear case of plagiarism and, in my opinion, Sonya's envy of Dawn's superior writerly talent and skill. There was so much projection going on; the lack of self-awareness of these bullies is astounding.
