froma schmancy author's lj, for just not being able to stop myself asking snarky questions..

I expected it, though. she said she'd ban people if they kept bringing up what she didn't want to talk about. That's like daring me, anyway.

[livejournal.com profile] rydra_wong has got the definitive roundups. Yes, roundups. warning. This was a clusterfuck of truly gargantuan proportions.

Well, see, I had no clue that it would have dragged on so long. More fool me.

INORITE?

...The inability of people to understand that having said something racist is not a death-sentence and that an apology does not make one an evil person continues to baffle me.

I don't know what was more discouraging, the shocking levels of stupid or the volume of round up necessary. oh internets, why you gotta make me want to hurt people?

I just wish I could have asked it while she was still answering questions.

Also, I stole the question from someone else's post, because I felt it needed to be asked at the source.

Not all that hard to guess which one...sigh,,...friend's keep asking me to speak out as an ndn writer and I really want to even though I am so stressed out as it is right now...but I may have to say something before I explode. So much drama, so little energy for slapping the crap outta folks.

I suck at remembering names, so was going to go friend you because, wow, if you got banned, I wanted you on my flist, and voila! We already are friended!

I've been defriended by a few people in the wake of the recent wave of my posts, but have been friended by a *lot* more, so I figure--we're coming out ahead!

Is it just me, or has being criticized by POC but not actually taking them seriously and labelling them as bullies/babbling about orcing/etc., etc., etc suddenly become some sort of persecuted intellectual street cred?

It seems to be, yeah. "oh, I'm so hardcore in my academic anti-racism that even PoC don't GET my genius ass intellectual grasp of race!"

And yah, apparently even harmless clueless whitegirls like me are persecuting her.

I don't think I can stand to go over to her journal again right now to check, but didn't she previously say something about how she didn't call out her friends & supporters for being racist fucks b/c she doesn't censor discussion in her own journal?

Or am I confusing her w/someone else? Cuz if not, that is kinda hilarious.

Yes, she did. [livejournal.com profile] matociquala wrote in a comment:

Because in this blog, I make an attempt to allow even people I disagree with to comment, and I have done so since I started keeping it.
