Honestly what she is describing sounds like an actual problem. If you think her videos suck or whatever then that's fair, but she's describing people making shit up about her, contacting anyone who employs her to try and get her fired, trying to isolate her and also fire anyone who associates with her. Like this is some psycho cult shit.

The fact that they want to take down Jenny Nicholson who very closely curates what she says and holds her private life very private (Kiwi Farms can't find shit about her that's how thorough she is) for fake tweets was pretty telling of these people's mental state.

I remember a tweet of Jenny's a while back that had a picture of her car for whatever reason. The windows looked super weird and it took me a while to realize that she had put of filter over them AND the reflections on the car because people like the KF assholes would be deranged enough to use those reflections to find that location. I can't even imagine having to be that careful.

She's right to do that, the general vibe of the Kiwi Farms is deeply unsettling and obsessive behaviors by people who are genuinely living examples of a hate-based parasocial relationship.

i'm not watching this and I don't care one bit about lindsay ellis, but you have to be an extremely bad faith actor imo to view her tweet as racist. Anyways this is proving once more you should never apologize for drama that twitter stirs up because it never offers anything of value. Also delete twitter because it's a garbage website.

They can't cancel you if you don't let them!

[-] joseph@hexbear.net 1 points 5 years ago

Honestly, I'd even go as far to say she hasn't been canceled at all. This video got 400k views in 4 hours, she clearly still has a platform - it's not like canceling has denied her access to making thinkpieces on youtube and I'm pretty sure she still has a NYT bestselling book and tons of patreon supporters. IMO complaining about "cancel culture" when you can still influence hundreds of thousands of people with a click is just a waste of time.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
