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.

    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!

    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.
