Okay dear friends, it is 4:30 am and I'm sad. I read a sad story, its sad explanation and some very sad reactions. That's right, I went down the "Cat Person" rabbit hole. Follow this thread for my upsetting analysis

The story overall is representative of the matured and refined New Yorker and other non-shit media - it is no longer blatant and wrong like the 2015 SWJ period, it is aware that the SJW agenda can be far-fetched and rectifies that. But there is still some way to go.

Kristen's story is touching and important, but the way it is handled just plays into the circular causality of identity politics and regressive liberalism we've been trying to talk sense into since the 2014 boom. There is still a long way to go.

#JusticeForRobert but I won't applaud it either. I'm intently waiting for Kristen's next story. Holy shit it's 5 am why am I like this END OF THREADShow this thread
