Sorry, but we don't do deferential epistemology. The complete erasure of the term as some sort of historic cuss word does not undo the horrors of *colonialism* and the alternatives suggested are so inadequate they are literally embarrassing.

I'm gonna go with "doesn't know any alternatives" for 400, Alex.

Yes. We don't know alternatives. And yours suck. Back to the drawing board. The minute someone has a better one we will fold it right in.

And you can't even defend why they "suck" but okay.

Well, they don't know them so they think being dismissive babies without proof is gonna hold water. Their friend literally said they hadn't read anything so these ppl are just embarrassing.

Is it possible for everyone to agree that Twitter is a really terrible forum for this? Can we write, like, essay-length blog posts or tumblr gif-posts or something?

I did the essay already and linked to it and other essays within it. I literally did the work for these lazy people and they couldn't even be bothered to read. So nah, it's not Twitter, it's ppl.

What I mean is this: okay, that essay. Good, thank you. They have their show, and have already said they will be addressing this in the future. Right now can everyone have a pause to consider where to go from here, individually each in their own minds?

Well no one is telling either one of them to keep responding? We're scholars and this is our lane, AND I don't appreciate wyte ppl telling me they are allies. That's revolting.

I am trying to message everyone here about it, because I’m in the thread too, and quite frankly responsible for it, so I want to conclude at least for the day so my phone stops exploding. It is the purpose of communication to share, but everyone’s talking past each other.

No one is talking past each other. WE are trying to give info on this, and our views, our work, our research that we have spent years on is being derided for the sake of a fucking podcast from people who aren't even medievalists.
