Alt-medievalists using a facebook group to post blog posts that demean and smear a Black scholar in the field, who post lies and misinfo and never retract their bullshit statements, hmm what does this remind me of?pic.twitter.com/o8lCiAznWF
These misinfo campaigns are so harmful to BIPOC and other marginalised scholars and yet the people who do this shit think they are somehow antifascist and also they are victims.

None of them care for the truth. They want to lie so that the narrative continues and BIPOC scholars' reputations suffer because of it, but not just that, they are then put at literal risk from white supremacists.

I cannot express how appalled I am at the behaviour I have seen from these people, but knowing also that this is not the first time people in this group have doxxed and put BIPOC scholars in harms way...I am not surprised.

What is also appalling is the fact that I see people framing this like it's somehow an academic debate that got out of hand and not a racist attack. Or people see this and say nothing.
