I'm sorry I'm still not over the massage parlor shootings. This guy explicitly targeted sex workers, both his stated motive and every piece of evidence points to this, yet the discourse is almost entirely about general anti-Asian hate crimes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings#Motive …

He had specifically posted anti Asian hate on his Facebook, which is why he the “media” was going after that. I assume He chose sex workers because they are vulnerable and for him more easy to be “disgusted with”. The discourse that ignores sex workers is dangerous. Yes.

did you not read the list of evidence that currently exists, that i linked to in the first tweet

I'm not actually afraid, because violence against sex workers is still pretty low. But violence against asians is even lower - the lowest out of all ethnicities in the US, afaik. If one of us was going to be afraid re: the shooting, it should be me.

Aella, you're respected and influential. Could you be the person who starts a "solidarity with sex workers" meme that spreads? I don't think it's that people don't care about sex workers, they just like signalling political awareness, and that's easier to do with race

(I mean, also some people don't care about sex workers. That is true. But I think it's mostly the signalling thing)

At this point it’s about narrative. If you control or flip the narrative it works in your favor. Though protection of everyone and including sex workers need to happen.

Totally agree.. This has been bothering me that media and politicians have hijacked this tragedy to push the racism narrative.

I disagree. He drove to two separate locations to kill Asians. He wanted to kill them because Asian girls made his peepee feel funny. It's possible to have sympathy for Asians and Sex Workers.
-
It's weird how there's this fierce disagreement over whether he was targeting asians or sex workers when "both" seems just as plausible as either.
