Sexist behavior from @sapinker continues. #protestNIPS was a catalyst in positive change at #neurips This year @celestekidd got a standing ovation after sharing her #MeToo
experience and guiding the men to be allies. Amazing change from TITS parties and misogynistic rappers https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1209171768788869120 …

Sadly Scott Aaronson closed his thread and didn't even let me address. Very definition of silencing. He equates struggles of women and minorities to aspbergery males! The tone deaf nature of his comments is truly disappointing. He squandered a valuable opportunity to be an ally.pic.twitter.com/XkZtm2f6nN

Scott Aaronson's comments further reveal his biases. His blind admiration of Pinker is sad for someone who claims to be a scientist and open minded. Sexism and racism is never experienced from someone with privilege. And comparing Pinker to Marie Curie (barf!)pic.twitter.com/x2BpiNy9y3

Read my latest blog post detailing recent events around naming of
#quantumsupremacy and parallels it shares with#neurips name change. Also cluelessness of privileged men like@sapinker and Aaronson https://anima-ai.org/2019/12/26/quantum-supremacy-the-neo-nazis/ … Happy holidays!pic.twitter.com/LsV16r7qd1

When original title made multiple uncomfortable, I changed it. Unlike Aaronson and
@sapinker I am open to changes that create a better environment! Names are powerful. People are quick to call out my usage of neo-Nazis but turn a blind eye to NIPS/Supremacy issuesShow this thread -
Aaronson had to get to last slide on
#neurips name change http://tensorlab.cms.caltech.edu/users/anima/slides/CRACT-2018.pdf … to know about@sapinker stance. Talk about cognitive bias to ignore mountain of evidence and to feature only@sapinker@celestekidd would have some thoughts on this.Show this thread

Right?!! He prob thinks SEO doesn’t come with the burden of having to admit there’s a problem with the community. Frames it as outside the community. How dare anyone be accused of being sexist when there’s all this evidence
Scientists are supposed to consider evidence. Geez

Reading through the thread and this post particularly, it feels like you are shaming Scot Aaronson without much substance. It looks like he doesn't agree with you, which is a far cry from being toxic or misogynistic

I think you hold a lot of power and prestige and that using it in this way pushes people away. I don't have much to lose if you shame me publicly, but how many people do and thus choose to be silent out of fear ?
