      Here's something I've wanted to say for a long time: the leftist taboo against engaging with the problematic world beyond the cloister is a form of collectively enforced wing-clipping.

      It's a self-destructive meme that guarantees our ideas will never spread, will never succeed.

      Last year, @PennyRed—one of the best feminist writers of our time—wrote an incredible, revealing piece about Milo Yiannopoulos. In order to do research for the piece she had to go on tour with Milo—a Nazi!!

      She hung out with him on his tour bus, she sat next to him while they drove around in a limo, she went to his parties where she chit chatted with people like Geert Wilders and Roosh V.

      This is called journalism. If you're going to cover a topic, you have to get well acquainted with that topic. This involves getting your hands dirty. And the result in Laurie Penny's case was the most sparkling, devastating piece on Milo ever produced.

      But many people on feminist/leftist Twitter were ready disown her in an instant over this. They were ready to excommunicate one of their best writers simply because she ventured too far into enemy territory.

      This is so much worse than useless. You're sitting atop your cloister tower, lobbing rocks at your own best advocates, people on the front lines doing the difficult work of studying and engaging with society at large.

      I'm not saying my work is as important as Laurie Penny's, or that I am the most important person involved in this conversation by any means. My work is mostly limited to the weird little world of YouTube—or at least it was until I got some mainstream press coverage yesterday.

          But if you're someone who's going to disown me over engaging with problematic people or debating with "the enemy," I do not need you around. Please unfollow me now. I solemnly swear I will never stop disappointing you.

          you made nice with and legitimised a reparative therapy advocate for that publicity, he's already using the profile to undermine his critics

          your work is more important than Laurie Penny's tbh. and it will always disappoint to see people I respect collaborate with people I revile.

          I agree with what you say about Laurie Penny TBH but she also didn't drag Milo into people's timelines. I think that's an important diff
