Note: In the next few weeks I am going to follow some TERF/transphobe accounts. This is not because of any sympathy I have with them but merely part of research for a potential upcoming project. (Same reason I've always followed Alt-Right accounts.)

I am a satirist. In order to do that effectively I have to know what I'm satirizing. There would be no Abigail Cockbane without long conversations I've had with TERFs. There would be no Fritz without hours spent on Alt-Right message boards.

anyone who knows who I am knows what kind of content I produce. Who is going to look at my follows and conclude, "oh, I see she follows Richard Spencer, that must be because she endorses what he says"?

I mean, you're aware you can read what's on a person's timeline without following them, right? Given that Twitter no longer displays things in strict chronological order it's actually easier that way. I don't think you're doing anything wrong here, but this argument is weird.

This is one of the reasons people might assume a follow=endorsement. Following is unnecessary to see what most people are saying, so extra context is helpful. You're providing it, so that's great!

It's what journalists do, it's what politicians of all parties & persuasions do. That is, follow people or groups not because they endorse them, but in order to keep track of & be across developments within the field they are engaging with - often to better oppose their opponents
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
