      1. To revisit the Cancel Culture Contrarian Pettifogger (CCCP) party line is that Atlanta shooting was motivated by anti-sex worker hatred not anti-Asian racism. I think that's a false binary. But let's stipulate arguendo that they are right. What are the policy implications?pic.twitter.com/OyOdnWCoh8

      2. If the problems is "really" anti-sex work animus then CCCP should take up sex work decriminalization, cultural normalization of sex work, elevation of sex worker voices, critique of evangelical purity culture & other religious traditions, critique of anti-trafficking movement

      3. The policy implication of CCCP line is clear & if they are serious about wanting to help sex workers they can take it up. Or is the main issue for them the clout they gain from anti-anti-racist line?

          What’s the policy implication if it’s the latter and not the former

          Maybe they're not after "clout." Maybe they're just trying to point out the facts

          The policy is accuracy. It is something people can actually care about and there are great advantages to caring about it. But maybe I am just saying that for enormouse clout this reply will get me.

          Get vaccinated. Against COVID & fascism. web rant Retweeted Jeet Heer

          It's kind of the same force that demands we prematurely reopen schools in a pandemic "for the children" while simultaneously denying any school funding for decades.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1374048286517067777?s=20 …

          You know the answer to that last question. You wouldn't be asking it if you didn't. It's always been a bad faith ploy for clout.

          They're Republicans. They're looking for analyses that suggest no policy at all. They figure the public would like to protect Asians and would not care about sex workers, so that works for them.

          Likewise, any pundit decrying "cancel culture" but not suggesting changes to at will employment in the U.S. probably doesn't actually care about the issue except as a ploy to keep the grift going.

          The Venn diagram for sex-work decriminalization and so-called “contrarians.” But one does not need to support that to oppose a race-based outrage against an apparently deranged shooting.
