Ellie may have been guilty to some degree of hyperbole in her criticism but her own critics were FAR MORE GUILTY She did not in fact say "You're not allowed to portray small towns without showing them to be fundamentalist fascist hellscapes"

I mean, i disagree here. She very definitely has said exactly that. Hell, i probably have at least one screencap of her saying that everyone who lives in rural America should be FORCIBLY RELOCATED TO A CITY.

Years later, yes. I think there's an important throughline though, which is that she is so angry about her personal small-town experiences that she cannot even tolerate the idea of them continuing to exist.

It's not just about that, it's not like small town *aesthetics* are a "trauma trigger" like she's upset about tractors and the smell of compost and shit It's some pretty fundamental stuff that people in our society don't question but is deeply fucked up

Don't remember those specific tweets about the subject but I remember that there were no-follower troll accounts trying to incite pile-ons of KF targets by messaging "she wants to reenact the Trail of Tears" and stuff to big accounts same as "Nymphomachy encourages suicide"

There's this rando who occasionally resurfaces to insist to everyone who follows me that I personally told him he deserves to be raped Much-exaggerating a general position I have that "fascists deserve all the suffering in the world"

There are people who have justified all kinds of shit they've done to me by saying that I'm a dangerous loose cannon who uses my social power to destroy people's lives I think they're wrong but also to be perfectly honest at this point I don't even care

Social media put loaded guns in all of our hands and we're all shooting them off randomly at all times I'm not going to unilaterally disarm and put my hands up and call for peace in the middle of a chaotic firefight

Even if it's "unfair" that I ended up in an elevated position with more ammo than the average tweeter due to completely random circumstances Fuck them, maybe they should be nicer to me then
