I *do not want* to be responsible for your emotional health and your brain development and so on and so forth to any greater degree than I am any other random stranger This is why I do not have kids If I have to be "responsible" for you to interact with you I'm not interacting

I don't even have any opinion on whether teens are generally worse at interacting online than adults, I suspect they probably aren't, but I'm just not going to be a party to any double standard about this shit

Like if you can't be held responsible to the standard of acting like an adult when reacting to something I wrote then you don't have my permission to read it in the first place

Like, just to reiterate, what happened in this situation is someone called for a public crusade to deplatform somebody because they wildly misinterpreted something they wrote, in a very obvious way And then it went viral among their shitty friends and turned into a dogpile

There is no fucking circumstance under which it is appropriate to shame someone for their reaction to being threatened with rape and murder and say they're "partially responsible" for anything the person who threatened them did next

Yes The dogpile was based on the premise that she was "partially responsible" for the shooting That was very obviously the impetus for the sheer scope of the reaction -- "blood on her hands" -- and I'm not here for the "Okay but it was also an offensive tweet anyway" retcon

The tweet was deleted shortly, and the response to the tweet being deleted was "She's erasing evidence of her complicity!", when if the issue was just that the tweet itself was offensive that should've been the end of it

So yeah no I'm not going to sit back and accept that what happened to her was at all okay, or accept a framing that this is about "protecting white women" like she wasn't personally threatened and put in fear by the shooter

It's interesting how you see this issue as a retcon given that Jwitter has known about that thread for a couple of years now & knew it was problematic. Also, deleting the tweet is nice & all (albeit belated) but it doesn't end the antisemitic harassment of Jews by her fans.

But, less interesting & more disconcerting is the overwhelming focus on her personal suffering for antifascist work she undertakes voluntarily as compared to the trauma of Jewish people at being oppressed & murdered.
