This is how obsessed Arthur is. He's not tagged in, the tweet is nothing to do with him, but he found it. It's probably about 6am where he is. Not normal.pic.twitter.com/joRsAm33Ip

What I read from this is those words cut deep which was essentially the objective. To have your insults quoted seems to me high praise.
Yeah but the danger is always that it's used as ammunition for the performative whingeing about "harassment"
I suppose that must be right tactically speaking. It does seem to me though that some things are so appalling one has the right to express disgust at them.
Oh sure, and especially when it's almost poetic, as you do. It's hard, because these things do need reactions, they do need calling out and denouncing. And passion is warranted. But too much passion and we give them a stick to beat us with and/or get us booted. It's tricky.
Arthur Chu Retweeted
Purple prose hammering the same disturbing imagery again and again isn't "poetry" This would be embarrassingly bad writing -- on the level of Douglas Adams' classmate with the dead swan poem -- if it weren't creepy harassment of a specific individual https://twitter.com/graceelavery/status/1379950523739213827?s=20 …
Arthur Chu added,
Actually, the shock value is minimal when compared to some of the self-abortions methods used in the 1960’s. Women were desperate, and many died.
Cool If you think Grace's tweet somehow contained any of that imagery just by saying the word "abortion" in a lighthearted tone, and therefore merited this graphic, threatening response, you have serious problems
