Replying to @JesseThorn
Thank you for popping the absurd ego bubble of the British Guardian media clique with some very simple questioning on Webb's views that he is so unaccustomed to receiving in the UK that he immediately throws his toys out of the pram.

Replying to @TheKafkaDude @JesseThorn
Do you think children's charities should be beyond criticism? RW mentioned Oxfam, do you think it's wrong of papers to report about latest claims?As RW said here does that mean they hate the people Oxfam helps? He was ambushed, why wouldn't he be reserved about being questioned?

But this is a lie The article he shared in 2018 and the comments he made in 2018 - and has repeated sporadically since - are NOT specifically about Mermaids mishandling funds or engaging in individual misconduct or whatever They are against Mermaids' core goal

Thorn was much more polite than he needed tú be about this - Webb was dodging to avoid being held to account for a position he obviously holds He said in so many words he was a "gender-critical feminist" and tried to pretend this has nothing to do with Thorn or his daughter

Hey, you know what, sometimes if someone yells out an insult to a large group of people on Twitter, they end up being surprised by random people they know being in that group and trapped in awkward situations That's what happens when you're an asshole in public

The idea that Jesse Thorn was obligated to give some kind of fair warning here, that he's acting out of turn "Hey pal before we start the interview I think you should know, I may not look it, but I'm Asian"

"So when you called for Asians to be thrown out of the country, that made me mad, and you should expect things to get a little heated" Fuck's sake Like Robert Webb is so fucking important he needs his feelings coddled and his image protected at all times by everyone

A "safe space", if you will Come on Maybe if you're a grownup celebrity working in the media you should expect that when you publicly and angrily slag off trans people and their allies you might have to spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder for them
