@finitor the cringing is independent of the authorial intent (which I agree is not in any way pro-Leap, but it’s not pure satire either). -
@avibryant@finitor i’m surprised: doesn't context make it clear that it’s characterizing a ignorant, privileged mindset? (I edited it) -

@avibryant@finitor PS Lauren left a note on the line to clarify. It's not quite Jonathan Swift, but I do hope sarcasm can include subtlety.

@avibryant@sarahjeong I just actually shrieked with rage reading that -
@lizhenry@avibryant the guy who edited is claiming it's "clearly" satire in context. LOL NAH -
@sarahjeong@avibryant I don't think so, since I see how people act to me every damn day! -
@lizhenry@avibryant the piece is there for everyone to read and there isn't a note of satire in that part -
@lizhenry@avibryant you just can't write a goddamn paragraph that puts a guy jacking off right next to people in wheelchairs -
@sarahjeong@avibryant We must think intersectionally -

@ScottyTonga @teenmom4evr@avibryant author seems to recognize the things she says are shameful but does so anyway. *Could* still be satire
