See, i think that's oversimplifying, and that the backlash was *already happening*, but. We're not gonna agree, probably.

it is oversimplifying, sure, it's a tweet. and the backlash is always happening. but leaning into it didn't have to happen.

what i don't get is that there are a million things which are Not To Be Said so as to protect vulnerable people

but protecting vulnerable people by acquiring and maintaining political power is never worth leaving anything unsaid

It's an excellent point, although i do think the Don't Say It In Public line is much much stricter for celebs than normal folks.

Ultimately, it's not possible to coddle bigots enough that they won't be bigots anymore, so not saying certain things in public is at best
