This tweet is EMBARRASSING. Sullivan is OBSESSED with presenting a bad-faith reading of Sarah's tweets as something that his very intelligent mind KNOWS is not the case.https://twitter.com/sullydish/status/1025522069201711104 …

its not a "blind spot." this is who he is at his core.
-
I mean, we can quibble over language, but, like, it can be a big blind spot, and it can be "who he is at his core." But, he also, at his core, did important things that mattered, for me and many thousands of others, at a key point in history.
-
yeah and he said my people are genetically inferior and called people like me traitors so maybe i dont think its so casual.
-
I don't think it's "casual," and nowhere did I say that it was.
-
We can all do better, and that includes me. That's all I got, Oliver. I'm trying.
-
Your complicity in his behavior is very telling
-
The idea of not speaking out today in some way was troubling to me, for that very reason, so I did so. I'm not perfect, I know I was less perfect when I was younger, but I'm always trying.

I'm not a gay man but I can support gay men. It's called empathy.
-
Yes, many people can. The fact that he can't or won't is the issue, and that's what I wrote. That is my exact point.

What if it's not a blind spot and he knows what he's doing
-
I've tried to respond to that concept in other threads on this. I dunno, really. Like, I've seen his intelligence at work elsewhere, and I am the type of person who believes we can always improve ourselves and open our minds, so, I guess it's just hope.
-
Just as a thought experiment. What if it was intentional. Would he do everything he's doing?

He doesn't deserve your generosity, here. He's crossed the line to enabling obsessive GamerGaters to attack Sarah. He's no better than the troll he quotes here.

Thanks for speaking out like this. The world could use more peer-criticism of this variety.

I find this or a similar blind spot crops up for many writers but a lot of them choose to go there anyway and it’s always unfortunate
