@chrisgeidner I like that world too! We've debated this before. What I mind is the creeping demand for conformity in what people can say. -
@jonlovett You say "creeping demand for conformity," I say "voices shut out previously finding their way into the conversation." -

@chrisgeidner@jonlovett A woman calling for gender equality and a guy comforting depressed kids are not enemies, imperfect speeches or not -
@jordanzakarin@jonlovett I didn't say "enemies," nor did Ira, so, while responding to someone, this is not responding to me. -
@chrisgeidner@jonlovett I wasn't referring to Ira's piece alone, more outrage culture generally (though he did slam the guy pretty hard) - 1 more reply

@chrisgeidner@jonlovett The words are almost incidental to the analysis, which often picks apart diction and misses the bigger picture -
@jordanzakarin@jonlovett Well, I think this is a piece that was looking, very explicitly, at the bigger picture. -
@chrisgeidner@jonlovett I thought that movie was very flawed and neutered. That’s a separate issue from a speech that had good intentions -
@chrisgeidner@jonlovett And as for Arquette, I’m sure she misspoke. The infighting seems like a waste of really smart peoples’ time -
@chrisgeidner@jonlovett Maybe I just give Arquette the benefit of the doubt for her activism, and weary of the internet’s outrage culture
