They do this b/c of what I call Medieval White Rage specifically citing Carol Anderson's excellent book. It's a version of white grievance & white rage over the idea that they think they are being "replaced" in the field. It's an extreme version of what we see happening 15/

They do this to silence you b/c MRO & I have said 1. medieval studies is a white supremacist field & it is bad to have fascists & fascist supporters in the field & 2. CRT is a thing & racism is a problem. They want ppl to complain to our places of employment to "cancel us" 17/pic.twitter.com/1MvpJadYkl

They also like to do the BIG LIE about how no one has actually sent us violent threats/harassed us even when it's everywhere on public social media & RFB has stalked me at conferences. For instance, Dan Franke wrote this for

shown. "Big Lie"/CONSPIRACY WTF is they are frothing the base to go & continue to attack targets relentlessly. For RFB & Milo it was about the public right coming for me. For medieval 4chan, it's about the scholarly & connected ecosystem coming for us. 20/

Medieval Studies "Big Lie" also express differently for me & MRO b/c of our specific situatedness. Intersectionality explains a lot. MRO is attacked as an "angry black woman," full-blown misogynoir tropes--"violent, angry, scary." Read Moya Bailey's work on "misogynoir." 21/

It's a version of how Black women are attacked publicly & the consequences. Discussions of the intersection of Blackness & gender online start w/ the genesis of the early tryouts of how Milo & far right attacked in c. 2013 here before Gxmxrgate 22/:https://slate.com/technology/2019/04/black-feminists-alt-right-twitter-gamergate.html …

As an Asian Woman, look at Anne Cheng's Ornamentalism. So yes, here's a lesson on gendered, racial digital biopolitics that links to Atlanta & how Asian women are violently attacked & their tropes. It's about making us objects of sexualized violence. 23/https://global.oup.com/academic/product/ornamentalism-9780190604615?cc=us&lang=en& …

The bulk of my threats begin as rape threats & then move to other violent & death threats. To have
@AHAhistorians platform the BIG LIE that I never get violent threats is them supporting violent, racist, anti-Asian rape culture. The BIG LIE always generates more attacks. 24/1 reply 1 retweet 5 likesShow this thread

RFB has also cozied up to other violent fascists who are attacking MRO. MRO has dealt w/ a host of WS & fascists in the UK b/c she has been vocal about "Anglo-Saxon" as a WS term & history. Google. Survive the Jive. 25/https://twitter.com/erik_kaars/status/1201522014261010432?lang=en …
