I’m just gonna reiterate, because I did see the tweets: (1) it’s not new and (2) they’ve said worse and people were willing to ignore it bc pizzagate or something

I think that’s why I’m salty. People were talking about these issues years ago and were seen as a “distraction” or “trying to justify the old system” and made it clear it wasn’t even a secondary priority for most

I used to defend SIPS against these same criticisms a few years ago but having seen the same lack of a response for so long, I've become openly critical.

I havent been able to attend for the past couple years ($$), but what is the atmosphere of the conference like? the interim committee made diversity/inclusivity a priority when we were trying to shape the mission/identity of SIPS...1/2
-
but i know there hasnt been an official statement re: demonstrated toxicity. SIPS is v much a member-driven society, so i think public critique is important to reinforce society norms. i hope that ppl feel empowered to work on these issues at the conference & to keep speaking up!
