What seems to be new is that people (more people than the usual) are agreeing it's a problem and telling him to stop. At least I think we're talking about the same thing... if so, that new aspect is positive.

I would agree with this, and I have absolutely no problem with people directly addressing the offender. I think I am a bit salty myself from how many times I’ve seen it quote tweeted and showing up in my feed

I mean fair enough. Who wants to see slurs. I personally agree with
@bradpwyble in a side-thread that there is also a very disappointing negative side to the same issue too.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Also to be clear: I am sorry because I must have made that slur appear on people's TLs by RTing and interacting with the discussion around it. I hate that slur (& all slurs ofc) — it's weaponised against so many people including some of the absolutely most vulnerable in society.

But I did it because I think it's important to show this to those who behave as if such things don't happen, which is the point made here too:https://twitter.com/priyasilverst/status/1148982397624553472 …

This is honestly a good point that I had not thought that much about, and in this context I tend to agree with you. Although many of us are well aware, raising awareness is necessary.

1. I think many of us are aware but many also aren’t which is an argument against the need for the kind of discussion we ran anyway; 2. Re putting the slur on people’s timelines I’m really sorry and will be more careful next time; 1/

3. Re not speaking up for years, I use twitter a lot more than I used to and can honestly say if I’d come across something like this I always would’ve said something, it’s just a lot harder to miss a tweet when people alert you because the original one was about your discussion

Yeah, I mean please let's not forget that this was a verbal "argument"/abuse against Priya herself as well as others. She's a student who organised a workshop on diversity and a guy tweeted she's a you-know-what for doing that. Many in her position would feel very unsafe.

Welp. Just checked the quoted material and the full context, and I had not even seen the stuff that had come after the initial thread and slur, so yeah, this adds another layer to it. Those dynamics certainly justify the quote tweet

LMAO he's priming you with "Welp"!
Sorry just needed to crack a joke because it's so upsetting.

People who say "don't feed the trolls" (nobody in this thread AFAIK, but I have seen it!) miss the bigger picture here. This isn't some random troll trying to pick a fight. It's an active member of the group of people who seem to be in open science psychology twitter world.
