I seriously need that clapping Citizen Kane gif but in the meantime this'll have to do:

FWIW, thank you for educating me. This comment really made me think.

Wow, no wonder they deleted that reply. Sounds like it was a real humdinger.

soleiltropiques January 31 2014, 02:19:03 UTC

Yeah, I don't know...

I think I'd be a 'radical' too if I was trying to have a discussion with a brick wall.

Please tell me that gif is a glitch, because HOW AND WHY

I've seen someone do it. I have no clue what kind of wizardry they do but they hack the fuck out of the game. They were playing as the Infected and put dozens of Witches in the goddamn SAFE ROOM.

I wasn't sure what "karnythia" is, never heard of that before. And maybe "none of us are condoning it," but that's sort of the point about what I'm writing - the isolating effects of group think and how that stifles actual dialogue.

...Did you even read the article? It talks about her at length.

I think you would have to already know who she is to know that though. The article itself never, that I can see, refers to her username "Karnythia".

Not that knowing who she is or not changes the ability to know the article is bullshit.

I was familiar with karnythia but didn't know her real name until now.

You know, "isolating people, stifling discussion and promoting group think and mob justice" is not a new thing in feminist activism. Why did you think Womanism was created? Or the Lavendar Menace? (and countless other examples, but those two have the best name recognition)

What's new is that the leveling abilities of the internet are now making it easier for voices other than the chorus of middle-class straight white women to be heard, sometimes.
