and the virgil metoo is in
When I was a teenager, I thought Virgil Texas was very funny. I asked him to proofread an essay I submitted to a website, and emailed it to him. The essay was about turning 16. We talked a little bit, and I thought he was very cool because he was funny and he lived in NY.— Jennifer Seberg (@JenniferSeberg) June 9, 2021

at the time i thought it was edgelording because he is a nerdy bespectacled guy who "looks like a paedo"

sexual abuse and exploitation of teenagers by adults is basically mainstream

Or I should say: I guess he’s bi?

I don't think sexuality as such necessarily has much to do with whether you are a person who will be abusive to a teenage fan who sends you an email

"this culture" i meant the whole edgy dirtbag vice adjacent thing in this instance but yes it's just patriarchy

massive fuck you to everyone who so confidently asserted that the “allegations against” taibbi had been “debunked”. this is how you reproduce rape culture
Bringing on Matt Taibbi for an episode of your show with Virgil Texas is maybe not the best timing right now. https://t.co/JSSQxLZLPu— Syndicalist Weedle Collective (@Weedledouble) June 10, 2021

how come i knew about this over a year before she came forward? honestly i don’t remember where i heard it but it has been out there for some time. why does it need to come to this every fucking time?

now chapo stans and the crypto fascists in their orbit have been harassing her on social media to no one’s surprise. this could have been avoided
― Left, Thursday, 10 June 2021 21:31 (two years ago) link
The fact that she was scared of being accused of being a pro-Trumper and that it delayed her coming forward is unbelievable, and a major illustration of the toxicity of that milieux. I hope she finds peace.

why do the people directly affected keep having to put themselves in the firing line like this so that if they’re lucky a few more people might now take seriously what is already widely known?

there's nothing special going on here AFAICT in terms of toxicity, patriarchal abuses of power, and online stan culture, except that it stands out more when it appears to be in conflict with stated politics

what are you talking about ?
Expressing sadness that women are coerced into shutting up about sexual abuse because of toxic twitter culture is a victory dance? This is a weird thing to say.
