Just too much! It's like twirling mustaches time.

After claiming victimization for herself, this idiot is now hitting up the POC fans she insulted to work on her e-zine! Un-fucking-believable! This is an over the top display of privilege and if you want to know what racism looks like, that is it.

If you need some background on what this has come out of, see rydra_wong's LJ for a collection of links, starting here and here.

I do think Avalon's Willow deserves an apology, from both [info]matociquala and [info]truepenny, too -- Bear not so much for anything she said, I don't think, altho I do think [info]truepenny should apologize specifically for the stuff she said about "short-circuiting" and so on, which was awful; not that it's really at all the same thing, but when I was in marital counseling, one thing we learned was that an apology helps the most if it's really specific. That helps the injured person feel visible, like their problems are real and matter, and that the specific problem is being addressed. Just a totally blanket "I have done my part to make this discussion a clusterfuck, and I am sorry" doesn't really....help. That's like, I guess, "I am sorry your foot got stepped on" or, worse, "I am sorry I did my part to ensure your foot got stepped on." Not good.

FYI, that apology will happen 2 weeks after never. Pretty awesome eh?

It's not all about me = It's all about my unique history of trauma and my sensitive writing that will save the world in my unique White 1/4-Cherokee-Princess-and-3/4-small-village-on-the-border-of-5 -Eastern-European-nations Grrl way, so stop getting in my face with your bleeding all over the floor!
