Also, fuck the sun. If a twitter pile-on is somehow a bad or wrong thing, then fuck that. I'm ok with being wrong in this case.
I think it's a mixed bag. Like I think in terms of the sun we've got a long track record of it being a cesspit that will exploit anything for money. I mostly started this thread to document these surges regardless of the moral standpoint involved. I think in the case of an organisation like the sun, a surge of people (especially name journalists/industry peers) tearing the narrative to shreds publicly is a great use of Twitter. Sometimes when the whole pile on campaign is focused on one person or one action of one person I think it's a little more medieval, a little more like some middle class version of a public stoning or the shame walk in game of thrones.
These people are fucking vipers. I'd say it's a really hard thing to go though, where they start bigging you up because you tweeted the right thing or had the correct opinion on teh mediaz at some point but then you make a mistake and they turn on you. I suppose we can just watch Simon Harris over the next few months to find out.
Glinner's lost the plot
YesIs it still the trans thing? Should I grab the popcorn and read it or just assume he's being a wanker and ignore.
I SAID VIPERS.A pro-choice vampire is still a vampire I suppose.
Does it all stem from that IT crowd episode?
I'll elaborate on the Glinner thing: he's hung up on some TERF women being physically attacked by trans women, which OK that's a thing, but he ignores the context of the provocation involved. It smacks of the bully who needles and needles their victim till they lash out and then the bully cries to the teacher.
