Truly it's awful that mobs are lynching white people for innocuous and innocent mistakes like saying Africans are riddled with AIDS.

ArbitraryC posted:This post sounds a bit tongue in cheek but it's a thing actual feminists acknowledge is a thing. I was seriously suggesting someone make a D&D thread about it, just because it'd be funny to see the usual crowd deny that it exists, or that if it does exist it's a problem, and also the OP is a libertarian neckbeard basement dwelling rapist, and then thread gets closed after two pages.

Maybe we should consider she wasn't fired for making a racist tweet but rather she was fired for incompetence because making a racist tweet public is a really bad thing for a PR employee to do

ArbitraryC posted:I think the criticism is more over whether doing this kind of thing accomplishes anything or whether it's just a feelgood circle jerk for one group of people at the expense of an individual. I don't think for the most part anyone believes making racist jokes under a twitter account tied to both your name and the company you work is a good idea. what exactly do you think happened to this woman

Nefarious posted:what exactly do you think happened to this woman ArbitraryC posted:A PR rep tweeted a racist joke about aids shortly before a flight to Africa. A concerned citizen alerted some of the bigger social media people about the tweet that maybe 10 people would have seen had everyone simply ignored it, and it blew up on twitter during her flight. She got fired and then harassed on the internet for some time afterwards. ArbitraryC posted:After shirtstorm a bunch of feminist journalists and such were also writing about how toxic and unproductive callout culture is so it's not like OP holds a weird view here. People piling on the girl in the OP weren't actually fighting racism, they were just enjoying a culturally acceptable punching bag. With respect to her getting fired I don't see a huge deal because what she said was unacceptable in a professional context and she was a PR person with her name and employer tied to her twitter account, but the people who harassed her over it were a pretty obvious example of the kind of people who just want to be a dick to someone using social justice as a convenient excuse.
