The criticism of Bruenig at the same was mostly along the lines of "she called trans allies pedophiles, classic dogwhistle, mask off moment," but in hindsight she appears to be aiming her insult more precisely at the communications director of a literal pedophile cabal

e: Kind of ironic that the guy nominally defending the bodily autonomy of 12-year-olds was the one posting a dogwhistle, whereas Bruenig posted a direct insult that all her critics understood immediately and yet construed as a dogwhistle.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/27/style/modern-love-temporary-marriage-at-13.html

It's some kind of Muslim custom where a temporary marriage (religious ceremony only, not legal) allows her daughter's boyfriend's super strict, conservative parents to not flip their poo poo that he has a girlfriend.

Shias only, and yeah Mutah is I believe allowed by Twelver Shias. It’s a halal way to date.

Berlatsky and Bruenig both write for The Atlantic and wrote for WaPo. Bruenig just had a pretty long and prolific stint at the NYT. It's not weird for people itt to know who they are or be interested in their beef

and as people have pointed out this isn't remotely Berlatsky's first rodeo as Twitter Person of The Day, and he's spent the rest of his time spewing some of the most rancid shitlib takes imaginable, so even if you're unfamiliar with his professional work it's unsurprising he'd get a lot of "oh that fucker again" recognition

Noah Berlatsky was for years one of the biggest voices of the "as a left winger, I believe Bernie must drop out now" type of warrenite journalism.

If you don't remember him he is the "Bernie attacking elites helps the wealthy" guy. Also the "Bernie's anti political correctness makes him like trump" guy.

If you've read the succ zone at all, he isn't quite at Sally Albright's level, but he is probably an Al Giordano level of horse shoe theory enthusiast.

what i think is going on is that you don't like bruenig and are grasping at straws to poo poo on someone who does
the main piece of evidence is that you're calling someone writing 2 or 3 lines about nyt's columnists in the "let's poo poo on nyt (and other print media)" thread a weirdo and "invested"
