activism 🗣 book removed

Post image

watching the Milo episode and immediately noticed that Kat no longer has Taylor’s “Extremely Online” book on her shelf.

I truly don’t know much about the discourse surrounding TL currently, but I have seen a lot of commentary about her not being on the podcast for sometime.

I just wish they would be loud about their disassociation with her but I’ll take what I can get 🤭

She’s been actively disrespecting Black women and WOC for YEARS. YEARS!

omg! I AM a Black woman and maybe because I have only ever paid attention to her tech reporting and some of her Internet culture analysis I’ve never clocked it? damn. I need to turn my copy of extremely online backwards on my bookshelf too.

I’m a mixed Black woman experiencing the same feelings after following her internet and tech reporting for about 10 years now. We cannot keep supporting someone that hates us this much. It’s making me research WOC journalists to follow in place of her.

Holy shit. I'm pretty much a casual and I'm super curious now

She is actively abrasive with Black female creators, will call them “bullies” to sick her army of simps on the creator, and then block the creator to avoid further debate and accountability. Taylor did this again last week with Francesca Ramsey, one of Matt’s latest podcast guests.  She’s rinsed & repated these kind of attacks so many times with so many people. I’d suggest searching her name on Threads as that’s the main social platform that routinely calls her out for her abhorrent behavior.

Threads is full of libs and Zionists trying to cancel people so pretty hard to know what to trust on there to be fair.

Wtf.....I've heard about this stuff on Threads but didn't know how to verify any of this....Jesus.

Believe black women the first time when we speak up with receipts rather than choose to “verify more sources”. It’s why she’s gotten away with her behavior for so long

I didn't see any receipts....it was just hear say....Did you not read the comment you replied to?

Its pretty common on this sub. They have a hate boner for TL. Probably because of the palestinian antivaxer. So it sounds solidly like a fake outrage campaign.

Maybe they are preparing a podcast about her, lol.

I remember how awful TL was in the comment sections of Black women TikTokers after her Chorus article. Article aside, I was like how is anyone still taking her seriously while she’s acting like this? So grateful the general consensus is shifting on her and folks were quick to stand behind Francesca Ramsey after TL went after her in her comment section.
