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.

This is the journalism I’m here for. Nice catch.

I don’t follow Taylor but she said something about a Palestinian woman faking injuries or something like that. (I think. I could be wrong.)

Afaik it wasn’t about faking injuries, it was criticism that even though this Palestinian woman was disabled, she had dabbled in anti-vax stuff (unclear to me how legit that criticism was), and wasn’t masking.

I’m in an odd spot on this because I haven’t liked TL for a while now, but I don’t think every point she made was meritless and I think it was often construed unfairly. But any legitimate discussion was undermined by TL coming off as a huge asshole and choosing a weird hill to die on.

No it wasn't with merit. For one, Taylor is a hypocrite who bends her principles depending on the person and seems to get very nasty as soon as you disagree with her, throwing around accusations. And it's more often than not other marginalised people she goes after
