Regulate the internet. Be Kind.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe Defamation laws are really based on a world of print journalism. The idea also was pre-Internet. Nobody conceived decades ago that a lie could just manifest on a daily basis through “the internet”.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe This is why I say “the internet has to be regulated” because disinformation flows wildly and openly. Slander, defamation and disrespect are commonplace. Nobody is trying to reign this behavior in, at all.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe Ms Bogado failed to even google my screen name “Guajolote”. There’s an entire story as to why I adopted that name. It’s Mexican in orgin. It is defined as “a Mexican Aztec wild turkey”. I got this nickname by Mexican Americans BECAUSE of my advocacy work.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe The Momofuku workers are PREDOMINANTLY Asian and Latino. So you want to believe: a racist watches an Asian Am show BEEF. A racist represents Hispanics and Black women in court. A racist also fights for POC workers rights? All based on a email Bogado made up?

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe Your angle is, a white man will apologize for a rapist’s behavior cuz he’s white. Well, I’ve been raped myself. My entire issue was Ms Bogado was irresponsible going after momofuku workers BECAUSE she wanted to damage David Choe. That meant ruining the lives of workers.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe What amazes me about twitter warriors is they don’t do basic research. So much of my advocacy work is easily found on the internet - even my work with Korean organizations. So why YOU jumped when a woman made up some email I never wrote is something you should think about.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe I also represented people in a tenant advocacy lawsuit which were literally all West Indian and Haitian immigrants who were being taken advantage of. I did this as a non lawyer because I knew it was RIGHT.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe Yes. I stand by this. Why? Because people don’t do their research and rush for mob mentality. I spend 6 yrs in state & federal court working for workers rights which is EASILY accessible on the internet but none of the mob even researched that. None of you.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe So what makes more sense to YOU? Someone who fought for food service workers’ right who spent time in courts, or a writer deciding I must be racist against Latinos because I watch Asian American shows and I bond with Asian alleged rapists? Like - do some basic research.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe The FACT is, I took issue with Bogado wanting to cancel FOOD SERVICE WORKERS because SHE had issue with David Choe. So she wanted retaliation against MOMOFUKU restaurants. I didn’t think it was fair to attack restaurant workers because of Choe’s “alleged” actions.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe The other aspect of how moronic this story is against me, is Ms Bogado wants u to believe a racist would watch an Asian American tv show, defend an actor, because he’s also racist? None of this makes sense. None of it.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe The concept Ms Bogado wants you to believe, is somehow I live in CA and have issue with Hispanics working in CA offices. Yet I spent years of my life working on their legal rights if you ACTUALLY researched me?

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe 2nd - I waited to see if anyone ACTUALLY researched me, which they didn’t. I spent 6 years of my life representing predominantly Latino food service workers in state and federal courts in NY

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@wagatwe So crazy this still comes up. First, Miss Bogado made everything up because I had contacted her employer. A little about ME. I used the SN “Guajolote” because that was my nickname at work by Hispanics, because they were my friends and I fought for their rights.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

I admire these artists who stand by each other rather than cower to a feeding frenzy created by Aura Bogado who has thrown journalism out the window for a continuous onslaught of clickbait for self promotion. Oh - and she fabricated emails I never wrote. https://t.co/UWHxFtDgQY

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@katxmoon Kat - that writer Aura Bogado is obsessed. I would like you to look at her feed. She is going after Asians. She has an issue. She’s going after any business or creative team that has ever worked with Choe because she is 100% convinced he rapes.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@MediumSizeMeech Dear Meech, I’ll be speaking to a lawyer about your tweets on Monday. What do you think your job as a journalist entails? Perhaps contact Vulture legal counsel.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@MediumSizeMeech look at who I follow that you follow. Do you really think people who wrote the email Bogado is professing would have the same interests as you? The easiest thing for Bogado to do is to post the email address. She refuses. Why? It doesn’t exist.

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@MediumSizeMeech this is how you research someone: https://t.co/oI1Jaq4BUq

[D @DanielBYahraes]

@MediumSizeMeech sir, you are not a journalist. A journalist would have researched me. What you have done is what Trump supporters like Fox News have: enabled lies. Piling on a threat when Aura Bogado created a fake email is doubling down on the lie.
