hi I wrote about Chappell Roan, public orgies of misogyny, and the trap of ignoring ‘celebrity news’ when misogynist harassment campaigns affect all women. None of the outrage slop we’ve seen is about Chappell's behavior—misogynists are justifying what they already wanted to do
Re: co-opting the language of social justice/feminism to frame harassing and smearing Chappell as some noble pursuit, ie the rumor that she's "rich" and a "Republican" to supposedly justify extreme online abuse:
Again: the harassment campaign against Chappell Roan is not about her actual behavior—it's about people wanting to participate in orgies of misogyny while still trying to convince themselves they're not misogynists, and picking at straws/making things up to justify this
