1/ Ugh, this really annoys me. Bias-alert: I am a fan of @gogreen18's, so I'm not coming at this like a Perfectly Objective Observer (which isn't a thing anyway). But Laci got invited to go on a podcast hosted by Grace Helbig, who I hadn't heard of (I am old and out of the
2/ loop), but who is a big deal -- 1.4 million Twitter followers and 3M on YouTube! They had a light, peppy interview. After, the people who have dedicated the last many years to smearing Laci and making her life miserable, to the point where some

4/ this point -- these individuals, who are the dictionary definition of Too Online, are truly obsessed with the idea that Laci is a source of profound evil in the world. Rather than ignore them, Helbig *apologized* for having Laci on. This is really underhanded and cowardly, 
5/ and doesn't even make sense from a purely self-serving standpoint: Does Helbig want her potential guests to think that if 100 online idiots yell at her enough, she'll throw them under the bus? More broadly, it's a really bad sign that someone hosting a show as mainstream
6/ as this one feels like they had to apologize for having Laci on. If Laci freaking Green is now beyond the bounds of acceptable discussion on a show like Helbig's, something is really wrong. Hang in there, @gogreen18.
