I'm glad Olivia Munn has moved on from being the kind of person who bragged about sleeping with men of different races so she could have the right to make racist jokes. It would be terrible for her to tear other people down like that.

Let me be clear on a few things:

Olivia Munn got a lot of undeserved flack over the years from men & women alike for her persona & work.
Olivia Munn spent a lot of time telling super dark punching-down jokes that benefitted said persona.
Olivia Munn is wrong about the Fug Girls.

And I am glad she's moved on from being the Cool Girl who dons the mantle of hipster racism to please men in power. She's a much better actress & celeb presence for it. But it is not any blogger or journalists' job to be her PR wing or for her to wield her power unfairly.

I'm not sure why we've all gone sideways this week with the "meanie critics versus poor disempowered celebrities" angle that diminishes our dang jobs. It's boring at best & outright dangerous for the mostly women put in the crossfires by those who should know better.

Don't think I don't fucking see the threats of violence being directed at these women critics and bloggers. Don't think I don't see it all the damn time for the most pointless of issues, wielded as an excuse to get us to shut up. Don't think we don't know what that means.
