So ppl still friends w/ this alt-medieval lot & supporting them digitally & F2F & ppl who call out trying to out pseudonymous accts as VIOLENCE, Halsall was fine violently outing MRO's previous account even though he knew about her violent stalkers. 9/

I believe PH taped me at @IMC_Leeds in 2018 since he was at both my advertised sessions. Milo wrote a 13,000 hit piece on me (a bad diss. chapter on mysticism) & released the illegal tape of me & @prof_gabriele 10/ 
I wrote about all of that here in 2018. One of the points I made was how this WS medieval 4chan group basically uses the tactics of the far right--11/ insidehighered.com/views/2018/08/…
The playbook includes: 1. conspiracy theory lies; 2. doxxing & other kinds of digital stalking; 3. the immediate, oh I was joking, but it's fine that all this terrible violence is going her way; etc.The usual go-to conspiracy theory includes saying we HAVE NO SCHOLARSHIP 12/
As MRO has pointed out, they have done the "she has no scholarship", which is some extreme "Know Your Place Aggression" Misogynoir. They also did that to me in 2017 all b/c I refused to have my c.v. posted anywhere b/c why would I doxx myself & out my work w/ others? 13/
They continue this conspiracy theory BIG LIE even when they could do a google search or an MLA biblio. search to find our scholarship. In fact, I think @SLevelt did a tweet thread once to demonstrate how one could find my research work. 14/
They do this b/c of what I call Medieval White Rage specifically citing Carol Anderson's excellent book. It's a version of white grievance & white rage over the idea that they think they are being "replaced" in the field. It's an extreme version of what we see happening 15/
across disciplines & periods b/c in medieval studies, they are willing to go & encourage violence, etc. They stalk, tape, harass at conferences, they do it online. They digitally stalk you & what you are doing & now your family members. They complain to your institution. 16/
They do this to silence you b/c MRO & I have said 1. medieval studies is a white supremacist field & it is bad to have fascists & fascist supporters in the field & 2. CRT is a thing & racism is a problem. They want ppl to complain to our places of employment to "cancel us" 17/
They also like to do the BIG LIE about how no one has actually sent us violent threats/harassed us even when it's everywhere on public social media & RFB has stalked me at conferences. For instance, Dan Franke wrote this for @AHAhistorians. 18/ historians.org/publications-a…
He's in medieval studies 4chan but says he's not a WS, but sure, hang out with the known violent fascist medieval scholars. So a large scholarly org. let the BIG LIE that no one has sent me any violent threats just live on their website for years. As 4 yrs. of 45 should have 19/
shown. "Big Lie"/CONSPIRACY WTF is they are frothing the base to go & continue to attack targets relentlessly. For RFB & Milo it was about the public right coming for me. For medieval 4chan, it's about the scholarly & connected ecosystem coming for us. 20/
Medieval Studies "Big Lie" also express differently for me & MRO b/c of our specific situatedness. Intersectionality explains a lot. MRO is attacked as an "angry black woman," full-blown misogynoir tropes--"violent, angry, scary." Read Moya Bailey's work on "misogynoir." 21/
It's a version of how Black women are attacked publicly & the consequences. Discussions of the intersection of Blackness & gender online start w/ the genesis of the early tryouts of how Milo & far right attacked in c. 2013 here before Gxmxrgate 22/: slate.com/technology/201…
As an Asian Woman, look at Anne Cheng's Ornamentalism. So yes, here's a lesson on gendered, racial digital biopolitics that links to Atlanta & how Asian women are violently attacked & their tropes. It's about making us objects of sexualized violence. 23/ global.oup.com/academic/produ…
The bulk of my threats begin as rape threats & then move to other violent & death threats. To have @AHAhistorians platform the BIG LIE that I never get violent threats is them supporting violent, racist, anti-Asian rape culture. The BIG LIE always generates more attacks. 24/
RFB has also cozied up to other violent fascists who are attacking MRO. MRO has dealt w/ a host of WS & fascists in the UK b/c she has been vocal about "Anglo-Saxon" as a WS term & history. Google. Survive the Jive. 25/

I am out of tweets in this thread, so will come back in the afternoon to continue to Part II. I am laying this out now so people stop thinking this is just recent history. This has been ongoing since 2017, it has been YEARS of attacks, harassment, violence. 26/
