Someone gave an atypical and good talk at madmeta once about why things become less horrible with time and it is interesting to think this only happens together with others
also kind of hilariously for a paper on a topic like this, Sharon and Melanie are characters from Eastenders lol
Incels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what I’m reading

Once in Missouri we went to a line dancing place and my boyfriend had a panic attack
in fairness when we got there they were doing an extremely aggressive line dance
They were dancing around in their cowboy boots and then in the middle they stopped and were like “FUCK YOU” and all the men were like “SUCK MY DICK” and all the women were like “LICK MY CLIT” and then the women were like something something and the men were like “FUCKING BITCH”

I think increasing awareness of what mobbing is and how it works is an important part of trying to prevent things like what happened to Isabel Fall from happening over and over, so a thread:
“Mobbing” in this sense is a social phenomenon where people gang up on someone, monstering the victim to justify it, with the “goal” of somehow “eliminating” them. It’s normally talked about wrt workplaces and schools; I’m going to adjust it for Online. How it works:
1. There’s a normal, expectable conflict or disagreement.

Tbc it is not true that none of the helicopter story’s critics seriously read it.
I read the story as about a cis woman who undergoes conversion therapy—neurosurgery to change her gender identity—in part because of the ways womanhood can suck even if your brain is at home in it (and the ways having your brain attuned to it specifically can suck).
That’s pretty close to how terfs portray trans men! I think the addition of substantive gender identity is pretty transformative, but if you read it as the story of an afab trans person, it really can look close to the terf one.

I might be wrong!!!!!!! I don’t trust myself on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would really appreciate other people’s impressions
To be clear I do not at all mean Fall wasn’t seriously harmed, she demonstrably was. I just think a different kind of group social harm is maybe being assimilated into a story of another mass Twitter pile on, & responsibility diffused into an enormous mob that didn’t really exist
I think it was a mobbing, but a “mobbing” in the sense that also occurs in workplaces and schools, group aggression whose engine is monstering the target, where individuals do play key roles
