For AsAms who feel inclined to defend Roslyn Talusan from white people, she was a primary participant in inciting a harassment campaign against me for making AsAm comics. She helped sabotage my Mulan essay, only to later publish her own on the same topic (and get paid for it). 1/

So not only did she help spread slander against me in order to permanently destroy my career and make sure no one in marginalized spaces would platform me, but she financially benefited from the harm she caused. The irony is she said a Filipino shouldn't write about Mulan. 2/

I also had to turn down an offer of rep from a literary agent because of a connection with her. I honestly don't know the full extent of how many resources & opportunities I lost because of her & her toxic harasser friends, but even with the ones I can identify, it's a lot. 3/

I've stayed quiet on this because the harassment campaign was relentless—it went on for over a year, & I had to hire a lawyer. The people involved were never held accountable in AsAm spaces, including Roslyn, and also Laura & Keith from Nerds Of Color. 4/

I'll never condone racist white people swarming people of color online. But when the target is someone who helped swarm a person in their own community, & financially profited off of the harm then & now... It begs the question of why they deserve money, resources, & support. 5/5
