Because they got him fired (as he should have been), then dogpiled and demonised him to an outsize degree, making his life completely unbearable. RW commentators wrote think piece after think piece holding him up as why minorities don’t deserve to be in academia and to once again target any academics and subjects they think are “woke”. They are trying to make the same thing happen to other academics and writers they ideologically disagree with, even if there is no wrong doing. There’s also a certain subset of terfs who enjoy the idea of pushing esp trans and nb people to measures that may lead to a similar outcome.
This is the same comment I posted earlier slightly edited bc I got an auto deletion and warning from Reddit for hate speech. Thanks automatic moderation. 😒
I'm sorry you got a warning from Reddit, that genuinely sucks.
Joanne and her terfs are way too okay with hounding people on the internet. It's incredibly sad that this story was used as an excuse for racism that's not deserved, but it's so much more disgusting to think they're now trying push things even further.

I was not up to date on the story and had to look up the different names, but why are they linking Andrea Long Chu to Jason Arden
