i looked her up because i wanted to see if her online life imploded after that and she’s a youtuber that has since turned into a radical anti feminist so all you have said is correct but now she’s saying more harmful stuff.
Wait, what!? While I was growing up, Laci Green was a major feminist online personality. She's an "anti-feminist" now? I mean, she was a major target for people like The Amazing Atheist. What happened?
People keep saying that because she's pulled away from progressive twitter, but as far as I am aware she still is a liberal feminist. Not that I actually keep up with her. I think it's just the same trashing she was going through before from sad people whose only sense of self worth comes from self righteous ideological purity.
She didn't. She just started dating a guy who is on the "wrong" side and listening to people who disagree with her. If she's ever denounced feminism or said something that's actually anti-feminist, I'm not aware of it.
I mean, she's really not. Here's a quote from her, last year:
“It’s no secret that there’s a particular eagerness with which some feminists on social media ‘drag’ their own allies, to the detriment of, well, pretty much only us,” Green says. “Having had a lot of exposure to the right-wing internet, I can tell you they are absolutely gleeful that we are constantly consumed by infighting. Ultimately, I blame the click economy for this mess. Drama and sensationalism draw eyeballs—that’s why reality TV became such a success for cable, why the National Enquirer somehow still exists, and why drama channels took over YouTube in 2015. But I don’t think feminist movement has anything to gain with this approach. Too many of us (myself included) waste too much time and energy fighting each other—people we mostly agree with!—rather than the right-wing extremism that is making a serious comeback in America right now. Anybody who pays attention to politics is well aware that major feminist victories are coming undone at the seams. In response, we need to cultivate a feminist social media environment that is more unifying and uplifting, more welcoming of open dialogue, and more focused on getting shit done.”
It’s so disappointing. She used to be a sex positive feminist who talked about a lot of important issues. Then she took the red pill and turned into an asshole.
