I might touch an arm or a hand or a shoulder even (not really personal space but) an armpit? It’s ... odd.

Okay now, let’s deal with the romanticizing of the Scottish highlands here. She lives in a castle, frequently takes trips to big cities, and is very well educated. Let’s not put her in the mountains with no phones.

YES. FINALLY. I thought I was going insane.

Yeah, but was it really “in earnest?” Or was it a “see? I’m a good person despite the fact that I took this role, knowing it was whitewashing, because I’m now discussing it with an Asian!” See, I think it might have been the second.

Sigh.

I’m white. Tilda did not have a crime committed against her. She is not a “victim.” Cho was being funny, but the basic exchange she described is exactly what happened.

Sorry I can’t soothe your ego, but it’s not my job.

Actually, I’m not so openly questioning Baio’s account. That’s my entire point. She “put her hands under his armpits and shook him.” heh? Is she super tall? Is he teeny? It’s a weird accusation, and I have to wonder why no police if it was so physical and contentious.

I pray you are correct.

I’m in agreement. I’m annoyed I’m in agreement because we don’t get along, but yeah, you’re right.

OKAY. As a white person, I will now speak to other white people:

I hate to tell you this, but I have a strong feeling there won’t be another election.

No, we can’t do that.

That is literally the only way it could have happened, right??

So he got beat up by a girl? Is that what we’re saying?

Agreement. Complete agreement.

Everyone needs to make sure to dismiss the troll.

It discriminates but it is NOT sexism. That is my entire point, which you keep strolling by and ignoring. The oppressors cannot experience the systemic problem. They can only experience its byproducts.

Johnny is trying to keep control over her any way he can. In the end, she may have to cut her losses, which sucks.

We are in agreement.
