I know this isn't what you are saying, but I genuinely think a ton of people on here used to massively stan her and think her work really meant something, and now that she's turned out to be the absolute worst they can't stop torturing themselves over it.
A few years ago, she was chumming up to the online left at the same time as trolling trans communities, and I imagine quite a few people feel kind of guilty about turning a bling eye to that, so again, they obsess over her. It's a pretty smart media strategy tbh.
I've grown out of liking her myself, i have distanced myself from pretty much her entire perspective on trans womanhood, i've politically always been to the left of her, but somehow i am not constantly tearing into her every time she should have put her phone away instead of sending a post. And honestly, it's not particularly hard. I simply don't have time for hating trans women i have never met as long as men exist.
we overcame the site's obsession with Vaush, maybe we shift the
treatment to contrapoints at rhis point.
Yeah, I don't think there's much to say on her anymore beyond "yep. Her takes are garbage" she no longer has the influence she used to and thrives on internet drama, the best thing to do with someone like that is to not waste our time talking about their nonsense, old or new.
