he emailed my editor many times after this was published seeking correction....on my ANALYSIS of his work. he was trying to fact check criticism. please clap. https://twitter.com/xoxogossipgita/status/1281225796594565121
every couple of months after these were published, he would go on tweeting sprees about them and me and jezebel, and about how i’d lied about him and his work
he’d point things that needed to be corrected (laid out in ms paint looking diagrams) and suggest (or outright say? i don’t remember) that i didn’t read his atlantic cover story in full or if i did that i just didn’t get it—essentially that i’m stupid
in hindsight i think he was trying to bait me? i never engaged with him on his terms and i don’t think he liked that.
anyway after the third or fourth (?) round of this he blocked me ——silencing me for speech he disagreed with one might say
in conclusion where is his book? why isn’t it out yet? you’d think it would be out by now
also one time someone whose boyfriend played pickup basketball with him told me that either “he didn’t pass to anyone because he’s a little bitch” or “no one would pass to him because he’s a little bitch.” i don’t remember but the point was that he’s a little bitch
another point is that you don’t have to engage with people on here just because they try to engage with you. when a man on the street calls you something vile, you’re not obligated to debunk or respond to whatever he said just because he said it. you can just keep walking
mute people, mute words, turn on the quality filter, change it so you only see notifications from people you follow/people who follow you. if someone wants to engage you and the terms of their engagement won’t serve you even if you “win,” ignore that person or set your own
and then destroy them and then keep walking :)
