LOL, love Chad getting his Nazi eugenics on. Hey, it’s a “viewpoint,” right?
The obvious cynical question is if Emma Camp is so sensitive she can’t tolerate disagreement from her undergraduate classmates at UVA, how does she have the self-confidence to write a critique of university culture for the New York Fucking Times? It’s not the Muncie, Indiana Pennysaver.
Of course the irony here is that the hubris required to write this for the paper of record negates the entire notion she is too delicate a blossom to endure pushback. Doesn’t she intern at Reason or Fire Organization or something?
Gotta say, that reference to Camp was triggering. A) I had already read LGM's post on her and B) I may well have had my fill of these future-hero-of-the-anti-cancelculture-brigades. I mean, enough with the lionizing shitheaded snowflakes who get sad when faced with being held accountable and the pundits who hold them up as, well, special snowflakes.
But.
"THRUM: Of course we know about it, Jason! It’s already been in National Review, The Daily Caller, Fox News, and of course on Rumble, GETTR and Gab."
Eventually, I was amused. And then Chad's truth telling and cancelling by Thrum. 👩🏻🍳😘 (I was sort of wondering initially why it was Thrum and not my man Manfred Sheboygan but, obviously, by the end of the piece it was obvious why.)
BTW: Besides the triggering thing, as a dotard, I take offense at any sort of mockery of old time pearl-buttoned work shirts. Just saying.
Delineating characters through their fashion choices really works for me. There's a lot of information there! How the character sees themselves, how they think others see them. Values, income. Tons of information. Have you always done this? I've really only noticed it here.
It's everywhere but a couple of my favorite authors really use this - Jon Sandford.for one -. Nobody moves a narrative like Sandford. It's simple pulp fiction policier but man oh man is it ever put together . Every one of his books I promise to myself I'm going to concentrate on figuring out just how it's constructed . Before I know it I'm sucked in - I'm reading it as fast as I can because that's what he knows how to do . I've finished books of his and immediately started re-reading it determined to figure out just how he does it . Two pages later I'm just wolfing it down caught up in a story...
His main character , Lucas Davenport really really likes good clothes and can afford them . There's always a scene in these lightning fast super tightly plotted books where everything stops and he goes shopping or runs into another clothes horse and they start discussing what they're wearing . It's not a big part of the books but it's always there and it's always enjoyably done .
And then I think of that incredible sentence in the introduction to the Magnificent Ambersons-
"In that town, in those days, all the women who wore silk or velvet knew all the other women who wore silk or velvet ..."
THRUM: [Grandly] There are limits! We have to demonstrate respect for other viewpoints. I don’t say we have to have respect for them, but we do have to demonstrate it. What a polite Con.
Tomorrow belongs to Chad.

"salmon shorts"
Yeah, brilliant...but how does it scale?
Emma should thank her lucky stars she didn’t go to college in the ‘60s. Tear gas trumps “cancel culture” in the battle against free speech.

From Ms. Kampf's op-ed:
"At U.Va., only 9 percent of students surveyed described themselves as a “strong Republican” or “weak Republican”
Might indicate something about today's Republican party, no?
"UNVCC"
I see what you did there.
Hilarous! Right up until it was chilling.
I know I said this just yesterday, but this column should be public too.
