Not everyone being rude online is women being driven from their literal homes by people who then made careers out of soft-soaping the fash, if not joining them entirely.

wasn't there a pretty scathing review of her/their book recently on some other thread? overly nihilistic, simplistic, and troll-y?

I am not reading this so I assume the piece ends with an uncoded plea to only share the testing kits with those with the specificed skull measurements

HELEN: I want to know what you did to this guy that he's after you.

JERRY: I didn't do anything.

HELEN: Well you must have done something.

JERRY: No, he just doesn't like me.

HELEN: Doesn't like you? How can anyone not like you?

JERRY: You know, it seems impossible.

HELEN: Doesn't like you? How can that be?

JERRY: Ma, I know this may be hard for you to understand but I am sure there are many people who do not like me.

HELEN: Huh, Jerry, don't say that.

JERRY: It's true.

HELEN: No, it's not true. You're a wonderful, wonderful boy. Everybody likes you. It's impossible not to like you. Impossible. Morty?

MORTY: Maybe some people don't like him. I could see that.

I have also noticed that a lot of people seem to be spoiling for a fight these days, am sure there are genuine grievances and also sure that people are in a generally uncharitable mood, just not sure what the balance of these two factors is.
