Yeah, man, I really don't care how this monster is made to feel shame and misery. That she only has to feel it on Twitter and not deal with any real world consequences is the only tragedy here.
How libraries are functioning is an assault on our children, paid for by our tax dollars. It’s long past time for parents to fight back. Librarians made themselves into political warriors and tried to turn our kids into their foot soldiers. They don’t get to without a fight.— Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) July 6, 2022

broadcasting one's 'trauma' in a high-profile, public way as part of a shtick / sales pitch is what's cynical here. i agree with milo that the original tweet very much reads like a brag. the impulse to control people's responses to that is what's questionable here imo and i think crut is the one who needs to take a break.

this is exhausting. as someone who is the target of her current political invective, which is the same anti-trans bullshit the entirety of the american right has taken up, i do not give a fuck what ppl ridicule her for, especially if she put it out there herself bc she wanted to look like a selfless and complex person for being both pro-life and pro-euthanasia, an angle so cynical i almost wish i could tell her to fuck off in person

I'm not too interested in this woman's trauma, which we only know about for what do seem to be mercenary reasons. I barely know who BM is, but her twitter feed is filled with vicious intolerance against entire populations of people she hates, which...sometimes you reap what you sow
I do think calling justified euthanasia "killing your mom" just to dunk on some minor evil dipshit is maybe tactically dumb, but that doesn't seem to be the objection here.

absolutely true. but the agricultural metaphor hides the fact that what some see as reaping looks to others much like sowing

clowning her for killing her mom is totally fair game
iirc the major objection to her is her inability to imagine the humanity of those she sees as 'other'. crut seems to be the only person besides me who understands that dehumanizing humans is never a good look no matter who is doing it. she didn't kill her mom. her mom was going to die no matter what she decided.
based on her description, at age 16 she was required to decide whether or not it was worth prolonging her mother's life via massive medical interventions that would only allow her mother a bare chance to not die immediately. her mom was dying rapidly anyway. this only was a stepping aside from useless interventions. she is so ignorant that she called it euthanasia, when it was nothing of the sort. the fact that you insist on calling this 'killing her mom' is just a measure of your own ignorance of this kind of situation.
