Teen Vogue editor-in-chief appointee cancelled before day one over ten year old tweets

[Trausti]

Don’t apologize. Decent people don’t want one and the zealots will never be satisfied.

Ain't that the truth... oh wait... you were talking about the woke movement.

10 year old tweets murder career.... 10 murdered by person. I can see why the right-wing woke would be so sensitive to this, over something that actually impacts people's lives.

 

[Metaphor]

Whether she remains a bigot or not is unknown.

It is not unknown if you apply the same standard of evidence to reformation that you did to the initial charge. Her bigotry was established via a few tweets-- words. No long history of anti-Asian behaviour has been uncovered or alleged.

Yet her own current words are not enough to redeem her. What could she do, in your opinion, to gain forgiveness?

And there it is. Woke religion is judgmental Christianity without the redemption.

Never mind. I found a decent article that answered my question.

Looks like Teen Vogue is on the verge of implosion:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/senior-teen-vogue-staffer-mccammonds-ousting-used-n-word-in-decade-old-tweets

A senior Teen Vogue staffer who posted a letter expressing concern about Alexi McCammond for past tweets racist against Asian Americans used the N-word in tweets from over 10 years ago herself.

It would be a shame if Teen Vogue shut down. I remember the despair I felt when Tiger Beat closed its doors. I don't want to go through that again.

You sound unfamiliar with Teen Vogue.

You sound unfamiliar with Teen Vogue.

You sound unfamiliar with jokes.

You sound unfamiliar with Teen Vogue.

You sound unfamiliar with jokes.

Only to those unfamiliar with humor.

No, I’m familiar. I just thought that jokes were supposed to be funny.

Or maybe it’s just that I find such ill informed misogynist statements to be less joke and more a transparent and lame attempt to pass off ignorance and misogyny as a joke.

Toni, you would see misogyny in the pattern of the glue streak on the cardboard flaps of a cereal box.

thebeave made a chuckle-worthy joke about the emotional impact of a teen magazine disappearing from shelves. You read misogyny into it out of nowhere, and laughing dog white-knighted your paranoia.

What an ironic statement- whiteknighting thebeave a second time, with a joke that proves you are unfamiliar with humor.

I don’t disagree but here, I think Metaphor was reaching pretty hard in order to personally insult and attempt to goad me. It’s not worth replying to. He can grind that axe down to a nub as far as I’m concerned.

You insulted thebeave first, claiming his joke was not funny (a false charge, because it was funny and just did not appeal to you personally, but that charge was merely a minor insult in the grand scheme of things), but also that it was an expression of misogyny. And now you have the ovaries to kvetch about 'insults' and goading.

Still genuinely interested in the answer to this question.

I did not insult the beave. I pointed out that he seemed unfamiliar with Teen Vogue.

You insulted him in post 28. You called his joke 'an ill informed misogynist statement'.

It was no such thing. You have no evidence for either charge (neither ill-informed nor misogynist).

I offered critique of statements that you characterized as a joke. I disagreed that it was a joke and instead said that the statement seemed ill informed and misogynistic. That is criticism of statements, not of a person.

And your critique was wrong, evidence-free, stupid, mean-spirited, and ugly. That is criticism of your "critique", not of a person.

And, a twist in the tale:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle...ammond-firing-tweeted-racial-slur/ar-BB1eQ71W

A Teen Vogue staff member has come under fire for resurfaced tweets containing racial slurs following Alexi McCammond's departure from her newly appointed role as editor-in-chief.

Christine Davitt, senior social media manager at Teen Vogue, was among the magazine's staff members who expressed concern over McCammond being appointed editor. But in the wake of McCammond stepping away from the role, tweets from 2009 by Davitt—who has said she is of mixed Irish and Filipino descent—in which she used the N-word resurfaced.

...

Heather R. Higgins, businesswoman and political commentator, said: "If correct, Davitt needs by her own standards to resign her job at @TeenVogue, or by their standards they need to fire her. #samerulesforall"

It's one thing for the Woke to eat their own. But it's another to join the mob knowing have more recent sins that can be discovered.

 

[Keith&Co.]

This woman did make apparent racist tweets 10 years ago. I think it is reasonable to find out if she has changed her views or not. A sincere explanation or apology is one way to ascertain that.

Oh, so she's just the victim of changing values?
Waa it acceptable to use the N word 10 years ago?
I don't recall that it was...

My grandmother used to insist that when she was little, in the 1920s, thd polite term for some people was 'darkies.' We eventually convinced her that this was no longer the case in 1984...just before she met my fiance.
I don't know anyone old enough to claim the N word was okay when they were young. USED, maybe, depending on the background, but not acceptable.
