This is appalling and absurd. I can only assume they have not read your work and believe the cancel culture bullshit take on your work. Because any reasonable person who reads your words can clearly see you’re supportive.
Like, I don’t know about punishment. My gut reaction is to disagree, but I also recognize I don’t know enough about this perspective to form a definite opinion. However, I don’t read your perspective or anything you say as being unsupportive. Absolutely I will write them.
this is so important! I do recognize your struggles. I have similar ones though not in the same scope as you. it is harrowing. it breeds more and more hostility and difficulties. there are many snakes biting each other's tails in these situations. It needs a huge amount of internal stability and support from outside to even understand the different powers at work and entanglement of individual persons and their emotional involvement, not to speak of detangling them.
Email sent :) happy to support and I appreciate and value the way you continue to show up with care, integrity, and nuance around an extremely difficult topic.
I started writing an email after the first 2-3 paragraphs, and only then realized that's what you wanted us to do! That's how fucking compelling this is.
I was mobbed by, idk, 8-10 people when I lived on in intentional community (population was about 60). I wish more people understood what mobbing looks like, how it works, the futility. How it's like a neurotic, obfuscated kind of scapegoating. Maybe it's too subtle for a lot of people understand? -- especially when they feel they have zero skin in the game and therefore no motivation to trouble themselves to understand.
Getting back to Sexpozine: For fucks sake, they don't have to like you. Maybe you have a sandpaper personality, idk! If so, FINE. But to silence you is still a form violence & discrimination. As if they were excluding you because they didn't like your face -_-
Oh, and a side note: I am *actively* interested in the question of your cancelling because I want to know that the writers I look up to have integrity. Clementine, even trying very hard to understand why you apparently deserve to be shut up -- I couldn't find it. So my bet is on the side of your fucking integrity :P Keep it up, please... You're a shining star in my life, and in so many others'.
sent an email :) hoping you get what you deserve (dignity, welcome, and sales beyond your wildest dreams)
