All of the shit in the new yorker review you linked to seems like it is badly written fiction. Did you ever read the Oyler criticism of Bad Feminist? I see it referenced all the time but I think the original host site shut down and I can't find it anywhere. Yeah it is very annoying and weird when people who base their entire career and public image on talking about themselves and their insecurities, traumas, deep personal issues etc but then leave out certain very pertinent details. has anyone read her book and does she even talk about her family or how they did or didnt support her emotionally after the rape? Also, her adult brother killed himself recently. I havent read her books and just know about the rape details from a short article.

And her entire origin story is based on being a kid in a family so rich that they can afford to send their daughter to a $45k per year boarding school but also somehow allowed her to be unsupervised in a cabin in the woods with a group of boys who raped her at age 12?! There is an interesting book there but its not about fat acceptance or intersectionality or whatever the fuck. Theres something so uniquely strange about this woman.

The interviewer calls her collection "incredible" based on the 5 names she dropped and then she says how proud of it she is! She does the preamble about prioritizing "black" (like the fat white girl in the sandwich sign dress art near the bottom) artists then immediately brags about owning their two Lichtensteins and says he is her number one artist "even though its cliche". I honestly was triggered when i read this horrible artsy profile.
