It’s become clear that the NIH Director has confused himself with Paul Leavesque, exploiting a beloved American institution to promote himself to dangerous degrees. This is inexcusable.

Reddit comment screenshot from OP: I used to see masked folks and kind of think they were overreacting. Boy do I eat those thoughts now… I was an idiot and inconsiderate. My mask makes me feels invisible now and watching people raw dog COVID infections makes me want to scream. “I was healthy, I was a rockstar, I was special too! I was someone who ‘wouldn’t get that.’ Don’t mess with this! It hurts!”

“I would have masked forever if I'd known [COVID] was to take away my favorite favorite all time love in life. It is down played so much and the numbers are suggesting ~30% of people get long COVID and that's just the ones who made the connection.”

But that would’ve required them to actually reflect on what was said in that article and to have a less intense, unhealthy level of parasocial attachment that didn’t prove my point to begin with.

…that it didn’t occur to whoever was throwing tantrums in my replies that pedestaling can give power + access to people who shouldn’t have it and be hell for victims to witness (among other harms).

Depressing how quickly another “photo w/predator & AEW star” happened, esp since said predator co-produced an all women’s show

Morally + politically pedestaling ppl causes harm. I’ve seen doing so play out very similarly in another space to this^ situation, & was awful. I wish I was more surprised…

I usually order an unflavored latte mostly because I prefer it simple, but also because it's funny when the barista yells "plain white Derek."

Appreciate ya lol

“Username sleater-kenny omega who pops for gay women beating the shit out of each other is a cynical nihilist who CLEARLY doesn’t want anyone to enjoy AEW” and then say Extremely Progressive things about how I must smell 🙃

is seen as the same thing as acting on that value, which causes harm in multiple ways, including both what I said before re: backlash when someone is harmed by a pedestaled person/org and what Nov. Jane said re: creating a culture of complacency. Instead, I have people who are like…

I’d be…more sympathetic if more people could acknowledge that putting celebrities + companies who signal progressive values on a pedestal has helped lead to a culture in the US where signaling a value—wearing the Good t-shirt, listening to the Good pop artist, watching the Good wrestling company—

Yep, totally agree and think that’s v well-put

So, I think if someone claims certain politics, they have a baseline responsibility to let the stuff brought up in the 2nd screenshot inform (and temper) their expectations of left-ish messaging from celebrities/companies. Thankfully, that’s really easy to do. I do it plenty watching AEW!

It can become much harder for people to get care/safety/justice, as one example, when harmed by someone, or a company/org, that has cultivated a reputation of being progressive/left that is reflexively defended by enough people, an example that feels at least somewhat pertinent to this situation.

I don’t disagree! I also think adults should get to “not expecting celebrities to act in ideological harmony w/leftist beliefs” before things like this happen, bc putting celebrities + companies on moral pedestals has consequences. Not saying you weren’t already there, but plenty others were not.

thank you!!

And you don’t hafta wait for something like that to happen to not put wrestlers (or any celebrity) on a pedestal!! Learning to not equate a person or institution’s liberal representation politics w/genuine moral conscientiousness is one of the most valuable things I’ve ever learned, fully sincerely

v grateful someone else took the time & effort to articulate this

this was all true long before the photo w/Scurrl came out (which I feel pr confident the author would agree w/based on what they wrote), but god forbid you said so around AEW fans before it did

*and infection

So many people are living proof that current vaccines are not great at preventing transmission! That doesn’t make them not important to get. I don’t like to think about how much worse my one scary infection could’ve been had I not had been very recently vaxxed prior

What’s so obviously absurd to me about calling the *fact* that current COVID vaccines are not highly effective at preventing transmission “anti-vax” is the sheer number of people who have gotten COVID after getting vaccinated. I’m one of them!!

That’s not what she said tho. It doesn’t entirely prevent transmission. U can see this by the covid in the wastewater & the numerous studies on reinfections in vaccinated pops. U can also see it in the moving goal posts of blue team, from “breakthrus are rare” to “you will get it 1x/yr like flu”

Liberals joined conservatives to mainstream anti-vax beliefs about viruses and public health Viruses are bad for kids' health. Public health is a collective effort. Liberals no longer believe either.

It’s also bizarre that he continually attacks actual public health advocates and disabled people who don’t have the luxury of buying into his vax and relax style of liberal denialism (which again, is the number 1 on-ramp to actual anti vaxx beliefs). This piece outlines his brand of denialism v well
