There was a small shitstorm over female writers being pressured into sex by the guy doing a big indie journal. Not even openly sex in exchange of print; nagging them, demanding and guilt tripping them. I think it's the guy in the middle, he looks older and more needy, but I might be wrong. A bit after that came the Tao Lin sex scandal (in which Tao behave incredibly correctly without being an asshole in any level even when it was clearly a moment of rage from a previous partner exploited by jezebel y other pseudo feminist fronts) and we all forgot.

Tao made a very long facebook post and then deleted it. The post was basically about how he didn't remember that time like that but if it had hurted her he was sorry, really the best middle ground you could get in those situations. He erased it and rewrote it two or three times before taking it out. You can find it if you search, I didn't save it because I don't really give any fucks about this.

This is the other thing, it's the most desperate sex scene in history

>doesn't mean that tao wasn't
ofc not, but calling someone a "rapist" can pretty much one-hit his career and social life. p much everyone has at some point been an asshole in a relationship. we get hurt, we hurt people back. it's not good and it can get ugly but there's a BIG difference between being a complete and utter prick by verbally mocking someone and actually forcing yourself on a person physically; it's pretty much the largest intrusion into someone's personal space possible, physically and psychologically heavily traumatising and allover grossly violent and disgusting. i know someone who's been through this. verbal abuse doesn't even come fucking close.

put aside how you feel about lin or alt lit and just consider how fucked it is to accuse someone of RAPE, arguably the most repulsive thing a person could do short of murder, and to do so over a social media site designed to make things go viral.

I just read the little story "Probably going to die alone."

She captured the stupidness and floating triviality of modern bourgeouis young adult life really nicely.

But I also think that this kind of lifestyle is exactly why I read and exactly what I want to get away from and that's why I'm on 4chan and now I'm typing like her except without punctuation. Before I was typing in nice lengthy clauses, with careful thought and polysyllabics pointing carefully at some extremely important conclusion regarding modernity and secularity, because I was reading Reinhold Niebuhr.

And then I read Ellen Kennedy. And her little story reminded me of being in college and being depressed. Then sometimes I would come home, and also be depressed.

I don't want to die and I'm not depressed anymore, but I would like to get out of this mess, someday.

It's never been good. Alt lit is a community of hundreds of writers, the most "famous" are the most self-important, self-promoting narcissists.
