Ellie Kemper and Twitter’s Two Minutes Hate

Well, it's not everyday you're the victim of a terrifying digital pogrom and the only people willing to give you a cable news slot to talk about your horrifying experience is Fox Nows.

>This time a witch-hunt to cancel a user, due to ‘past crimes’.

It's worse: According to the article, there weren't even "past crimes":

"The outrage stemmed from photos of the 41-year-old actress as a teenage debutante in 1999, when she participated in a debutante ball in her hometown of St Louis, Missouri — an event rendered automatically suspect to a certain subset of internet users given its location in a city below the Mason-Dixon Line."

If true, it's a whole new level of low for these mobs.

"You’d have to read carefully to understand that Kemper isn’t actually accused of racism, per se, or that the balls in question hosted black members and debutants beginning in the 1970s — but the thing about these controversies is that nobody ever does read carefully, or at all."
