When will anyone learn that no one gives a gently caress about public apologies for anything?

Never apologize for anything. Own your poo poo.

Oh lol. Ity's like Bari Weiss was literally writing articles condoning ethnic cleansing, but the new hire said uncourteous things about white people and now we have to have a collective freak out. :fuckoff:. Seriously funny though that the Times is codelling the racist suburbanites.

it actually is calling for genocide though though, that's not at all a hot take

the whole point of that kind of thing was a combination of irony/freaking the norms and the power dynamics are such that it's irrelevant, but its extremely hard to view any language construction that is [synonym for remove/abolish/delete/etc.] + [ethnic group] as not being about genocide

the illusory prospect of "white genocide" is the entire basis of the joke/troll in the first place

if you use deliberately provocative rhetoric then own it- its dumb as poo poo to take that post seriously but its also disingenuous as hell to pretend its wasn't a call for genocide

the fact that it was completely unserious, not meant to be taken literally, and you shouldn't give a poo poo about the opinions of the people who are complaining doesn't mean its not 100% completely correct to describe that tweet as calling for genocide

again, me, because I loving hate it when people are disingenuous about this stuff because it happens to come from someone they like- I've liked sarah jeong's work for a long time, but edgelord posts about a subject are still posts about a subject (see: james gunn joking about pedophilia, uncouth rape jokes, etc.)

you shouldn't care about that stuff, especially when its brought up by the scum of the earth, but acting like you're confused about how explicitly eliminationist rhetoric can be interpreted as calling for genocide (when its the entire premise of the joke) and people are dumb for viewing it as such is loving nonsense
