My main takeaway from Amber is that she emphasizes over and over that only real life activism matters and all this online poo poo is pointless frivolity.

What she said about political persuasions and substituting activism in place of actual hobbies doesn't make someone interesting was a good hot take

how much of it is because people won't shut up about The Office and how much of it is because they play up its blue collar background?

not only do i agree with that, you can extend that to beyond politics. anyone who believes that their identity is their personality is a fundamentally boring person. i'm particularly vexed by the people who do that with psychological diagnoses. i spent my childhood and teenage years being labeled and re-labeled by psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health professionals, what have you, which did a number on my self-esteem. seeing people use labels as a crutch and a substitute for personality is something i'll never get

I think most of her defenders acknowledge that she says dumb poo poo every now and then, just that it doesn't overshadow her other contributions.
