I don't know about #metoo being dead, but this thread certainly appears to be, and it's probably because of flippant posts like this one that add nothing substantive to the discussion. I'll be honest, I came in here wanting to gain more insight into the subject — I have several friends who are survivors and I want to better understand what they have gone through and how they deal with the trauma. But I read the last page up to your post, and the only things I saw were:

a) some derail about Marx
b) some poster insisting, like you did above, that #metoo is dead because it has been co-opted by rich white women, then continuing to argue that despite being shown evidence to the contrary
c) more flippant poo poo about how people using the #metoo hashtag are the "disingenuous politics class" (this is coming from the OP, no less)
d) some back and forth about how the thread can be revived
e) a moderator suggesting that the OP advertise the thread in the sticky, and immediately getting attacked and being called a rape apologist

I don't know what the solution is, but after seeing all that, my immediate urge was to out of the thread.
