DIGITAL DIAGNOSIS. N. K. Jemisin tries to work out what the symptoms of social media indicate. Thread starts here.
Like, one person got hella mad at me a few days ago because I'm not into sports. A while back someone ranted at me for like 5 tweets because I said something good about an anime they disliked. Somehow "This was great!" turned into "Why do you, N. K. Jemisin, hate women?!"— N. K. Jemisin (@nkjemisin) December 17, 2020
In counseling we recognize lots of developmental stages. At one stage people tend to be very binary in their thinking: you're with us or against us, smart or stupid, perfect or terrible. They defer to whatever they decide is an authority, and that authority is infallible.— N. K. Jemisin (@nkjemisin) December 17, 2020
