They're trying to blame Emerson for death threats they received from TRAs. But I think it's their profits they're more worried about.

Didn't see them speaking up against the threats towards Emerson, but when the tides turn they'll pull out every victim card. We were just speaking up for the righteous cause, we're young volunteers and we're minors, how dare you confront us with logic and consequences /s

You are sarcastically joking, but this is literally how Crusades were done "it is in the name of God, so we can be as cruel and unpure as we want, all our sins would be forgiven, as it is done in the name of right cause".

And when you openning internet - and see all those "crusade" memes, or even worse "Texas crusader dad with shotgun" memes, you realizing - it is literally the same thing. And they're not even hiding it anymore. "We will do a lot of harm, but it will be forgiven by society, because it is for a good cause".

If minors are receiving death threats it's their fault, not Emerson's. They're an organization and anonymous. How do their minor volunteer receive death threats? Do they not have policies and systems in place to ensure their minor volunteers are not handling their emails and social media when they decided to put themselves into a controversial matter? Are their minors' identities and contact information made publicly available? How can they blame Emerson for something HE can't control instead of controlling their own environment to protect their own?
