There is also the intellectual dark web subreddit, r/intellectualdarkweb. Also the blocked and reported subreddit, r/blockedandreported

FYI: Blocked and Reported podcast hosts, Jesse Singal & Katie Herzog, although under career-destroying attacks by rabid trans activists, are busy needling any GC people they can irritate.

Yeah thats true. I find the sub to be a good place for discussion tho. IDG why they are attacking Linehan tho.

I have read their twitters for a few years and listened to their podcast a few times. At first, I liked both of them, but now I think Jesse is a wimp, throwing GCers under the bus in fear of the Trans Army.

I think that Katie is just a contrarian. If GC feminists said the sky is blue she'd disagree and then a few days later tweet something like, "How could anyone say the sky isn't blue?"

I continue to track them to see if they'll evolve on the gender ideology issue, and they also seem to get into really vicious and entertaining twitter wars, plus Katie can be very funny.

Yeah, no idea why Katie is comparing Linehan to deranged TiMs. But maybe she can't understand Linehan's passion because she herself doesn't have any?

I don't actually listen to the podcast but I follow both of them on twitter and read Singal's substack.

I think that Katie is just a contrarian

This is mostly the reason that I have zero respect for Paglia. She will say literally anything just to be "contrary". eta - Paglia isn't relevant to this discussion but she annoys me so much

Just saw this tweet and thought you'd appreciate it (I'm guessing the tweeter is talking about Linehan)

"Imagine you're a pair of journalists, called, oh, Bessie Bingal and Kitty Werner Herzog. Let's say you're in week 2 of trashing a guy, much to the chagrin of a number of people who support your work by giving you money.

At what point do you call him for an interview?"

OK that made me laugh out loud. Like all 3 of them more or less have the same 'beat', why so aggro.

Linehan responds to the Herzog/ Singal criticism - sound like they are being awful to him.
