completely agree with you on crime and punishment. it was the first time i read Russian literature, and it just completely hooked me. the mind set Dostoyevsky portrays is just so gripping. it reads almost like a thriller but its so much more.

intermittent fan of your show, just listened to the yellow rain segment and all the following apologies and responses by Kalie Yang.

i'm actually disappointed, by both the interview and the ensuing (seemingly ungenuine) apologies.

have you considered any additional steps outside of apologies and editing of the original interview ( which to my opinion is an affront, but w/e i'm not a journalist) such as inviting Kalia young back to the show to talk about this controversy?

there seems to have been very little done to rectify the alleged wrongs here except for open letter apologies.

"You can define yourself outside of feminism, but while doing so you reject the inherent tenet that feminism promotes: equality for women. "

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what? so do people who recject Mens rights reject equality of men? ho in the world does that logic make sense? im super critical of a lot of the anti feminism i see, i even have posts on kia defending feminism. but wtf is that logic? rejecting feminism = rejecting equality? maybe if you are anti egalitarian i can sorta see where you coming from, but having massive problems with feminism does not men you have any problems with equality.

the fact that you compare a fluid and subjective ideology to an established religion with central texts and centralized leaders is more confounding. feminism =/= religion. a better comparision would be marxism. is the central belief about marxism good and whole? maybe, but there are many valid criticisms about how that movement and philosophy grew and changed that can reasonably make nyone not want to associatethemselves with it.

iff reddit was primarily a black audience, would the content of /r/BlackPeopleTwitter then be ok? it seems you don't have so a problem with the content as much as the supposed community.

as a POC(of the brown variety), i find the type of humor as something i can relate with. i cannot deny there are bad actors, but the far majority seem to participate in good faith. seems unfair to indict the entire community.
