On the Cody Ko situation: 

Im seeing the at the whole internet is dog pilling on Brittany Broski for her poorly worded statement. As a victim myself, I completely understand and agree with the criticism, but I’m frustrated at the fact im not seeing a FRACTION of that heat dedicated to the other 90% of the commentary community that’s stayed silent. I haven’t seen this heat dedicated towards Kurtis, Drew, Danny, Noel Miller, or anyone else. Hell Noel Miller is still actively working with Cody Ko and I haven’t seen nearly as much criticism against him. But Brittany is the worst person alive for being one of the few who have said anything at all because of some (admittedly) terrible word choices? 

I just feel women get absolutely no grace and have to be perfect in every way or they get so much worse flak while men get praised for doing the bare minimum, and sometimes less than that.  

But maybe I’m a bit off base and I want to hear others thoughts on this situation. Am I missing something? 

Note: I know Brittany said some pretty disappointing statements when people asked her to talk about Palestine. But I’m speaking specifically to the Cody Ko situation.

whenever a famous woman with woman fans gets criticism from women, her fans ALWAYS say it's because she's a woman. 

Hilary Clinton, Taylor Swift, etc etc.

Not sure if you’re referring to me. But I never said that her getting criticism was sexist. I said the criticism is deserved. Me going to social media and seeing users (as a whole) targeting this criticism at Brittany and attacking her appearance, while simultaneously ignoring the silence of male content creators that have also directly worked with Cody Ko, is what rings as sexist to me.

lol you ended up doing the "it's because she's a woman" thing anyway. 

People making fun of her appearance being sexism is funny because any man getting hated on by Twitter also gets made fun of for their appearance. It's like our favorite thing to do about people we don't like on Twitter. 

She's getting more criticism than Noel for example because people are responding to a specific statement she's made which they did not like. Noel hasn't put out a statement that people did not like. It's that simple.

So him continuing to work Cody Ko after the allegations came out a month ago wasn’t a good enough statement for you? If Brittany did exactly that and said nothing, you think that would be a better look than this statement?

I don't think you understand who is canceling Brittney. It's not people who can pick Noel Miller out of a lineup.
