Eh, I wouldn't say all that. Wu's buddy Maddy finds tons of 'problematic' things all the time and she's been out there before.

And there's also ones like Leigh who were formerly that 'kind of feminist' but then claim "I learned to respect myself"

Anti-sex feminism is just Marxist Catholicism, guilt-tripping, indulgences and all. It's just as much an organised religion.

We need to get the positive ones to be able to ignore shaming. That's where a lot of the conflict derides from.

This woman from earlier on in GG, Claire Schumann for instance. She tried to break away from the cult and got annihilated.

This right here is how the conservative feminists maintain their numbers. Unfortunately, the positive ones don't want to fight anybody but "the man" just as their parents did in the 60s They're wholly unprepared for this kind of treatment from their 'own side.' They might even believe they'd get support. So they fold and fall back into the cliques when they try to search for a middle ground.

For those that do successfully break away, there's a term called Unpersoning that describes what happens next pretty well. They start saying the person isn't real, that it's a sockpuppet (even after other major figures may vouch for them), that they've "internalised" misogyny and self-hatred. Anything to make it look like they "never truly believed in the cause in the first place"
