Teen Vogue Editor Alexi McCammond Quits Over Past Racist Tweets

Source.

quote:
One week before Alexi McCammond was to start as editor-in-chief of Condé Nast’s Teen Vogue, she has agreed to “part ways” with the company over racist tweets she had posted as a teenager a decade ago.


Her statement about her resignation.

You are not the only qualified POC for the position. You should have stepped down immediately after the AAPI community asked you to do so. You were purposefully and publicly hateful on SEVERAL occasions.



An interesting tweet.

Who says something like that? That there are other qualified people, or that you should have stepped down right when this "community" told you to.


I smell a hit job. Two people wanted the same job, one dug up dirt on the other, and assured her promotion.

So is it good or bad that people get "cancelled" over tweets from years ago?

Seems people can't make up their minds.

Followed the tweeter.


Seems she's genuinely against minorities being marketed to. Lot of anger at civil rights profit motivated exploitation.


That's awesome.

They're also out of their minds, which is also good.

Silly girl. Her mistake was the demographic. Should have just directed her hate at white people and she'd have been promoted.

Doesn’t she know that cancel culture is a fiction created by the right-wing grievance industry?

One of the guys there looks like a right wing demagogue. Trailer park, desert wasteland, trucker cap, and tank top.


Insists he never said a racist thing even as a kid.

If the shooting of the Asian women hadn't happened I think it is unlikely there would have been enough outrage and political will to get her to lose her job. It is also a way for these companies to seem like they are doing something about the rise in racism against Asians, basically a way to wash their hands of it, while really doing nothing.

From her POV very unlucky timing.

Starting to look like the motive was sex addiction.

Won't help the cause, if this turns into a "Oops, we jumped the gun again. Moving on."

I don't know whether you can really jump the gun when a mass murderer clearly targets asian women. I do think there are many aspects to it though, like it's not just Asian racism, it's also misogyny, this killer fits kind of into the mold of killers like Elliot Rodgers in their hatred of women and blame for what women allegedly do to them, it's also a hatred of sex workers, and then there's the aspect that these were mainly poorer working women. There's just a lot of different aspect the killing spree is a reflection of, imo.

It appears she voluntarily resigned. She wasn't "cancelled".

It's not that people think cancel culture is a fiction. It's just much, or even most, of it is exagerrated. Keep in mind, she hasn't claimed she was wronged in any way. Despite that, the "free speech/anti-SJW" brigade is raging again.

It's almost as if they don't actually care, and just whine because they feel lost another battle to the "leftist" boogeyman.

Read the twitter feeds. The lynch mobs are real.


"What is this about growth? I never said a racist thing when I was a kid!"

"**** these apologists, I never once in my life said this, at any age."


Because people don't mature at different rates, or in different ways.

Plus the fact they're inadvertently arguing against rehab for criminals, because a tiger can't change their stripes.

If massage parlors employ asian women though... Could have as easily been whoever was working there.


Agreed on the misogyny.

Right, and I agree some people don't allow for change and growth. They don't literally have a cancel switch though. If they did, Trump wouldn't have been President. She chose to leave.

And their opponents on Twitter are now upset that they "lost" an argument to the other Twitter faction. They don't actually care about her job or livelihood.

At the same time, he could have targeted other sex workers too if it was just general temptation that he had a problem with.

But he didn't.

If the massage parlors are where he gets his sex from, why would he?


The point of cancel culture, is to exploit a businesses skittishness at hurting their bottom line.

The irony is, they use controversy all the time to pad that same bottom line. Its only when one of their own becomes the subject of a controversy, that they immediately cut their losses.


That's why Telemundo unceremoniously fired Rodner Figueroa for perceived racism.

And I use the word perceived deliberately, because it was obviously unintentional, looking at the context. A mixed race gay fashion critic, commenting on Michelle Obama's makeup. He cited "Planet of the Apes" as a comparison of bad makeup work. Anyone that actually looks at the context can know that. The executives at the Telemundo probably knew it. He was sacrificed for damage control.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.mi...e225768630.html


People see this, and will absolutely try and get people fired over it for no reason at all. Just the lulz, because they can.

If companies actually stood behind their workers, this wouldn't be an issue. Fire people that deserve it, yes, but actually make sure of it first.
