including tons of weapons

"bloodstained" shirts with stuff like "I punch TERFS"

TERFs and other feminists are pissed, mostly because it glorifies violence by men against women

Ha nitpicky point, most violence against lesbians is committed by lesbians, contra article.

and are reviewbombing the library on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sfpl.org/reviews/?ref=page_internal

But interesting story I'm peeking at anyway.

nonstop arguing for several days in those facebook comments, many complaints of 1A violation censorship (since public libraries are gov.)

the library has double posted this in response: https://twitter.com/SFPublicLibrary/status/989219339306811392 but have not otherwise made comment

people are contacting the mayor and other gov officials, but there is no other public response

Also, many of the degenderettes were involved in antifa and the "Battle of Berkeley", lots of screenshots of the same shields, weapons, people, and props.

The shirt has been taken down in response to the complaints, but the weapons have stayed.

Seems like it's still playing out too.

the most notable development since my original email to Tim and Emily was that THE GUARDIAN mentioned it in an incel article https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/29/violent-misogyny-not-confined-to-internet-incels

It's relevant for multiple reasons as I see.

I thought so. Almost no mainstream reporting too, so far

Does anyone know how the "exhibition" was funded? Or if, I guess. There's a case that given limited public space in a library for exhibitions that allowing it is in fact a form of promotion or endorsement, I suppose, if they were given the space without paying.

If they rented it or such, then that argument is irrelevant,though

Oh, funded by "Friends of the SFPL"

seems like questions for a reporter to find out

or that

lol

So, they're an external private funding source, that paid for the exhibition. Taking it down (partly) is probably a 1A issue.

Maybe some wiggliness about calling for direct violence to neutralize the 1A issues?

my suspicion is that mass flagging triggers facebook to take out the comments. it's not the admins of the library doing it

I mean taking down part of the exhibition, one of the "bloody" shirts was removed but the rest of the exhibition is apparently still there.

oh

OH

1A double fucked

interesting

Having trouble finding objective information on it though.

https://www.facebook.com/degenderettes/ they have their own post on it as well.

zhey have zheir?

forgot about that

not much drama there that I've seen

Right. Isolated community,rather than the publicly funded institution, so that makes sense.

was just finishing up watching the Timcast from tonight....I think that there is definitely a difference between Left and Liberals...just my 2 cents

Left is near opposite to 'liberal values'

yeah the left now isn't liberal but still attempt to cloak themselves using the liberal label which is why people have been using centerist and other labels

Classical liberal is pretty much current conservatism

Liberalist

The pool's getting dirty.
