1/ Over the past few weeks I've been thinking more about "public persona" - how careful should I be with it? How filtered? When the bestiality tweet went viral, literally thousands of people assumed I'm a dog fucker instead of realizing I'm a researcher who asks weird questions.

2/this is a bit scary, cause the thing I have to be afraid of isn't truth, it's weaponized narratives carried by people who don't like me and don't care about my actual opinions. The question then becomes, how much should I filter my speech to avoid handing weapons to the enemy?

3/And of course I'm not discounting the practical use of self censorship to avoid stuff like having five thousand people call you a dog fucker, but it does go against a lot of what I value. I want to be uncensored, I want to be as vulnerable as possible as publicly as possible.

4/I want to be a shameless human who freely offers up the weapons other people can use to throw at me, because that's their choice and not mine. My choice is just to demonstrate the lack of self judgement that I generally feel, and by implication lack of judgement for all

5/those people and beliefs around me too (I'm still working on astrology pls give that one time). I feel generally capable of being eviscerated, so I want to allow myself to be eviscerated. It's just the internet doing what the internet does.

6/so while I can't promise i won't self censor a little, I'm always pushing towards less self censorship.

When trying to monopolize a niche or break into one, ALWAYS double down on your quirks, interests, even mistakes. "Be yourself" is cliche, but it's the answer here. They actually think you fuck dogs? Build on that shit! Make it weird!
Ask yourself, "what would @visakanv do?" 😄

I loved that tweet because it outed a TON of people who's cognition is broken - they assume a question is a defense.

She has already alluded to being uncancellable though. She most likely will never have a normal job where any of this behavior can get her fired.
