  • Yellow Peril: Are you gonna liberate us…,

    Sorry Russell, I felt bad after posting that and I appreciate your comments. I suppose I'd had a stressout day and I was surprised you read your comments because you aren't normally like that from what I've read. But if you meant them as a friend to Tze and by way of moderation then who am I to say. She's a big girl and she probably knows where you were coming from. It's surprising how much more involved with the conversation you get when you comment instead of just observe!
    "Throwing shit" is maybe over-reacting but I am still surprised at the strength of some of the objections. I think they are disproportionate but maybe I'm over sensitive considering the topic.
    So to move on to lighter things "Cactus Kate and Lucyna". Very light, pretty stupid, very unimaginative and dull. I guess that is why I like reading Tze as one of the few women on the scene who call a spade a spade (but not in that way) but who does it with some style and wit.

    Sheeesh, I can't believe how this thread has degenerated.
    Any of the precious and offended notice the title? Yellow Peril. I think that implies that references to ethnicity via colour are meant with just a little bit of mirth and irony.
    Steven if you want to throw yourself in the middle of something to argue your point in an aggressive and direct manner, don’t be surprised if people return the favour, and don’t suddenly get upset if not everyone praises your magnificent contributions.
    Russell I would have thought that if you couldn’t manage loyalty to other contributors you might at least but out. I have a lot of respect for your journalism but your judgement in some your comments on this thread is way off.
    The course of this conversation has really proved Tze's points regarding the disproportionate amount of shit thrown at female commentators, especially if they aren’t also white and dare to challenge white men. I doubt she would feel particularly vindicated or pleased though. I only hope she does continue to make more submissions. I doubt I will.

    OK Tze you have convinced me. Time to start commenting and not just watching from the wings.
