To keep out bad actors, it's very important to have an accurate model of what those bad actors are like and how to recognize them. The correct word for this is not "rock star", it's "psychopath". Equating the term "rock star" with bad actors is not going to accurately guide people's attention where it needs to go; instead, it'll lead to attacks on honest people who happen to have accumulated prestige. Those are the very people who have the ability to spot and push out the psychopaths. But if they're forced into conflict with feminists, they won't be doing that.
- dragonwriter 10y ago"Rock star" isn't a description of what a bad actor looks like, but it is a description of treatment of people who have high performance on one axis which empowers those that happen to be bad actors in manners unrelated to that axis and disempowers their victims. Keeping out bad actors is desirable, but never going to be 100%. Avoiding creating the power dynamic which enables abusers to flourish is also important.
