Are you just extrapolating assumptions here? Because you're saying a lot that hasn't been said.
E.g.
> An example of how some people are so triggered by advocacy groups (in this case PETA) that it just takes a slight economic misfortune to bring out the guns?
They said she was a vegan activist [1], not part of PETA.
> An example of how when the shooter is a woman she is not really demonized the way guys are (even when being an immigrant)?
Where did it say she's an immigrant? Her parents maybe.
[1] I really hope the media doesn't spin the vegan part.
- stareatgoats 9y agoYes, those are just assumptions more or less, although I'm guessing all those points could be valid aspects of the narrative. Primarily it's just annoying that a complex situation is condensed down to "it's because her videos were 'de-monetized'". It seems you take offense with me singling out the PETA connection however. But it was just an example of how certain advocacy groups are not afraid to stir up hate, PETA is not alone there. I honestly do think it needs to be included in the analysis of these shootings however, but as I said in the original post, not as a single explaining factor and finally; not sure at this point if it is really applicable here.
- spraak 9y agoOK, I understand you more now, and I agree it seems more complex than just being angry about de-monetization. However I don't think it's specifically helpful to imaginatively enumerate what the other underlying reasons are. And finally no, I don't care about PETA. I am personally a vegan and get annoyed when all vegans are seen as one, crazy group, but no, I have no connection to PETA.
