The Backlash Against Marie Kondo of Netflix’s ‘Tidying Up’
- arcticwombat 8y agoThis is a good article, highlighting what's going on. I like the show, I've no idea why people are so obsessed with throwing crap at her.
- gerbilly 8y agoMe neither, the thing that seems to be unique with Marie Kondo, is that she encourages people to bring a spiritual dimension to their relationship with objects. You may not agree with that perspective, but to me it's a nice change from the other de-cluttering consultants.
- arcticwombat 8y agoI do like that, actually.
- towaway1138 8y agoSeems less about racism than women crapping on her. (I think her show is interesting and pleasant.)
- CREwert 8y agoThe articles point is that most of the crapping has a strong racist flavor. Which sounds plausible, if not yet statistically demonstrated. Certainly there are plenty of closet racists and 1/2 racists being drawn out by Ms Kondo.
- towaway1138 8y agoMy opinion is that people reach for whatever stick is handy when they want to be cruel to someone. Often it's gender, race, appearance, etc. But that's not racism--it's being an asshole. Racism is "I won't watch your show because you're Japanese."
