Not throwing shade on this article as I don't know anything about PG or Jessica, but I couldn't help but be reminded of my current favorite satirical Twitter account: https://twitter.com/VCBrags https://twitter.com/VCBrags

  Give me a break. VCBrags is harmless fun. It's absolutely absurd that anyone could think that clapping emojis are harassment. In fact, VCBrags recently almost shut down. And I think this blog post is one of the many examples of bullying that led to that kind of decision. And yes, there should be reputational consequences for this behavior. Nobody needs to be fired, I'm not advocating for that, but bad-faith critics of the tech industry and those who work in it should be identified and ignored. Seriously? The world would be a worse place if people listen to this person. It's clapping emojis, for heaven's sake. I also love how people who advocate for deplatforming someone pull the "Oh no, I would never advocate they be fired. No way!" act. It's such transparent sophistry. Ugh. Enough internet for me today. Back to work.

      Yeah, I figured as much, but this kind of vitriol has been leveled at them for so long that whether it's this particular blog post is irrelevant. People have it out for this person. This blog post is also literally a personal attack, which is against the site guidelines, for what it's worth. (It targets one specific person, which is partly why it's so upsetting. Don't people have better things to do than to write defamatory posts about someone posting clapping emojis? Go build something!)
