She did a fundraiser for Palestine and they told her that she didn’t give a shit about Palestinian children.

Now people who have no idea what BlockOut is are just seeing Miss Rachel crying and saying shit like, “who made my coparent cry?” and “we ride at dawn” and those videos are getting more views than her fundraiser did.

JFC, I assume these blockout losers are a bunch of piece of shit radlibs that wouldn’t know real activism if I beat them over the head with it?

We should never punish someone for using their platform to advocate for the end of a genocide. They do so at a great personal cost, as being anti genocide is actually a controversial position (as insane as that sounds and is).

Updated that it was Zionists bullying her. I saw some stray comments and thought it was representative but it’s largely Zionists giving her backlash for the fundraiser.

The block out is liberal activism anyway

I basically disagree, cultural boycotts are part of BDS. Support for israel has to become radioactive. People need to know that if they publicly support israel there is a significant proportion of the population that will not talk to them again.

It’s reminded me that people’s definition of “celebrity” is very flexible.

Miss Rachel is a kids content creator. Like if Blippi was a speech pathologist instead of an advertising guy. Her stuff’s pretty high quality and wholesome on top of not being super annoying like so much kids content

Yeah, I don’t think knowing about Ms. Rachel is an online thing, it’s more of an “I have young kids” thing.

She did a fundraiser for Palestine and they told her it was too little too late and that she didn’t give a shit about Palestinian children.

A kids content creator using their platform to fundraise for a worthy cause that is (though wrongly,) seen as highly controversial and political is great. Its not revolutionary, but its productive and its normalizing in a way that politics-focused people speaking out is not. Why the hell was she being harassed?

I’m guessing BlockOut is one of those Front groups to make pro-palestinian supporters look incredibly annoying to laymen, like PETA.

It’s not a formal group so much as a couple prominent people giving guidelines of action to an amorphous blob of people. Y’know, internet activism.

PETA is not a front group to make animal rights activists look annoying to laypeople. For evidence of this I point to the reaction of comrades on this website when they are confronted by the numerous animal rights activists also on this website. The problem lies not with the people advocating for the rights of animals. Carnists know their position is untenable so the only thing they can muster is a vague manufactured “annoyance” group hug to reassure each other they don’t actually have to rethink anything.

I think they make mistakes, but are overall effective at bringing animal rights issues to the masses. Interested in hearing why you have that opinion.
