i’m gonna say it once + also again + a lot more: claire saffitz said something outside of insta. she talked about the ba mess in every one of her cameos + instalives + many interviews. she also left. do your research. a person’s full character does not an insta acct reflect.

for the people still harping on timing: i also would’ve taken that long to write shit bc it takes me a while to find the right words and god fuck did you have to choose your words wisely, especially there.

also, the woman is not socials savvy so appropriate post time/social sphere having its own timeline outside of real time is hard to pick up. there’s a whole bunch of shit to take into acct + the fact that many of her bpoc colleagues still back her is a testament to her character.

blah blah blah blah blah stop being dicks, do your research, if she really didn’t say/do shit then i would’ve hopped off her train months ago (as much as it would’ve pained me).

Guess I should also add that TV appearances for chefs/bakers/cooks are typically short on time (3-5min usually); it’s 96% rushed demo + 4% allowance for plugging. Unless the network/show rlly wants to ask about the BA/food mag/food world reckoning, it won’t be talked about on TV.

If it’s a sit down interview and not a demo, it still usually tracks this way. The interview is short, 96% is baking questions/host is a bad cook or bad baker banter, and 4% plugging.

All of her movements and statements cover the same shit everyone else’s did and I’m not sure what more you want from her? These people didn’t ask to be celebrities? The navigation of this space has to be so tactical and these kids don’t have the grace yet.

If you’re trying to get mad at somebody, perhaps it shouldn’t be her? I think that anger is misdirected out of guilt for the viewer not catching on sooner + I think the hostility toward Claire is bc of that supercut tempering video, all of which I address in this twitter essay: https://twitter.com/dulceayee/status/1271217755866271744

there’s also this essay for clarification on what I’m referring to when I say “cancel culture”: https://twitter.com/dulceayee/status/1275623839263633408

ok bye i think i’m done with this thread essay now be well do ur research maybe i’ll do another one of these if any new info comes out wear a mask tpwk u know the drill
