@gabe okay but what's the alternative? if your movement is 'let's not have any celebreties, ever', you won't have a movement

1@lain that's definitely a fair point. I think it's also fair to argue that most "movements" are controlled and astroturfed to a large degree so it's an open question how useful participation even is.
I do think it's healthy to recognise the limits of 'e-celebs'. Polly is mostly trying to push back against the naive newbies who haven't yet clued into the grifting and corruption in alt media.
