Kelly Marie Tran spoke out on the New York Times about her experiences with online harassment. I wanted to mention it as a follow-up because her experience was part of the reason I wrote the ‘toxic fan’ piece the other day.
Toxicity in scifi is more than just ‘you suck, lol,’ It has real-world ramifications for creative people that need to be addressed if we want our genre to survive and thrive.
I’m very proud of Loan for speaking out, and I hope you take a moment to listen to her today.
