It has been really interesting reading the replies and, believe it or not, the outrage expressed about ILJ's actions is something I do share.
My question about being too hard on her was not about the exposing of information, nor the memes, nor the rampant mockery (all of which are a-okay for a fun gal like ILJ) but the reddit-esque calls to action and the endless moralizing.
Maybe I'm just too much of a bleeding-heart liberal, but the more I hear about ILJ the more I believe that while she, like CWC, had no business being part of society, the question of how responsible she is for her actions means that she should be pitied rather than hated, and treated as a retard-nutcase rather than someone who is intentionally evil.
Sympathy for ILJ doesn't mean no sympathy for her victims, they deserve so much more, but it does mean that we should perhaps feel a little sad that another human life is wasted, and that the people who were supposed to have nurtured her to adulthood have, at best, neglected her psychological interests, and at worst actively abused her. That doesn't mean she should not be held responsible, just that the whole thing is kind of a tragedy.
These are exactly the kind of posts I've made about CWC, so it's not a case of simping...unless you're going to accuse me of chasing some sweet un-clit, but just reflecting my belief that if more young people were in hospital then less older people would end up in prison.
