    I look down on anonymous criticism of great artists. I look down on membership in the outrage mob. I look down on that damnable mediocrity and pettiness.

    Perhaps you misread.

      Lemmy is not an anonymous community, it’s pseudonymous. It also doesn’t take a literary genius, merely someone with a healthy amount of empathy, to understand that treating someone with hatred for an immutable characteristic is bigoted and wrong. I don’t believe that to be an outrageous opinion.

      Perhaps it is you that is mediocre and petty.
