An exploration of call-out culture. I like what it’s trying to discuss, but it feels lacking. I wish there’s more perspective to this instead of one-sidedly discussing the toxicity of the culture... to also look at how it can actually reinforce social movements. And I like to think that people can be given 2nd chances especially after being educated about the subject matter, but to what extent? Because I think some things are just unacceptable and unforgivable. Should we be humanizing every “victim” of call-out culture? I don’t think so

I don’t even know where to begin with this one. I can’t believe I finished this book. I can’t even with this book. Full review to come when I’m done picking up the pieces of my brain after it exploded from reading this book.
