To be honest, I have not watched this Taylor Lorenz video yet, but this thumbnail is really giving this meme:
White women gonna white, white leftists gonna white, unfortunately 🤷🏻♀️
And for the love of god, Taylor Lorenz needs to fucking stop platforming conservative influencers who are fresh out of leaving MAGA or the Right. Esp when they have yet to do the fucking work. First that transphobic gay influencer? Now Ashley St Clair, who dated Elon Musk and previously spouted transphobia and covid misinformation?? Fuck off.
And of course, Taylor Lorenz's buddy, Matt Bernstein, would interview Ashley St Clair as well. Can you imagine if white leftists with platforms use those platforms to spread more awareness for community organisers and activists instead of platforming former rightwingers who have only begun their journey to deradicalisation?
One day after I quit my job, I will have time to dedicate a full length essay on why Taylor Lorenz, as a White lady in lefty content creator spaces, has been giving me the ick since 2025 😑
Criticism about her Dark Money WIRED article:

Criticism about her Chinamaxxing video by Emma Chang-Kredl:
And she's now appeared Shaji Sharma's recent video about looksmaxxing. I think it's scary how a lot of leftist creators are treating her like she's someone with credibility. Like, I just think it's scary that we are just assuming a creator with a platform and a following with credibility.
And now she's literally on Instagram picking fights with a Palestinian content creator with cerebral palsy. Basically, this is a disabled Palestinian creator who was interviewed and she said that the future of Palestine is disabled (which is correct and I think Jasbir Puar talks about this in her book, The Right to Maim). And Lorenz went into that interview's comment section, accusing the Palestinian lady of not actually caring about disabled Palestinians in Gaza and whitesplaining to her Palestinian genocide... becos the Palestinian woman wasn't wearing a mask in the interview 🤡
Allies of the Free Palestine movement need to be more and stop putting non-Palestinian allies on a pedestal, and to look out for white saviors in the movement.
God bless Tirrrb 🙌🏻
People also don't talk about how her dumbass Wired article also threw a bunch of smaller Black creators under the bus as well.
Also Black women's responses to Taylor Lorenz's and her friend, Kat Tenbarge's, infantilisation of Grimes on a Matt Bernstein's video:
She's still on her bullshit crusade against Maysoon Zayid, zero self-awareness that she's exactly the type of leftist she's calling out. White liberal women persecution complex and perpetual victimhood 🤡
"The whole thing makes me wary to engage in leftist Internet spaces again" reeks of white "ally" who stops being an ally becos Black and Brown people were "mean" to her. Give it a year, she will become a rightwing crank with the Nazis she's nicer to.
"Pple make up a lot of weird lies about me bc they don't personally like me," except that you literally have a history of accusing Black and Brown content creators of untrue shit, opening them up to harassment. And then you have the audacity to turn around and claim persecution when these Black and Brown content creators call you out.
