I’ve been busy this weekend and was hoping to come back to some drama but I think that the way Jack is ‘dealing’ with this really shows her lack of respect for her followers.
It’s like she doesn’t even give a tit, she’s not trying to defend herself. I know it’s very narc like to feel untouchable but this is just ridiculous.
What’s she even going to do now?
She’s going to ignore it, and hope it goes away. What other realistic choice does she have that is acceptable to her? I’ll imagine that it might even seem to her, and to anyone expecting a “MY NAME IS MAXIMUS DECIMUS MERIDIUS” (I’m really old) style denouement that it might seem as if it does go away. Nothing gigantic and immediate is suddenly going to happen, nor ever was.
She’s definitely done a big tip jar rattle for the last time without huge pushback tho (I have to say that it still wouldn’t be surprising to see one final shameless successful ‘crowdfund a house’ push, however).
I think the story of Jack Monroe is, as it ever was, going to be a bigger salutary tale of how largely irrelevant latter day snake-oil salesperson con artists were able to make a fortune because in the wild west early days of blogging, unfettered social media, and traditional media scrambling to keep up, there they were, by accident rather than design.
Those days are not quite yet here for Jack, but I think sharks she can’t even see are sensing that blood in the water. Not that it’s even of interest to her while she’s still risibly focused on the wrong spite-and-slop filled picture.
Detached from all of her day to day nonsense, she’s pathetically small fry, yet she and the factors that enabled her and continue to do so are a fascinating case study for a maverick journalist, blogger or even non-honorary PhD student.
All that said, I wish she’d stop attempting to bleeping cook, STFU, and stop pretending to care for children animals in the meantime. Not necessarily in that order, either.
