A nice way for the most successful professional writer to gain some more attention at the tail end of when everyone’s still at home. It’s possible that no part of what she wrote represents any of her actual beliefs. I think she probably knew what she was doing, consciously or unconsciously.
It's easy to claim that someone is doing something for attention when what they say draws attention.Originally Posted by sbbds
If you’re famous and have various social media outlets, that’s basically what is going to happen. She doesn’t have to use social media. Some celebrities are private and politically silent. Unless she’s incredibly naive/stupid (unlikely), it was a conscious choice taken.
But that doesn't mean she was doing it "for attention." She could be trying to use her platform to root for stuff she cares about -- what she believes to be positive social change. That isn't the same as doing something for attention.
That’s true but she should know to expect that’s also going to happen. The result is that she’s going to have a spotlight directed at her, and she almost certainly is aware of that. Even if it wasn’t her main goal, it’s such a huge aspect of the fallout that it’s pointless to ignore it having some role.
Unless she’s completely thoughtless and not socially aware. But I don’t think that’s the case.
