The Lion, The Witch, and the Audacity of This Bitch
In a Newsweek essay, Amy Cooper says her actions were driven by “panic and vulnerability” and blames the Black man she accosted for the incident.
She doesn’t have the humility to admit she made a mistake, blames everyone else but herself, and then expects to talk it out with the guy she did this to? He has no reason to accommodate her.
And employers see though this too. She’s not having trouble finding a job because of cancel culture, she’s having trouble because employers realize how little self awareness she has, and she doesn’t realize that her actions since the incident are making it all even worse.
Using the phrase cancel culture is such a self report about the speaker. Frankly I find it really useful, especially in the world of dating apps.
It is a wonderful red flag just everywhere. I’ve seen it on LinkedIn, social media, and of course bumper stickers. What a great way to let me know that I don’t need to have a conversation with you ever.

She’s an hr nightmare
Stupid Cunt.
All she had to do was apologize, say it was a misunderstanding, and walk she and her poor dog away. She could have just stood still and asked politely to be left alone. She could have given a good ol’ New York “PISS AWWFFF”.
She had a lot of options.
I understand maybe being a little startled in the moment, but she absolutely owns the reaction. Any reasonable person should have realized once the phone was pulled out to film the interaction that maybe it was time to chill.
Exactly. We all saw the video. Now there could have been so mething before hand, but somehow I doubt the birdwatcher came up to her and threatened her the way she’s claiming. The way she’s sounding he just marched up on her and started threatening her. Doubt
“I was a female, alone in a secluded area of Central Park, with a man yelling at me and threatening me,” she wrote.
Christian…said, “Look, if you’re going to do what you want, I’m going to do what I want, but you’re not going to like it”, and beckoned the dog toward him with a dog treat.
She didn’t know what he was going to do to the dog or what he was feeding it, so I can see feeling threatened by the interaction. It’s still her fault for clear racial emphasis on her police call, and for disobeying the leash law in the first place. It’s hard to feel sorry for her if she can’t seem to understand her mistake, but at the same time I’ve read the reddit comments and can’t imagine what kind of hate she probably received, maybe still does, and not being able to hold a job over it is a lot. Situation sucks.
Christian apparently got his own bird watching show by National Geographic, so that’s nice.
