Summary of the day's rollercoaster drama since Katherine has locked and it is hard for readers to piece together Preface: 3 days ago Katherine tweets photo in front of a rothko. The tweet goes micro-viral, leading to rothko and girl-in-front-of-object discourse—
Act 1: A fellow named Ivan sees above tweet and realizes he spoke to Katherine that day. He DMs her and tries to start up a conversation She responds by trying to publicly humiliate him, in her words to cause a ‘public reckoning’ for Ivan
Act 2: The replies and QTs responding to this attack on Ivan unanimously criticize Katherine as the bad guy. Daniel tells her to delete her account She doubles down, insulting Ivan again, and saying he is not her intellectual peer “💅💅💅”
Act 3: People realize Ivan is a lead researcher at Midjourney, while Katherine got a PhD from an unaccredited university and her dissertation isn’t even available to read Turns out she was right, she is not in the same league as Ivan This embarrassment causes her to lock fin
@BecomingCritter Women are so used to swiping left they never even consider the world they leave behind because of easy, frictionless rejection that they have embraced.
@Kyle_Beckley well put
@BecomingCritter Posting screencaps after she locked feels kinda like posting dms without permission to me
@br___ian that’s because you’re not very smart. i’m sorry that you had to find out this way
@BecomingCritter Thanks! It’s pretty cool that Ivan is actually a super AI Dev-engineer. This “Katherine the Rothko lover” is such an entitled bitch. Spurned a man who is worth tens of millions.
@cglassey_author she graduated from a school called the european graduate school
@BecomingCritter nice summary embarrassing to say the least
@tawnniee thanks!
