This week in Fragility

The fragility of cisgender heterosexuals continues to astonish me. The week’s not even over and we’ve seen:

• French fans of Michael Jackson suing the people who came forward with their witness to their abuse at the hands of Jackson, because this ‘sullied the image’ of Jackson
• White women pitching a fit on social media because a Black woman has been cast as Ariel in the remake of Little Mermaid; this is probably a good time to shop for a copy of the VHS tape if you’re in the market
• The industry association for UK ISPs declaring Mozilla an “internet villian” for their work on DNS via HTTPS (Disclaimer: I work at Mozilla, and can’t stop laughing.)
