Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of it either to be completely honest, but then again, I have some history with bad Christians (i.e. the kind of people who use their religion to justify bigotry and bullying, not the ones who believe in love and forgiveness, etc.) and I'm aware that it still colours my feelings a bit. It would be interesting to see a Christian perspective on the story, however, and I did think the bunnies were cute.
It also didn't sit well with me that there were such parallels with social media 'cancel culture' (that bird app must have represented twitter, right?), as, for the last few years, many of the people I've seen complaining about that, and the fact that they aren't allowed to say what they want, haven't so much been complaining about government censorship and surveillance, as they have been that they aren't allowed to say racist, homophobic etc. things without consequences anymore. Government censorship and surveillance is a very serious problem in many parts of the world and absolutely needs to be talked about, but it is not the same thing as losing individual followers because you said something offensive. Dunno, I guess combining them this way felt to me like trying to make getting 'cancelled' as much of an issue as actual authoritarian governments controlling their citizens. This may not be what Minna was going for, and I agree with Bunnies that the Emil incident probably influenced her feelings on cancel culture, but it still felt very uncomfortable to read. Anyway, I might be reading into this too much, but I am bone tired of telling people not to insult my friends and family (as well as all POC and LGBT+ people obvz) only to have them complain about how attacked they are, and reading this is just making me more tired.
