Yes, Erin Biba writing a story that didn’t exist until she trolled Elon Musk and his followers is super brave.
Really?
.@erinbiba has done something incredibly brave. She's documented what happens when female journalists dare to question Elon Musk. https://t.co/B9H6KKFJxU

From The Daily Beast (sorry!):
Female journalists who cover Elon Musk have the same personal rule: Mention his name on Twitter at your peril.
That’s because there is an army—mostly young, mostly white, almost entirely men—that marches behind him. These MuskBros, as we call them, make it their mission to descend on women who criticize Musk, and tear them to pieces. I know, because it has happened to me. More than once.
Hrm. Alrighty then.
This editor, who happens to be female, has mentioned Elon’s name plenty of times and gosh, no peril here.
*shrug*
You’ve done something incredibly dishonest by supporting a journo who falsely stated that I’m against science, then cherrypicked tweets that don’t represent the vast majority of my followers to make false claims against them too

But she’s brave and stuff!
She says so.

Wait, what?
She claims she gave him the benefit of the doubt in her piece?
SERIOUSLY?! After she trolled Elon and his followers …
She didn’t cherry pick eh?
Incredibly passive-aggressive attempt to pin the actions of others on @elonmusk. Actions that Ms. Biba provoked and cultivated in an effort to discredit someone she doesn’t like.
Peak journalism, making yourself the story. https://t.co/n2JuhOz1oQ— Tryx™️? (@Tryxt3rocks) May 29, 2018
She picked a fight and then wrote an article crying about it?
No way.
Really?
Color us shocked.

So not only did she pick fights, she went out of her way to frame the story from the get-go as some sort of attack on female journos.
This is dirty pool, Erin.
But she knows that.
She also blocks people who question her.
Just sayin’.
Twitter Victimhood Playbook:
Bash someone in your tweetsWait for response
Delete previous tweets of you bashing them
Cry outrage that you are being unfairly attacked by people calling out your hypocrisy.

Create a story then pretend you’re brave for writing it.
We see you, Erin.
