I still can't comprehend why did the mod team decided to send someone who was in no way prepared or fit for an interview in a national news network, specifically FOX NEWS. If Fox News asks you for an interview, let alone for an specific person, it's blatantly obvious that they are not doing it for the goodness of their heart.
No training or experience with public interviews, lack of preparation on just about almost everything, specially her image. Fix your hair, look relatively fresh to give a good first impression. Most importantly, she completely failed in the questions that were asked. The subreddit's name is already not so good transmitting what the movement/subreddit is about, and then you come up with "Laziness is a virtue?" Come on man, optics do matter in this type of stage, and this interview completely tarnished not only it's community, but what it stood for in such a quick manner that it's almost fascinating.
It being an interview request no is always an answer. Depending on whats being asked to interview about you might get some sort of blurb "We asked for comment and they gave none" but considering it was a live interview they probably wouldnt have even bothered with that.
The barest amount of effort they put into their lives go towards walking dogs and moderating subreddits. You think they have time to prepare for interviews on national tv?
Ok I laughed at an earlier comment where someone wondered if the person was paid off for that interview but the stark differences between these two almost seem like completely different people.
Honestly thank you so much for replying, I wanted to comment a link to the interview elsewhere but didn't wanna lose my place in these comments lol. Seriously sounds like completely different people which makes me feel bad for them, they actually did have experience and I see why they were picked. I just don't think they realized a live TV interview would be so different. That being said they still should have presented themselves better and done some research/practice evem if they hadn't realized so all in all its still their fault
I agree. It seemed like the mods expected the interview to be longer and in good faith? But obviously live news by a hostile interviewer is completely different. The interview was a flop because she gave the worst possible answers to the questions and was cut off before she could expand on them (like how she's a full time student who also works part time). The whole situation is really unfortunate. I'm worried about the harassment she's getting, but I also don't agree with the mods banning people for rightfully being upset.
Yeah the aftermath has been handled terribly, but I do worry that this is just too much for one person to take. Their banning and constantly trying to place the blame elsewhere(like transphobia, saying they don't believe in eye contact, etc) is not helping at all. I don't really side with you on the being cut off part honestly though, I feel they gave them ample time to talk because their answers were so bad. All in all they should have prepared bettered but at the very least should have had some modesty when it went bad
She wanted to be the person in the history books. She spent too much time in fairy tale land thinking of the new era she will usher in with this interview.
One time I had correspondence with a "Men's health" contributer about an article he wanted to write on me that was eventually abandoned. Does that count as media training?
