Hurricane Katrina? Did the writer out walk it? (That's the first thing that came to my mind but I don't remember if the person that made the comment was a writer.)

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, this is about that particular writer. I was recced their most famous fic, liked it, and then learned about the Katrina incident later.

What happened??

Oh, are you the one writing the movie rewrites? I heard someone recced me on there so I'm guessing that's you. In that case, contact me privately because I'd like to discuss what's happened in the last 11 years.

My email is cammycommando@yahoo.com and I honestly would like to hear from you. I liked your fic too (provided you are in fact the person); someone showed it to me and it was really good, and that people still carry this around after 11 years just confuses me. I'm not being a troll or anything--I'm seriously confused as to why people continue to drag this out when I've apologized multiple times and have changed greatly as a person.

So please, talk to me and we'll discuss this. I'm a very different person now. I understand why all of this is upsetting, but I no longer feel the way I did then.

Wait, what? Somebody...what?

[(Anonymous)]

Right after Hurricane Katrina, the person referred to in the secret--a semi-BNF in her fandom--got a lot of well-deserved flak for saying that she had no sympathy for the people who were trapped in NOLA (and worse, in the stadium) because they had ample warning and could have gotten out of the city had they chosen to do so.

When it was pointed out to her that many of them had no cars, she insisted that they could have walked. No amount of explaining that the path of a hurricane is both extremely wide and extremely unpredictable, and that New Orleans is surrounded by swamps full of alligators and water moccasins where the water would be rapidly rising, would convince her that she was wrong.

As for people who had dependent small children, or elderly parents, whom they couldn't leave--they should have abandoned them! "It's called survival of the fittest!"

There was also some sort of nonsense about how it was their own fault if they didn't know how to live off the land, because she had got lost on a hike and she killed a pigeon with a stick or something.

I believe the person in question is on the autism spectrum, but it's possible to be autistic and also a horrible excuse for a human being.

Oh, yeah, someone wound up providing a link down below. But thank you anon! :)

It was 11 years ago, I've apologized multiple times, as well as provided examples of how a mass evacuation could have happened (school buses, for instance). Why people insist on dragging that dead horse out of the grave is beyond me.

[(Anonymous)]

"out walk?" Huh? Who is this about?

I didn't realize she had been the one. I expected better from her.
