Lest We Forget.
So Wendy Cheng's back. So she and her fans STILL think it's not fair for others to criticise her for blogging her own honest, uncensored opinions.
Well, I'm just curious if her fans even bother reading her stuff, because the following is from the horse's mouth--yes, words from the so-called text goddess herself...
"1) Why do you write about Fiona? She never did anything to you.
Let's go beyond the petty issue of her having bigger tits and a wispier voice then me. The issue here is not "Why?", but "Why not?".Why do writers write? To express an opinion. "Oh," but you exclaim. "When your opinion might hurt others, you should think twice Xiaxue!"Bullshit. Let me repeat that in a larger font: BULLSHIT. First off, as I mentioned, writing anything can hurt anyone....
My fault?
I don't think so. With this logic of "not harming" others in writing, no one can be objective in their writings anymore.Have you ever trashed a movie? Ever thought of the director's feelings if he hears you? What if .. oh no! ... he decides to close down his blog after what you said about his movie and never direct again?
Can I roll my eyes now in a completely rude manner? I think I shall. *roll eyes*
It is not about Fiona Xie never doing anything to me. It's about her doing something I disagree with. So I comment. If she didn't want anyone to comment, then don't write anything in the blogosphere! You have a right to love her literary works; and I have a right not to. Simple as that."
A case of double-standards, perhaps? =)

Wooo, double standard indeed. And I seem to remember her saying that Arab women don't read her site and they don't care what she says about them so she can just trash them however she feels like it.
And what about that "Malay f**ker" and pig business?
Aren't all that seditious???

It's all VERY seditious coming from a high-profile blogger like her. I think she took those phrases down btw. Did she?

Yup, she did. As they say, "kill the chicken to scare the monkey". =)

Fact is, it's too hard to ignore her lately, especially with her being in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. =)

Kudos on the well written pieces:)
Yawns*, were you missing in line when brains were being handed out? If the comments were deleted by the blog's owner, it wouldn't show at all. The comments were removed by the author of the comments themselves.

I don`t necessarily see calling someone a Malay (or whatever) fucker as racist. Insulting Malays by mentioning pigs isn`t racist either. It`s just insulting. Most Malays and/or Muslims dislike pigs is all. It`s rude and probably hurtful to most but racist?
At Samstag, September 17, 2005 10:08:00 PM, AG said…
racist
adj 1: based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks"
Well. insulting a malay/muslim with a pig smacks of racism to me.
why of all animals a pig? why not a giraffe at first?
she knows muslims aren't supposed to touch pigs - and she wants to smack them with it.
if it isn't racism, nothing is.
btw, to yawns* :
I DELETED THAT COMMENT LAH.
