BFI appoint Munroe Bergdorf as keynote speaker for #womanwithacamera summit

[SunsetBeetch]

This is just getting flipping ridiculous now. Munroe has made one very recent, very shoddy documentary.

Thrilled to be opening the @BFI #WomanWithAMovieCamera Summit to talk about feminism, power and culture.

I think they fell for it. They thought they were booking #sobrave and they will now know what we have been saying - they booked #specialsnowflake. Those two things are very different - even if you're professionally woke.

I don't know. That's logical but there's a lot of doublethink out there.

I think the #sobrave thing will still be applied for admiration, but now with an added "everyone has their limits" angle for sympathy.

There'll be some interview momentum of out "being bullied". Perhaps mentions of secret death threats and suicidal thoughts (although I sincerely hope neither is true).

Then it's a chance for someone else to book, announce it clearly and early and making it clear there's no negotiation, making a big PR fuss around "Look at us! We're the good guys, fighting the bigots!"

They'll then get attention online from critics (no publicity is bad publicity) and woke points from allies.

I hope I'm wrong though; partly for MB's sake too, no human should be used as a pawn in this way.
