    "I want to be very direct with you. I don’t hate the Grove. I don’t want to shut it down. I do, however, wish the Grove were just a little bit more self-aware"

    This is one of the more yellow-bellied things I've seen. The way she talks it's like you could never take her concerns seriously because all she does is undercut herself and try to ingratiate the oppressor. I swear some liberals have a thing for humiliation, and they get their kicks doing shit like this
