The Crabapple piece in Vice that
copliker posted upthread is the most revealing as to her friendship with this Weev creature:
"I didn't go there to write an article. I went because his conviction was wrong, and my friends and I cared for him. I meant to be another body filling the courtroom, to provide whatever support that's good for. "
"Official internet asshole or not, Weev inspires ride-or-die love."
He's so
loveable! She sounds like a fucking Mitford sister.
""Hail, Eris," he yelled as the guards led him away. If this were a movie, here's where the crowd would have raised their fists in unison.
We are Weev. We are Spartacus. A few did raise their fists. But the rest stood as if slapped silent. The black-haired girl doubled over with hard, ugly sobs. "
The
hard, ugly sobs bit is straight out of the Penny book of faux-profundity...
