Has she done problematic shit or something? I thought it was just the obnoxious blonde lady who was a dictionary corner bigot.

Oh no! what has she done that's bigoted? (I did a quick search and couldn't find anything).

I enjoy her word nerdery so I'd be disappointed to find out she's iffy.

The obnoxious dictionary corner blonde is Rachel Riley, who very much is problematic.

As far as I can tell,Susie D is A OK, but that commenter may know stuff we don't or idk, just doesn't like her or something.
