Before 3 days ago, how many times have ANY of these people posted about or reported on the missing indigenous people in Wyoming? Guarantee for the vast majority of these people, it's 0.
Don't get me wrong, it absolutely should be talked about. And I guess the one silver lining (if there is one) from this whole thing is that maybe it will get people to take it more seriously. Taking the energy put into this case and applying it to the hundreds of others is a good thing.
But the manner in which many people have brought it up is virtue signaling in the worst way. They had no idea about the indigenous people 4 days ago and had no desire to ever learn about it. Now suddenly there's posts everywhere saying "WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS WHEN THERES HUNDREDS OF MISSING INDIGENOUS PEOPLE? MISSING WHITE WOMAN SYNDROME HUR HUR HUR" The worst is Joy Reid, bitching about the media coverage about this case. Idiot, you are the media. How many stories have YOU run on the indigenous people missing?
It's fucking disgusting.
