How is it "performative", when Rooney will lose UK royalties as a result? Should authors not have opinions, not express those opinions, and not act on those opinions? Or are those opinions only acceptable if Clanchy agrees with them?
@nateo.bsky.socialClanchy says Rooney's decision is 'performative', in a 'performative sphere, where we enact virtue plays', a 'purity spiral, which I [Clanchy] was caught up in', 'we're not supposed to be a bunch of priests' (what does any of that mean? how do these two things relate?) bsky.app/profile/alic...
