Summary:
1. Yashica: Y'all copied the story from my book "Coming Out as Dalit". I demand credit! 😭
2. Creators: Not just you. Many have written on it. Sumit, Suraj Yengde etc. 😒
3. Neeraj Ghaywan: No credit needed. "Coming out" is an old term and Sumit wrote a popular article on coming out as a queer Dalit way before your book. 🤣🤡 Also, Pallavi Menke herself is Dalit. 😎
3. Sumit: Gurrrl, don't be a hypocrite and hater. Copyright Law 101: you have no copyright merely in the idea of coming out. Also, you wanna talk about credit then why didn't YOU credit ME in your book? Also, the real credit goes to 1950s Marathi Dalit writer Baburao Bagul, whose article precedes even mine. Just coz we write in English doesn't mean we shouldn't give vernacular writers credit. 😡
4. Yashica: Bruh, I never even heard of your article. I only read it now. Many people never read it. 🥸
5. Crowd: Yeah, right. 🙄
6. Me: Even those who don't research on the subject have seen Sumit's article. Our socio prof shared it with us in first year and it's been shared on many forums. What kind of researcher are you, Yashica? 🤨
