Dworkin's active collaboration with the far-right, including *the literal Reagan administration* to go after other queers should be enough to bury her bs forever. She was an utter quisling during a time of intense persecution of our communities.
We don't need to rehabilitate traitors y'all.

I’m so tired of people defending Dworkin. She wanted the state to come down on dykes & fags who made porn for other dykes & fags, especially if they were into BDSM. She said lesbians who made lesbian porn were ”self-hating” & queer pornographers should “be held legally accountable”.

I think theft is the correct answer.
If you have betrayed a marginalized community to fascists but also said insightful things, your work is open for theft. Someone else simply say the same thing in the same way; hell, improve it if you want.
And pretend the traitor never contributed anything. If the ideas are good, steal em. If the fascist hordes food, break their horde and give it out.
No he didn't. I did. Quote me. Heidegger also said that there is a vast Jewish conspiracy to emasculate Germany. Could he really have thought that good thing? Do you really want that guy in your work's cited list? Or me?
And if some nerd comes up to you and goes "Um, akshully, that sounds like Heidegger's....", push that asshole into a locker and go about your day.
