“I think I was still relatively harmless given the fact that this lady would like to push everyone who calls knitting her hobby into the right corner, so I have no sense of injustice in this case,” Gruber told the “Augsburger Allgemeine.” “.
Right-wing extremists in the textile hobby scene
In her book “Welcome to the Wrong Film,” Gruber criticizes a real-named user of the platform Actively deal with who offers what and who offers offers.” This is nonsense and the blogger Roma Maria Mukherjee is a guardian of virtue, the book says. What a woman of this name does in the textile hobby scene is a mystery; Gruber “more likely placed her in tantric Shakren gymnastics or a vegan primal scream seminar.”
“Insulting, racist and defamatory”
Mukherjee then made it public that she found this passage offensive, racist and defamatory – and received a lot of support. Mukherjee, who works as a practice manager in the healthcare sector and was confronted with hate messages during the debate, also criticized the use of her full name, which was completely surprising for her.
Publisher is considering changes
The publishing house, Piper Verlag, then emphasized that it did not want to hurt anyone personally and that it wanted to discuss with Gruber and co-author Andreas Hock how the passage in the audio and e-book as well as in the printed book could be changed. The 52-year-old Gruber, on the other hand, emphasized in the “Augsburger Allgemeine” that the allegations had “no basis whatsoever.” She looks forward to a legal dispute calmly. “Anyone who speaks publicly about social issues must also accept that these statements will then be treated satirically.”
