I apologize in advance if I'm reading too much into your comment, but I don't think anyone here has invoked any "POC cabal," nor is likely to since this is not a race issue as far as I can tell. And I would like to consider myself:

rocking with the feminism / anti-ableism / anti- rape culture

and I still have issues with some of the criticism of Amanda Palmer I'm seeing. I don't think I'm being persecuted or oppressed or ~silenced~ by people choosing to frame the discussion in those terms; I just think it's inaccurate.
