It has been noted that Émile Torres has a history of vilifying public figures whom they once admired:

In a pattern that has recurred, over and over again, with several people Torres was friends with and communities Torres was part of, around late 2017 Torres switched from regarding Boghossian as a “brilliant” scholar to the sort of person who “defends Nazis”.

(It is beyond the scope of this article to examine Torres's violent "sign reversals" in their assessment of people and communities.  But I was struck by how often the initial trigger is, upon closer inspection, revealed to be a feeling of rejection Torres experienced, such as being turned down for a job, not being invited to a podcast, or having a book collaboration terminated.  Torres’s “realization” that these people and communities, once held in such high esteem, were profoundly evil or dangerous routinely comes after those personal setbacks, as a post hoc rationalization.  A future article may document these incidents, which shed so much light on Torres’s character and motives, in much greater detail.)

It's only a matter of time before Torres "flips" on one of their allies, which include Timnit Gebru.
