Mark Fisher ( 1968-2017 ) was a cultural critic who died in 2017 .
His most infamous essay, “ Exiting the Vampire Castle” was published in 2013 .
For some, it was an early denouncement of cancel culture’, presuming his allegiance to an increasingly vocal “anti-woke” commentariat.
For others, it is a despicable and sexist screed that outs Fisher as an anti-feminist, making him persona non grata.
Mark Fisher’s defiant support of Brand , against advice to the contrary, was a product of mental ill-health.
But he was only guilty of an intellectual misstep one that he would spend the next few years trying to remedy.
Fisher did not languish in this self-critique, however, however. He turned emphatically towards feminist thought past and present.
