The use of the setting of the publishing industry and the importance of social media in that field really sets up June's resolution to double down and paint herself as the ultimate victim. It's weaved in in small moments throughout the story before the end where it becomes June's literal goal. I'm not sure if a white person would read this and see what real world phenomena it's trying to point to, but I think people who are already aware of the issues people of color face in the publishing industry (or, I guess, all industries) will be able to pick up on the true message and digest June's descent into complete racism.
Moderate: Racism
