A twitter account is saying that stickers in Manchester Oxford Road station have razor blades behind them put there by TERFS. If you are terfblocked you won't be able to view.

For someone who is so quick to condemn t*rfs, he's one himself, unless he is quite happy to sleep with women who identify as men.

Part of my problem with this is the utter arrogance of people parroting mantras who, when challenged, just double down with zero understanding.

I don't like to use the word thick, but sometimes no other word does it.
If you don't understand something, don't spout off about it on social media. And then abuse people who are challenging it.

And all those photographs of the original 'hoax'.

Because it wasn't even a hoax. It was just a lie. A hoax has to have a certain amount of credibility. This was just an outright lie, exposed almost instantly.

It's cringeworthy. I'm not sure if it's just outright gullibility, or a genuine need to find a legitimate outlet to abuse a bunch of women online.

That thread is an abject lesson in rank misogyny and ignorance.

I agree with you nauticant

YouCantBeSirius · 05/02/2019 10:38

I was a friend of Scott. I've had to take a step back because of the woman hating.

nauticant · 05/02/2019 10:31

In the majority of cases when I see a gay man wade into a GC discussion it is to justify male entitlement and superiority and to tell women to shut up. As time goes on my impression grows of a strong and widespread trait of misogyny in male gay culture.

NeurotrashWarrior · 05/02/2019 10:27

Disrespectful was that tweet tongue in cheek or real?!

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 05/02/2019 10:23

Agree. Not defending him.

He's being a total arse. Gay men are not that helpful when it comes to GC issues.

Datun · 05/02/2019 10:05

For a 'nice bloke', he was very quick to start calling women cunts.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 05/02/2019 09:50

I vaguely know Scott Agnew. He's a nice bloke, had a rough hand dealt to him. Very funny on stage.

Perhaps not reflected much on trans issues, though. He's a gay man. They tend not to think too deeply about trans guff...until they get a transman in their spaces.

The last time I got caught sharing an Internet rumour as fact (it was actually the David Cameron with the Bullingdon Club smashing up a restaurant one from a decade ago) I owned up immediately and I wince whenever I think back to it.

But arsehole man, well, rather than say "oops, I shouldn't have been gullible" would rather spending days flinging shit at women.

Datun · 05/02/2019 09:19

Sorry, so many questions!

Datun · 05/02/2019 09:18

Well I can imagine actually having to dial the police or walk into a police station would be far too much effort. Much easier to spend days abusing women on social media.

But a quick photo? People who spend every waking moment photographing their day in painfully mundane increments, inexplicably don't take a quick picture before taking to Facebook and twitter?

What goes through their heads beforehand?

This will look plausible?

It's a little concerning how people can be quite so stupid.

And is that man a comedian? A job that generally requires one to be able to read the room?

nauticant · 05/02/2019 08:33

I liked this convincing exchange on FB:

Emma Soanes This is just heartbreakingly vile. Is someone reporting? There must be CCTV around there? x

Scott Agnew Emma Soanes I'll pass that on to my friend - not sure if they have reported it.

Well, no, they wouldn't have, would they.

This is one of the best tweets I have ever seen:

"These TERF stickers are hate crimes committed by bioessentialist cis privileged transmisogynists and it is time the police took them seriously or there will be rioting to stop suicides"

Apollo440 · 05/02/2019 07:21

Someone needs to call the police as this would be an ACTUAL hate crime. And since the person who told them about the razors is a good friend of his, he will have no issue trouble providing their name so the police can interview them about the crime. Unless of course they are lying. Now that would be embarrassing to people with such a track record of integrity.

ToeToToe · 05/02/2019 07:19

Some great replies though:

"This is nothing. My neighbour's dog (who I've taken for walks, so I know this story is mega legit) says that she was picking off an anti-feminist sticker which said 'Fuck off and die TERFs' on it. As she peeled it off, underneath were an entire gang of meth gobbling hobos armed to the teeth ; which had been cunningly concealed there by TRAs. When the sticker was removed, they jumped out and stabbed her. Good job she was expecting this and wore her stabproof vest that day! Be careful folks, trans rights activist stickers are dangerous!!!"

"Ugh, that's my street, this is fucking gross. I hope I catch someone putting them up."

The comments on that Facebook thread are hilarious.

NotTerfNorCis · 05/02/2019 07:04

Well that chap waded into an issue he doesn't understand, and now he's calling women cunts and terfs rather than listen to them. Oh but he 'loves women' so that's ok.

SunsetBeetch · 05/02/2019 06:53

And here we go again. Now the claims are from Glasgow.

twitter.com/scottagnew/status/1091393762247540736?s=19

A friend just posted this - I know the original poster so this is not a hoax however they do not wish to be named for fear of recriminations - please be careful if you see these TERF stickers around town.

“Glasgow... t.co/Yjd9JUUY58

He's also called women 'cunts'. What a charmer. Looks like a couple of people have tweeted Glasgow Police to check the veracity of the claims. I'll eat all the hats if there's any truth to this.

Excellent portal action.

ErrolTheDragon · 17/09/2018 08:56

That one was an invisible portal invoking the spirit of bewilderness (it's not just a blank post) Grin

WWWAaaahh.....h...h

arranfan · 16/09/2018 20:44

It's an invisible portal?

Pshaw! Invisible!?! Doesn't begin to cover the portal. It's inter-continental, and the more advanced designs incorporate radicalisation and inter-dimensionality.

When we run an online hate group course we don't mess about. I mean we do - but our physics puts Star Trek to shame.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/09/2018 18:54

Did someone want a portal?
