JK Rowling - Thread 2

Was that from the cyclepath? Surprisingly funny for zer.

Sorry. I don't know why. My screenshot won't load. Last try.

The relevant twitter account has been locked down so that they can live in their bubble safe from any intrusion.

Have just seen this response that appears to have been from Dr Veronica Ivy aka sportisaright aka cycle path.

I came off Twitter and one of the main reasons was my 'like' disappearing on JK's tweet and many other tweets that were GC.
I was there mainly to amplify other people's voices and show my support, so it all seemed pointless if I couldn't do this. I was also Deboosted.
Twitter is manipulating public opinion. This is REALLY sinister.

A slight aside, but possibly related: just seen on twitter that Katie Hopkins' twitter account has been suspended - because Rachel Riley went in and had a meeting with Twitter about it.

How does that happen? And is that what it takes to be heard? Only if you're a celebrity, or would an ordinary middle aged, invisible woman be invited to meet and discuss issues?

Twitter is rigged against women. If anyone can stomach staying on there to reach more women, then great. But it really is an awful place.

I tried and am actually registered (can I remember log-in??) I found it difficult to follow

It definitely gets easier with use. And at least you can say whatever you want. I like being able to edit posts too because I am terrible at proof reading.

My "Like" has gone again, predictably.

I'm not going to re-like it twice a day forever, because I'm not a maniac, but it's incredible that Twitter get away with this.

Meanwhile, the replies against JK are going up and up...

For those talking about a Twitter, have you tried Spinster?

There are threads of people on Twitter commenting regularly on how their likes on that tweet keep disappearing. Mine stuck for ages, but now constantly disappears. At least they haven't undone my retweet.

I quit twitter over a year ago but I noticed likes of GC feminist stuff wouldn't stick then. Thought I was being paranoid.

I've said this several times but twitter are editing content making them a media company & not a platform & should be regulated as such.

Glinner has had to re-like the Tweet.
What the hell does Twitter HQ have to gain from cheating it's users?

Twitter is not letting the likes for JK reach over 205K
I've re-liked twice today, but it'll be gone again tomorrow.
No one has the time to keep checking and re-liking this one tweet.

in reality JK would probably have 500K likes.

Meanwhile, Twitter have their own bots liking and liking the replies against JK Rowling, so it looks like the "ratio" matches their corporate ideology.

I long for the day Twitter falls. I really do.

Long convo on @Glinner's Twitter - many people reporting their original likes and retweets for that tweet have vanished and they're having to redo them - sometimes multiple times. The likes are still now at 204K, though!

Oh yes, I was talking about the money. Fame holds no attractions for me either. But I would like to have enough money to always have "escape to my own private island" as a back up plan!

I doubt it makes you impervious too, bananamush, but I reckon it might help a bit!

True, true, at least the money part. I think being famous must be horrible though, having your every move under a microscope and being speculated over. Decisions that are simple for us common folk must be more complicated when you're famous. I don't understand how it's considered to be attractive.

I hope the satisfaction Ms. Rowlings is getting for exposing the nuttiness to so many people who had/have no idea about toxic transgenderism is outweighing the stress which I'm sure they are causing. I doubt that any amount of fame or money makes you impervious to vitriol.

I caught just a few "jk is a terf" tweets under Oswalts post the rest were overwhelmingly positive.
I find the "terf" comments both eye-rolling hilarious and sad tbh in the sense that they follow the lines of "Oh! my 9yo kid is questioning their identity/ might question their gender identity one day and they love HP, what will happen if they grow up and find out their hero is a horrible TERF that doesnt want them to exist?!"

I mean, can these people get any more over dramatic? This is the exact kind of lack of critical thinking and hyped up drama that will cause these kids to grow up with anxiety and a constant victim mentality.

Good to see JK tweeting again....but my god the fucking tweets about murdering transwomen continue.
Also Patton Oswalt @ ing JK a sweet video of his daughter finishing Harry Potter and getting piled on by TRAs ffs

Just saw this. JKR remaining spectacularly uncancelled, round 2.

£86k a day!

Just putting myself down as supporting JK Rowling. It cheered me up to see her stand up to them.
