I’m less tolerant of male exhibitionism as well Kittens, it isn’t just you. I think there has been a massive push towards normalising the behaviour and online platforms such as Twitter encourage more and more men to see it as either a fun challenge or something they can get away with, along with loud shrieks that they aren’t harming anyone and anyone objecting is infringing on their human rights.

Performing sex acts(including visible actions that induce arousal In public is a perversion. The men that carry out these acts are inflicting their perversion on anyone else in that space.

NSFW but it couldn't be more clear where they're coming from. Do these trans activists never look at their fellow mob members and think "I'm surrounded by perverts, maybe I'm not on the right side after all

These people are fools.

She's an author of books for children. Do they really think that the more perverts oppose her, the worse she's going to feel??

I bet she can't distance herself quick enough. Except, she doesn't even have to do that, as they're doing it for her.

Has anyone else found that they've become less tolerant towards behavior like knickers on the outside person is showing on the subway as a result of the last few years of social trends? If you've ever lived in a big city you'll have encountered random exhibitionists making a nuisance of themselves in public spaces, but I used to just sort of roll my eyes and ignore them like everyone is doing in that clip. Seeing that kind of behavior framed as a social justice issue where the poor persecuted pervs are being cruellly discriminated against by a bigoted society unwilling to celebrate them for being stunning and brave has pushed me from "meh, annoying, go away" to "maybe we should arrest these arseholes in the hopes it will discourage them". Which I don't think was the intended effect of all the wailing about how stunning and brave they are.

It's like they think that she'll be sunk financially and the Potter empire will die if they, random who wears knickers over their trousers on the internet like some sort of odd superhero (where's the cape?), write a review titled "why I as a knickers over trousers wearing enthusiast liked Harry Potter and would recommend that you buy this book on Kindle".

Fuck sake. When I was working in a nursing homes and a resident wandered out of their room with their bloomers/underpants on the the outside of their clothes, it was because they were confused or suffering from dementia. That’s just grim.

Looking at those screenshots, and if you've got a strong stomach, check out the pinned tweet on the @That70sChk account:

NSFW but it couldn't be more clear where they're coming from. Do these trans activists never look at their fellow mob members and think "I'm surrounded by perverts, maybe I'm not on the right side after all."

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 21/05/2020 09:22

Maybe they think that if they shout at JK loud enough and for long enough, they’ll hurt her feelings? Nah, can’t be that, because we all know that hurty feelings is akin to literal murder and the TRAs are completely adverse to violence and threats. They must think if they wave their magic wands at her hard enough while chanting “Evanesco! Evanesco!” that she’ll disappear.

So not only did these poor young women think they could become men, but they also thought they could become Harry Potter? How sad.
I suppose at least it's not quite as bad as the 6 year old boys who want to be called Sparkle Princess and whose mothers say "yes you can choose to be a girl but I draw the line at you choosing your own name".

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 21/05/2020 08:42

Or if they don't write the review, rather. Because that's how the publishing business works, right? Incredibly successful authors who've already sold millions of books will someone find those sales undone and the money vanished from their bank accounts if you, internet random, don't recommend the books they wrote and made a fortune on 20 years ago. Like they were your mate who just self published a book about their knickers over trousers adventures and needs you to promote it or nobody will notice it exists.

Lamahaha · 21/05/2020 08:33

Even if the books and films stop earning, she must have some decent investments...

They won't. One of the perks of being a writer is that once you retire your books keep on earning for you, and when you die, for your heirs. At her rate of popularity, hers will go on earning long after the copyright expires 75 years after her death. She's fixed for life and her heirs thereafter.

Ok, I do feel sorry for the trans-men up thread.

Not because jk knows that sex exists, though.

According to our friend with the knickers worn over the jeans in the screenshot above, "her book business and reputation could benefit more" (from shutting up, presumably). How? She's the best selling author of her generation and has given away more money than even most millionaires will ever earn.

They clearly don't understand that her career has been already made for generations to come. Even if she never writes another word, her books will keep on earning millions even after she's dead, millions for her daughter and daughter's kids, for 75 years after her death! Grin

Just see if you can stop that momentum by screaming Transphobe.

sourdoughismyreligion · 21/05/2020 00:34

TRAs on Twitter astonished to learn that just because an author writes fantasy doesn't mean she believes it.

If the goal here is to demonstrate a link between belief in gender and low intelligence and analytical skills they're doing an excellent job.

It's going to destroy her career Grin As if

TheChampagneGalop · 20/05/2020 22:18

It's so good to see her thriving on twitter, supporting women, spreading joy to Potter fans and not giving a damn about the TRA nonsense.

OMG. Harrop is now berating JKR and some of the tweets in the thread are pure comedy.
Trans men who chose the name Harry are sad and apparently her career may suffer. GrinGrin

Drummond claims to be a lesbian and claims to bring out the inner lesbian in women, and goes into schools to teach kids.

Exactly the sort of person who should be kept out of schools and well away from kids.
When did schools start losing the plot and inviting all these creepy types in?
