[Must see for all weary] Other forums on Jk Rowling situation.

Great taste theHeartbeat love all those sites. Neogaf is so much better since the split with Resetera. Prior to split it was a window into our dystopian future where any dissent was met with banning and calling employers to get people fired. Don't forget about the Anime avatars and the mods arrested for sharing Child Sex abuse pictures and defending Paedophiles....

Wow I had no idea about the MM stuff going on.

Boards thread though is pretty good. A few years ago it would have been pro trans all the way and any dissention would have been soundly shut down by mods under the umbrella of hate speech. At least it's now being discussed and debated and actually has a lot of secret support.

It's spreading...

WERMs 🤣 💐

So actually, I've just see that that racism thread had a post from MNHQ clarifying talk guidelines - worth a read - I didn't realise other places did the grey rock. Obviously this is great if it can weed out racist posters!

I find the word problematic problematic.

Must be how anyone who hasn't followed all this for the last 4 years feels...

There was a thread on Site Stuff about racism, but it was all about the Royal Family and Harry/Meghan and the many threads and regular posters discussing them. I have zero clue about any of it and I felt I'd stepped into a sort of mirror world I backed away because I didn't have 3 solid weeks to try and unpick who said what and if it was problematic...

^ ok, I don't get that.

Must be how anyone who hasn't followed all this for the last 4 years feels...

I actually find it more interesting how many forums have no references to the issue at all.

For example, rollercoaster.ie (Irish equivalent of MN) has no reference to the issue, and no threads on trans that I can find since RMcK winning her race last year. I doubt no-one cares, so I suspect censorship.

There's a humdinger of threads on boards.ie which is currently dominated by accusing people of being fetishists if they are homo or hetero sexual, which is mind-boggling. Apparently a "femme lesbian" being attracted to a "butch lesbian" is an issue.

I dunno, I feel old.

'Anyone who supports the transmovement is a WERM: woman exclusionary radical misogynist'

Oh, I like this.

I hope the Coli forum members don't mind if I appropriate the term "tallywacker" (please someone tell me if it's problematic and I'm not realising! )

And they are wrong. And usually racist. Either directly, or patronisingly. With them it is:

#BlackLivesMatter but actually
#BlackWomenCanFeckOff.

Oh, I so wish they would WishingChair.

Just so we could sit back and enjoy the craic.

But of course they'd have their arses handed to them very quickly - and scathingly. And of course they are chicken shit.

Fascinating thread, thank you. And yes, it's so revealing that TRA's don't round on these forums and attempt to educated/castigate the posters on them.

Fascinating stuff, thanks, OP! Anybody know what is happening on Netmums?

Same poster ends:

"My hope is that people who don't really pay attention to the trans rights movement take a look now JKR has caught the media's attention. Hopefully they'll see that it's a nice way for dudebros to exercise their misogyny and still get asspats."

Also Kiwi Farms:

"I've gone back to look at JKR's tweets and saw a reply from a woman who is an FGM survivor say that she gets people saying that it's transphobic to describe it as such. And guess what? She's accused of telling lies by SJWs. Some of them even double down and say that, yes, it is transphobic because the clitoris and labia don't necessarily belong to a female...

To think that somewhere in the world a little girl is currently being pinned down and having her genitals removed with a dirty scalpel. She could bleed to death or die of infection. It will ruin her future sex life, leave her at risk of UTIs and complicated childbirth. Yet there are white women in the West, who look on this practice and think, "You know what's problematic about this? There are people with a clitoris who don't identify as female. The term 'FGM' is transphobic."

Such SJWs no doubt support Black Lives Matter, but not if the black person is an African girl and there are trans people at risk of being reminded of their biological sex."

Poster on Kiwi Farms:

"Oh boy, there is so much to analyze here.

First, as I've pointed out before, it's amazing how these people can drop any love they have for anyone or anything as soon as that anyone/thing becomes "problematic". Only then they start to nitpick for problems, which shows that they don't really care about these issues, they only use them to destroy something they don't like or that has hurt their feelings.

Then, you have the fans threatening to destroy Jo's books. You already gave her money, idiots. Please, go and burn them now, you're totally gonna look like the sane ones here.

And finally, the best part here is that Jo is right. About everything. And those trying to lecture her about biology need to remember she's married to a health worker (an anesthesiologist, iicr). She knows the science behind it.

She's also right about how TERF is a somehow slur, is the PC word for "feminazi" and makes sense that bullies like ShoeOnHead love to use it and have embraced it, it's a "mean girl" behavior.

I'm loving this plot twist very much, best thing that happened in 2020 so far."

refuse to accept being called 'cis'

This bit really pisses me off. I thought hat everyone had the right to determine their gender identity. But..many people are just told they are cis and to shut up? Odd, how these people cannot define themselves and say they are NOT cis isn't it..only super special snowflakes are allowed to 'identify' as whatever they please..
