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

This was great to read! Thanks so much OP!

Just reading now, had to stop and copy this post over

Harry ass gonna be worm food in the next HP installment.

Voldemort gonna mysteriously rise again and finish the job.

Honestly though.... what’s the difference between this and being
trans-racial... trans-adolescent and ect. Will pedophilia be excused if you claim you are a 15 year old girl trapped in a 37 year old mans body. Get off on a hate crime, because Andrew identifies deep down as a nikka too and you shouldn’t tell him otherwise, you are being racist against him ...Like there are no words. Where does this shytstop

This from page 6 of the coli thread.
Its exactly what others have said before but been shouted down for saying. Weird eh.

The Coli one is hilarious, thanks OP. Some homophobic comments and a women can only blame themselves for this comment - which normally would make my hackles rise but in this case it was clear the meaning was "stand up for yourselves, women" rather than the usual "know your place" - though it is also what you could say to someone being abused, and as we know it's not easy to stand up for yourself, especially when you see the level of shit piled on. I'm liking tweets and following people on Twitter but then I noticed a really good friend whom I really respect liking Sophie Ellis Baxter's retweet of Emma whatever her name is's tweet and I thought my friend probably thinks my likes are crazy... though Emma's tweet taken out of context isn't necessarily something I would disagree with either. Watson. Sorry, name escaped me.

Anyway it was so refreshing to just read what other people think.

There are a lot of individuals with AGP on Reddit.

And on Reddit, posters (to the GC sub-reddit) are saying that on the J K Rowling sub-reddit (not the Harry Potter sub-reddit), agreeing with JKR gets you banned! Madness.

Why are Harry Potter forums deleting posts in support of JKR? Surely they should all be self-combusting at their own hypocrisy of having the forum at all?

I only lurk rather than post on Lipstick Alley because it's a space for black women and I don't want to intrude, but they have been consistently calling out this shit for a long time (and without the dance of linguistic appeasement we're forced to do here).

Datalounge has its own take. The mostly gay men who post there are broadly in favour of JKR.

Great thread @TheHeartbeat !
Only reading the first one so far. Once you get past the horrendous language and outright "phobias" there are real insights in there (and funny posts e.g. Voldemort rising again)

Mass bannings on dspy for anyone who agrees with JKR, states only women menstruate, or refuse to accept being called 'cis', no matter how politely.

Unbelievable, isn't it? There's a dspy refugee thread over at tattle where they are talking about it.

*posters always highlight the 'MRA' (men's rights activists) entitlement they display.

Lipstick Alley and Mumsnet are both hugely popular sites for women. So, it's no surprise that they are among the two biggest voices highlighting the misogyny and sexism of the trans movement.

I'm in a couple of True Crime FB groups that tend to skew overwhelmingly female. When crimes committed by trans women come up, posters always highly the 'MRA' (men's rights activists) entitlement they display.

The common theme being that these are spaces safe from the ire of angry men.

I posted on FB about how shocked I was by the responses to JKR with that picture with some of the abuse she's had.
I had 10 women support me and 1 who told me trans women are women. Interestingly I then had other people jump in with stop spouting sound bites and an example of a real life situation were a trans person passed away because of the insistence that TWAW, which must be awful for their family.

Anyway my point is I think 6 months ago I wouldn't have had such a response but people are starting to see the extremism & misogyny.

Have just read the first link so far. Some of the things they say are awful!

I lurked the Harry Potter forum on reddit so you don't have to: the moderators are unanimously anti-women, and are deleting any posts that support Rowling. Loads of bewildered long-time posters asking where their comments in support of JK had gone, calling the bias unfair. The few I did spot before being deleted were upvoted massively.

Normal people everywhere supporting JKR. Thanks for sharing.
Would have been nice if the MSM has reported this correctly from the outset. E.g. factual pro-women statement by JKR countered with abuse and threats from male misogynist extremists.

The way they reported it validated the abuse she got on Twitter. And no comment from them on DAniel Radcliffe, and his sleb pals, public chastisement of her, which he might not even have done, if it wasn't for their narrative of her being the baddie in the first place. In the real world she's supported.

Thank you.

The thing I find interesting is that while the debate is, in the main, very polarised, the way those views are expressed is often also very different, but some people really cannot see anything but 'literal violence' in even the politest difference of opinion.
Regardless of where you stand in opinion, surely if stood back for even one second and looked objectively at two statements such as:
'I believe biological women need their own spaces for safety'
and
'Look the Terf's are attacking the most vulnerable members of society yet again, they can piss off and suck my - Harry Potter was my bloody hero and now I have to burn all my books'
surely that would give you a tiny hint as to which one might have given some reasonable, considered, thought to the matter.

Many threads on Reddit (not just the GC subs) are bewildered by the backlash against JKR too.

yep, video gamer gets it.
