JK is getting a slating on Waterstones FB page's Ickabog promotion. I've added a positive comment, would others want to do the same.

Funny how their ‘hate speech’ reporting has sub categories and sex isn’t one of them.

Lololol at the comment saying they hope no one buys it. Yeah, pal. Hope is often a disappointing thing.🤣

I'm still failing to understand this 'concept of fluidity' though...

gardenbird48 · 22/07/2020 15:16

a glaring lack of facts being put forward. Nice to see all the positive comments supporting JK's amazing gesture :¬)

I’m going to order some for my nieces

Fair enough. Whoever it was made me smile.

Waterstones are promoting it now to preorder. I ordered mine yesterday Smile.

I don't argue on FB comments, I don't have the energy for it. I just report them all as harassment. No idea if it works but it makes me feel a bit better.

@SerenityNowwwww it's being released in November. I'm excited!

SerenityNowwwww · 22/07/2020 14:58

I thought it wasn’t out yet - only the chapters released over lockdown for, you know, little kids to enjoy?

SilverLetters · 22/07/2020 14:56

@ButterflyBitch Nope that wasn't me...I can't be bothered with men like him. Clearly a misogynist so nothing I say could change his mind. I admire women who do engage but I haven't the patience.

Someone's commented on the Waterstones website saying they'd like to give it zero as there's nothing original in it... Petty.

It just shows how truely pathetic they are.

The book cover is lovely.

SerenityNowwwww · 22/07/2020 14:39

So they have taken a break from posting revolting images onto the twitter drawing competition for kids and taken it onto Waterstones Facebook?

Such mature and sensible people.

Are you the one that replied to him
silverletters? What an eejit. Seemed to think transpeople don’t have Any rights.
I’d reply but I got into a row with someone on Facebook A few weeks ago and dont really want to do it again. Probably be jumped on and I’m not very articulate when I’m cross.

SilverLetters · 22/07/2020 14:21

I've posted too. There's a predictable woke beard mansplaining and telling us to 'educate' ourselves Hmm

BillyCotton · 22/07/2020 14:00

Definitely worth doing. Waterstones seem to be emerging as a good online retailer for books having been hammered by Amazon for years. It is good to have a bookseller that sells books and does it well.

Yes, also done
