The best thing about Titania is that whilst taking aim at the extreme left, its the right wingers often get suckered in, its equal opportunities mockery.

I just thought it was male genitalia.

I had a long and highly edifying conversation with my partner on whether the gif is a penis joke and he concedes that he does kind of see a growing penis in it. I was wondering if perhaps it's more of a man's POV of the penis, he thinks that it's probably just that men spend more time studying their penis in all its life stages and may be more inclined to see penises everywhere... in conclusion, Penis. is probably the relevant interpretation of the gif.

I find Titania funny, but the pp is right - the man who runs the account is a misogynist dickhead. My brother in law (see: misogynist dickhead) knows him.

TBHno · 17/08/2020 13:22

Andrew Doyle (who plays Titania) is not a misogynist. He is one of the very few standing up for women atm

Well, can’t have MN turning into a place where women of the left, right and centre discuss their common interests as women.

“Fuck be, I remember when Mumsnet used to be left wing feminists. I can’t believe there’s a thread defending Titania.”

Please can we not conflate left wing with reality denial?

fatblackcatspaw · 17/08/2020 12:09

yeah Mumsnet went downhill when feminists with a sense of humour started posting... #freeTitania !

HoneysuckIejasmine · 17/08/2020 12:08

As I said, I actually know at least two people who would read her thread on health and nod along in agreement.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 17/08/2020 12:07

But if she's only a shade more left than the accepted norm, and in some cases not as left as other activists... Don't we have a problem? I am left of center myself but I think extreme left is just as harmful as extreme right.

It makes me laugh because it takes aim at po-faced wokery. That's to be welcomed in my opinion.

Climbingallthetrees · 17/08/2020 11:25

Of course I know Titania is a spoof account. Run by a man who hates the left and women as far as I can tell.

Cocothefirst · 17/08/2020 11:19

Tatiana is a spoof account, as is Jarvis Dupont. Didn't you know?

Mumsnut · 17/08/2020 10:55

Cat out of bag?

HoneysuckIejasmine · 17/08/2020 10:45

What do you mean? Titania is very left wing!

Climbingallthetrees · 17/08/2020 10:39

SocialMedea · 17/08/2020 10:36

Phew! Can get on with thinking about other stuff.

Kantastic · 17/08/2020 10:17

I obviously have too much time on my hands. I found this from the creators of the gif. So I think it is "I'll pack my bags and leave"

Thank you! So it's not a rude gif at all! I was completely misled by the blush emoji in the response. I apologise to everyone else who was trying to work that one out Grin

RoyalCorgi · 17/08/2020 10:00

My favourite tweet is: "If you don’t want to be arrested, don’t say the wrong things. It really is that simple." Sums it all up perfectly.

SheWhoMustNotBeHeard · 17/08/2020 09:50

Oh and has anyone read Titania's first book? I like the sound of the second book: My First Little Book of Intersectional Activism.

SheWhoMustNotBeHeard · 17/08/2020 09:48

I just thought it was male genitalia. Confused

SocialMedea · 17/08/2020 09:41

Placemarking to find out what the cat + luggage = ....

Muttonindistress · 17/08/2020 09:10

Kantastic - The cat and suitcases gif has me baffled too. And I’m really good at Catchphrase. (Though I know that’s nothing to be proud of!) Maybe we’re overthinking it, and it’s just another way of saying ‘I’ll get my coat then.’

ItsLateHumpty · 17/08/2020 08:56

Peados are still on twitter...they aren't restricted nether is porn or sex worker accounts

I was just saying this on another thread.

Wrongthink ie using he for a TW will get you booted off twitter, talking about raping children or advertising your porn channel or advising punters you’re a prostitute is just all good Hmm
