Retailer called MeUndies announces new range of Harry Potter themed pyjamas. Attracts predictable responses. Also, notably, huge kickback against the first few woke replies.

This person has utterly lost the plot. No attempt to engage with any replies, of course. I'd have said alleging JKR is advocating violence against trans people was libellous.

Brands continue to disappoint, but @MeUndies takes the cake this week. For a purported LGBTQI friendly brand their Harry Potter partnership upset me. I wrote them and asked them not to support anything that helps a TERF profit, and they said no. Don't buy their stuff. Ever.

Seriously, multiple super-defensive and dismissive emails that they've done enough for the LGBTQI folx out there. You can't hurt people with a campaign like this and not care, say you've done enough in the past, @medundies. Your greed is showing.

Seriously, this wanton disregard for the safety of LGBTQI folx makes me hope that @MeUndies takes a serious hit to their bottom line. Soft underwear is everywhere, people. Buy the stuff that doesn't support campaigns and voices that advocate violence against trans folx.

@PotholeParadies I have to agree. I see how horrendous threats against GC women not being sanctioned.

@PotholeParadies

Someone has discovered the safety person is important at Medium, that site that keeps banning gender critical people from posting their essays on it.
Ahhhhh.

I love HP. I want pyjamas but I can't access the website Angry. Is it just me??

JuliaJohnston · 30/10/2020 20:35

The safety of folx is being compromised by people selling pyjamas they disapprove of.
You can only assume there are quite serious mental health issues at play here 🤷🏻‍♀️

PotholeParadies · 30/10/2020 20:35

Sounds like a totally disproportionate punishment. Hmmph!

Dogman · 30/10/2020 20:33

@PotholeParadies took the piss. Suggested PJs kill people in mildly amusing rhyme.

Hahaha she said ‘bottom’. To an underwear company. And that’s about as serious as I can take her.

PotholeParadies · 30/10/2020 19:42

What did you do?!

Dogman · 30/10/2020 19:31

I’m in Twitter jail over this.

I am going to go on Dragons’ Den with my range of Harry Potter branded grips, for all these poor ‘folx’!

Who’ll invest?

RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 30/10/2020 19:10

I need to check the website

Ds1’s boyfriend loves a bit of Harry Potter, I’ll see if they come in his size

Malahaha · 30/10/2020 19:03

Death by Knickers: great title for a book!

IwishNothingButTheBestForYou2 · 30/10/2020 18:37

Women can have folxx and men get to be folxy?

SunsetScreech · 30/10/2020 18:36

@PostItJoyWeek

It has made RatioWatch. Twice.

As did Matt Chorley. twitter.com/WatchRatio/status/1322212065969426432?s=09

Sometimes Twitter is good.

I dont know who Matt Chorley is, but I already don't like him. TWAT.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 30/10/2020 18:34

We had a thread the other day about how The Shambles in York is managing to sustain multiple Harry Potter shops. I think the TRAs should go and picket there. It would be great.

NeutralJanet · 30/10/2020 17:27

Second set of Twitter tantrums over JKR I've seen this week, after the one directed at the London museum that is putting on a Harry Potter themed exhibit. She's not getting cancelled, get over it.

Guns don't kill people, knickers do, is perhaps my favourite tweet ever Grin

[quote PotholeParadies]Blimey, the comments below the last tweet.

Not going well at all. I feel sorry for her. I'm sure she's just trying to do what she believes in.

Words and pajamas are literal violence.

Male bodies in female sports is totes safe.

Gleaned from twitter:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Smalls
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Victorias Secrets
Harry Potter and the Gusset of Fire
Harry Potter and The Order of the Penix

Fill in the missing books!

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 30/10/2020 16:37

I don’t feel sorry for her, she used the word ‘folx’ twice in one tweet.

Great thread, thanks Gasp0de! Just what I needed: I'm trying to write a readable summary of something long and complicated, while the last rays of afternoon light dwindle away, and I feel as though I've been at my desk since yesterday.
