How does Joss Prior get away with it?

Thank you @Glinner for your latest Substack post on Joss Prior issuing a twitter threat against various GC twitter users. The list includes Sally Challen's son, who has never had any skin in this game. A man who has had to campaign to have his abused mother released from prison now has to deal with a death threat.

Not Prior, but some lawyer also posted something vile to the recently widowed Dr Louise Moody. I won't repeat it here. It is set out in the link. The little coward appears to have deleted his twitter page.

Like Glinner, I am sick the the "both sides" equivalence drawn by people like that Fawcett Society woman. Women on the GC side, and men like Glinner, Arty, Simon Fanshawe, do not behave in any way like this. And the furore if we did would be incredible.

Why do they get away with it?

Sorry, I've name changed since originally posting!

@WarriorN It's a real giveaway behaviour. Sarah Brown ("auntysarah" 🤮) was the worst offender on the forum in question.

@MondayYogurt Indeed. The main perpetrator was Sarah Brown, who called themselves "auntysarah" on this forum. Vile piece of work.

It looks like that account might be a parody account Blush

Sorry if I've confused things!

The comments from the LibDems arbout the Ed Davey seating issue are incredibly dismissive and belittling:

What's the saying? To find out who rules over you find out who you can't criticise. (Something like that.)

TedImgoingmad · 23/06/2021 18:38

Jesus Wotgun, that's appalling. That vile tweet will go by unchallenged by Twitter, no doubt. And WTF is Ed Davey playing at?

Sorry if it’s not the right place to put this but it seemed a good example of male violence. It’s unbelievable how brazenly and casually sexual assault is bandied about

[quote blettedmedlar]@WarriorN One of the big peak moments in my GC journey was seeing how trans women in women only online forums spoke and argued in a way no woman would. It was difficult at first to pin down what was making me feel so uneasy, but then I had the lightbulb moment that they were speaking just like any abusive man I've ever come across if someone dared to disagree with them. [/quote]
You mean like saying something violent, hurtful, or vindictive and then laughing it off as a joke? Like 'can't you take a joke, stupid woman'.
Yes that's a very common abusive behaviour.

The bollocks spouting and DARVO seems to have really ramped up after Maya's victory I thought. Apparently we're all now mostly right wing incel men sending violent threats 🤷‍♀️

It's a change from feminist bigots I suppose Grin

Yes, Royal I wouldn't have described Leeze as an upstanding member of the community. Leeze was deeply unpleasant to feminists, and had some influence over our MSPs - considerable influence if you believed what Leeze said.

I still think it's sad to die at 38 and that was what I saw on twitter from feminists about Leeze's death. I didn't see a single negative comment. Joss wouldn't be as kind about the premature death of any of those feminists.

Guess female conditioning is a powerful thing.

ScreamingMeMe · 23/06/2021 09:50

Yes, I am aware of the kind of things Leeze used to tweet. I can still think a death at a relatively young age is sad.

ScreamingMeMe · 23/06/2021 09:46

@vivariumvivariumsvivaria

I'm sorry to dump bad news, Wotgun.

Found RIP. First Minister expressed her condolences, there was a lot of press attention in Scotland.

Again, it is sad. 38 is not fair for anyone.

I wasn't aware of this either. How desperately sad.

Reddit for AC.

It is incredible what TRAs can get away with on Twitter, compared to other people including feminists. There's obviously a political slant to the moderation.

@glinner and others have traced this to specific incel individuals, and the general dominance of high tech/Silicon Valley by incel males et al. I think they found specific links between Twitter and Aimee Challenor and their fantasist-paedophile spouse (or was that Reddit?)

Anyway, the connection between incel "ideas", MRA ideology, and gender extremist ideology is embedded in tech developments in Silicon Valley & elsewhere.

NotTerfNorCis · 23/06/2021 08:13

Well that's true, if a feminist had made a 'joke' about poisoning TRAs, she'd be arrested in front of her kids and bundled into a police cell. Feminists have been prosecuted for a lot less.

Prior's tweets were actually forwarded to the police. No action, of course.

It totally undermines any claim TRAs have to being 'the most oppressed'.

Tibtom · 23/06/2021 07:40

Forget twitter, surely the police should be involved? If a ribbon is enough....

NotTerfNorCis · 23/06/2021 07:23

The moderation seems quite random. This week I was one of a few people who reported Prior for encouraging people to poison gender critical co-workers. My report was accepted - on the grounds of 'encouraging suicide and self-harm'. That makes no sense, unless Twitter thinks Prior is gender critical. Whereas other people would probably have got the boot for the cyanide comment, Prior was soon back, and has changed their name to 'a little drop of poison'.

Thank you Maskless. When you say "fake lawyer", what exactly were they claiming to be? LM sounds like she has been having an awful time of it since her wife's death. Trolling her on top of bereavement and betrayal is the behaviour of an unfortunate individual with low morals.

@TipTopHat

Name change. Knew it would be deleted but thought it worth saying.
It's best not to go too far down the baseless insults route, no matter the provocation. The TRAs will just screen shot it as "proof" of our hatefulness. Robust debate, they can bloody well have.
