I'm glad she's said this. It's despicable that TRA's subjected children to this in the first instance but even more so that they double down to blame the woman they targeted.

I came here to post Joylon's tweet. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm astonished by it. So many issues, but my main concern is that he seems to be ignoring the fact that 13 year olds are still children.

I also can't see any tweets where he condemns the act of posting porn as a silencing tactic. He seems more concerned with portraying JKR as a hysterical woman clutching her pearls about a non-existent threat to children. Absolutely despicable.

Foxy can fuck off too. The DARVOing and whataboutery is off the scale!!

Mischievous my arse.

It seems to be a theme, doesn't it? Exposing genitalia, sending porn to children and threats to women, isn't enough. Them being ostensibly ignored appears to be rage inducing.

Women, and children, how dare you not show how horrified you are by my disgusting behaviour. How dare your outrage not amplify me and my threats.

And then, because it's JKR, she does it again. She refuses to give them the reaction they so desperately demand.

@PumpkinSpiceWoman care to say a few words decrying the people tweeting porn at children? Or are you determined to justify that behaviour?

ScreamingMeMe · 18/07/2021 12:06

Disingenuous prick.

I admire her so much for standing up and saying what she knows to be true despite the hate she knows she'll get for it. I'm glad she sees through Twitter and emails how much we appreciate her doing this for us.

JKR is a fantastic woman and an example of who children (& adults) should take an example from.

SecondRow · 18/07/2021 12:02

I would so love to see JKR crush JM under her heel. Yeah, yeah, watchers, FIGURATIVELY, through the medium of Twitter only. He isn't fit to lick her boots.

BraveBananaBadge · 18/07/2021 12:02

She's fantastic. So much wilful misinterpretation - even the fox killer is at it. What a bloody shower.

@OvaHere

There's little point, I think, in taking legal action against random cartoon accounts with 10 followers. One of the things I believe you have to prove in defamation cases is the reach of the thing said about you. So who said it is a factor in deciding to sue. (caveat IANAL)

Anyone with a public profile, a large number of followers or a blue tick should be cautious in what they say though.

He's actually reasonably influential. He's involved in A Thousand Flowers, and is part of the small group of people trying to undermine womens rights in Scotland.

Archived the fox killer's tweets.

They just can't bring themselves to call out bad behaviour on their side, can they (he even got a sly little "both sides" in there). Right side of history my arse!

X post re Foxy Kimono...

CorvusPurpureus · 18/07/2021 11:58

Obviously the fox slayer is now trying to argue that it's probably JKR's fault for encouraging underage twitter use (fact check: she didn't. She invited parents to submit art their dc had made).

Can we rename him Jnaunce?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 18/07/2021 11:53

And now the fox killer is adding fuel to the witch burning:

"Perplexed by that tweet. You said the Ickabog was for seven to nine year olds. The lower age limit for twitter is 13. Given how this place is, wouldn't it have been responsible for you to discourage kids from using twitter rather than encouraging them to send you artwork here? t.co/d0Odbf4MOx

Am not defending that no1guncle tweet, which is mischievous. But important for all of us to be careful not to use horrible tweets - of which there are many from bad actors on both sides - to smear others. To do otherwise is irresponsible (at best) or dishonest (at worst)."

"Mischievous" Hmm

Waitwhat23 · 18/07/2021 11:51

Every time something happens like this where I think 'surely, surely this is the point where TRA's think ooh, maybe we've crossed the line'. Everytime, I've been proven wrong.

Justifying porn being posted on a Twitter conversation where children have been invited to show their artwork? Trying to blame JKR for not retweeting or bringing further attention to the images because she was reporting them instead?

Really?

TheSlayer · 18/07/2021 11:50

I think she's too damn noble for that.
The only way I could see her doing it was if she then offered to pay them the fees and pay their damages to one of her children's charities.

CorvusPurpureus · 18/07/2021 11:44

I am now seriously hoping that she's planning on sueing one of the little fuckers who keep libelling her. I don't care which one she picks, although this one would do nicely.

Enough is enough. They need a clear message sent across their bows.

ScreamingMeMe · 18/07/2021 11:43

The audacity sometimes renders me speechless, but I suppose they all back each other up.

Disgusting, vile people full of lies and dirty tricks.

Posting the screen shot incase it does actually get taken down.

Jk serene as always.

It's like the Wi Spa indecent exposure argument. Shifting the blame onto women and children who don't respond in the 'correct' way to having male genitalia exposed to them. Never the fault of the person committing the act.

It's the height of both victim blaming and pretending to be the victim simultaneously.

She’s left the starting blocks this morning. Good for her. Helen Joyce got a lot of support last night and some retractions from libellous assaults by threatening legal action. Obviously the attacker claimed victim hood. I think JKR is getting very close to the end of her tether now and will be following up this assault with legal letters. Every nasty slur will have been traced and archived until she’s got enough to detonate. Both Helen and J K Rowling are clever measured bright women and they hate them for it.
