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.

Glinner 100% correct here - celebs love virtue signalling and being woke but their silence on this is deplorable

@RaindropsOnRosie

She should have her devices taken off her so she doesn't keep posting on Twitter.
What about people who tweet porn at a children's author, on a site with an official minimum age threshold of 13?

Do they get to keep their devices?

I think 90% of them just want the claim to fame that they rattles JK.
But she's unrattleable.
As previously mentioned, her opponents keep turning up fora battle of wits unarmed.

If I were her I'd just start responding '10 points from Slytherin' each time. Her self control to not entertain their nonsense is much higher than mine.

If there’s any positive takeaway from Rowling’s latest dogpiling, it’s that those she targets get to show us what actual bravery and perseverance look like. The young trans man she retweeted has been keenly engaged in the ongoing conversation and now has in his bio, “the man the myth the legend behind THAT jkr tweet.”

oh my god, that is hilarious. I was torn between disgust and amusement the whole way through but I then I got to this bit and actually squeaked with laughter.

ACTUAL BRAVERY AND PERSEVERANCE. I guess they've moved on to the rest of the dictionary with self-ID now? A brave person is a person who praises their own bravery in a Twitter bio. A perseverant person is anyone who identifies as perseve...whatever.

Actual. bravery. And perseverance! Help me, it's too hot to laugh this hard.

JKR really gives us a masterclass in social media use. She has that rare ability to step away, and every time she comes back stronger.

AlfonsoTheMango · 19/07/2021 14:34

It was either in this thread or another (can't recall; sorry) a poster scolding GC posters for having Frances Barber as an "ally" and telling us that we need better allies.

Well, whoever it was - the person who made a pipebomb threat is an ally of yours. Something to think about, eh?

Notice how the coward (I mean troll) protected their profile... pathetic piece of work.

@Helleofabore

I think when people start talking about pipe bombs in mailboxes… I think we know that all those ‘look who you’re aligned with’ arguments will simply die away, yes???

twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1417031300498829315?s=21

Everyone saying she ‘supported porn being posted’… you are ok with this tweet right?

The so-called right side of history:

Wanting a woman to receive a pipe bomb through her letterbox
Putting images of porn on a woman's twitter timeline knowing full well that timeline was hosting artwork from children
Sending unsolicited images of porn to a woman in order to distress and threaten her
Sending death threats to a woman
Sending rape threats to a woman
Sending threats of violence to a woman, including sexual violence
Doxxing women
Threatening employers of women and agitating for women to be fired
Urinating on the office door of a woman
Threatening women attending meetings
Violence, threats and abuse of trafficked women

You chose that side this is what you are supporting and condoning.

paddlingon · 19/07/2021 14:16

My dc are 13, it is absolutely against the law for an adult show them pornography.

Showing children pornography is part of the child sex abuse spectrum.

Your children can be placed on the at risk register if you do this to them.

I can't imagine any non abusing parent being ok with this.

This shouldn't be accepted and isn't part of a healthy debate culture.
It is sexually abusive behavior that no adult and certainly no child should have to accept.

(JKR is fantastic)

FloralBunting · 19/07/2021 14:05

I mean, seriously.

Every single time someone makes an asinine comment about her within my hearing, I am going to bring up the pipe bomb threats. The sexual assault comments are not always appropriate, but the illustrative power of telling people how kind you are while threatening to bomb someone who disagrees with you should sort the shit out good and proper.

FannyCann · 19/07/2021 14:02

Thanks littlbrowndog
I'll take a look when I head out to the shops.

littlbrowndog · 19/07/2021 13:47

I dunno fanny. There is another thread running. Which I didn5 notice to to unspeasonable hot Scottish weather frazzling my brain

FannyCann · 19/07/2021 13:44

How fabulous. How wonderful of The Times to print that. No one can take that down! Grin

Is it just in the Times Scotland? I'm an online subscriber but I'll buy a paper copy to see that in print.

littlbrowndog · 19/07/2021 13:37

Big avert in times Scotland today

I’ll just say this again (in case she ever sees)

I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ JKR

I'll join you in that.

I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ JKR too.

blaming the woman for ignoring their sexual intimidation and turning it into some sort of moral failing on her part

Who was the politician last week who suggested that if a small girl noticed a dick in the Ladies, it was her fault for staring? It's much the same vibe.

DickKerrLadies · 19/07/2021 10:25

If the ''right side of history'' means having to defend this shit and victim blame children, I've never been so fucking pleased to be over here on the ''wrong side''.

Yup.

Novelusername · 19/07/2021 08:59

Just the absolute front of men attempting to sexually intimidate a woman on her Twitter page where she was posting about her free book for children, then blaming the woman for ignoring their sexual intimidation and turning it into some sort of moral failing on her part. Fucking hell, can nobody see what's going on here?! How do they even dare to attempt this take on events?!

IsItShining · 19/07/2021 08:51

By ‘run a promotion’, it sounds like you think she was advertising her book to increase sales.

She wasn’t. She released it online free, in instalments, to entertain children.

She opened a competition to illustrate it (which is why parents were sharing children’s artwork on Twitter), and included some of the children’s drawings in the final published editions.

She is donating the royalties from the published book to charity.

She is an all round good egg (not the finest writer in the world, occasional crass moments, but overall a great storyteller) and does fantastic stuff for children.

Seems a better use of Twitter (and of life) than carping at people online.

snoopy

Very good points

So he thinks its ok to show a 13 year old porn…are there not laws about that?
