Ah, I've worked out why teacakes are twittering now, but can anyone clarify why tambourines?

@BreadInCaptivity

That video was a classic.

Not only did they give us tambourine TRA we also got to see gaslighting at its finest in the form of the guy who grabbed and destroyed the counter protesters poster leaving him with the stick it was attached to (saying I love Dave - obviously a very dangerous sentiment) then crying out "he's got a weapon" a chant taken up by some others in the crowd. Hmm

Honestly it's well worth a watch. They come across as utterly unhinged.

As for the tea cakes I bet Turnocks are whooping with joy at the publicity and at increased sales by virtue of women all over the county like me being reminded of how nice they are and adding them to my shopping list.

The best bit is the TRA who destroyed the poster is identified as a writer for Netflix. Not only did he do that violent act, he is the one who shouted about the weapon. In an American context that is very dangerous as he well knew, because the police might take out their guns and shoot.

Lack of self awareness. Oh it will come, it will come. One night they will be sleeping - like a baby - in their comfortable bed... they will suddenly waken, sweat in their brow, pulse racing, heart ponding... “oh dear god, I did what????? And there are video receipts to prove it...” they will end up confessing to their nearest and dearest. And of their N&D are anything like my family, they will never be allowed to forget it. The image will be printed on Christmas cards and birthday cakes for years to come. Someone will add it as their ringtone then hide the phone at a family funeral. They will forever be introduced at or toes as ‘remember...? Well, here they are!’ It will be relentless.

And that will be that. 😘

Or them??

DraintheBlood · 23/10/2021 16:33

*who birthed they

DraintheBlood · 23/10/2021 16:29

Motherfucker is such a gendered term, how can they not see it’s transphobic? Inclusive insults are important, ‘repent parent or carer or nb, agender or genderfluid nurture giver’ would be much more inclusive.

How misgendery to assume that they the tra’s are insulting has a cis gender uterus haver who birthed him and misexually to assume he is het.

Gosh TRA’s should go on diversity and inclusion insult training.

On a serious note I was so hoping he’d say ‘they took my stick, I am now a woman’. But I guess that’s highly penis exclusionary of me.

Ah, was wondering about the tambourines.

picklemewalnuts · 23/10/2021 16:10

That was hilarious in a horrifying kind of way. Thank you so much for posting it!

ErrolTheDragon · 23/10/2021 16:04

It's the lack of self-awareness that gets me - if I were tambourine person I'd be waking up at 3am cringing myself inside out. Somehow I think they is going to sleep like a baby, totally believing in their actions.

They might be cringing that they used the apparently controversial word 'mother' I suppose?

TheWeeDonkey · 23/10/2021 16:01

That video was like some surreal kind of performance art.

I'm trying to think how I can explain it to people who don't know anything about it and I don't know if I can.

Shouting "[Vito] has a weapon" in an emotionally-charged crowd when there are armed police present is not at all an attempt to get Vito killed. Nothing to see here. Move along.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 23/10/2021 15:48

@LangificusClegasaurous

According to Vito, the guy who broke his sign, then pushed the stick in Vito's hand upright as he shouted "He's got a weapon" is a writer at Netflix. I hope whoever his boss was saw that footage. Also, another comedian who came with Vito was pushed into a planter and was afraid he had a concussion.
And, I have to admit, that I hadn't grasped that this was an attempt to draw Vito to the attention of LEOs who might have tackled, tasered, or otherwise harmed him because of that framing.

The whole Dave Chapelle protest looked like something from a Monty Python sketch
Are there any women here? ...... No, no, nope. 😂

BatmansBat · 23/10/2021 15:25

Haha, not yet FindTheTruth. Great minds obviously think alike!

O thankyou everyone! Brilliant info gathering there - I was having a laugh at the Tunnocks Teagate lunacy and came back to this. Now following everything Tunnocks on Twitter - they don't seem to have insta tho.

Teacakes and Tambourines

I think I will buy several boxes of teacakes and send with the DCs to school for snacks every day Grin. With any luck they will persuade other children of how good they are. And get their parents to buy some.

I feel confident that we women with children can increase sales on this Grin.

The tambourine person is seriously unwell.

Helleofabore · 23/10/2021 15:02

It has been an eye opening week for trans protests. The hypocrisy of the sexual violence shown by the activists at the Filia conference with many survivors of sex abuse and rape.

The Chapelle supporter who had his sign broken, was then subject to being falsely, loudly and dangerously accused of his sign’s stick being called a weapon by that same person, then the motherfucker repent tambourine person. All being reported as it being the Chapelle supporters aggression and being at fault.

To the person screaming across at the venue for the LGBA conference having a go at the deaf person’s attempt to put captions to their words and showing that they were screaming rubbish.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 23/10/2021 15:01

@KittenKong

Plot twist! From twitter ‘Activist behind Netflix walkout over ‘transphobic’ comedy special has made bigoted tweets against Asians and homosexuals in the past’ well well well.
And, like Aimee Challenor (as was), had worked on Elizabeth Warren's campaign.

DogDaysNeverEnd · 23/10/2021 14:56

Interesting. Can anyone work out how many protesters there are (on either side) versus "press"? They say the behaviour of animals changes when they are being watched and I wonder if the same is true in a protest. Are people playing for the camera, albeit in a very bizarre way?

This is gloriously unhinged Grin

Surely calling someone a motherfucker is literal violence though.
And the use of the word 'repent'... interesting.

JellySaurus · 23/10/2021 14:49

How on earth can that be real!?!? Surely it's some sort of TRA-mocking skit? It's just too utterly ridiculous.

(Perhaps I'm expecting sensible behaviour from the wrong people Confused)
