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

@KittenKong

Oh and Kevin (?) was wrongly shown captioned as shouting obscenities (he wasn’t), and they had to reception the images and ‘apologise’
Vito is the Dave Chapelle guy who was wrongly captioned as yelling violent things (see Jess Singal thread).

iirc, Kevin is the poor automated captioning of what the protester was yelling at the attendees of the LGB Alliance conference. (I know, it's hard to keep up.)

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.

Repent MotherTunnocks

😆 I hadn't seen that yet - that's fab!

Here’s a link to the Repent Motherfucker Repent video. It really doesn’t not show the TRAs in a good light 😂

there's a lot of laughter about the absurdity online - hence the while tambourine thing.

With an inevitable UK crossover of Repent MotherTunnocks

There was a counter protest to support Dave Chapelle at the Netflix Headquarters where some employees and TRA's had gathered to protest Netflix hosting Chapelle's latest stand-up show. The counter protesters had signs saying things like 'I love Dave' and 'jokes are funny'. One of the guys with a 'I love Dave' sign had it snatched off him and ripped to pieces and was then accused of holding a weapon (the stick the destroyed sign had been attached to). During all this, someone was dancing about, shaking a tambourine, while shrieking 'repent motherfuckers' while someone else in a stripy t-shirt tried their best to have someone prod or poke them by accident so they could shout that they were being attacked.

It's made the TRA's look unhinged, frankly and there's a lot of laughter about the absurdity online - hence the while tambourine thing.

Ooh! Was it motherfucker not sinner? My bad, I had to rely on reports of it, no sound at work!!
Understandable, it had a very religious exorcism vibe about it. I wondered if it were a version of the Jericho Walk (with tambourines).

The tambourine is a reference to the Netflix Twitter team walk out over Dave Chapelle. One young woman shakes a tambourine in the face of a supporter screaming "repent, sinner, repent" in a most amusing fashion.

And yes to the teacakesWink

It's the netflix protest against Dave Chappelle where a TRA shakes a tamborurine at a counter protester comedian (standing up for comedians 'I like Dave' and 'Dave is funny') saying 'repent motherfucker'. the video is hilarious. thread on here about it
