"JK Rowling is a gold-plated hero': Author Anthony Horowitz blasts cancel culture"

@Beowulfa

You enjoy NCIS?

As I said, you're not the most effective communicator.

So just to be clear, when you said "First Horowitz defends Rollings right to say whatever she likes against trans-ideology" that's not the criticism it appears to be, it's just a neutral fact, and you don't disagree with it?

I mean, instead of being opaque, and hinting, you could just write normally.

For instance, do you agree that J. K. Rowling can practice free speech, along with maya Forstater. And Anthony Horowitz's defence of it is perfect acceptable?

I don't have much expectation of a sensible answer, to be honest.

While you are still here ploppsy

Can we please have evidence for this claim?

The basic immutable point of all this being that those who defend Rowling’s free speech against trans ideology can also be observed trying to shut down free speech for others by either calling it “hate” or “prejudice” (examples of this phrase being used are present in these posts).

Since it is 'immutable', link us up to those defending Rowling's right to free speech shutting down other's free speech.

And please also link us up to the evidence that it was transphobic.

You don’t have britbox? How can you live without an Apple TV? Just get one and get all available channels, it’s well worth it. They even include a lot of old stuff people from echo chambers haven’t got banned yet. All of Horowitz best TV work is on there! Im finishing of a midsummer murders I started with dinner, Troy is the best assistant (had chicken burger and chips, having an iced chai tea now, just typing as I pop into the pantry for a few dark Ferraro).

Can you cite an example of anyone on this board calling for the banning of TV shows?

Personally I was intrigued by the poster who said she was re-watching Buffy with her teenage daughter, and using it as a starting point for discussing unhealthy relationships. I've also had an interesting debate about female characters on NCIS, and crime drama in general. Banning wasn't mentioned.

I think Sixteen Candles has dated terribly, but I wouldn't prevent teen girls watching it at a sleepover. I'd love to see their reactions.

I know Rufus. I share your disappointment.

Oh no! I got deleted! I must have written something that 'went against the grain'... or at least, someone's 'grain'.

Or maybe I said the quiet part out loud?

Well this is just very disappointing

😒

Oh goodness thread end NOW

(Plopper said so)

Idly wonders whether plopper's "babe" spotted the tired old patriarchal behaviour of a man landing on a feminist board in order to lecture women about their failings??

Did your "babe" make your dinner for you while you played golf? How very progressive and ahead the times of her. That sounds like an unhealthy dinner, you should have had a side of your own word salad with it.

NOW

I wonder if Plopper's partner realises she is called 'my girl' and 'my babe' whether she understands how male's have a history of using that to infantilise grown women and, in the past, to convey ownership.

I am sure she finds it a wonderful thing though and that she is laughing at how cutting edge Plopper is.

Maybe she'd like to come on and interpret Plopper's posts for us so we can find the coherent train of thought instead of just rambling sentences.

So Plopper, are you still unable to reconcile your verbal and enthusiastic support of free speech, with criticising Horowitz for defending it?

Showing that fail to your family is a bit odd, but I'm not surprised they found it funny.

No my babe, she’s been over 18 for several years. Sorry for the confusion.

and

she was shocked at how behind the times and unaware folks were

OK. We feel very ashamed of ourselves and will strive really hard to become more 'aware' of how far behind the times we are based on 'your babe's' opinion. You have used 'low bar' on MN, I think it obviously is projection.

Do direct her to Classics, _chat and any other topics she finds interesting.

Your juvenile daughter?

I would like to know why a poster is being so transphobic as to make a point of mentioning the person that was a scout leader who was connected to Maya's court case.

If ploppy is going to be deleted, it is likely for highlighting the 'bearded ladies'. I mean that sounds like a very targeted remark.

*I found this article about writing women last night!

www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/if-women-wrote-men-the-way-men-write-women*

Was 50 Shades Of Grey in fact a clever parody of shit male writers all along?

For the record, I agree with Horowitz's support of Rowling. If he were also to tweet that Scouts is lame and now run by bossy bearded feminazis, I would disagree with him but defend his right to post shite.

So many questions about why those who are so critical of women find their way here?? But life's too short to spend too much time on it.......

In answer to Purgatory's question - I've just placed an order for Horowitz's Magpie Murders (the book) which is on Britbox from tomorrow. Sadly no Britbox .

Oh! Goats There is more now than when I looked yesterday.

I take it all back with apologies. This is NOT one of the regulars of this board having a bit of a joke. This is just a garden standard plopper like we used to get at midnight.

It is so hilarious though they we have been told that there is absolutely no prejudice behind any of their posts. .... ok.... we are now blind as well as lacking in reading comprehension.
