JKR and more bomb threats

You know, the more '#bekind', the more death threats. It's an odd correlation.

YY Artichoke.

I'm also taken aback by how there often seems to be an inverse proportion of some kind going on by how much someone lavishly describes themselves as 'kind, loving, fair, wants to help others' and goes on about their wonderful selfless personality - and how horrible they actually are in interpersonal interactions.

I suspect rather like safeguarding, many such courses are 'time served' rather than any kind of demonstration of learning and competence being required. a hamster could be certified in many courses if it was registered on arrival and collected a certificate on the way out.

This really needs to change.

I think he may have failed the course. Or misunderstood what he was supposed to do 😂

'End ISBA official Twitter revealed M was one of its team members certified by Ohana Zero Suicide in crisis awareness training. Just prior to deactivating his Twitter account, M abused women critical of gender ideology and, in at least one archived instance, suggested a feminist commit suicide.'

That's a novel way of putting crisis awareness training into practise.

He is against ' Image Based Sexual Abuse ' especially revenge porn! This young lad is terribly confused. Typical Toytown revolutionary from UCD. Probably not dangerous but I hope he gets at least a caution.

Oh @MishyJDI looks like it was a trans person after all, we weren’t just making assumptions. Wonder how the traliban will spin this. I bet ‘not really a trans person’.

Twat behind bomb threats unmasked & of course he’s some kind of social warrior.

Misogynistic twat unmasked

I have never, in my whole fucking life, heard anything as abhorrent as politicians saying rape victims or women who'd experienced domestic violence should not talk about the experience because it was 'weaponising their trauma'. I'll never get over that, I don't think.

Quite.

It's at that point, it becomes clear that all this airy fairy exotic language is nothing good, nothing progressive and should not be tolerated, and the deal is off.

You cannot engage reasonably with a person who is unreasonable. You cannot play games involving this power imbalance with someone who can talk the hind leg off a donkey trying to convince you to co operate nicely with being abused.

Two minutes on the relationship board nails exactly what this is and women here recognise it. It's time for the Freedom Programme, for Lundy Bancroft, for strong boundaries and a world of no, because women on MN get abusive behaviour that comes dressed up like this. Here we teach other women to get it too. We teach them about the scripts and the techniques, and how to not enable it. And this is primarily why they hate us so very much.

No, it’s not something I thought I’d ever hear in my lifetime.

It's worse than that.

Women don't even need to state an opinion, say anything about biology or facts or anything as definite as that. We're just not to ever point out anything that is inconvenient to the male-centering narrative.

If a woman (JKR) calls out the death/rape threats, she is 'punching down' on self expression.

If a woman points out the harm being done to her, she is 'weaponising her trauma'.

I have never, in my whole fucking life, heard anything as abhorrent as politicians saying rape victims or women who'd experienced domestic violence should not talk about the experience because it was 'weaponising their trauma'. I'll never get over that, I don't think.

No, you got it right the first time Margarita.

On the plus side, this thread has reminded me to pre-order the new Strike book, so JKR 1: TRAs 0

Why would any one else care? I'm sick of reading of the excusers and #bekind

This is the clearest explanation of what is going on I have read

First rule of misogyny innit. Women are responsible for men's actions. Also second rule, women saying no to men is a hate crime.

Just because a male person transitions to live as a woman doesn't necessarily mean he gives up the rights and privileges of male behaviour.

I don't make up these rules it's just how it is.

Oh yes. I think there used to be a name for them… womb..wom….wim… women, that’s the one!

It’s interesting how it’s really clear which class of people need to be kind, isn’t it?

I’d watch that!

So hold on, I thought we were all supposed to #bekind? Or is that only women? If I identify as a transwoman am I allowed to issue death threats with no consequences?

From that fucking awful article in 'Politico':

'...in April, Rowling responded to an amateur music video with lyrics “J.K. hope you fit in a hearse” by tweeting a public complaint — eliciting a howl of protest from the original poster (whose video was taken down by Twitter).

“The most powerful TERF in the world (billionaire, lives in castle, 14.1M followers) sent a mob after me (broke, lives with mom, 1.1k followers),” tweeted Faye Fadem, the bedroom producer behind the video and a trans woman. “She made a conscious choice to target me because she felt threatened by a young trans woman expressing herself. If u want to come in here and say ‘but u did death threat’ I’m an artist with 0 power expressing myself.”

Last year, Rowling accused three trans activists of “doxxing” her after they posted a photo of their protest in front of her Edinburgh mansion that included her address — easily discovered information. The activists took so much heat from Rowling’s followers that they deleted the photo — and their accounts.

Trans-rights advocates say Rowling, a self-professed expert at monster creation, is using those skills to whip up a false narrative that casts trans people as a threat to women and their rights.'

There you go. Death threats are 'expressing myself'. And to speak up if someone issues you a death threat is 'monster creation' whipping up a 'false narrative'.

Newsflash: It's not 'false narrative' to say that someone issuing threats is ... a threat.

I love JK. She is my inspiration. I think it confuses them because she won’t back down, and that encourages a lot of other people to not back down. Personally I hope she does a sequel to Harry potter, and only casts people who haven’t vilified her. I think that’s why Warner did an about face. If she exerts her rights, she can pull all merch and advertising.

The person referred to had about 20 followers, JKR has 13.9M

the number of Twitter followers a person has has absolutely zero bearing on how dangerous/powerful/vulnerable they are. None.
