Page 6 | JKR and more bomb threats

achillestoes · 2022-07-02T05:59:37+00:00

JKR posted on Twitter that a user of another account posted her address, a picture of a pipe bomb and a handbook for making bombs. If you are defending these people, you are defending terrorism now. It’s incredible how low they will go and still try to claim the moral high ground (although I suppose that’s space and they can’t really help thinking they should have all the space?).

You’d think a good decade after Deathly Hallows was released that EW would have found some decent roles and moved on, if she dislikes JKR that much. All I can remember is that she was in The Circle (bad), Beauty and the Beast (the cartoon did it better) and Noah (I couldn’t finish that).

J K Rowling is completely correct in retweeting the threat. Why should she have to hide it? Is it because it further undermines the already failed 'most oppressed' claim?

Conflictedunicorn · 02/07/2022 09:01

What @justgotosleepffs said. Not one famous trans activist has ever condemned the bullying and abuse, not just to JKR, but to anyone. In fact some, (Shon Faye), joined the pile on. I’m always of the opinion that if you have to issue threats and commit violence to persuade people to subscribe to your ideology, then your ideology is flawed and needs to be condemned

I’m actually increasingly disgusted by Emma Watson. She’s happy to profit from JKR’s imagination and actually encouraging the severance of JKR and her copyright (not that that’s going to happen) so she can make a grandiose return to the franchise... and at the same time she doesn’t seem to care that the person whose work made her rich is being threatened with rape and death.

I wouldn’t mind her disagreeing with JKR and stepping back, or saying what she likes about trans rights. That’s her prerogative, as it is everyone’s. It’s the way she wants to be involved as well, as if she is more central to the brand than the person whose mind it came from, that nauseates me.

She retweeted asking for the account to be reported so twitter would remove a tweet giving her home address. How else to get twitter to take notice?

How do any of you know a trans person is behind this? Talk about jump to conclusions and condemnation. Let the evidence be pursued and justice follow, rather than piling in….

It's irrelevant whether an actial transperson is the perpetrator. What mayters is thst this is being done in the name of Trans Rights.

When the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened, there we loads of Muslims speaking out against it, imams going on TV to condemn terrorism, ordinary muslims saying they are devastated thst this has been done in their name.

So where are all the ordinary trans people when JKR gets sent a very clear threat of violence? Why doesn't a someone like Munroe Bergdorf/Grace Lavery/Shon Faye who has a great deal of influence speak out against killing JKR? Or perhaps a sportsperson like Emily Bridges or Rachel-Veronica McKinnon-Ivy? Why aren't organisations like Mermaids and Stonewall issuing public statements that say "Just to be clear, we don't think it's okay to bomb people's houses"?

When JKR posted her essay on why she supports single-sex spaces, pretty much everyone who'd been associated with the movie was in the news or on social media within a week to tell us they disagree with her. So Daniel, Rupert and Emma, you support trans rights. We get it. But what do you think about people who threaten to rape and kill JKR in the name of trans rights? What's that? Silence.....

Well if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck. If you are familiar with terfisaslurcom, you will know this unrestrained hostility towards gender critical women and specifically towards JKR is par for the course.

FunnyTalks · 02/07/2022 08:47

When Stonewall has made the trans umbrella so wide as to be meaningless, its kind of irrelevant whether the perpetrator is trans or not. I always separate trans ideology from trans people for this reason and because many trans people do not support the ideology. It is the institutions, organisations, government departments and vocal privileged "allies" who need to sort themselves out and realise what their promotion of a misogynist homophobic ideology is leading to.

Terrorists are usually found to also be perpetrators of domestic violence. Women are a known target for some terrorists. As are homosexual people. These are yet more reasons why gender ideology seeking to obscure sex categories puts us more at risk

Best thing the press could would be to redact the name and avatar. That would send these idiots raging. They can’t claim the kudos if they’re nit identified, and surely they wouldn’t be stupid enough to identify themselves.. would they?

I think it’s the Home Office we need to target (with emails and letters, before anyone gets excited). PCCs would be sensible to contact but too many are captured.

‘but they need to stand up and condemn this shit. This is being done in their name.’

Many trans people are vulnerable people with significant mental health problems. They aren’t responsible for what an aggressive minority choose to do. But the rest of us really have had enough of it, and we need the government to intervene and sort out the priorities of the police. Misgendering isn’t a crime. Threatening to blow up someone’s house or body is a crime.

I could not agree more with you. The police are hopeless in England at the moment. What to do? Maybe we should each report every single incident until their admin burden becomes intolerable. Email to local crime commissioner?

There's a type of person who will escalate through levels of offending until they hit a boundary. The police will have a hell of a lot to answer for when this level of escalating confidence ends up in someone really being hurt. The political cause is irrelevant: the offending behaviour is perfectly obvious. It's insane that women are arrested for stating biological fact but social media is littered with death threats perfectly acceptable because they're from one particular political view.

Ffs would the government of this country get a bloody grip.

Very true.

Re whether the poster was trans, if they say they are trans, they are trans so can’t be “fake trans”. And whether they are trans or not, they are using the flag, which makes them a trans rights activist.

What I really don’t get is how tweeting a tasteless joke about bombing an airport ends up in a prison sentence but a tweet advocating bombing an author and her family and providing a handbook and address to do it is absolutely fine.

Because transpeople are the most oppressed and vulnerable people ever so anything they do is acceptable and righteous.

‘I imagine most accounts with 15 million followers+ get these sort of threats often, if you retweet you're feeding the troll and encouraging others.’

I want to see what is happening as a result of the widespread public monstering of JKR. The journalists, writers, blue tick ‘feminists’, high profile activists, actors, singers etc who have joined in with the barrage of hatred directed towards her should see it too. It’s entirely in the public interest.

She probably has taken it to the police, they don’t seem to have done anything about any previous rape and death threats but i live in hope

she can tweet what she likes…bit weird saying she shouldn’t retweet and not making a comment about the original tweet

Sunlight is the best medicine, but also she can tweet what she likes - she isn’t the one sending death threats.

Going by his Twitter name he is Irish or lives here.
Some poor ould Mammy is dying of embarrassment now. 😳

It's quite possible he isn't trans tbh. Just a messed up fantasist or 'stylist' as they used to be known. Reeks of attention seeking. But then..
you never know. I hope the police have been informed.
