Anyone seen the tweet by Maya tonight about this little animation by Oxfam? Here’s the link:

Aaaand now they've managed to piss off absolutely everyone on all 'sides', if the comments are anything to go by. Amazing.

I have been spreading this message and I know 3 people already who’ve diverted their charity sponsorship from them….they’re disgusting

ArabeIIaScott · 06/06/2023 16:06

They apologise to their 'trans' staff, but not to women? Fuckers!

IcakethereforeIam · 06/06/2023 16:05

Still got the mastectomy scars, 'queer' and someone at the end with a 'love is love' flag.

So they're leaving the blatant racism in then... Idiots!

KalimbaMoon · 06/06/2023 16:03

“We are sorry for the offence it caused”. That’s not a proper apology, Oxfam! Be sorry for doing the damn thing, not for the reaction to it. They need to do better than this.

The new video still uses the word queer, which some LGB people find offensive.

Miranda Yardley tweeted the email oxfam have sent to their staff today. I think his comment is spot on

I refuse to believe this was a coincidence! Racism, antisemitism and misogyny in one nice little bundle

Weasly bet there's lots of shouting in their head office!

Hurried scanning of EA documents... would have loved to have been a fly on the wall then Grin

WarriorN · 06/06/2023 15:50

There must have been a frantic phone call to the law dept this afternoon Grin

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 06/06/2023 15:50

There was no intention to portray any particular person who has GC beliefs, it's just coincidence that the person called a TERF and wearing a badge that mimics the poppy worn by JKR a few years ago looks like JKR, dresses like JKR and has hair like JKR.

Right, got it. OTOH if it looks like bullshit, smells like bullshit....

Hopeless. Concerns raised included children yet: "all people should be able to make decisions about their lives". Of course this word serves to obscure the harm done to girls when they have a double mastectomy, for instance!

Presumably the rest of the video is as it was then.

Ooh 👀
I really hope JKR's lawyers are limbering up

WarriorN · 06/06/2023 15:45

Biological facts are now philosophical beliefs.

Violence against women and girls is a philosophical belief.

What happened to companies just saying ‘we promise not to fire you because you’re gay, and we’ll discipline any employees who harass you because you’re gay’ and meaning it

that seems like a completely adequate way for organisations to mark pride month to me

Signalbox · 06/06/2023 15:25

Boiledbeetle · 06/06/2023 14:13

Ooh what a memorable Pride Month this is turning out to be!

Lol seems to be going so well so far doesn’t it. Only 6 days in. What else can they pull out of the hat 😂

Iafontaine · 06/06/2023 15:22

Further evidence that Oxfam has lost touch with its original values, what a shame.
Well put @FromAMNtter

Well having read the vitriol in this thread and on twitter, have to hand it to Oxfam for calling out the anti LGBT hate and standing strong. Ethics over profits. Rare in this say and age. I'll certainly be shopping more there given their inclusion, and I dont feel as a woman excluded. Far from it.

What are your feelings about the rape of children in Haiti by Oxfam staff? Is that a positive or a negative for you? Ethical or not?

DerekFaker · 06/06/2023 15:07

KalimbaMoon · 06/06/2023 13:28

You know you can be a trans ally and still criticise pro-trans organisations when they make mistakes, don’t you, Mishy? So, in the case of Oxfam we have the Haiti scandal, the blaming of feminists for rape, the erasure of women and their language, the vicious pile-on against an Oxfam worker asking why JK Rowling books couldn’t be on sale, and now this Pride video, which features the use of a misogynistic slur (TERF), racist and ageist imagery, the ghoulish celebration of mastectomy scars, and the red-eyed demonisation of women who dare to raise safeguarding concerns and hold beliefs that are protected in law. Very unethical of them.

As a woman, you are cheering for the wrong team, Mishy. They’d throw you under the bus as soon as look at you. No doubt you lap all this stuff up because you think that showing even a whiff of dissent would put paid to your pure, virtuous “ally” status. Wake up and smell the misogyny.

TRAs don't give a fig about misogyny! It's one of the most self-centred, misogynistic movements around. As long as you kiss their butts in some way, you're golden.

WarriorN · 06/06/2023 15:02

More ratios (and it's going up like a rocket)
