Is a piece of shit. I refuse to link to his article in which he explicitly says he hates her and can't wait for the day he can physically assault her.

Can the Kate sycophants tell me again how this all happened to her and is totally normal and acceptable?

With out the full wording or being presented it there is no context.

I've shared a screenshot elsewhere, so you are fully aware of exactly what it says since you commented on it there.

Also being discussed (and fully quoted) in this thread:

@Saucery you can't honestly think that when he sat down to dictate this article he was thinking "how can I satirically reflect back people's prejudices and the media focus on MM?" I don't believe that for a nano second. Even if it was a noble attempt at satire, whoever edited this column should have said, no, Jeremy, this has gone too far.

Well yes, I do believe that. He will do/say/publish anything to make money. He thinks he is clever using the GoT reference. He also knows that many people will just take that reference at face value.
If he can edgelord ££££££ out of racist fools he will.

<slow handclap> to the state of mainstream media these days.

TwasNiceKnowingYa · 17/12/2022 19:15

Feminists, where are you? This should be posted on the feminism board as well. Let's see the outrage.

I saw the blurb posted on another thread. This man is basically inciting violence on MM with that bilge he thinks is edgy or funny. He should be looked into; I wouldn't be surprised if his garage is filled with articles and photos of MM and a red X marked across them. I'm sure he has 'followers' doing the same.

As women who claim to stand with women against violence, we don't want to wait until it's too late, then we start making posts about how deranged men are.

We shouldn't allow such thinly-veiled threat to go unchallenged. Like her or hate her, MM has done nothing to deserve violence incited against her. No one deserves it.

Gagaandgag · 17/12/2022 19:15

Seriously what kind of world are we living in if ‘tv personalities’ who influence thousands of people are allowed to throw out this kind of sick hate. It’s foul. I know she isn’t everyones cup of tea but my god feel so sorry for her

What layers do you believe it has beneath face value? Yes, it shows us what a sewer the media is, no that wasn't his intent. Yes, he wanted to generate controversy and interest, no that doesn't make it satire.

I don't understand why the fact that it's a GOT's reference makes any difference?

Buy better newspapers.

Surprised it wasn’t flushed down the loo..

LexMitior · 17/12/2022 19:23

Well, he's taking the piss, isn't he? And loving every second of outrage.

If people buy it he will write it

Antigonads · 17/12/2022 19:25

Dear me.

Cannot believe anyone cannot see this for what it is.

rumship · 17/12/2022 19:25

Oh it's the Sun news paper, 🙄.Shock horror!

TBH I don't know what else you would expect to read on the Sun. It's like being outraged at Charlie Hebdo or Vis magazine or the Daily sport.

Charlie Hebdo and Vis can be sharp, funny and clever- they call out rubbish- not peddle it

Even if you find it offensive, you have taken the exact wording out of context and put your slant on it, so your just as guilty.

@rumship oh do go away already.

Anyone with a couple of braincells will have figured out exactly how the entire thing was meant. You think that you get to hide behind a TV reference and no one will know?

By the way.. every little bully creep cries 'context' after they've said something indefensible. There was no other context to be had (but you know that).

How about this.. Maybe, just maybe, when you do say something indefensible you don't get to have 'context'. Reckon that'd sort the worst of them out.

Completely agree. I'm sure he finds the thought of angering feminists hilarious and gratifying, but that would only make it all the better to take him down. No one should be allowed a platform to spread hatred and incite violence. Men promoting sexual violence and degradation of women need to be challenged.

Clarkson will truly see a high number of complaints as a badge of honour. It will make him ROAR with laughter and phone all his friends in glee. Best to ignore, it really really is. The man’s a professional Bear Poker.

Yes because he is that type of man isn’t it? Hugely misogynistic and arrogant at that.

However, if we ignore him, we also basically we are ok with that sort of behaviour. Saying nothing is accepting the behaviour.
And we should not.

The Sun can be held accountable. It can't incite violence against women and defend that by saying that's just what the Sun does. We can and should be offended and horrified and speak out against it.

Oh I do love it so when little bully creeps make their heads glow in the dark for me.

NotEvenADisneyDad · 17/12/2022 19:31

An ex-public school boy with a new season of his tv series to promote says shocking things so we all talk about him? He certainly knows how to get attention.

kirinm · 17/12/2022 19:34

I understand that people want to write this off as an attention seeking article but I don't recall reading something in this sort of tone before. There is a difference and I think this feels akin to inciting violence against MM. I hope this article is enough to finish his career.

Notonthestairs · 17/12/2022 19:37

Yes I suppose if they need to publish misogynistic drivel to drive revenue they will - and the backlash only serves to raise awareness. It will be dismissed as banter and it certainly won't finish his career, they'll probably offer him a pay rise and longer articles.
Shaming women is big business.

LosingTheWill2022 · 17/12/2022 19:38

I agree.

EverybodyAgrees · 17/12/2022 19:38

It is different - I have never read anything so explicitly sexually violent in a newspaper before. It's incredibly dark. But I think the tabloids feel emboldened having got away with printing explicit racism about her in the past too.

GreenLunchBox · 17/12/2022 19:40

I'm outraged, disgusted and upset by it. The fact that this is allowed and is part of a campaign of hate against one individual is unbelievable

The monarchy and all the media endorse this.

I don't want to live in a society as hateful as this

And they've now seen the response to the Netflix doc and take it as read that they can say and do what they want. The Royal Family won't step in (they'll dine with them), and the public are braying for her.
