This was an interesting read. It seems IW has taken to channeling Katie Hopkins. I'm not going to try and pull it apart as there is so so much wrong with it...

"I’m sure most people who use the site are decent folk. They want nothing to do with the rabid mouth-frothing going on by so-called “feminists.”"

If this thread gets back on track will someone let minnow?

PositivelyPERF · 25/04/2018 13:28

I don’t pass on information UpstartCrow. That would make me a trout.

PositivelyPERF · 25/04/2018 13:29

Awk haddocks! That strike through didn’t work! Blush

You wouldn't want to be a coley-aborator.

womanhuman · 25/04/2018 13:42

Oh for fucks hake, you guys.

ErrolTheDragon · 25/04/2018 13:44

You might want to stay away from the net...

Fish puns are simply brill

@RefuseToDenounceBiology

I think the deletions were about whether India passes or not based on India's appearance. I think I am right in saying comments about male attitudes/behaviours can still stand.

Not so - the mods are objecting to naming what I see - i.e. sex and attitude- so like Maria MacLachlan I was sanctioned by the Judge. Gotta know my plaice

Arkengarthdale · 25/04/2018 13:46

You mad lot Grin

womanhuman · 25/04/2018 13:58

Herring we all are, haddocking a laugh, making (poor) fish puns. Just like the Netzis.

You krilly couldn’t make it up.

SpiderwebHammock · 25/04/2018 13:58

It doesn't make feminists look bad, because it is blatantly ridiculous, but what it does do effectively is minimise Nazi mass-murder.

I'm not Jewish, so was hesitant to post this (because WTF do I know, right?), but it makes me really uncomfortable that this minimisation of fascism and the holocaust is coming at a time when anti-Semitic attacks are at an all-time high and so entrenched in the Labour Party. (Although 'uncomfortable' isn't really the right word.)

SpiderwebHammock · 25/04/2018 14:00

Although perhaps I should say en-tenched? (Sorry)

Popchyk · 25/04/2018 14:03

Fish puns. When people are being literally genocided on Twitter as we speak?

Seariously, you guys?

Nicola Sturgeon won't be happy.

OohMavis · 25/04/2018 14:05

Well I'm too busy to go save lives on Twitter atm. Salmon else'll have to do it.

TerfsUp · 25/04/2018 14:09

You codn't make it up.

Monstamio · 25/04/2018 14:11

Mind if I perch here?

womanhuman · 25/04/2018 14:31

Salmon else 😂

BlackeyedSusan · 25/04/2018 14:42

Plaicemark for later.

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 25/04/2018 14:59

No idea why my post was deleted, I made no misgendering or appearance based comments! Confused

RefuseToDenounceBiology · 25/04/2018 15:13

I realised I had one deleted for commenting on a certain someone's rapid decline which I conjectured may end up with screaming at cyclists whilst drinking spirits from bottles... Def no appearance or pronouns... I think it is now taboo to mention crazed behaviour becoming increasingly crazed or where that leads...

womanformallyknownaswoman · 25/04/2018 15:16

I think it depends which mod you get as well plus whether one is the target of payback reporting - which the mods ignore

Should1stayorshould1go · 25/04/2018 15:33

Just plaicemarking. I quite like all the carping on this thread.

TerfsUp · 25/04/2018 15:48

I dory this thread.

TerfsUp · 25/04/2018 15:49

I hope IW doesn't mind us taking a pike at them.

Thanksforthatamazingpost · 25/04/2018 16:26

Fwiw I’ve changed my mind about “Sarah is male” type comments and now support them staying on the board. My mind was changed after I attempted to explain the trans debate to my husband using preferred pronouns and terms like “trans lesbian” and realised after a few minutes that he’d not followed the basic meaning and didn’t know who was what sex.

No wonder our teen thinks you can have a chromosome transplant...
