A Geordie lad verses the Woke Stasi

[KatvonHostileExtremist]

I was stumbling around twitter when I came across this little incident, and I was intrigued because it's the first time I've seen working class lads in a twitter spat with the armies of the woke.

This young lad does a (pretty unkind) tweet about rejecting a transwoman on tinder, because they have a penis.

There is a massive pile on, and of cause they try to get him sacked. Hilariously given he plays for a local 7 aside amateur team. The "club" issue statements, which are pounced on. The guy says he's lost his job and home, which is met with glee. He's totally trolling them. Other teams in the league join in, leading the Woke on a merry dance. How can they not tell? HOW??

He then issues an "apology" where he tackles the double standards of hundreds of people attacking him for his looks, telling him to die (!!) Etc. Including, Blair White, an American transwomen and TRA.(watch White be destroyed by Magdaline Burns here:

)

The guy defends his sexual preferences too, and his right to hold those preferences. And I was put in mind of the James Kirkup blog today. Dommy was called a transphobe for rejecting a person based on the fact they have a penis.

The lad did apologise for initial tweet, which I'm glad. Personally I think he crossed the line, in a dick laddy fashion. But it's the moronic, rabid way he's attacked and how he deals with it that i think it's interesting. He's literally laughing at them and they can't tell. They are so young? So naive? But really mob like too.

I don't think the transwoman was too gutted, given the amount of attention now coming their way:mobile.twitter.com/kairahkelly_

Twitter is so insane.

I hope Dommy gets his eyes opened further......

Hang on, hang on... restaurants just atted Lang and she's on the thread....
Just saying like to save lang the stress of having to say "Don't @ me I'm on the thread " all over again

The sight of some people joyfully trampling over a clearly stated boundary is very instructive

If you set your "Looking for..." preferences to "women" you shouldn't get any people with penises showing up.

This would be the Geordie Lad view!

I know, was just wondering why restaurants was still atting her when she's made it perfectly clear that she doesn't want to be when she's on the thread

I think what is being shown is that (some) straight males don't give a shit, they have been socialised to not give a shit, they don't need to be nice. Twitter has not and I very much doubt will ban this lad like it would a GC feminists. Sad as it is there is a social hierarchy and straight males top it. That TRA as males are so used to being at the top they can't see that they can not beat those actually at the top. I have long thought this lunacy will continue until straight men are affected and with this and the Spectator article where straight men are being shamed for not liking penis there is hope the rise will turn.

So no he doesn't seem very nice but then neither are the TRA. As he needs no validation he has less/nothing to loose.

That was in reply to Bernard btw

Dp I'm not familiar with Tinder but I'm intrigued to know whether they would have the category transman/woman? Or are those people going to select their in their head preference of sex classification?

Not sure if that makes sense

I don’t think anything that strays from the twaw line would be seen as acceptable tellme

Good lord, the thread with everything, goady fuckery, assumptions about class, prim arguments about preferences and forum etiquette, and all while discussing that however many wokesters navel gaze on Twitter, straight gobshites who make wanky laddish jokes aren't going to do anything but laugh them to scorn in the real world.

I'm sure we've all learned something today. I learned that I have a ticklish spot on the back of my knee, but that's nothing to do with the thread.

Tellme I'm assume this lad selected male attracted to females so if another penis haver has been matched to him they must surely have selected that they were female attracted to males.

Reading the Stock piece today with all the academics cowed into silence by Twitter storm, then comparing this thread with a bunch of young blokes in a Sunday football team not giving a flying fuck.

That's some juxtaposition of the divisions in this country.

Shocked that I’ve been reported simply for using a feature mumsnet introduced themselves. @LangCleg if you don’t want notifications, you can actually go into your settings and turn them off. Hope this helps :)

OK mabelmylove. To simply highlight someone's name so that they can clearly see they have been mentioned in a thread, without overloading their inbox with pointless emails, simply put an asterisk at either side of their name. That will be one extra click of your keypad and hey presto, immediately you stop looking like a goady individual.

name without the spaces gives name.

HTH

Yes, it's very interesting isn't it?

UrsulaPandress Ahh, like this? Ok, makes sense! Thank you for actually explaining rather than attacking.

@mabelmylove LangCleg has explained clear why they choose not to switch off notifications. If you choose to ignore their wishes, then it would indeed appear that you're being goady.

Hope that helps......

Off topic but I loathe the use of "shaming" as a transitive verb.
Yes, I'm a grammar nazi.
You cannot "shame" someone. Shame is something a person feels. You cannot make someone feel shame; yes, you might use insulting words but the person does not necessarily feel shame.
Nobody can shame me. I'm immune to it.
I've felt shame in the past for this or that thing I've done but not because of someone else's words.
Just saying. These days everything is this-or-that-shaming.
Rant over.

Presumably this is a case of two Bubbles colliding.

The Geordie lad is comfortable within his own football/drinking lad bubble.

The Anime mob stick within their own woke bubble.

By posting something about a transwoman with a penis, that he thought his mates would find funny, he has enraged the woke mob, who are not used to having their rules challenged. His mates though, do find it funny and are encouraging him. Their opinions are the ones that matter.

Both groups perhaps broaden their horizons. Twitter won't do anything about the hate as lads are a big market, and thete are plenty of lad mags who would provide print space.

GC women, instead get bullied and blocked. Possibly lads do support better than the sisterhood. Possibly because we are more determined to try and please everyone. I've never studied feminism so happy to be told the reason.

Yes, it's very interesting isn't it?

It just screams astroturf, right?

Who knew the @ functionality could be so effective not in notifying people but in derailing a discussion?

If it had just been explained properly in the first place nobody would have had to get so confused and ask so much though.

Twitter is so fucking childish and dumb. Timely reminder of why I just can’t deal with it.

Where is the original tweet?

If it had just been explained properly in the first place nobody would have had to get so confused and ask so much though.

It WAS explained properly. I'm also older and understood it at "Linda's" (sorry, I just have to at that -- are you really a Linda?) very first request. I didn't know it was think not to at people on a thread (I like being atted!) but if I'd been politely asked not to do so I'd have refrained. But it went on and on and on....
