Posie Parker Interview

[wprice81]

Is anyone else aware that Posie is doing an interview with controversial youtuber, j.f. gariepy? didn't expect to see that...

I specifically posted in relation to the substance of Posie’s campaign. The people complaining about a lack of substance here have ignored it.

It’s almost like you are not interested in what Posie is campaigning for... or perhaps you oppose it.

Hence wanting us to agree that Posie Is Simply Too Ghastly For Words and any Good Proper Lady simply MUST ignore the substance of her campaign.

Nah. Fuck yez.

And I say that, not as a “fan girl” but as someone who disagrees with some of what PP says and does.

datuns post seemed perfectly clear to me. Interesting that some would rather focus on that than the substance of what PP campaigns for.

It’s almost like you are not interested in what Posie is campaigning for... or perhaps you oppose it.

I have to say, I think it's the latter.

Posie is so fucking clear on what she's campaigning for - her statement explains it. Her fb, her videos, explain it. But people are still going on about stuff that has already been answered - and literally believing the quite outrageous lies told about her on twitter. Like asking about her views on abortion. Because the've believed the lies about her being pro-life, just because she met up with WOLF in the US. Well she's pro-life.

It's a painfully obvious attempt to discredit her.

Posie is pro-choice - she just met up with some pro-life women for an event in the US.

An event held for parents of transitioning children. And the reason the event was held by WOLF was because nobody else would host the event.

Because they probably would get the same amount of hassle as the Canadian library is getting for hosting Meghan Murphy. Because that's what happens.

I can't think who would see anything good about the alt right.

I don't agree with what they stand for, if you do then I suppose that's your business but I won't be agreeing that you're right.

Tequila, yet again you've spectacularly missed the the point.

Butterisbest

I don't understand the point you are making.

You think I should respect opinions that are different to mine? Is that what you are saying?

An event held for parents of transitioning children. And the reason the event was held by WOLF was because nobody else would host the event.

Something which the parents have reiterated, wolf have reiterated and Posie has reiterated, over and over.

But hey, why let facts get in the way.

I'm sorry, I refuse to see anything good that the alt right could have to say. Do you think the Nazis had any good points? Nice uniforms maybe?

Right, well, not much point in having a conversation with someone who only chooses to see things that they want to see. But that's about the level this sort of Nazi argument is at too, so...

I can respect opinions on the far right/far left/alt right. What I can't respect is that posie is aligning with the alt right just thtough having an interview with them.

If Posie was aligned with the alt-right - she'd own it. She's very honest about her opinions, and frankly, believing the slurs circulating on twitter, about her and calling her FB page "too fan girly" - without listening to what she's actually saying makes you look foolish.

Posie is pro-choice - she just met up with some pro-life women for an event in the US.

Is tis even really the point though? Obviously she'd probably rather have people not misrepresent her views, but what if she was pro-life, or takes more of a mixed view? Does that mean all of a sudden anything she says should be discounted and anything she does is wrongheaded? Within the context of this discussion, it seems pretty irrelevant what her views on abortion are, so why would they be brought up? It's just more of this check-box orthodoxy.

Should say I can respect people's opinions on far right, far left etc.

People haven't said the points she was making or her posts were fan girling though - they were referring to the fawning fan girling of people in the comments

butterisbest your post was good and perfectly clear. Some posters oppose what Posie is campaigning for. When you realise that, these 813 posts (many nonsensical) make perfect sense.

I’m not a fan girl. Here is what PP is campaigning about.

Well why don't you just read posie's posts then, wotcha?

Goosefoot, I should have been clearer - I was specifically referring to Tequila who had asked about posie's stance on abortion - to me, it's clear tequila had been listening to twitter slurs resulting from posie attending the wolf event, and then assuming that posie was pro-life. People shouldn't listen to these slurs.

Like I said - they use any stick to beat her with.

zebrasdontwearbras

I haven't listened to any Twitter slurs because I don't look at any of this stuff on twitter.

All that I know about PP I've got from this site and all that I know about her trip to the US comes from the threads on here, posted at the time, and specifically from the posts by another respected poster.

I truly don't understand the comments about respecting the opinions of the far right. I cannot respect racist, misogynistic, anti Semitic, anti Islamic, opinions.

So you assumed that posie was pro-life because she attended an even with some pro-life women, Tequila, and because people come on here and post those same twitter slurs about her. Very short-sighted of you. Its really not difficult to ascertain that posie is pro-choice - but regardless - I've confirmed that for you now.

I didn't assume, I asked what her views were.

And they weren't Twitter slurs that were posted on here as far as I know..it was a statement posted by someone who is well respected on this board.

Tbh, this is the risk you take when you associate with people who have extreme views. You run the risk that people will think you share the same beliefs.

Well, wherever you heard the slur - now you know the truth, Tequila.

I truly don't understand the comments about respecting the opinions of the far right. I cannot respect racist, misogynistic, anti Semitic, anti Islamic, opinions.

It is a matter of respecting their right to hold and express opinions that I find abhorrent, not respecting the opinions.

It's like they think that if they repeat the same thing often enough people will believe it even if they didn't the first 50 times.

PS Posie has a web presence if anyone wants to ask her what her views are on anything. Her, not other people who, not being her, won't be able to answer that question.

Goosefoot, I should have been clearer - I was specifically referring to Tequila who had asked about posie's stance on abortion

Right - I think I was agreeing with you - I wasn't really thinking specifically about your comment and I wasn't clear about that - I was thinking far back in the thread, where it seemed to keep coming up, mainly it seemed to be an attempt to prove that somehow she is working against feminism so any feminist must oppose whatever she does. But she seems like a fairly reasonable person, whatever her view on abortion I'd tend to think it was considered carefully, and its also a topic where you can find a fair bit of variation across the political spectrum anyway.

Thanks Goosefoot - you've made good points on this thread.
