Thank you!

TRAs are aggressive because their ideology can't take scrutiny.

I don't know how to do a share link. It just lists some of the misogynist, abusive insults thrown at her. This is my fave bit:

The abusive replies, almost all of which were sent by individuals rather than by campaign groups, were often tweeted under pseudonyms from accounts with anime avatars.

Thank you!

aggressive tweeting and threats of violence is all they have in their armoury. i am fairly new to this debate but can see clearly which side is right . most people can.

i do wonder if alot of those anime accounts are bots? are they real people?
i am not on twitter but look now and again and you see the exact same words/ phases again and again about a subject - whatever it may be - and I wonder if they are all bots

I think twitter is increasingly army bots fighting against each other and not real people at all.

I'm glad that the abuse JKR received has been documented in a 'proper' place like a leading and well-respected national newspaper. It's more difficult to delete or remove the abusive comments when they are quoted in a newspaper article. I like to think this article has been written with future historians in mind.

Can't read it, but the hag comments are laughable. Her age/ appearance is irrelevant but for the record, I think she's very beautiful. Which of course only makes them hate her more.

The abusive replies, almost all of which were sent by individuals rather than by campaign groups

Almost all is rather notably not all. Do we have a list of the ones that just couldn't restrain themselves?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if news outgoings started referring to it as a row over women's rights or a row over the erosion of women's rights.

*outlets

That article is great though (and awful)

Completely agree @rubidium and thanks for the token

Wow the times certainly told it like it was. Am I write in thinking supporting that paper is also supporting The Sun, though? Or has that changed? So we have one paper fuelling violence against women and a ' big sister' paper condemning it?

Thank you for sharing this article. Actual accurate reporting of the situation.
