Stephen King retweets JKR

[ScrimpshawTheSecond]

A Dworkin quote.

[MrsPeacockInTheLibrary]

Genuine question as I am taking a break from Twitter - is anyone asking the TRAs/ tracking the replies or seeing if he is being threatened with rape and cancelled etc?

[Lamahaha]

Where are all the others??

Hope they come out of hiding. It would be great to see a few Booker Prizewinners supporting her.

That Marlon James' quite has left a nasty taste in my mouth. They can't ALL be woke?

(But then again, Booker Prizewinners are not necessarily commercially successful and financially secure enough to come out. It's a prestige prize rather than a lottery ticket.)

[Lamahaha]

^^ quite = quote

He has pinned the tweet to his page. The lad is not for turning

Awesome. Fingers crossed! I love his books.

I think JK has very cleverly changed the stage. Women's rights Vs trans rights scares people or invokes the 'be kind' kneejerk; freedom of speech is a much easier sell.

[thelikelylass]

Stephen King you beaut!

[ScrimpshawTheSecond]

freedom of speech is a much easier sell.

It's also one of the most frightening and wrong-headed things about the TRA movement.

Anyone who knows the value of words and how important it is that we are able to discuss matters openly understands very, very well the problems with the new woke culture.

Brilliant - I remember him changing his mind last time and how disappointing that was. But he's written about abusive men before now. He can hopefully spot what's going on.

[SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito]

That he's pinned it gives me hope. I admit my first thought was "how long till he retracts Thais one?" Hopefully this one stays

[SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito]

Fucking hell fat thumbs. This one! And the missing full stop.

Lesson learned - don't Mumsnet while breastfeeding a wiggly toddler.

[Deliriumoftheendless]

They will ignore and write him off. I think he’s already had a ticking off for his lack of diversity (and being rich, old, white) or for not supporting diversity or something.

[Newwayofthinking]

I ha e started following people who are in support of JKR. Not many celebs yet, any more worthy of a follow?

[Fallingirl]

Someone’s gotta say it: we now have the King and Queen of literature.

[PumbaasCucumbas]

It’s an old article but clearly Hilary mantel is a booker prize winner and feminist (and not one to mince her words) it would be nice to know her views on all this now.

[ScrimpshawTheSecond]

Hm, I don't know, Delirium. He is enormously respected among writers.

[maudavery]

Amazing

[Al1Langdownthecleghole]

Yay! Another one for the good list.

[SulisMinerva]

I hope he sticks by her. He’s one of my favourite writers too - read so many of his books as a teenager and in my twenties when I was fascinated by the horror/genre. Over the last couple of years, I’ve started re-reading them and discovering newer ones.

[irishfeminist]

What did Marlon James say?

[Deliriumoftheendless]

@ScrimpshawTheSecond

Hm, I don't know, Delirium. He is enormously respected among writers.

Yes, it’ll be the non entities and the bottom feeders and those who go with the crowd that moan, but he’ll get nowt like what JK Rowling got.

[Pertella]

Hes always been a good guy imo

[Apileofballyhoo]

Hopefully Philip Pullman is feeling stupid.

[HumphreyCobblers]

He wrote Rose Madder. He gets the realities of domestic violence.

[Anoualler]

JK and King. The tanks are parked on the lawn.

[LockdownLump]
