Retailer called MeUndies announces new range of Harry Potter themed pyjamas. Attracts predictable responses. Also, notably, huge kickback against the first few woke replies.

This person has utterly lost the plot. No attempt to engage with any replies, of course. I'd have said alleging JKR is advocating violence against trans people was libellous.

Brands continue to disappoint, but @MeUndies takes the cake this week. For a purported LGBTQI friendly brand their Harry Potter partnership upset me. I wrote them and asked them not to support anything that helps a TERF profit, and they said no. Don't buy their stuff. Ever.

Seriously, multiple super-defensive and dismissive emails that they've done enough for the LGBTQI folx out there. You can't hurt people with a campaign like this and not care, say you've done enough in the past, @medundies. Your greed is showing.

Seriously, this wanton disregard for the safety of LGBTQI folx makes me hope that @MeUndies takes a serious hit to their bottom line. Soft underwear is everywhere, people. Buy the stuff that doesn't support campaigns and voices that advocate violence against trans folx.

FOLCKX

I find it a bit expensive but it looks really nice. Maybe early next year.

Some of the responses are completely unglued. I wonder if those people ever had any (real) opposition from their parents when growing up or whether they heard "Of course my dear, you are one 100% correct" on every issue?
They remind me of my four year old niece when she has a tantrum. But at least she will see reason after a time out.

Some people on there are actually pointing out what JKR said and are being called a terf for it

one person asked what was going on? and was duly informed to not expect "the community" to explain it to them to your own research 🙄

They do themselves no favours

Blimey, the comments below the last tweet.

Not going well at all. I feel sorry for her. I'm sure she's just trying to do what she believes in.

Interesting isn’t it.

There it is in black and white. The killer JKR phrase is, Humans Cant Change Sex.

And jo public is reading that and thinking WTF? THATS WHAT GOT YOU SO RILED.?

Great thread, thanks Gasp0de! Just what I needed: I'm trying to write a readable summary of something long and complicated, while the last rays of afternoon light dwindle away, and I feel as though I've been at my desk since yesterday.

I don’t feel sorry for her, she used the word ‘folx’ twice in one tweet.

Gleaned from twitter:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Smalls
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Victorias Secrets
Harry Potter and the Gusset of Fire
Harry Potter and The Order of the Penix

Fill in the missing books!

Words and pajamas are literal violence.

Male bodies in female sports is totes safe.

Guns don't kill people, knickers do, is perhaps my favourite tweet ever

It has made RatioWatch. Twice.

As did Matt Chorley. twitter.com/WatchRatio/status/1322212065969426432?s=09

Sometimes Twitter is good.

Second set of Twitter tantrums over JKR I've seen this week, after the one directed at the London museum that is putting on a Harry Potter themed exhibit. She's not getting cancelled, get over it.

We had a thread the other day about how The Shambles in York is managing to sustain multiple Harry Potter shops. I think the TRAs should go and picket there. It would be great.

I dont know who Matt Chorley is, but I already don't like him. TWAT.

Women can have folxx and men get to be folxy?

Death by Knickers: great title for a book!

I need to check the website

Ds1’s boyfriend loves a bit of Harry Potter, I’ll see if they come in his size

I am going to go on Dragons’ Den with my range of Harry Potter branded grips, for all these poor ‘folx’!

Who’ll invest?

Someone has discovered the safety person is important at Medium, that site that keeps banning gender critical people from posting their essays on it.

I’m in Twitter jail over this.

What did you do?!

makes me hope that @MeUndies takes a serious hit to their bottom line
Hahaha she said ‘bottom’. To an underwear company. And that’s about as serious as I can take her.

@PotholeParadies took the piss. Suggested PJs kill people in mildly amusing rhyme.
