So another brand proves that they’re not keen on women having thoughts

I've been buying a 10 pack of their smoothies every week, sometimes on offer in Tesco at £5.99. I'll be stopping that now. Bowing down to spam bullies is shockingly nieave. I will be happily spending my money on different brands from now on.

@SeaRabbit

Well I phoned to complain and they put the phone down on me. So I called back and am still waiting for the promised email or call. Humph.
Seriously? God that's a feeble response. Easy to diss someone on Twatter, bit trickier to explain why in person, to a real actual person.

I am very much liking the cut of Margaret’s jib!

RevIMJolly · 30/01/2021 22:56

I hate to think how much I've spent on those little smoothie pouches. And we normally have their OJ.

Not any more. Happy to switch brands.

I do spend tons on Method products, but they support a foundation whose instagram opening page provides a guide to binding.
I need to have a think.

PotholeParadies · 30/01/2021 23:06

Helen from Mermaids is perturbed by our behaviour.

The awesome @innocent drinks is currently getting piled-on by obsessive anti-transgender cranks , all because they unfollowed a transphobic account.

And yes, of course the transphobes on the Mumsnet “feminism” forum are egging it on! 🙄

I wouldn’t worry that the transphobes on Mumsnet - aka Prosecco Stormfront - are claiming they’re no longer going to buy @Innocent smoothies (🙄) - They’ve tried that threat before...

Prosecco Stormfront

Weird post, but I think she's accidentally stumbled on the name for the next female lead in a James Bond film.ConfusedGrin

Whatsnewpussyhat · 30/01/2021 23:20

It's amazing how much they stalk MN isn't it? Considering they think we're just an insignificant bunch of middle aged non men.
I don't even like prosecco. Not a sexist stereotype at all.

PotholeParadies · 30/01/2021 23:22

Honestly, it seems a bit racially insensitive of her to me. I remember when Stormfront were prominent and a major subject of discussion. Nicknaming a parenting forum that way seems very off.

How jolly offensive. I'd take gin or sour beer over prosecco any day.

ErrolTheDragon · 30/01/2021 23:24

Just googled... I'd not actually heard of them that I can remember.

PotholeParadies · 30/01/2021 23:33

Fair enough, Errol, but she definitely has, in order to capitalise off the work anti-racism campaigners did against Stormfront. Might count as appropriation?

WhatsYourNameMan · 31/01/2021 08:13

Well I'd rather drink prosecco than innocent smoothies. Cheers everyone. Wine

To be fair, I think MN is a drop in the ocean compared to the threat of cheaper competitors and more transparent food packaging...
merrymouse · 31/01/2021 08:34

It’s not the feminist threads that are a threat, it’s the packed lunches threads.

risefromyourgrave · 31/01/2021 08:40

Prosecco gives me a shocking headache. Innocent can sod off, I love their green smoothie, drink it every day, but I guess in lockdown I have plenty of time to make my own instead of supporting an idiotic company.

TBF to Helen, IIRC she is banned from MN for being unable to stick to the talk guidelines so the only way she can reply to us is to take potshots on twitter.

Such a shame, because she clearly has lots she wishes to say to us.

Quite a few of our twitter monitors are PBP.

DickKerrLadies · 31/01/2021 08:51

And personally, I feel it could be argued that worrying that your child prefers toys associated with the opposite sex is a very middle class problem. Most of the rest of us spend our time worrying about other problems.

ProseccoStormfront2 · 31/01/2021 09:04

What stupid thing to call anyone.

TheFemaleMan · 31/01/2021 09:10

Just googled Stormfront Shock how is calling a group of women Prosecco Stormfront not regarded as hate speech? Angry

Well indeed, but let's be honest, we all know what Godwin's law is and what it says about those invoking it.

Prosecco Stormfront

Hahahahhahahahaha

Is our erstwhile friend assuming that all the warrior women of FWR are white? If so that's rather racist don't you think?

teawamutu · 31/01/2021 09:44

Shows what they know. I hate bloody prosecco, headache in a bottle.

Gin is the official drink of Mumsnet, always has been.

ProseccoStormfront2 · 31/01/2021 09:57

I hate bloody prosecco, headache in a bottle.

Very accurate description.

@ProseccoStormfront2 Love the name change Grin.

I like a nice glass of red wine myself.

It does make me laugh when TRA's tell everyone they shouldn't make assumptions then proceed to make assumptions about everyone else.

One rule for one and all thatWink

I googled Stormfront, this is off of wiki:

'Stormfront is a white nationalist, white supremacist, antisemitic, Holocaust denial, and Neo-Nazi Internet forum, and the Web's first major racial hate site. In addition to its promotion of Holocaust denial, Stormfront has increasingly become active in the propagation of Islamophobia'

Equating Mumsnet with white supremacy and Holocaust denial. That is a reprehensible & libellous accusation.
