JKR takes on the victim blamers over the pornography tweeted at children

[OvaHere]

I'm glad she's said this. It's despicable that TRA's subjected children to this in the first instance but even more so that they double down to blame the woman they targeted.

She's so great. "I'll give you a moment to think hard about leaving that up..." God I hope she's getting litigious.

I agree completely

I ❤️ JK Rowling

[lionheart]

I think of cartoons where the character charges off a cliff but is suspended there for a moment before reality (and gravity) does its thing.

Unfortunately, for too many TWAW there is no clawing your way back.

Agreeing with JKR just cements the feeling I'm on the right track.

@RaindropsOnRosie

She should have her devices taken off her so she doesn't keep posting on Twitter.

That's your answer to men posting porn on her timeline?

That the woman it was aimed at should have her devices taken away?

Interesting take there.

Oh please. Who's going to take JK's anything from her? All that stuff she created out of her own brilliant mind can never be taken away from her or from us. It only becomes more powerful, more popular, and more obviously true with every year that passes.

Bet you fucking hate that, don't you.

Isn’t it just! I can think of several people who could definitely do with stepping back from Twitter for a while…JKR isn’t one of them.

Yeah and those pesky women should stop wearing short skirts, being out after dark, walking alone, making him angry .....

Women get what they deserve.

Well, it would stop people posting porn on her threads for children.

I feel you may have come up with the wrong solution though.

I know who should have their device removed

And its not JK

[RufustheBadgeringReindeer]

Actually i have a list

Unfortunately im on my list 🤔

[yourhairiswinterfire]

So in a short space of time we've had people defending creeps getting their dicks out in front of little girls in the female only section of a spa.

The answer to Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey is to 'desensitise' kids to penis.

And if creeps post porn at children on a very famous woman's timeline whilst she's praising their artwork, it's her that should be punished?

Fucking hell. Quite a sinister theme emerging here...

[Novelusername]

I feel bad such an intelligent, sensitive, caring and thoughtful woman has to deal with such infuriating idiots, idiots who will doubtless never do for others a fraction of what she has. There's something gone very wrong somewhere when this is happening. What a bunch of narcissistic, ungrateful muppets.

[Gumbomambo]

Do you remember being a kid and playing top trumps and when you got the best card you knew you would always win? I remember the dinosaur pack and JKR is the T. rex…

Go and have 10 minutes in the paddling pool, you'll feel loads better x

Bless. Far better solution for TRAs to moderate their behaviour really. Both on and offline. Doncha think?

All variations on the old faithful of: Women be quiet and the Rules of Misogyny - so there's some cold comfort in them being recognisable themes in that way.

Accompanied by In Adichie’s TED talk on feminism in 2012, now viewed almost five million times, she talks about feminist anger, righteous anger, but one to which hope has never been entirely surrendered. “I cannot afford despair,” she explains. “We live behind a self-made iron curtain, of rules and silence and silencing. When I came to the US to go to university I heard people constantly going on about free speech, but it is also only in America that I learnt about the things you are not supposed to say — and I grew up in a military dictatorship. But here I am acutely aware of things you are not allowed to say, or even think, or question — the end of curiosity. I believe in celebrating a kind of ignorance, for only then can we learn. When I talk to young people I start off by trying to make them comfortable to ask the questions that make them uncomfortable.”
Are you optimistic, I ask as our time comes to an end. “I am a pessimistic optimist,” she says. “Because I still want to believe everything will be OK, even if I know it won’t be.”

[allmywhat]

so apparently "guncle" means "gay uncle."

We've got a dude highlighting his relationships with children in his Twitter username while using his Twitter account to excuse the people who tweeted porn at children.


Ew.

Floral that made me lol.

@NotBadConsidering

From now on I expect all TRA Monitors who lurk and report posts here on FWR to post to tell us all they have done so. That way there can be no confusion about their intentions, because clearly reporting in silence behind the scenes is no longer acceptable. Fair deal?

Ooh I like this. Good point well made

'She's such a meanie'

[Teaandjam]

I’m confused. I though she did say that last year when she was arguing on Twitter? Or was it a fake tweet? I don’t use social media so I miss all this drama.
