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.

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.

She reported all the disgusting porn that was tweeted into the kids' pictures thread, but she didn't respond to the people who sent it. She said she ignored it, meaning she didn't respond to it or retweet it (because that would have made things worse, obvs), and she clarified at the same time that it had all been reported. Hope that helps.

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

Haha. Seriously? Just when I think I've read the most bone-headed ignorant posts possible, another one appears.

[langclegflavoredbananamush]

OMG JKR ignored death! No wonder she's not afraid of TRAs...

[Teaandjam]

I’m glad I don’t use Twitter. It sounds grim. Why would you run a promotion aimed at kids on a site that has porn on it. The whole thing is disgusting.

I'm sorry, we shouldn't use Twitter because some people can't act like decent members of society and instead tweet porn? Someone could come here and post porn, would we then have to stop all discussions about children?

[yourhairiswinterfire]

Here we go blaming a woman for the actions of predatory men again 🙄

It'll be the fault of the kids for looking next...

PumpkinSpiceWoman clearly hasn't learned anything from last weeks attempts to smear and victim blame Keira Bell.

I think it's clear PumpkinSpiceWoman has precisely zero critical faculties.

Because that's not the majority. If you rule out that, better avoid Facebook or Instagram as things fall through there that you wouldn't want children to see.

Better give Pride and public libraries a swerve too!

The problem is twitter turning a blind eye to porn and unsolicited dick pics, not JKR involving children in her writing.

Women should be able to use social media without that kind of shit.

@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...

Thank goodness for JKR.

Quietly magnificent.

And with way more courage and conviction in challenging those who wish to negate the rights of women and children than some.

And by some I mean wee nippy who seems to produce the most deafening silence I have heard with regards to this.

[FloralBunting]

I first saw a porn mag flapping about discarded on a pathway.
My own fault for walking outside the house, I'm sure.

[EmbarrassingAdmissions]

And TikTok.

True. And bookshops. (Weren't people complaining about a JKR or similar author's book being promoted at Waterstones a while ago?)

[Ifyourefeelingsinister]

I hope she is considering suing them - rather a defamatory tweet

Taken off her by who? The Thought Police?

[ScreamingMeMe]

Way to infantilise a grown woman btw, RaindropsOnRosie. That's some stellar feminism!

Absolutely Pathetic 🤣

To be fair to you it's probably the only sort of punishment you've been on the receiving end of. Your poor mum....

[Maerchentante]

A lot of the TRAs on Twitter remind me of little children saying "Mummy, such and such called me xxx" but never get the "and what did you do?" response.

Don't like seeing what she has to say? Too bad, we all do 😂😂

That is why I loved JKR's tweet: "I'll give you a moment to think hard about..." Exactly how one talks to a child. Bloody brilliant.

@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.

Me too. Having to deal with the sheer volume of knobheads, must be mind crushingly tedious and depressing.

The Internet has a lot to answer for. Bringing all these inadequate twats together to encourage each other in their unoriginal misogyny.

I really don’t want to be rude (but I’m sooooooooooooo tempted)

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt…..do you honestly stand by what you just wrote or are you on a wind up?

[Novelusername]

I think a lot of these people are children, or at least very young. In kids, I think it's forgivable, they just don't understand the full extent of what's going on and want to fit in with whatever's fashionable. Their brains haven't fully developed until their mid-twenties (no offence to all the wonderful young people who aren't like this, but it's a fact). The older ones have only misogyny and narcissism to blame.
