Private Eye has a dig at JK Rowling over Salman Rushdie attack

[Euforia]

Do they they not know that she had a death threat made against her? I suppose they think only threats against male authors are important.

Picture is from the latest issue.

correct, they clarify that at greater length on page 31

Yes I did, it's right there in what you quoted

JKR can do whatever she chooses

It's nothing to do with me 🤷‍♀️

No

jkr can do whtever she likes is a cop out when you’ve said that JKR knows that she only has to like a tweet and the right wing media will jump on it and make it about trans rights

No it's not, who are you or I to tell someone else how to behave?

We all know how it goes by now:

1. JKR tweets/retweets/likes something

1. Daily Mail print story about that tweet

1. The Times expand on the story

1. Julie Hartley-Brewer has someone such as Maya Forstater on Talk TV to talk about the story

1. Graham Linehan goes on GB News to tell everyone how TRAs stole his family again

1. JKR tweets/retweets/likes something

1. JKR gets more rape and/or death threats

1. The DM may pick this up.

4 JKR gets snide insinuations made about her.

errol

i think point 4 is the issue here

This ☝️

Quite so, Rufus.

The Daily Fail did no such thing

TRAs have such hair triggers, that any mention of JKR provokes another attack on her, regardless of what she makes a statement about.

Support Ukraine? - Transphobe!

Encourage England Ladies Football - Transphobe!

Support Salman Rushdie and free speech - OMG! How dare you bring your transphobia into this!

Any statement by JKR, regardless of how innocuous, will create a reaction from the usual suspects.

Possibly "Goodwin's law" after the case that led to the GRA? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwin_v_United_Kingdom
