The fallout from this tweet last night was a sight to behold.

Was it the real Buffypaws though, or someone else who had got hold of her log in details? 🤔

Very good point, Countess.

I wonder when she began to feel alarm about the direction of travel that transactivism was taking? To me, The Silkworm, which we were discussing earlier, reads as if she didn't have concerns at that point.

Someone accused me of being a sock puppet on Twitter when I was GC’ing a few weeks ago. I was really excited to find out my real identity but they wouldn’t tell me Sad

I remember a few of us on here speculating about her views when she got "called out" for liking a GC tweet. It got explained away by her publicist as a 'middle-aged moment' and that she accidentally liked instead of saved the tweet. That was a good few years ago now. I feel like it must have been a slow build up as she researched and found out more, because she certainly had all her ducks in a row when she opened the gates of hell with the woman tweet.

I reckon during Career of Evil, with the transabled plot line.

I'm always intrigued when they accuse GC tweeters of not being "real people".

It sounds like they mean that GC accounts are operated by robots. I think they mean that GC accounts aren't tweeting under their real names. This is often true, because of the climate of fear there has been. But it doesn't mean there isn't actually a person typing, who is even entitled to vote in real life!

Has anyone ever considered that maybe we're all JK Rowling's sock puppets????

Wild. Trippy. ConfusedGinGlitterball

picklemewalnuts · 14/09/2022 19:13

That would work so well. Bet she'd handle my mother with Grace and elegance!

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 14/09/2022 19:13

I think I'm real... But then maybe a sock puppet thinks it's real??

I do hope so🤞

For one thing, that would make me very rich.

TheMarzipanDildo · 14/09/2022 20:49

Although actually I might have been recently defending Graham Linehan when I got the sock puppet allegation. I’m rather partial to the idea that I could have written The IT Crowd or Father Ted.

It’s really such a shite insult 😂

TheKeatingFive · 14/09/2022 20:56

There's nothing more arrogant in the world than a refusal to believe more than one person disagrees with you. 😂

WandaWomblesaurus · 16/09/2022 16:58

It's a bit like Spartacus isn't it.
I'm JK Rowling.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 16/09/2022 17:01

Nice to see you Jo.
Great book.

Reflectiononglass · 16/09/2022 17:06

Why, thank you!

Mind. Blown. It's like the Matrix! I thought it was just me!

You, @RedToothBrush, are Joanne Rowling, & I claim my five galleons!
<strikes suitably dramatic attitude>
(Not a ballet attitude, obviously. That would just be silly 🤷‍♀️)

Haha. Just seen this.
I caught the spartacus comments on this thread and was about to say 'I'm jkr'

But I'm not.

I'm far too tactless.

WandaWomblesaurus · 17/09/2022 07:48

I'm far too not a brilliant writer to be JKR. Also her hair is better than mine.

Buffypaws · 17/09/2022 22:03

Are people thinking I’m JKR? Or Robin?

TheBiologyStupid · 17/09/2022 22:27

JKR channelling Robin (or possibly channelling Midge's ex-GF - we're confused!)

picklemewalnuts · 18/09/2022 07:25

I really am JKR. Obviously I have to mask my brilliance on here. You know, obviously.

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 18/09/2022 16:30

Just to be different - I'm not JKR, but I've just finished The Ink Black Heart and it was bloody marvellous, so thanks for that Jo/ Robert!
