Long twitter thread here. She's had her electronic devices seized too, and has been accused of being certain posters on Kiwi Farms and Mumsnet

@BernardBlacksWineIceLolly and @BreakWindandFire sorry to tag you but she's been accused of being you!

We all know who this will be, but as Caroline says, please don't speculate/discuss them.

I know this is ridiculous because I can't actually do this as I'm sure most of us can't, but it sort of makes me feel a little rebellious like maybe there should be a suffragette style movement where something totally innocuous gets a large group of women arrested at the same time.

This is a terrible idea and I am certainly not inciting anyone to do anything unlawful or likely to cause them to be arrested even on spurious claims. I'm just feeling a bit... I don't even know what the word is, overtired and silly probably.

I've shared this on another thread, but an incident where an elderly man was mugged, left semi conscious and bleeding on the pavement, picked up and cared for by neighbours. Who were furious that three days later no police could be spared to come round.

Woman being rude to a male though? Three cops following months of careful research.

What did all that cost?
What calls went unanswered that day so those man hours could be spent on this?
How many reports have been made that did not end in this action and what man hours/costs have been spent investigating all this?

MargaritaPie · 05/10/2022 12:09

So does anyone actually know the details of what she was arrested for?

In July I reported an adult male who asked for and recieved nude photos of a 13 year old girl. The police haven't got round to questioning him or looking at his tech yet. Maybe if I'd said he'd said hurty words on the internet they'd have treated him like they treated Caroline Farrow?

DrBlackbird · 05/10/2022 12:24

This is all so depressing and absolutely frightening. My wonderful DC is very much TWAW out of kindness and support for teen transgender friends. This concerning but also understandable when even my adult and intelligent colleagues hold the same views. The deeply concerning safeguarding and what seems to feel is explicit misogyny happening in wider circles as illustrated by this case is lost on them. Feels as though the tactic of shutting debate (vis Observer’s article on the latest Labour conference) has worked and is causing great harm.

jesus fucking christ

this is absolutely indefensible

Sonnex · 05/10/2022 12:29

This is ludicrous. Why aren't they going after pornhub? That's where the truly gross and indecent images are. Oh wait, it's a UK law, and pornhub isn't hosted in the UK. Just like kiwifarms isnt and wasn't in June (and doesn't even exist anymore of course).

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 05/10/2022 12:31

kiwi farms is very much back, calling each other gay as a term of abuse and being generally objectionable

and I consider that to be a good thing

So I don’t know if I can link to it but according to [the usual suspect] three different forces have been investigating the same image posted on Kiwi Farms for months? At his instigation obviously. I think it’s the same image that they interrogated Caroline about but it’s all terribly murky.

After learning this I read the comment about the cops not sending out someone for a burglary in progress with kids in the house and I honestly can’t process it all. I think I’m a hairs’ breadth from throwing a tantrum. How is this being allowed to happen?

If it’s the image I’ve seen it’s pretty gross. I don’t know if it would cross the line into “hate speech”, it’s certainly a very offensive analogy on many levels.

But three forces investigating it for months??? Excuse me? How in the name of Cthulhu can anyone justify that use of resources when weighed against the things that don’t get investigated?

MargaritaPie · 05/10/2022 12:39

She was on kiwifarms? That isn't going to do well for her in court.

BorgQueen · 05/10/2022 12:42

She won’t go to court 🙄
I really hope the other party ends up there one day though.

I note you haven’t returned to the Mermaids thread where you spouted “innocent until proven guilty”. Are you going to offer an opinion on the latest developments there? Are you offering Caroline Farrow the same respect in terms of presumption of innocence that you offered an organisation that had a paedophile apologist as a Trustee?

MargaritaPie · 05/10/2022 12:39

yes.

Caroline joined the farms using her own name and had it verified (blue tick) by the site owner.

BECAUSE ANON PEOPLE WERE IMPERSONATING HERE!

so Caroline, using her own verified name, is very different to almost every KF user (I can think of two other GC women who have done similarly) and thus, even if the politics/judge/whatever do erroneously believe KF to be a hate site (rather than a gossip site) Caroline is sufficiently notlikeotherkiwis for it not to be an issue.

The same harassers who target Caroline also use Twitter and various other sites to do so.

C’mon, Marge, keep up! You are about 3 weeks behind the curve on internet-land.

yes. You really are doing the 'guilty until proven innocent' thing you do with women you disagree with.

We know you are like this.

"claiming".

That little word makes all the difference, doesn't it? It's not like TRAs have form for being truthful.

BenCoopersSupportWren · 05/10/2022 12:50

Can we just ignore the chess-playing pigeon? We know their MO by now.

YouSirNeighMmmm · 05/10/2022 12:50

I'd love to see someone try to post views different to me in good faith to have my opinions challenged - but there is literally no-one anywhere near this board doing such a thing,

WahineToa · 05/10/2022 12:51

Interesting that somehow having an account on kiwi farms means you’ll look bad in court. Twitter allow pedophiles to discuss their ‘attractions’. I think that’s disgusting and all of their T & C’s I’ve read about ‘minor attracted persons’ makes me think holding a twitter account should make someone look bad anywhere.

Do you ever bother reading the threads you comment on?

You always drop by to plop information like this as if it's news to us. We've been discussing this for the last 22 bloody pages!

🤦

True. Waiting to read the post on the Mermaids post.

IcakethereforeIam · 05/10/2022 12:54

Sorry if this is contributing to a derail, but I just want to double check something.

Is it against the law to be a member of and/or to post on Kiwi Farms? If it isn't, so fucking what if CP is on there.

MargaritaPie · 05/10/2022 12:54

"That little word makes all the difference, doesn't it? It's not like TRAs have form for being truthful."

Very generalising there to imply transpeople are liars.

And all we have atm to go on is claims by CF herself, who may or may not be telling the truth and telling everything.

Thelnebriati · 05/10/2022 12:56

How many cases has the presumed litigant brought so far?
How many have they won?

Very generalising there, to assume TRAs are all transpeople.
