Fake MN Feminist Account on Twitter

[FromAMNtter]

Please could people report this account if they are on Twitter.

@MNHQ I've DM'd you on Twitter as well but they have turned the MN logo into a version of the Nazi flag.

I thought that this is the Twitter you wanted? Like you have all those far right people back, rampant misogyny, racism, LGBTQ hate. Surely you're happy that this account is taking hold of their can of free peaches and consuming them all?

You are so eager to score points that you type a post like that without exercising even a modicum of thought about the implications. You obviously haven't had a look the content either. Why you are referencing the far right is utterly beyond me. Implying MN feminists are Nazis doesn't make it true - it just shows that the person calling names really doesn't want women to have rights.

MN is a brand just like Coca Cola or Sainsburys - you can't just appropriate a company's brand and hold yourself out as representing its views. I couldn't set up a Twitter account claiming to be the Coca Cola Cats Protection Faction and then start tweeting that all dogs should be locked up. Coke might have a bit of an issue with views being attributed to them.

It's a deliberate attempt to damage the MN brand and MN have the right to do something about it.

Why is stating sex is immutable and in certain areas sex should not be replaced with the concept of gender identity mean that you support nazism? Kindly fuck off with that.
Btw i'd warrant that parody was done by trans rights nutters not nazis (although it is increasingly hard to tell them apart).

Oh dear. 😂

Never mind, term starts again soon.

The content looks TRA based on their tweets

They're not pretending to be MN though, so not exactly sure what you want by tagging MNHQs in?
There's loads of accounts like this on Twitter, whether "GC" or whatever.
Or like a previous poster said - is it a case of "free speech - but hang on, no not like that, not for you!!??"

The greatest misogyny comes from men thinking they get to dictate what a woman so they can pretend to be one.

The LGB hate comes from gender identity ideology extremists that dismiss same sex attraction in order to pander to men's feelings or fetishes.

I had a brief look. They are attacking Glinner and Elaine Miller. I did report it, for all the good that normally does. (Also started a thread about this in Site Stuff. MN itself may have more clout than the rest of us, given it's their logo that's been nazified.)

Don't be any more disingenuous than you have to be.

Silly sausage.

They are using the MN logo so they and the name mumsnetfeminists so that would be seen as pretending to be MN. They are implying that they have a link to MN and/or an official sub account for MN. I strongly suspect they have neither. They may damage the MN brand

Thanks OP. Have reported on Twitter and also here.
Also reported the persistent troll on this thread.

I see the appointed spokesperson got my comment deleted: pronoun really doesn’t want to answer the single sex spaces question obviously.

Talking of fake........

What on earth makes you think that OP is in favour of Twitter allowing 'far right' people?

You really need to provide some evidence for such a strident assertion.

Ah! We see...

I expect that if they wished, they could claim trademark infringement. Twitter should delete the account.

I for one am not particularly in favour of having the far right on Twitter. Or people who send death threats etc.

Why do you think OP is?

It's a deliberate attempt to damage the MN brand and MN have the right to do something about it.

Another self-own. There will articles. It will pique interest and drive traffic here, where a few more may stick around to see what all the fuss is about.

OP there is no such MN account as "MNHQ". Tagging that does nothing. If you want to contact them, email them or report your own post with an appropriate message.

"OMG Mooom! You don't respect me and my ridiculous, childish demands! You're LITERALLY such a Nazi!"

• The wounded cry of the woman face Oedipuses.

I'm in two minds about taking that shite down. Leave it up and anyone with two neurones to rub together would Google to find out what we actually say and instantly peak.
Then again it is a fraud, a con, an impersonation at its finest so it should be brought down.

Impersonation of a brand isn't "free speech". Plus it's against twitter rules.

I think it's up to Mumsnet themselves really.

Tiredness has merged "silly sausage" and "persistent troll" into Persistent Sausage Roll.
