New Zealand Newshub blurs out KJK's "Nazi" (allegedly) hand movement

[flyingbuttress43]

As will all these media reports of KJK comments are turned off. Wonder why. No I don't.

You couldn't make it up - except mainstream Aus and NZ media are.

Do you ever get fed up pretending you’re ever so persecuted?

You clearly don't know me, try reading my posts.

I know enough and thanks but no thanks.

Tbf there were a few posts about arms upthread.

Why am I never included in these calls? 😔

Because we've moved onto cat signal rather than bat signal.

you are so last week!!

@FOJN

If you make a particularly good point there will be a call to arms to fabricate a series of abusive posts so that Mumsnet moderators feel obliged to pull the thread so no-one can read the challenge to the FWR orthodoxy.

Lol confession through projection? That's from the TRA playbook.

It’s a textbook deployment of the Heckler’s veto.

[IcakethereforeIam]

Does that come before or after the Franklin manoeuvre, it's been a while since I've played?

[Tillytrotter67]

Honestly ladies, I have properly lolled at this thread. I love it when you get daft. Na night and thanks x

I've been watching a lot of Australian and NZ media and I can't find one mainstream channel that doesn't describe KJK as "anti trans" except Fox of course. You'd think they have never watched any of her speeches, videos etc. where her message is always "women's rights". That sentence was sarcasm by the way because it is obvious these media twerps do no research whatsoever.

I was very disappointed that the Australian the "anti trans" description in their article today, though at least they gave a brief summary of what KJK was campaigning for (female only women's spaces). Then they quoted yet another Green's senator calling Let Women Speak a "hate group". I've seen a lot of hate during KJK's tour of Australia, but not from her side!

Did you know that jokes stop being funny when they’re adopted unironically by groups who oppose human rights?

Don't you get sick of being wrong constantly, ye po faced whelk?

I've not heard that one. Is it by Billy Bragg? It sounds like something Billy Bragg would write. Can you dance to it?

Ah, that leopard cub is unbearably cute! Can I have one?

Second thoughts, it would grow up and eat the dog...

1. Thats from Wikipedia, not exactly a good place to get "proof"

2. Read the first line. This is mostly a UK website. Why would we know about US things?

You're scraping the barrel mate. I repeat what I said earlier, its time for your bed.

Spamming gifs in order to drown out opposing viewpoints or discussion falls is a type of behaviour that is colloquially known as the Heckler’s veto.

All of this is explained in the wikipedia article which you didn’t read.

[PorcelinaV]

Calling her a "radical transphobe" is even worse bias from the media than "anti trans".

[Pixiedust1234]

Why would I read something that anybody can edit at any time? Even the owner says its not trustworthy anymore.

[Karatequeen]

how Hilarious! A ton of made up bollocks just to make her look evil. It’s all part of a game to undermine the important message Posey carries.

[IcakethereforeIam]

Some people really flatter themselves. It has to be about them. Women can't do things just to have a laugh and be silly.

[Boiledbeetle]

Even Wikipedia says Wikipedia is not a reliable source.

It's not that people don't read it, just that its not the best site to use when you are trying to prove a point.

[Boiledbeetle]

And yes i just used Wikipedia to prove a point about Wikipedia

[landOFconfusion]

You have just posted a page which says that Wikipedia shouldn’t be considered a reliable source for the purpose of creating citations within other wikipedia pages. Which makes perfect sense since an encyclopaedia which cites itself is a textbook example of circular citation.

The more interesting thing is that you seem to think that I’m linking to Wikipedia articles to ‘prove’ things. The links are for the benefit of readers who may otherwise be unfamiliar with the terms that I am using.

It's not?

I too am outraged and aghast that women are not taking WomanFiddledWithZip-Gate seriously. People are trying to gravely explain the seriousness of all this bullshit, ladies, you at least owe them a straight face.

Anyway, back to the gifs.

[AlisonDonut]

It's the Mumsnet version of Chaos Theory. Not a butterfly flapping its wings creating weather patterns on the other side of the globe...a middle aged woman from Wiltshire fiddles with her zip and all sorts of Nazis out themselves after thinking they have been called to arms.

Indeed.

People have addressed the point. But, because the topic of the thread is so bloody stupid (woman makes totally ordinary gesture and is vilified based on an obscure interpretation of it based on a4chan hoax), it’s descended into gifs.

But apparently no one is addressing this brilliant point. We’re all meanies.
