I reckon Laura must cry herself to sleep regularly at sharing a surname with a JKR character.

RealityFan · 07/09/2023 19:25

She must feel like no amount of showers can remove the stench of...her love for a transphobic artist.

The 'campaign' (I won't dignify it with that word, without a very strong pair of inverted commas) against Roisin - which is predicated on some nasty pieces-of-work abusing her privacy - has about a D- for crediibility, when it comes to taking a moral high-ground. And yet these people still think they're superior to us ?

Slightly off-topic but I know soneone of that name and he hasn't heard you.

@Biffology I’ll shout it a bit louder!

Biffology · 07/09/2023 19:42

Anyway, back to the mater-at-hand :

Our friend RevUlsion is travelling to the tip-of-the-spear here - there may be 'an incident' , as the people we're talking about like to 'demonstrate' and disrupt meetings and events.

For example, you get feminists trying to have a meeting, or even just some gay women having a drink and checking each other out - speed-dating (how 00's !) - without anyone else there (i.e. men) you'll tend to get 'A Public Scene'.

So we need to keep an eye on how that pans out.

If nothing else, all this ridiculousness has introduced me to Roisin Murphy..I knew of her of course, but not her music. Been playing You Knew on Alexa all day!

Biffology · 07/09/2023 19:50

@LondonLass91

Correect me if I'm wrong but I strongly suspect there's people who've been quite happy to allow her to be understood as a 'LGBT.. only' artiste, just to scare everyone else away - rather like she's a delicious cake in a very ideological bakery, who else is going to dare step inside and buy one ?

Isn't Comerford the one who harangues Helen Staniland 24/7? The other one is a real sorry apology for a person. Yep, not likely to have any moral high ground when you're down in the weeds.

Sorry, that really came out the wrong way. I did mean that sarcastically, hopefully you all see that.

Thing is, Roisin's statement on the back of what was alleged about her makes it clear that she's not interested in being their property.

People of a certain generation seem able to understand that, whilst maintaining the idea that they have their Homobloc gig and what-have-you and it's their night. I've never been and I'll never go, either. Fair do's, it's theirs.

I've met guys at the show who were relieved that she still had a broad-based and integrated audience - whilst insisting on their personal reasons for being there. Everyone's got their personal reasons for being there, so far so good.

Certain individuals are now on my radar. Should've just DM'd her, lads.

WhereAreWeNow · 07/09/2023 20:10

No, I don't think that's it. Her Twitter account suggests she's a true believer.

StephanieSuperpowers · 07/09/2023 20:12

Bless her heart!

WhereAreWeNow · 07/09/2023 20:13

That was in reply to @IcakethereforeIam asking if maybe Snapes just threw that bit in to protect herself from TRAs.

Biffology · 07/09/2023 20:19

I get the impression that the people I'm thinking of do not want Roisin to have actual women there...

She's a mother, there's women there, in the audience, who have children of their own. NO ! They have to be marginalised in some way - Karens ? TERFs ? Find something that'll stick !

I can't help thinking this is where certain people began to get up her nose. It's like Stanley Baxter or Danny La Rue, saying their better at being women, somehow, than actual, physical, women ?

It's per-verse

Oh Laura, quit with the flagellation. How embarrassing that you can’t say you enjoyed the album without lamenting that it’s now “tainted”. Tainted because the artist privately expressed concerns about puberty blockers harming vulnerable children. For crying out loud - MURPHY IS NOT THE BADDIE HERE.

I’m sure, Laura, that all the other artists you admire in the music biz are shining, perfect examples of humanity who have never put a foot wrong in their lives. Sure, they might have had underage sex, or been violent, drunken, misogynistic assholes, but as long as they’ve never done a wrongthink, it’s all peachy.

I can't get over the moral turpitude of these people. How can any sane, decent person justify giving harmful puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children, if they have any idea what the consequences are?I It amazes me that she is both so lacking in any kind of moral capacity that, not only does she give her support to something unequivocally evil, she has the nerve to attack as immoral someone who is trying to protect children from harm.

I suppose what I can't grasp is why these people think they're right, when they're so obviously wrong. I feel like they ought to at least admit they're bad people, and that they just don't care about kids being harmed.

They were too young for the Stonewall Riots. Their political consciousness is channelled thru Greta, George Floyd, and the big one, trans liberation. Medicalised teens are friendly fire casualties, roadkill, "you gotta crack a few eggs to make an omlette", and lost women's rights are just Helens who refused to budge up to accommodate.

Well, yeah. But hurting children? Surely we can all agree that that's a bad thing?

It's just insane. Every time I see another tweet about it, either linked to this or another situation, especially teachers, I simply cannot comprehend how people believe this crap.

Wow, that Guardian review. Reminds me exactly why I will never give in to those endless begging requests for a Guardian subscription. Unbelievable.

Children not being allowed to ID as, and then change, to their preferred gender, is the real hurt, abuse, and bad thing...they would say.

The damage of a few de-transitioners pales in comparison.

Textbook Guardian - what should be the joyous review of a brilliant album has to have the great clunking fist of virtue signalling and medical misinformation on it. I'm surprised the reviewer didn't blame Murphy for climate change to boot.

Twitter seems to think Laura has form for dick pandering- she's signed a petition to house male prisoners to the women's estate.

My apologies to Guardian Laura if this is in fact some other misogynist of the same name.
