I laughed out loud at this. The replies are excellent as well.

Yes, Katy is a parody. #chairaid

I went to the Farms (Rowling Derangement Syndrome - "TERF/Woke Author Bad!!1" pg 416) to see if they had picked up on the marshmallow tweet/Xeet. I stole found these screenshots of some TRA replies.

One of them said he'd pirated her books, so presumably, he burned his Kindle?

They/them are not the sharpest tools in the box.

@MissScarletInTheBallroom , @dementedpixie - thank you for the screenshots! 💐
I 💙JKR!

Pirated books? How would that work? Did they actually go to the bother of printing out unlicensed copies from dodgy websites? If they did the whole 7 books that’s a shit-tonne of paper and ink, it would have cost them more than just buying the set second hand.

Of course it’s more likely that this individual was attempting a “sick burn”. Bless.

MarieDeGournay · 25/09/2024 17:13

Brill!
I vaguely remember a reply she made once to a similar tweet about burning her books, something like:
'Every time one of my books is burnt, the royalties disappear from my bank account'Grin

This one?

That's the one, thank you WhereYouLeftIt, was it really four years ago?!

  • *I had forgotten about the tooth-loss if the book was signed. Genius.

Did anyone else spot this gem in the DameKaty thread - a certain Guardian journalist who is Mr Unpopular with this thread is referred to as 'an aging twink'😂😂😂

Why do these idiots keep turning up to a battle of wits with JKR completely unarmed?

EarthSight · 26/09/2024 22:20

I love it when JKR has time for Twix. She’s on fire today.

Is that a man claiming he's going through menopause?

It's a parody account

For those who don't have twitter, so can't see Dame Katy Denise's profile picture clearly enough, it's Jack Duckworth from Coronation Street in drag - it's a spoof account that JK likes to play along with sometimes (some TRAs claim it's actually her but I have no knowledge of that either way).

Thank you so much! I couldn’t place who the picture was of and kept thinking it was the Fox Killer.

LizzieSiddal · 26/09/2024 23:38

Jk and Dr etc Katy are comedy gold.

HaddyAbrams · 26/09/2024 23:46

Brilliant. Love her!

I enjoyed this exchange.

XChrome · 27/09/2024 01:38

I hope they took the book jackets off, but I doubt it. This numbnuts obviously wouldn't know that the plastics now commonly used in book jackets make toxic smoke, causing respiratory distress, headaches, and even nervous system and organ damage with sufficient exposure. Great parenting exposing your kids to that, dumbass.
Then s/he had the kids eating marshmallows coated with that poison? 😱
TRA hyperbole has it that words can kill. They can't, but stupidity can.

Darwin Award candidates, all of 'em, or would be if they hadn't reproduced.

Of all the things that didn't happen today yesterday, that didn't happen the most.
Anyone that's tried burning a book or a lot of bound paper knows it is a complete pain in the arse, makes more ash than heat, keeps putting itself out, just overall would be the worst fire type for your roasting needs. And there's the toxic crap too.
Sure burn a book, I did my maths jotter one time, but I wasn't thick enough to try and cook a snack on it.

Women are constantly berated not just for doing something because it's right, but for doing something that's right in 'the wrong way'. Why? Because people know it's the right thing to do and criticising doing it 'the wrong way' is the only argument they have left.

I generally agree with what you wrote, but I'm slightly lost as to the tangent from my post to yours?

I'm a notorious tangenteer myself, so this is in no way a dig at you.

I'm not trying to say the twitterer was Doing Fire Wrong, I'm saying the HP Book Fire Marshmallow Roast is a thing that totally didn't happen.

I loved this:

In the UK the number of rats identifying as Queer has increased by 765% since 2014. This is Renata who presents authentically as a womxn. [Picture of a rat in a tiny tutu] If you have rats in your home & you put down traps or poison the chances are you’re literally going to a murder a member of the LGBTQ community. Instead, welcome the rat by leaving food & a photo of India Willoughby; make your home an accepting & safe place for Trans rats!

That whole Chair Aid thread is hilarious. But the photos. What do these men see when they look at them? The mental Snapchat filter must be taking up most of their cognitive capacity.

What the eyes see is processed in the brain, and when the brain is totally delusional...

NitroNine · 28/09/2024 03:52

I think the pirate dog was probably talking about the films. And/or utter nonsense. Not sure they’d have the intellectual capacity for the books, in any case.

Must go & see if the threat!post is still up, am enjoying a good run of getting Buckeejit TRAs dinged/suspended/booted despite the woefully inept moderation…

ApocalipstickNow · 28/09/2024 06:55

I think pirating books involves shoplifting whilst dressed like Jack Sparrow.

Sort of undercover operation? Like it ...

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 28/09/2024 07:26

I have to laugh at the idea of someone telling an author they hate that they have pirated their creations because they hate them so much.

Dude, she's a billionaire. (Or she would be if she hadn't given so much of her fortune away.)

She doesn't need your money but I'm sure she's flattered to know you enjoy her work so much you can't just take the "don't read it/watch it" option.
