it's extremely funny that glinner terfed himself out of twitter, his marriage, pretty much all of his friendships and professional associations, just any sort of connection with any other human beings whatsoever

entirely unforced, too. even if he hated trans women exactly as much as he does right now but just had the self control to shut the gently caress up about it he'd still be a rich, successful entertainment media figure adored by his fans, with lots of friends, and (probably, I don't know the guy) a stable marriage but oi m8 th absolute state of blokes wot sayin they is birds!!!!! it joist aint peas n carrots!!!!!!

anyway England should sink into the sea. disgusting little island.

Another thing that was funny about glinner was he had gotten a lot of love from the left for making GBS threads all over count dankular and his lovely nazi videos

It was quite the whiplash

Most Rowling fans I know are very critical of her but don't want to just throw their prized HP novels in the bin.

In person I usually try to be nice about it; but I'm going to lose a lot of respect for someone if they're so attached to a young adult novel written by a woman of mediocre ideas that they refuse to stop buying HP merchandise or promoting her brand by talking about HP.

I guess that Rowling is proof that you can’t be cancelled if you just keep posting through it. Also lol that she and Matt Walsh have turned on each-other after one day.

I don’t get why she wants to make being a TERF a core part of her identity. Like I definitely have very racist, very conservative family members who nevertheless have other interests.

Terfs have been invaluable allies to the right wing of both the US and the UK in actively and noticeably curtailing our rights.


I'm still pretty mad about them, moreso than other trans people who I disagree with on the specifics of trans rights.

Instead of being mad at TERFs I decided to be mad at trans people instead. This makes sense, to me.

Yes but this is pretty quaint compared to people who want to ban transitioning. Like it baffles me that you'd say you're not that mad about terfs. Is a 16 year old on reddit or twitter telling you you're invalid really your biggest problem compared to people who want to make transition illegal.

There was the trans doctor who was putting herself out as an expert on how trans people have gone too far and she should know, as a trans doctor that does deserve an extra layer of hate. But that's something of a (hopefully) unique case of shitheadedness.

I understand that if you give your ideological opponents an inch they'll take a mile, however when you're in a situation that allows for some breathing room you might want to give the fence sitters some space or else it's guaranteed that they'll go over to the enemy.

he got rid of several good writers and then literally went back and deleted all the genuinely quite funny ones he didn't write. there were a bunch that were more radical and from a trans perspective for example. shame really.
