Rowling shouldn’t face any kind of threat, and these threats should be looked into.

There, I’ve said it and it was easy because it’s obvious. And it’s already a lot more than she’s ever done about the harassment and threats people have faced because of her.
(And no, “Don’t buy your dumb wizard game that gives money to a TERF” isn’t a threat, it’s purchasing advice)

That imaginary harassment.

gee I wonder if rowling has ever said anything along these lines

If you could come inside my head and understand what I feel when I read about a trans woman dying at the hands of a violent man, you’d find solidarity and kinship. I have a visceral sense of the terror in which those trans women will have spent their last seconds on earth, because I too have known moments of blind fear when I realised that the only thing keeping me alive was the shaky self-restraint of my attacker.

I believe the majority of trans-identified people not only pose zero threat to others, but are vulnerable for all the reasons I’ve outlined. Trans people need and deserve protection. Like women, they’re most likely to be killed by sexual partners. Trans women who work in the sex industry, particularly trans women of colour, are at particular risk. Like every other domestic abuse and sexual assault survivor I know, I feel nothing but empathy and solidarity with trans women who’ve been abused by men.

So I want trans women to be safe.

The US government is a big sham, yes.

tanky has this opinion

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

If he's MAGA in the end they'll double down and gloat over everyone who objected; if he's not there will be zero self reflection and bringing this up in the future will probably lead to warnings/banning. Horeshoe theory up the ass.

Morality aside, this makes Era news threads virtually worthless as half the posts are just people responding to their mental fanfic and attacking anyone criticizing their headcanon.

Its not that surprising nobody reads past the headline, because as you say the supposed discourse is a moderator curated dumpster fire.

Further compounded by the kind of selective reporting you would expect from Racist Facebook Uncle only posting stories about Them being bad guys and Us being victims, and the heavy editorialising 'joke' thread titles which may or may not accurately reflect the actual content of the news story (incelchief and dr forester being the chief culprits of this), and the general blurring of reliability of sources so Twitter Activist holds the same reliability as Venerated Mainstream Media.

The cherry on the shit pie is when a moderator or admin jump in with their own pet bias or crackpot theories to lay down Officially Allowed Opinions to be expressed, literally killing any possibility of discussion.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/how-long-after-the-astroid-did-dinosaurs-fully-die-out-a-climate-change-question.619707/

So I know some dinosaurs survived and evolved. However the asteroid didn't vaporise every living creature, it caused rapid climate change, but how rapid and how long did the survivors last? Obviously for many they managed to survive enough to evolve over millions of years.

However I want to know, does anyone know how rapid the climate change from the asteroid was on the rest of the planet, and how long does anyone think that the dinosaurs who didn't modify their bodies for flight survived until things were too inhospitable for them?

It may provide a key perhaps to how long this climate based extinction event is going to take?

Will ours be slower or more rapid than the dinosaurs? AND is there a chance that a select few tribes of human may eventually adapt to the harsh environment or adapt to get away from the inhospitable climate like dinosaurs did regarding bird evolution (or even artificially modify their bodies!).

You can argue we don’t know yet exactly why this person made this attack and took their own life so pointlessly but come thee fuck on… it only took two days for mainstream right wing media to activate one of their radicalized agents to attack the fbi in Ohio. It’s not a huge leap to assume this is also one of the those militant right wing crazies

This topic has been very very telling, that no matter how much people preach to care about Mental Health Issues/people who may be on the verge of suicide. Alot of people out there still just don't give a damn.

Sorry, I know you mean well, but the fact that you're weaponizing mental health to grandstand at strangers on the Internet, when you literally don't know whether that's the case to begin with, while simultaneously blaming others for ragging on the man sight-unseen, is just a little bit digusting.

So we should only grant this concern about mental health to those with confirmed and accurate cases of mental health issues who we cannot find other justifications to attack their behavior over? Oof, yikes. Allies, ya'll.

[benjipwns]

Funny how when the mods royally fuck up, it's never their fault, actually. It is always the users fault that things went down the way it did. The mods, you know, the people who are suppose to make sure the TOS is followed, discussions happen smoothly, and things don't get out of hand, are completely blameless....always.

In fact, they are the victims of bullying and unreasonable users looking to "get them." The modding of ERA has affected their mental health, to the point that they need to take breaks! But all that isn't serious enough to actually get them to give up their modship apparently.

That just shows how good of people they are. Even though this ruins their lives they continue to do the work because it's important and truly matters.

Rowling still thinks she's a leftist. She's of that certain strain of blindered liberal that picked exactly one lane to drive in - in her case, she sincerely believes she's defending women - and cannot fathom any viewpoint other than her own, causing her to repeatedly lash out whenever her extremely limited views are questioned, and seek out people who believe, or claim to believe, the same thing she does so she can feel justified in not budging.

That's what makes people like her dangerous - they couch their rhetoric in the veneer of social progressivism while simultaneously pushing hard against any progress that isn't the one cause they champion, ironically acting as the progressive version of antimatter, damaging everything around them while claiming they're still doing good. And in Rowling's case, that means she linked herself inextricably with the GC, transphobic monster crowd and has been parroting their rhetoric for such a long time that it's just who she is now. No matter how progressive she pretends to be, no matter how feminist she claims to be, that cloak of transphobia hangs over her head.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/massive-rise-in-anti-lgbtq-hate-crime-reports-in-uk.619764/#post-91596195

I'm sure if you were to ask her right now, she would still claim she's in favor of gay people and in favor of race-bent casting in Harry Potter media. And then five minutes later she would retweet something from Helen Joyce or another prominent TERF who's given her a pat on the head for aligning with them.

Like I said, she still thinks she's "doing good" and still a progressive, she's just completely and utterly focused on trans exclusion. That's why she's dangerous. These kinds of "I'm progressive, except for you" folks can often wrap other well-meaning people up inside their personal gravity and convert them into toxic people alongside them, especially when they're as absurdly famous and rich as Rowling is. And especially when they are as prone to playing the "no, actually I'm the victim! feel sorry for me! don't worry about the people I hurt, I'm the one whose feelings are important!" card as Rowling is.

Nothing is more destructive than a villain who genuinely thinks they're doing good.

 

[Propagandhim]

ironically acting as the progressive version of antimatter

Apropos because sometimes progressivism feels like a blackhole.  Workers' rights, environmentalism, and medicare for all are abducted into the same lightless prison as identity grievance politics.   If you can't drag one of them out into space, you can't drag any of them out.

look I know this is already the point but...seriously, how can someone be so blind to see that for ex. calling people "vagina-havers" is demeaning toward women, who have always had to quietly deal with such dehumanizing names imposed on them by men, once again being told to shut up and stay quiet because others know better

replace "vagina-havers" with anything, like being forced to invite non-natal women into traditionally women-only spaces, where people who haven't literally lived their entire lives as women will naturally have a different set of experiences and won't be able to engage on the same level

they need support and deserve a chance to be happy like anyone else, but as part of treating them like anyone else you would expect them to be smart enough to be able to read the room and not invite undue hostility

it's a hard road, but it's the road you're stuck with, and recognize that everybody else also has a hard road for different reasons, some more than others

You’d think defining a person by their genitalia would be the most transphobic thing you could do but guess it’s fine for cisgender folx.  Imagine using “penis-haver” for a mtf trans person who decided for whatever reason not to get reassignment surgery.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Due to previous threads questionable use of numbers and statistics, I'd like to know if that increase can be explained by other factors - for example, a total increase in the base numbers of trans people, because those numbers are given as absolutes rather than as percentages of the population, a common trick when the statistics don't fit the narrative you're painting, or if there has been a change in reporting methodologies in the last 10 years.

Regardless, I am sure being called a batty man by a gang of rudeys and heckled out of the takeaway you're waiting on food for is a deeply unpleasant experience, but if that's the fucking worst example of a 'hate crime' they could find to spice this story up, I'm remaining sceptical on the Uk as 'transghanistan'

Intersectionality is the most important principle of all, until one groups struggle conflicts with the struggle of a group we want to place over it, then all other interests must give way to the "superior" group's desired interests. As trans women always and forever are the most important group because of [ERROR NOT FOUND] their desired interests must take priority over all others at all times and it is hatred, bigotry and outright genocide not to favor their interests above all others at all times. All other groups have a duty to recognize the permanent superiority of trans women due to [ERROR NOT FOUND] or they are betrayers of The Cause and are complicit in fascism, neo-Nazism, capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy.

But when it's about TLoU P1 and GoWR they acting as if the sky will fall or something.

User warned: inflammatory accusations, if you have an issue with a post then report it instead of doing what you did

This is a thinly veiled attempt at console warring, but there is a huge difference between leaking promotional material like the Alone in the Dark leak, stuff that you’ll likely see on Amazon and leaking in-game content probably not meant for public consumption outside of those that will play the game.

Both leaks suck, but one leak will likely lead into spoilers, and that’s incredibly unfair not just to the devs but the fans waiting years to play the game.

Can the mods ban this image please?

Back in the day, that image was just cringe. Plain, regular, normal, everyday cringe. Then once everything happened (or rather, nothing happened) it became cringe in a more ironic way. But not a "Ha ha" ironic way, but more like a cynical Outer Limits type of irony, but the "last man on Earth and all you want to do is spend your life reading, but your eyes fall out" kind of irony.

Then it started getting so overused it became cringe in an annoying way, where it just induced groans, and you have to pinch your forehead or the bridge of your nose, because it's so bad. But now...finally...it's looped back around and become actually...funny! It took so many years, but I'm finally at that point! Maybe that's just Stockholm syndrome from having seen it so much, but it now tickles me in a way it never used to...and I love it.

I also wonder if someone just posting stuff online also counts as hatecrime considering how a month ago some dude was arrested for posting a lgbt swastika. That's something I imagine would not have been reported to the police a couple of years ago.

Also, particularly fucking scummy of Kuntuji to edit the thread to be only about the T and ignore the LGB aspect of the source

They’re just making shit up in that thread. Multiple people have accused Rowling of being a homophobe.

Two, as far as the LGB group that's just a smokescreen. I think the latest info is only 7% percent of those who consider themselves part of that group are actually LGBT.

That’s strange because charity membership numbers are private and the closest thing I can find is this tweet suggesting over 80% of their conference attendees are gay or bisexual.

I've only heard this hilarious news story but I guess it's not quite free speech related

An Australian government official’s display of pop culture, comics and anime figurines in their office has been declared a ‘psychological hazard’, according to a statement from the Comcare government agency.

The bizarre intersection of public servant and waifu figurines entered the national consciousness last year. Around 20 figurines were reportedly displayed in the office of Gerard Boyce, who remains the deputy president of the Fair Work Commission, and the figures had become the subject of debate at a Senate Estimates hearing.

Because i saw alot of members, not just one or two, who engaging with leaks threads normally.
But when it's about TLoU P1 and GoWR they acting as if the sky will fall or something.

User warned: inflammatory accusations, if you have an issue with a post then report it instead of doing what you did

This is a thinly veiled attempt at console warring, but there is a huge difference between leaking promotional material like the Alone in the Dark leak, stuff that you’ll likely see on Amazon and leaking in-game content probably not meant for public consumption outside of those that will play the game.

Both leaks suck, but one leak will likely lead into spoilers, and that’s incredibly unfair not just to the devs but the fans waiting years to play the game.

DUSK GOLEM WAS HERE

Reeeeesetera:

   Leak shitty details from a shitty videogame
  Leak state secrets putting people's lives at risk

[Potato]

Not to mention they're often posted/shared without any summary or anything and largely you're expected to drop 40 min to 3 hours of your time before you're allowed to engage according to those who post it.

This is bad especially when the material is bad and ridiculous aka Contrapoint's entire canceling series

If you watch any amateur YouTube video that's longer than 5 minutes, you're a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.
