Kowert said that to understand the research, you need to
understand the concept known as “identity fusion.” They define this as when an identity is almost the defining trait of a personality, something that pervades all aspects of a person’s life.

Quote
“Identity fusion is when the social identity, the individual identity, fuses together and you can't tear them apart…. The way in which fusion is shown to develop makes them more susceptible to more extreme behaviors." 

Wish we can just run over the chuds expressing their universality of gamerness

That's some incredible work and I'll be using this myself to convince people that Rowling shouldn't be taken seriously as a well-meaning activist. I do have one suggestion though. I don't see Rowling mentioned in linked Forbes article about the scrapping of the proffered reform in the Gender Recognition Act. I tried to find a link to suggest that provides additional context but the results are all saturated with the latest stunt against Nichola Sturgeon. Anyway, I think the pipeline of Twitter activism into actual legislation that negatively effects peoples' lives is really important to highlight. But I couldn't find anything on Google that unambiguously evidences that.

Kyuji gets fact checked, doubles down anyway.

Why did everyone start targetting JKR again in the first place? Oh yeah, Pink News said her article was “wrong”, “incorrect” and “not true” about issues with the way the GRA was worded and she had concerns about that.

Remember that gay Estonian paramedic who was murdered by the homophobic fascist Estonian police and then burned to destroy the evidence? At least that's what Pink News reported (or heavily insinuated). In reality, the paramedic was a known serial arsonist and accidentally set himself on fire when he tried to burn down his neighbor's house. Pink News is basically the National Enquirer for the rainbow crowd.

Driving is one of the few things that soothes me, and it helped any stress I had during the pandemic. I get to relax and be on my own, listen to music and eat some snacks, and go wherever I want to go and potentially discover things I didn't know was around. Gives me a feeling of freedom.

Mysteries of thinking driving while high as fuck on booze and edibles is NBD and being only able to get a car loan from family members at extortionate rates solved, I guess

Why did you cut off the best part where she is scared of driving out in the country cause her versa might break down.

Maybe I came on strong. My point was that comparing Pratt with Millar is completely ridiculous. Millar needs help for his mental issues and he's a danger to himself and others, with multiple ongoing police cases.

Pratt is a guy who goes to church and is a close personal friend of Gunn's. He hasn't said or done anything.

So in my personal experience online and offline, when it comes to Rowling, it's usually 1 of these 5 scenarios:

1. Aren't aware of Rowling's actions (usually Children, noticed when I was listing to the classic radio last morning for University, Harry Potter was playing as part of the School run selection).
2. Are aware and in denial about it, not really wanting to acknowledge it because they don't like the idea of their favourite work being related to her actions.
3. Are aware but don't realize the extent of it, mostly because of how downplayed the UK media has made it be.
4. Are aware and support it.
5. Are aware and just don't care and by HP stuff anyway which just means you're no better that 4. In-action is still an action.

Offline, it's usually been 2, 3 & 5 and online usually 4 & 5 outside of places like this thread and trans friendly places.

I really dread how bad things are gonna get for trans people here in the UK. The current government are far too happy to use culture wars to distract from their failings. And the public just eat it up.

It's kinda hard to actually put into words just how dominant the topic has become. The other day I was passing someone in a wheelchair at the local supermarket talking to an employee. As I grabbed a couple things behind them I realised what the customer was saying was that he apparently 'doesn't mind them' but ' men are men and women are women' then went off on some shit about bathrooms ofc. And the employee agrees 👍

You can bet I took another pass to get that name tag and put in a complaint. But how the fuck do you feel comfortable venting your shit opinions like that at work, in such a public workspace constantly filled with people! The country is fucked.

And how does the guy in a wheelchair not see that the people he's joining on this hate crusade hate him too? My wifes disabled so I know all too well how they get treated by our government. Punching down while thrown off a cliff somehow.

I’m fucking pissed because academic and science twitter communities are better than anything out there for disseminating news and following colleagues and collaborating. Most of you will never use this resource but for those of us who did, there’s not really a valid replacement. LinkedIn feels like ass in comparison, and it’s stuffy and feels like there’s no room for takes or humor.

My thoughts while reading the article were that the real happy ending for him wouldn’t be for the harassment to stop but for him to move somewhere better than Quebec. It says that he considered it and he didn’t to stay, so it could have been for a number of reasons, but I’m assuming one of the largest factors was what keeps anyone from getting the hell out of a bad place: it costs too much to uproot and move.

Quote from: Morrigan, post: 95588199, member: 27
Or maybe, from his OWN WORDS, that he says he loves Quebec City and its people, because despite the ordeal he went through, there are still things to enjoy and appreciate about the place? Nah, couldn't be...

Almost like an immigrant persecuted by the government and harassed by the masses doesn’t wanna rock the boat and will say what’s necessary to keep himself and his family safe  ::)

I just don't want Twitter to die because I actually like the people there. FaceBook aint the same. I hope some replacement does come along if the shit hits the fan.

I follow a lot of good artists and game devs on Twitter. I'd lose all of that. Where am I gonna go? Pinterest? Back to Tumblr?
Quote
Where ever the people you like go?
Just cause twitter goes away, doesn’t mean the people go away. People aren’t profiles, voices will just find another platform.

It’s called “followers” for a reason.
Just drift.

I think it’s a healthy attitude to be more platform agnostic and more people-centric. If social connection is your thing.

I used to post on GAF, and then people came here so I followed :🤷: didn’t like the people who stayed there as much.

People over plarform (lol?)
Quote
The jump from GAF to here is such a weirdly specific situation. This site is an incredibly direct successor/replacement that a large amount of people were on board with jumping to pretty much immediately. No potential Twitter replacement is going to have anything close to that happen.

Also I don’t even know what “platform agnostic and people-centric” would mean in this context. The kind of people The Real Abed brought up aren’t people you know super personally and could stay connected to elsewhere.There’s tons of people I’ve followed for years that would definitely slip through the cracks if people actually started jumping to various other sites.

Driving is one of the few things that soothes me, and it helped any stress I had during the pandemic. I get to relax and be on my own, listen to music and eat some snacks, and go wherever I want to go and potentially discover things I didn't know was around. Gives me a feeling of freedom.
So we're okay with people eating while driving now?

So, if a thread is created about an "ethnic name" (ERROR: UNDEFINED) then you can't explain why Biden might have misspoke (alternatives include his stuttering and the fact he's like 86 or whatever) and you can't make a joke about the UK churning through PMs? Because this apparently downplays Biden's vicious ethnic hatred?

Kowert said that to understand the research, you need to
understand the concept known as “identity fusion.” They define this as when an identity is almost the defining trait of a personality, something that pervades all aspects of a person’s life.

Quote
“Identity fusion is when the social identity, the individual identity, fuses together and you can't tear them apart…. The way in which fusion is shown to develop makes them more susceptible to more extreme behaviors." 
I spend how long saying this and I get labeled a "stochastic terrorist" posting on "hate sites" and then these academics just tweet it out publish it and ResetERA.com doesn't even lock the thread about it for being "right-wing propaganda" by checking the authors follows or likes?

Elon owns Twitter for less than 24 hours and now Pelosi’s husband was attacked. SMH. When will Elon stop this senseless violence.

This attack on our democracy is already being covered up by the pro-Elon alt-right media:

This should be major news but it won't be. Glad nobody died.

It was breaking on CNN.
I mean I know it will be reported on, obviously, but if this was McConnel or McCarthy the outrage from the public would last until the elections regardless of the motivations . This will probably be a whimper.

Quote
I’m thinking this is not a random incident.
Absolutely no way at all it was random. This seems like the exact kind of thing a Trump cultist would do.
Quote
If it isn't politically motivated, we'll hear nothing until the election about how Democrats are responsible for the savage crime across the country that even the Spesker's husband isn't safe in liberal cities.

Muh left wing terrorism.

Rand Paul's neighbor fucked around and found out that free random acts of chaos doesn't mean freedom from consequences so he got to spend eight months in jail, another six months of home confinement but not in the home next to Paul because he had to sell that to pay his half million dollar civil judgement against him. (Thankfully the Trump DOJ did not prosecute him for attacking a Senator.) :trumps

Elon Musk is orchestrating these attacks on Pelosi's husband to juice the stock price.  He knows the man is an impeccable trader and he's jealous of his success, and he needs Twitter stock to go up.  Remember, Elon didn't want this company, we made him buy it.  Now he's mad and he knows only violence can juice it up - people only invest if they see a return, and if you look at our media landscape which is full of hate and bigotry - it's the biggest money maker in this capitalist hellscape.   It's crazy that we're at this point but I won't leave Twitter even though it's full of nazis responsible for countless deaths.  I'm going to stand here like a brave child shaking her fist in the sky from the hollowed out city square of Boulogne-sur-Mer during ww2.  In fact, if you put me in charge of the gas chambers, I won't leave.  I'll pull that lever, but meanwhile I'm blocking all the ads so Hitler can't make Google Ad Sense money.

I’m sure era will find out the reason for the attack and then claim it’s fine when they realise the victim did something untoward, I mean we all know violence is the only way
