Being anti pedophile is right wing? I thought it was "human"

The obtuseness! Rowling would have obviously been assuming children in the age range her book was targeted at would have a parent following her on twitter. Or does that idiot think 6-9 yr olds go to the shops on their own to buy books? 🙄 But yes, let's blame a children's author for other people posting porn in a place they know children will visit.

Isn't it interesting how rarely we see anyone on that side of the fence objecting to the dangers and damage of pornography. But that's not surprising when you look at the coupling of TWAW and sex work is work.

Of the many many things I've hated about the JK Rowling debacle, the worst is probably the way that a woman is blamed for horrific things that men do. I saw an online post unironically saying that Rowling was causing trans people's deaths by stoking the idea that transwomen are gay men, which will make homophobic men murder them. The poor confused murderer is just led astray by the hateful writings of JK Rowling! And here she's being blamed that vile men are seeking out a place where they knew children would be looking and posting pornography there (as paedophiles do).

That woman needs to be canonized for how much she has taken and how patiently she's done it.

Lotta people here playing word games. So I suppose I'll join in with one of my own:

🔵"Why isn't Lois on the same side as the people protesting against pedophilia?" 🤔

I’m heartened as went on Twitter and can see that all these tweets have had the backlash they deserve. Americans are peaked - they have had enough of anti fa, they are supporting the police response saying that men who come out to defend paedos deserve a whacking. Major woke backlash on the horizon. As for those twisting JKR’s tweets they are just shouting in an echo chamber. No one sane is listening. Parents were tweeting on behalf of children - the children haven’t got Twitter accounts. I see a massive scraping of the bottom of the barrel going on here. Let them continue. They will expose themselves without any help from us 😁

Jolyon Maugham is such an idiot, most of the artwork submitted was by parents on behalf of their children and not from their own accounts.

it's absolutely demonic. I think in the writer's fervor to mischaracterize this as conservative only she slipped up with 'anti-pedophile'. LOLOL classic.

I just fucking despair.

That's quite a gaff! Lois Beckett is pro-pedophile are we to assume? Elsewhere arch wally Gemma Stone aka NotCursedE and about twenty other nom de plumes feels the urge to shout his mouth off on Medium the moment JK Rowling pops up with a supportive comment to the thoroughly decent and thoughtful Milli Hill who has been helping women with childbirth issues for more than ten years. If JKR had said grass is green he'd find some way to call it transphobic. Some troon started making veiled threats against Milli with “Milli, you obviously haven’t learned from the response @jk_rowling got from her post" which JKR responded to by saying the only thing women have learned from her experience is not to submit to silencing; JKR got a tsunami of support for her stance and Milli could expect the same. Gamma globule seemed to have privileged information revealing that JKR actually got clobbered. Don't think so soapStone. And now we can see the same fantastic support Milli's getting. Pregnant women don't want to be called birthing people. Get over it.

Just when you think some of these transactivists can't sink any lower ,they DO !! No reasonable person would believe that JK ROWLING would have anything to do with porn tweeted at children ,or that the " flasher " incidents at the WI SPA were a hoax or fake !! Spreading lies is what they do best and they don't care how many people are hurt in the process !! Just finished reading TRANS by Helen Joyce and it's a brilliant book. Very well written and insightful and above all COMPLETELY TRUE !! I would recommend it to everyone !! I've ordered a copy for my sister as a gift !!

Not a hoax. I was there that night. I'm one of the people in line in the viral video. A bunch of women stormed out of the ladies lockers, including a mother with her young child, complaining about a naked transgender person. #WiSpa

Re Wi Spa...I have never owned a business but I have to look at this and think...you know, If I did, and I did not want a TOTAL melee for weeks on end in the press, and riots in front of my business, and grafitti all over the street, and people literally being beat bloody in front of me, I would think perhaps I might refuse to tolerate men flashing their penises at women and girls in businesses.

LOL. Antifa's tantrums are incredibly counterproductive. Not only does it make the TRA narrative look more nuts than it already is, but also it has to make business owners want to be super careful about what can happen to their business in the age of smart phones and internet. I bet Wi Spa wishes they'd ushered the man into a third space.

This crap will not fly in the so-called 'fly-over' states.

Does this mean the journalist sees the other side as…. pro-pedophile supporters? Is this the new societal fault line that people violently protest about? Peak Gruaniad.

So is Joylon Maugham saying he thinks posting porn images to 13 yr olds is okay? Oh my gosh, yes, that actually IS what he's saying. Somebody quote that immediately!! 😁
