What happened was that Milo Yiannopolis and 4Chan Trump supporters tainted in liberals’ minds the idea of edgy humor on topics like race and gender into being something “the enemy” did. The right killed comedy by turning it into a serious weapon for themselves.
@jk_rowling
You left out the part where Beth Douglas did anything wrong. Of all the examples you could choose you go with “happens to enjoy posing with an ax?” The horror!

She blocked me after I pointed out several memes she posted supposedly from pro-trans groups were actually a 4Chan prank.
@AriDrennen
Did the original post even imply bottom surgery? Conservatives always want to raise the specter of bottom surgery even when not relevant I’ve noticed.
@KnowingBetterYT
I remember back when I was on the CWCki in the 2019s I saw a page specifically discouraging people from helping her become a better person saying it wouldn’t work and it was better to pick on her instead. That should have clued me in to how sick this all was.
@ContraDeletes
I get that she’s scared to talk about transmedicalism given she’s been accused of it. But this is a really insightful comment even if it stumbles a bit with non-binary issues towards the end there.

@jk_rowling
If only she’d chosen to get behind a more worthy cause. But hey, a few sad DeSantis campaign staffers are mildly more grateful I guess.
@CaelanConrad
This is silly. The book will still sell plenty of copies and be widely available to order. And plenty of its readers won’t know or care who Robert Galbraith is. This clickbait alarmism is silly and even Rosetta must know it’s a lie.

@LilySimpson1312
I don’t know. My impression is that she’s fallen further and further into anti-trans stuff due to being egged on by people saying they support her.
@bornposting
Casablanca, Nosferatu, Psycho, Jaws, Dumb and Dumber, The Lighthouse, Finding Nemo, The Wizard of Oz. This list leaves out a lot. I’ve not seen Freddie Got Fingered but pretty sure not there either.

I know what that book is, but that whole title just makes me think of storm troopers marching in a pride parade with a 🏳️⚧️flag.
@TidyWire
Subverting expectations is a great way to structure jokes. I think people these days across the political compass mistakenly think “insulting people in exactly the way they expect me to” is the height of comedy when good comedy is often the opposite.

My younger self would have swooned to get a response from you. My current self just worries for you. I think spending some time logged off and taking care of yourself might help you feel better. May give you more time for writing.
@terfpunks
I never thought I’d love to see the day when “get off my lawn” old people considered themselves the radical revolutionaries and their kids the establishment. But here we are.

If what you’ve been trying to do is “sidestepping divisive culture war issues” then I can only conclude you’ve been getting very distracted given that all you talk about is divisive culture war issues.
@Liv_Agar
Also I think most of the women mentioned here are cisgender. As per usual this is a “real women don’t do this” that paradoxically would make a good number of ciswomen not real women.

@DrLoupis
I think one person or group is making these corporate Memphis style memes with trans flag backgrounds and fake info to sow division. Has anyone tracked it down yet?

@kenshirotism
“Cancel” is such a confusing word as to be almost meaningless especially when talking about independent internet productions.
@BriannaWu
@triggerpod
But what are your actual goals at this point? What are your policies that will actually help normal people? And could you actually try talking about them for once? My earlier comment still stands.

@marysuewriter
No. She’s more of an Arachne type demanding everyone’s shoes (this is only a joke for people who actually watch Lady Emily’s videos).
@sophie_frm_mars
To everyone who’s come here: please think before turning this into a guilt by association for people who’ve collaborated with Sophie. Some of them might be victims of her. Others especially ones from other countries likely never interacted outside of business or only did briefly.
@cervixpiercer
Honestly, I may be the only one here who prefers PT. Abigail actually understands that issues like vaccines, the NHS, abortion and housing exist. Contra is just so, for lack of a better word, online, that real world issues are mostly side tangents for online ones…
@kat_blaque
I’d respect class reductionists if they actually focused on class. Instead, they tend to focus on loudly complaining whenever anyone mentions any other concern. If you really care about class so much just talk about class.

Michael Jackson was canceled … by death. Also, this guy clearly hasn’t paid attention to Disney + removing his episode so even in death he’s more canceled than Rowling is.
@JedKingly
I’ve not seen the film but I’ve noticed people who don’t like superhero films tend to like it and people who do don’t. That doesn’t mean the movie is bad or good necessarily but it does intrigue me.
@ICanSeeForever1
@ContraPoints
No, she just wrote a novel where the people who complain about cartoon characters are the bad guys. She’d look hypocritical.
@CocoaFox023
Where were they when Good Omens was on Prime? I mean the Anti-Christ saves the day in season one on that show! Does it get a pass for being live action and British?

@AllenGrove15
If someone who looked like Katy showed up in a men’s room do you really think it wouldn’t startle anyone? Maybe try thinking things through for once?
@Chican3ry
It feels like it mostly functions nowadays as a way for TERFs to cut people who prefer the term out of the community. It’s more divide and conquer.

It’s one of these film series that millennials just ignore because it’s unremarkable to them but among its target audience of children and periphery audience of genX and boomers it’s apparently popular.

And with that in mind an early Happy Holidays to you too. Unless you're too offended by me not calling it Christmas. But you know, you don't tell me how to speak.

Just do to reach though he and Ava have the potential to change public perception on the issue in ways few others can, and I thank them for it.
@SocDoneLeft
@emperoreagan
People like this need to actually spend five minutes on left wing Twitter where socialists require each other to hate Democrats or else they’ll get called fake. That’s just as simplistic but it’s hilarious in how it’s almost a different universe from conservatives.
