So the big story of the day seems to be a big list of people signing off on a list or making their own PR statements about how much they support J.K. Rowling. And there's a whole lot of names on that list I recognize as members of the same cult who know exactly what they're doing
but I kinda have to give the benefit of the doubt that a few people throwing their support in are a bit misinformed on exactly what it is they're supporting there.

Like are people aware that the thing that first got the spotlight on Rowling was her going accidentally public with
her support of a woman violently assaulting a trans person in the street? And I don't mean supporting someone who did that, I mean she was explicitly playing devil's advocate over the assault itself.

And I know it's easy to lose things in the shuffle when she's throwing so much
transphobic propaganda out there, but another thing over which she's been getting a fair bit of criticism is endorsing, following, and citing in her rambles one James Cantor, a "sex researcher" whose career is primarily focused on destigmatizing pedophilia. And quite explicitly.
It's worth noting of course that unless I'm scrolling right past it, Rowling seems to have scrubbed her more overt endorsements of him from her Twitter recently, which I note not in the interest of fairness but because I literally just found out that Cantor's career just took a
nosedive since his massive endorsement of Rowling was apparently the splash of water to the face his former colleagues needed to realize they were rubbing elbows with a far right bigoted creep literally pushing for pedophile rights. pinknews.co.uk/2020/08/26/can…
If you told me only one
of these two was facing career consequences for being BFFs bonding over their shared hate of trans people, that is decidedly not who I would have put my money on.

Oh and just to clarify, there is zero chance that Rowling, or any of the other famous transphobes putting their
hands in their pockets and whistling as they try to casually walk away from him just... somehow didn't notice they were endorsing Mr. "Add the P to LGBT" here. It's his whole thing. That whole crowd has been kissing his boots for years because he writes crap on his blog about how
pedophiles get an unfair reputation as sexual deviants who prey on children when it's really trans people you want to watch out for. And they quite happily cite these as "scientific studies" when writing their absurd exterminationist rants.

Plus, y'know- archive.is/RhN6k

Looking at some conversations relating to the big topic of the week here, I'm seeing a lot of speculation that the reason you don't see this sort of basic simple fact checking on transphobic talking points because the bulk of reporting on trans issues is from reporters who can't
be bothered to do enough research to learn the secret truth that trans people don't eat babies and every credible medical organization says we are who we say we are and outright need the medical treatment we seek out.

And that speculation is just wrong on every possibly level.
First off, reporters actually are obligated to research the hell out of the things they write. Even if it's not a serious article for a major newspaper or something, if you're just writing some soft little fluff piece for a magazine or something, you've got an editor and a bunch

I'm actually finding it hilariously difficult to watch that thing I've RTed people hyping so much.

If you want to give people a taste to entice you to subscribing to a thing, maybe don't keep that preview gated behind signing into an account where password resets take many days.
Here's me, excited for this Content(tm). Willing to give you my valuable Statistical Data. And I in fact have an old account with you, somehow. But you won't let me in, so now I go "hmm... having hit a wall here, is there some other way to watch this?

This is why piracy happens.
... yeah I either have to wait like 15 more hours, get an alternate link (🏴‍☠️) or watch over the shoulder of someone who streams it or something. Utterly ridiculous for a free first taste sorta deal.

Once again I find myself in a position to remind people that it is possible to remind people that a company is working with a notable fascist to produce something without literally linking to the promotional flier for what is being produced. I swear, you don't need visual aids.
Case in point is a cosmetics company that does media tie in makeup kids doing one with the monsterous former children's book author. If you were a fan, you probably caught that, if you routinely buy similar things, you can now easily enough research who to maybe boycot. Here I am
though not giving out any free advertising to them, and avoiding making it easy for any weird hate-followers to click through and actively support a bigot to spite me.

I can also remind you she gets paid if people buy that videogame without giving you a link to go preorder it.

So I have 3 quick important points to bring up at this point we are currently at in the still ongoing process of getting KF wiped off the internet:

#1- Hell of a lot of people who are 100% certainty part of the problem are presently going mask off to whine about it. I want to be
crystal clear that there are absolutely ZERO reasons for any person on the planet to react to that site going away with anything other than joy. If someone is saying it's some sort dangerous precedent about free speech or whatever, that is a lie. That is in particular, a lie that
that Nazis have workshopped for years and at this point all understand as a dogwhistle. To them "free speech" means "attacking minorities" and nothing else. And that is the only context the phrase can be used in with regard to KF. This isn't a website where people are posting any

It's impressive how quickly this ball is rolling now that it's clearly downhill. For instance, this was 5 hours ago...
And 3.

... could we actually keep this going and fulfill that self prophecy from Mumsnet, just keep rolling and flatten the other big site where white supremacists coordinate to get as many trans people killed as they can? Image

Years later it still blows my mind that someone seriously wrote a childrens book in which an idealistic child sets out to end chattel slavery and this exists only as a setup to make fun of her naive childish idealism as a running subplot that ultimately accomplishes nothing.
Like everyone in the world read that book, and then everyone in the world just kinda head-canoned that no no obviously that campaign was successful and slavery was ended.

But for real, you go read the actual books, and at the end, slavery is alive and well. The story ends with
the protagonist ordering his slave to make him a sandwich. H has to walk down a hall lined with the severed heads of other slaves to do so. They're decorated with little Santa hats from earlier.

They never shut down the prison where innocent people are tortured by demons either.
