JK rowling just released a book about about a youtuber who get stabbed to death for making transphobic animations. it is supposedly 600 pages longer than Dune.
In her new book, Rowling introduces readers to Edie Ledwell, a creator of a popular YouTube cartoon who sees internet trolls and her own fandom turn on her after the cartoon was criticized as being racist and ableist, as well as transphobic for a bit about a hermaphrodite worm.
She wrote the Atlas Shrugged of "sO mUcH foR tHe ToLeRaNt LeFt".
Here in reality, I can't think of a single instance of an online bigot being murdered for their bullshit, but there ARE tens of thousands of trans people who've been murdered for being trans...
Here in reality, the most well known trans youtubers all take their opsec deadly seriously, and at least one who didn't is currently in hiding because it turns out the hate mob really only goes one way.
I'm not even sure that she wasn't taking opsec seriously.
The second time she got doxxed, it was because she posted a picture of her cat sitting on her hotel bed and KF figured out where she was because of what the fucking sheets looked like
Keffals, as far as I know, literally fled across the Atlantic after Kiwifarms sent a cop swat team to her house.
I honestly can't think of what would be "overreacting" to being Swatted. I don't think I'd ever feel safe again.
If someone SWATed me I would almost certainly end up dead, because if I heard the door opening unexpectedly downstairs or a window breaking I would grab my gun. Especially considering how deadly cops are this shit needs to be considered attempted homicide.
I'd make shotgun traps all around my house and buy a comically large cannon to say "tally ho, federal agents"
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended
It was technically only two people. Both obliterated by the mods.
:stupidpol: :stupidpol: :ban-hammer: :coming-to-xi-you:
They knew way to much about the situation for any excuses.
and then i believe she got doxxed again in ireland and had to go to a 3rd country after that
Honestly, ya'll should consider this a success. This woman keeps getting owned so badly online and her own fanbase (the good ones anyway) have turned against her in such force that she constantly spends her time yelling "I'm not owned, I'm not owned"
Edie opened the message. In an instant, the display of her mobile was filled with a hideous image depicting a pig with overly enlarged testicals, both of which appeared to be covered in the beast's own feces. Before her mind could catch up with her eyes, Edie's fingers jumped into action. Without a thought, she tapped the browser shut and began to dial the numbers she'd dialed so many times before: 9-1-1.
"Another threat, officer. And that's Ms. Ledwell, I'll have you know."
Okay here's the plan:
-
Pirate the book
-
Read the first ten pages where the transphobe sure as shit better get killed
-
Cackle
-
JK Rowling is publishing a 1000+ page novel
"Brevity is the soul of wit" - William Shakespeare
People make fun of guys really into infinite jest, but imagine being the guy who owns the JK Rowling transphobic screed. Like at least you could separate the art from the artist with infinite jest.
What did three names man do wrong? I've read some stuff from him before and it seemed good.
He was abusive toward a partner. From the wiki:
In the early 1990s, Wallace was in a relationship with writer Mary Karr. She later described Wallace as obsessive about her and said the relationship was volatile, with Wallace once throwing a coffee table at her and once forcing her out of a car, leaving her to walk home.[15][16] Years later, she said that Wallace's biographer D. T. Max underreported Wallace's abuse. Of Max's account of their relationship, she tweeted, "That's about 2% of what happened."
I am fully convinced that her ability to take constructive criticism has plummeted since she became wealthy and famous, including and especially in her writing. The Harry Potter books are a bloated mess on top of all their thematic failures, but they still have some sort of flow to them. I just highly doubt her ability to coherently edit down her writing.
Actually, that’s something that doesn’t get talked about much. She’d been writing bits and pieces of Harry Potter forever before she finally finished a single book. And the catalyst for her ability to finally push through and write a book? She was on welfare even though she had a child. The story is always told like that. As if being a poor parent is some inherent rock bottom she had to climb up from.
Isnt she from a rich family. Like I am not against having a public support system for people at all, but the way the story is told she was poor rock bottom scraping it by.
It sounds like Edie has a strangely similar life to that of JK Rowling. Almost as if JK were writing about herself. Ha, she wouldn't do that, unless:thinking-about-it:
Imagine being so rich you could build a castle entirely out of bricks of pure cocaine and spend the rest of your days banging professional models and hanging out in the fanciest restaurants in the world and generally just doing every depraved hedonistic thing you could possibly imagine, but instead you decide to devote your efforts to punching down on the most vulnerable 1/2 of 1% of the population.
"I cannot be wrong"
That's it, that's all there is; somewhere along the way (or maybe it was always there), she developed this complex that is very prevalent in "self-made" rich people. So she refuses to let well enough alone, and insists that she is the victim because in her eyes she truly IS the victim; she is correct because she has always held the "correct" opinions (which were libshit but still popular and "righteous"), and people are "bullying" her for that.
the cartoon was criticized as being racist
let me guess, it included a chinese cricket named cheng chung and a character who was constantly mocked as a snowflake sjw for opposing mouse slavery or smth like that
I can’t think of a single instance of an online bigot being murdered for their bullshit
Charly Hebdo did get got pretty hard a few years ago, but they're kind of the exception that proves the rule.
Either way, critical support to comrade Rowling for penning this bold call to action against TERFs.
Charly Hebdo
even that was right wing conservatives murdering people
just not the right wing conservatives that westerners like in their countries
All she had to do is just sit there and collect royalty cheques, and she'd be beloved for multiple generations despite the flimsiness of her stories. But no...
"Edie Ledwell" is the most English name I can think of
i can think of a more english one, but it would show up as removed removed
I guess Mark Twain was correct about writing what you know
