Yeah, good luck at getting anyone to acknowledge that they are appropriating something. Pointing out that they do activates defense mode instantly.

For some reason people using FART for TERFs rubs me wrong the same way as those people who had the 'brilliant' idea of referring to atheists as 'brights'.

Honestly when I hear about all the subdivisions of feminists my eyes glaze over, so it's important to identify groups that are just hiding behind a label to lend themselves legitimacy. Like "oh how can I be feminist and a transphobic piece of poo poo?"

Yeah I think BMD and Fangoria are basically putting it out there to say we don't want to owned by lovely people anymore so if someone decent would throw us the cash instead that would be great. I'm assuming that REBELLER is going to stay where it is. I actually like quite a bit they've put on that site even if I don't agree with all of it (and why should I really, that would be boring) but the social media and branding is trying way too hard.

Not really. He wants to keep his job and that nazi article stuff is not public knowledge at all. Where’s this is. If he said “I stand with Cinestate” he loses his cushey Shudder job. So he has to play the game. Maybe he means it. Maybe he doesn’t. Doesn’t matter though.

I'm not surprised to find out she's a sexual assault survivor (because I'm not surprised when any woman says they are) but gently caress her for choosing this moment to reveal that. It's a low key version of Kevin Spacey only publicly coming out of the closet when he was credibly accused of molesting a teenager.

My bias here is obvious but gently caress her. Christ, what a monster. I'm just so pissed about, like above, the Spaceys and now Rowlings of this world going "I'm a pure pristine being and better than you UNTIL I NEED YOUR SYMPATHY, PEONS, CODDLE ME" for poo poo that so many of us have to handle in infinitely more hosed up ways and they can just never speak on until "I was raped" becomes CONVENIENT. I'm so mad.

I mean, I agree that it's bad optics, but given what TERFs largely claim to be afraid of it's not super irrelevant. TERF claims about trans women almost seem uniquely devised to try and get sexual assault survivors to kneejerk out of paranoia.

I can't tell you what started her initially, years ago, but the recent essay comes just as a bunch of Harry Potter actors have spoke out in defense of trans people as a direct response to her poo poo the other day. She's defending herself. https://www.twitter.com/Kt_Leung/status/1269574865733988356 Radcliffe, here, through the Trevor project.

Yes, this. In her mind she is a representative of the ultimate oppressed class, a woman. Intersectionality basically never came into play for TERFs like her, so she can pursue something like this with a righteous fervor that you don’t see in most middle class white feminists outside of the UK.

I suppose if anyone wants to offset any money they spent on consuming media she was involved, you could a lot worse than donate to the Homeless Black Trans women fund, The Okra Project, Black Trans Travel Fund, the Emergency Release Fund, The Trevor Project, or the apparent sworn enemies of Brit TERFs everywhere (in Britain and Ireland, apparently), Mermaids UK.

Rebeller has now ended in the wake of Cinestate stuff. I still like *some* of the articles they put up (Vern is a great critic) but they were walking a pretty fine line as it was.
