I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.

My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.

      I’d recommend reading what the woman herself said and not a third party with a clear agenda interpreting it for you.

        At this point her twitter is pretty horrific, yes, but some people would benefit from seeing how she got there and putting it in context.

        That “clear agenda” being “I am a trans woman and I’d like to not be hated for existing”.

        Just so anyone reading along knows how disingenuous this person’s comment is.

          Oh right. Here we go again.

          It genuinely doesn’t matter what I (or anyone) say does it? Trans women are trans women. Women are women. Women deserve their spaces away from male humans, and I’m sorry if that hurts their feelings. I don’t hate them. I don’t even think about them on a day to day basis.

          But anything less than 100% agreement and capitulation to what you believe about yourself, and apparently I hate you and want you to die.

          The opposite of disagreement is actually not hate and death threats. Unless of course, you disagree with so-called TERFs in which case go ahead and post stuff like this.

          My comment was not disingenuous. But yours is certainly hyperbolic, bordering on ridiculous.

            Your comments are extremely disingenuous, considering you pretend that TERFs want anything except bad things for the people they hate. What brave feminists, to ally with literal Nazis if it gets them what they want. Screw all feminist causes, they are worth sacrificing so that the violent men will let you sit at the table and you can jeer at the icky “others” together.

            I’m a woman. You don’t speak for me. JKR certainly does not speak for me. Neither does her bestie Kellie-Jay who loves it when literal Nazis show up to her events. They’d really like to burn the books of trans people again like in the literal 1930s.

            If you want to try again to throw your bigoted misinformation at me, I’ll just block you. Because once someone is as far gone as that, they’re beyond saving. And I deserve a space away from bigots, regardless of their gender.

              Block me then? I don’t actually care what you do. You’re just one more frothing anon on the internet.

              I will say your rantings are absolutely delusional. So-called TERFs don’t want bad things and don’t hate people. They don’t ally with Nazis - strange how you view people wanting safe spaces for marginalised people and better care for children as what Nazis want. Nazis were the ones who experimented on children in actual, literal fact. Nazis might have shown up AT a KJK event, but they weren’t invited by her. KJK events are called Let Women Speak.

              You can have your opinion that my opinions are bigoted - that’s fine. But it’s not misinformation.

                They don’t ally with Nazis

                Kellie. Jay. Keen. Aka Posie Parker.

                Nazis might have shown up AT a KJK event, but they weren’t invited by her.

                Like she doesn’t invite men into women’s bathrooms? Like she doesn’t happily embrace the Nazis once they arrive?

                Your ramblings make it so clear you consume information from sources that suit your agenda only.

                Says a person only linking to propaganda sites, not even actual news sites.

                safe spaces for marginalised people and better care for children

                Not for the marginalized people they hate, aka trans people. Or the marginalized people that tell them to STFU, aka the rest of the LGBTQ+ community.

                Or the LGBTQ+ children who are suffering because of them.

                The only people doing any frothing are transphobes like you. You do not speak for women. You do not speak for LGBTQ+ people. You do not speak for actually marginalized people.

                And I don’t think that your opinions are bigoted. They just are. Anyone who allies with or supports KJK is a bigot because she is a literal Nazi.
