Yeah the endless "So-and-so is a TERF? Since when?!" cycle will always be with us The angry activists don't actually have all that big of a voice usually, and the beloved celebrity they try to cancel stays beloved "Just ignore her and let her yell into the void" doesn't work https://twitter.com/yearningfern/status/1270950804065677314 …

Bingo, it is a viable strategy with Glinner cause he's a broken old man whose career and influence are largely over, but Rowling is one of the best known names in literature and highly respected in many social circles, her awful words carry serious weight

I don't think it's a "viable strategy" with Glinner I think Glinner SUCCEEDED in pushing the Overton window hard in favor of TERFism in the UK, during that whole time period when people saw him as an ally and didn't want to rock the boat

He's a laughingstock now BECAUSE people stopped ignoring him Because people started pushing back, hounding him, dunking on him, calling out how horrible he's become at every opportunity

These social shifts don't just happen by magic, it's not some kind of rule that bad opinions die on their own because of their obvious stink of badness It takes effort, it's a conscious choice people have to make to fight it
