Nah I think that drawing attention to the "abuse" and acting like it's some kind of big deal is a politically charged act that is very much not okay I wouldn't sign a letter condemning the "abuse" against Donald Trump either

It’s a politically charged act, that is not ok, to want less abuse on SM. Err, ok ... Sounds like you want to be able to say to me that you don’t think it’s ok so you don’t look like a sucky human, whilst getting cross with other people who also say it’s not ok.

It's not okay but it's on a spectrum In an ideal world it wouldn't happen, in the world as it is, I don't really care If I could do something to magically stop abuse there's hundreds of thousands of poor and isolated trans women I'd stop it for before I gave a thought to Jo

Cool, can you send me the league table of abuse so I can’t work my way down it? Wouldn’t want to get anything in the wrong order, lest my accountant tell me off.

You're probably good at this when you're not being disingenuous; basically everyone is. If someone constantly talks about discrimination against white ppl, but somehow never gets as angry about discrimination against POC, no one thinks they're just passionate about equality.

That's my logic here. Someone who is more sympathetic to JK Rowling than to other people facing vastly worse abuse *of the same kind* isn't just worried about abuse. You can blind yourself to that, but these are deductive judgments people make constantly and properly.

Right, the idea that the level of abuse JKR receives is unusual or notable is bullshit in and of itself In and of itself it's an abusive lie, if a subtle and implicit one They're saying this is something "TRAs" are doing that they don't have done TO THEM on the daily

Bloody hell, were there whole paragraphs of that letter I did not read Arthur? I thought it was quite short and I cannot remember a single thing you just wrote being in it. You’re not charging headlong at an army of scarecrows you built again, are you?

Why is it so important to sign a letter condemning all the threats and curse words etc JKR got and not Donald Trump? He gets a lot of abuse on social media, I can show you right now, does that not count as abuse

Why does my neighbor support a charity for stray cats when there are starving human beings in the world? Get their accountant to tell them off post-haste!

Are the stray cats - successfully - fighting against the legal rights of a marginalized population? Then yeah, I have a problem with anyone leaving kibble for those cats
