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

Oh no Arthur, now you’re back to ‘that abuse is ok because of what she said’. Do make your mind up, please. It is so hard to keep track of whether you are an pretty unpleasant person or not.

I'm not changing my stance at all here I think it's "not okay" as in it's a bad, negative thing Is it "okay" or "acceptable" in the sense that I'm willing to accept that it happened and am not moved to speak or act against it? Yup, absolutely, I plead guilty

Oh, another scarecrow? No problem that you don’t feel moved to complain. That is not a point I have made. You have decided that anyone else saying, sufficiently publicly, that this abuse is bad is a terrible person because they should work their way down your list. Poor cats.

Yes, because they're not really speaking against abuse, they're speaking in favor of JKR's position, which is evil

It's either that they agree with what she said or they don't quite agree but they think "Jo doesn't deserve to be abused because she's famous and she's my friend" Either position is despicable
