JK rowling just released a book about about a youtuber who get stabbed to death for making transphobic animations. it is supposedly 600 pages longer than Dune.

In her new book, Rowling introduces readers to Edie Ledwell, a creator of a popular YouTube cartoon who sees internet trolls and her own fandom turn on her after the cartoon was criticized as being racist and ableist, as well as transphobic for a bit about a hermaphrodite worm.

She wrote the Atlas Shrugged of "sO mUcH foR tHe ToLeRaNt LeFt".

Here in reality, I can't think of a single instance of an online bigot being murdered for their bullshit, but there ARE tens of thousands of trans people who've been murdered for being trans...

    Even now, even here, there are concern trolls claiming Keffals wants attention or is overreacting. :sus-soviet:

      I honestly can't think of what would be "overreacting" to being Swatted. I don't think I'd ever feel safe again.

        If someone SWATed me I would almost certainly end up dead, because if I heard the door opening unexpectedly downstairs or a window breaking I would grab my gun. Especially considering how deadly cops are this shit needs to be considered attempted homicide.

        I'd make shotgun traps all around my house and buy a comically large cannon to say "tally ho, federal agents"

          Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended

        It's easy to call something overreacting if one has not had that experience or has to live it every moment outside of an insulated theoretical. See the :reddit-logo: chuds that smirk about what they would really do in a life threatening crisis instead of being "hysterical" or "emotional."

        It was technically only two people. Both obliterated by the mods.

        :stupidpol: :stupidpol: :ban-hammer: :coming-to-xi-you:

        They knew way to much about the situation for any excuses.

        It was a different thread, but it had some wreckers concern-trolling about how actually Keffals was overreacting and that the K*wiFarms nazis aren't actually a problem.
