Headline: J.K. Rowling Responds to Pipebomb Death Threat, Hits Out at Trans Activists
No she doesn’t “hit out” – she tweets words. See also: the American Booksellers Association claiming to have committed “violence” by including a gender critical book in a promotion.

J. K. Rowling has hit out at a Twitter user on Monday, after she was sent a “pipebomb” threat amid a series of attacks over her previous statements about trans women.
She didn’t “hit out” at anyone.
The Harry Potter author shared a screenshot of the offending tweet, which was directed at her on Sunday, as she slammed the efforts of some trans activists to get her “cancelled.”
Always choose the violent metaphor.
On Sunday, Rowling hit back at another Twitter user, who accused the star of ignoring “porn tweeted at children” in her posts.
She didn’t hit back. She hasn’t hit anyone, she hasn’t physically slammed anyone. She also, by the way, hasn’t tweeted any physical threats at anyone, which is more than the pro-magic-gender side can claim.
Has she tweeted “porn” at children? I’m not aware of that.
Also, listening to the noises made by the activists, there is also that thing of “sex positive” which seems like they wouldn’t be critical of porn being sent to children. They always excuse that when it’s one of thier’s.
Given the character filibuster by Cormorant Shrike in Troubled Blood about pornography I certainly have my doubts (yes I know that characters aren’t necessarily aligned with what an author is thinking but I’m pretty sure that screed is very much Rowling’s own thoughts on the matter).
Some trans boosters posted porn in replies to Rowling when she tweeted showing artwork the kids had drawn from The Ickabog. So now some of those scummy creeps are blaming Rowling for “showing” porn to kids. Which is hypocritical of them given how little so many of them care about exposing kids to inappropriate stuff. Also it is them being the usual lying sacks of you-know-what that so many of them are.
But at least it was a new take on silencing women online – find a woman saying something they don’t like and throw all kinds of sick porn into the replies. Then blame the woman for “allowing” porn on their platform. If enough creeps do it at one time, the target may not be able to remove the stuff dumped on her fast enough and the sleazy creeps have time to take screenshots.
Jeezus. I saw some mutterings about JKR and kids and porn but didn’t get the whole disgusting story.
And it wasn’t “just” porn – there were people tweeting pornographic selfies showcasing their lady dicks. Literally, actual trans women, the world’s most harmless and oppressed group, wanking on a Twitter feed knowing that it was likely to be seen by children. But no, none of them are sexual predators.
