Yeah, that retweet got me MATI when I saw it. It's one thing to understand what Rowling said and disagree with her - but
these fuckers, my god. No reading comprehension, not even a shred of logic - it's like their brains operate at a purely surface level, automatically responding to outside stimuli with a vaguely-woke-sounding (and completely nonsensical) reply, without ever once engaging their higher intellectual functions.
The worst part is, it proves Rowling's overarching point that the trans movement is Orwellian. The behavior that Lou et al are engaged in is something Orwell identified in 1984, too -
duckspeak. Quack quack, victims, quack quack erasure. Quack quack quack.
Almost four and a half thousand likes.
Four and a half thousand people see Rowling say "rapists with penises are men, not women" - see her say it! It's right there, quoted verbatim in the tweet! - and then become a pitchfork mob because they've somehow twisted "rapists with penises are men, not women" into Rowling saying "rape victims are not victims and do not exist".
At absolute worst, Rowling is erasing
trans rapists. And clearly, she's not even doing that - "erasure" is just wokespeak for what she's actually doing: pointing out facts and puncturing the absurdist fantasies of the dangerously mentally ill.
But let's just assume, for the sake of argument, that she's erasing tranny rapists. Let's assume that Rowling wants to erase the quote=unquote "lived experiences" of any True and Honest Dickgirl who's ever raped a penisless woman.
Is that such a bad thing?
The more rapists we "erase", the better.
I wish Lou would do this more often. This is the Lou I like. No politics, no grifting, no calling random strangers nazi pedo terfs because they read Harry Potter once. Just a simple, straightforward, village idiot.
I've sperged about ADF Phil before, and how in an ideal world, where the better angels of his nature took over, Phil would be a mild-mannered urban planner, with a nice sleepy desk job with some town council somewhere, planning highway offramps and drawing maps for new bike paths the mayor wants to see along Main and High Street.
In Lou's case, it can sometimes be more difficult to see the better angels of his nature. But I think they exist, and I think that these are the kinds of interactions that reveal them.
In an ideal world, or at least a world that is kinder to Lou, I could see him being some kind of racist standup comic. Not heavy duty racism, mind you - just light, casual racist humor, like Jeff Dunham only without the puppets. Lou's not talented and wouldn't be able to do it as a job - I imagine he'd find work as a pizza cook, maybe even own his own local Italian restaurant - but I could see Lou doing silly little leprechuan and Scrooge McDuck skits on Youtube, get a couple dozen Likes here and there from his fellow cartoon autists.
