On the topic of the new profile picture, the "dick" (of course these deviants would immediately see a dick) looks to me like the arm of some sort of blonde-haired stuffed doll or puppet standing on the table behind her:

Late but I'm fairly certain that's a doll's hand
and a better looking pseudo-dong than any of their butchered rot dogs could ever be.

I c an say little about the reviewer he does not say about himself.

This is the blog of Ed Fortune, a forty-something sometime writer, full time nerd, part-time geek and any-time fool.

I am a regular contributor for Starburst Magazine, as well as the Literary Editor for that magazine. I also host and participate in an actual play Star Wars RPG Podcast called Force Majeure

I am available for writing and editing work. Enquire within.

Expect random musings on almost everything. As I tend to work mostly in print, this website isn’t very well updated.

Personal life wise; I’m a queer, middle-aged, cis-gendered married man. Spanish Mum, Geordie Dad, Scottish Goldfish. Big fan of musical theatre. I have a many over-stuffed book-shelves, too many plush toys, a keen interest in LARP, walking and running TTRPGs. Other personal details are available on request, usually over a pint.

Literally nobody cared about troons throwing a trantrum.

Star Wars was a cultural moment. Harry Potter was a cultural moment. Terry Davis proclaiming the you can see CIA Niggers glowing in the dark was a cultural moment. Democracy Manifest was a cultural moment. This stupid play is not a cultural moment, because it is not going to impact our culture in any way.

Even with outrage, it got less viewers than some anime club at a college replaying ancient VHS tapes.

Nobody, not even troons, thought that a "play" with a bunch of screeching idiots screaming about J.K. Rowling was worth anything.

Anyone who "starred" in it now permanently has a besmirched reputation as an absolute fucking idiot.

Guess how many people have watched Harry Potter movies as compared to the 55 absolute idiot dumbfucks who watched this "play?"

How are trannies so consistently unfunny? They're all just parroting moldy moldy mold, they're the kinda dudes to say chuddy, they spam nonsense egg memes. The only thing that's womanly about them is how egregiously unfunny they are.

Troons are unfunny, yes.
Because, generally, they are right-wing men, and as such demonstrate a consistent habit of implying how funny they are compared to how unfunny everyone else is.
Just like the rest of their compadres, all they have is tired memes that they attempt to brute force back into funniness by repeating them so many times it becomes meta.

Just like women are somehow to blame for (male) troons, women are also unfunny like (male) troons.


The people who put on the JK Rowling play forgot that twitter troons don't go to see plays/anywhere. Oops.

I wonder if Hersel' will turn up on the last night, if it lasts that long.
It would be a power move, but
Might be a bit touchy for her, just reading that they apparently have bits with her ex husband in.
It would be totally weird to see someone trying to write about - and imagine basically, as there's no documented info-about a deeply personal, horrible sort of your life, for the sole reason of psychoanalysing you in a way that is fundamentally unsympathetic to your POV.

To circle back to Harry potter, the comparison with lotr made earlier in the thread is quite unfair in my opinion. Tolkien created a world so well-written, so organic you could actually believe it exists. As someone who has a fondness for Harry potter to this day, its strength doesn't reside in its world building, (which is shit) but it's characters. This is apparent in a books vs movies comparison regarding the main trio. The movies turned what was a relatively complex and realistic friends dynamic into a "the hero, the dumb sidekick and the girlboss" type shit that plague mainstream cinema.
The reason why I think it's relevant to the thread is that until recently, the fandom overwhelmingly agreed with this sentiment. You weren't a true Harry potter unless you prefered the books over the movies because the books are more complete and have better characters. But now that jk Rowling became ennemi public number one, the narrative changed entirely. The books were always shits and the only reason it had any kind of impact is because the movie adaptations were just that good. Because there's no way a terf like jk could possibly write something interesting for young audience. Terfs aren't humans after all, they have no thoughts in their head aside from total trans death.

Can we please stop with this balance malarkey. It's right up there with "Safety is our Number 1 Priority" in the list of bullshit we all believe because we're all retarded.

Step 1 of forming an opinion and taking a side is being unbalanced including that which you like and excluding everything opposed to it.

If he does, then he will have no choice but to prove irrefutably that he is "female". He is biologically a man, and if there was any fairness left, his home country would relinquish whatever accolades he received. A full medical checkup that is completely transparent.

They didn't have a choice with the size - they had to change venues at the 11th hour. 55 people on day 1 is good going, though who knows how many were actual punters as opposed to reviewers or venue staff.

In what world is 55 people "good going"? They couldn't even get cast members' family and close friends to show up? I had to scroll up and check that it wasn't a one-man show: turns out it lists seven cast and crew. If we assume that all of those people could convince their parents and two family members or close friends to come to opening night, that already accounts for over half the audience.

Like, there are kids' music recitals where far more than 55 friends and family turn up to hear a dozen 8-year-olds torturously scratch out songs on a violin. And these people could barely get a few dozen people on the opening night, despite reviews in national newspapers? LMAO.

To be fair, how many of those 7 cast and crew have stable relationships, children, friends who aren't also in the play, OR are on speaking terms with their parents?

If there's one good thing about Rowling Derangement Syndrome, it's that it has weeded out the worst of the Harry Potter fandom. Most Harry Potter fans I know nowadays are actually chill people. The ones who make me cringe are the ones who have left because of Rowling Derangement Syndrome. They're annoying for a whole new reason now, but hey, most "Potterheads" now are just people who want to be left alone as they enjoy their thing. I can respect that. It's okay to like things as long as you aren't being a cringey twat about it.

Personally, Harry Potter isn't my most favorite thing ever or anything, but I do think it's fun, and it's a classic story of "good vs evil." It's easy to see how popular it got, in my opinion.

Btw, about a year and a half ago my husband and I decided to rewatch all of the HP movies. Prior to the rewatch, the last time I had seen any of the movies was literally when the last one came out to theaters in 2011.

I'm gonna be frank: The only movies I truly enjoyed upon the rewatch were the first two. The rest of them did not hold up whatsoever. And holy shit, Emma Watson is a terrible actress. I never thought she was particularly good, but the bad acting really stands out upon seeing the movies again after such a long time. She was a cute kid in the first two movies, so that worked for her ... But she got so much worse as she got older and the films progressed. The books hold up so much better than the movies do, and it isn't even close.

I will give the film universe some credit due to Alan Rickman. His interpretation of Snape was more of a troubled man than a spiteful bully. But yes, Watson or Wattson, whatever and however the fuck you spell her blasted name, became terrible as the movies progressed. In fact, the Prisoner of Azkaban was where it was more evident that she could not act to save her life. Part 1 and 2 were, and always will be, a stellar introduction into the books, because a lot of us still have some tender memories to look back on.

Pity the magic system is actually terrible once you try to make sense of it.
