UK MP holds up anime shut up terf meme because it's online abuse..
Not posting this to say your thread is redundant, as this is an article and that thread was just a video, but thought some of the responses in there were quite amusing.
I love how the older generation are so confused by the Internet.
Baffling the amount of Terfs in UK holding power, and how they keep lying to themselves by repeating "is a misogynistic attack" rather than realize they are a bunch of transphobes.
I don't know why, but seeing anime in something as official as Parliament is just so fucking funny to me. These old fucks are holding up a picture of a twin-tail zombie loli. It reminds me that the Internet isn't nearly as insular as it used to be.
terfs are disgusting and deserve every single bit of abuse hurled their way
She pretends like she doesn't know what a terf is. She can fuck off.
Still can’t help but laugh at one of the contributing factor for this being Sonicfox, a black, gay, furry who also happens to be one of the best FGC players every.
The old lady sitting next to her trying not to laugh at the printed out meme really is the icing on the cake
I only have one thing to say to these people.

Shut the fuck up TERF.
wonder what the creators of the show feel about this situation if theyre aware of it, imagine ur anime character becoming a symbol of anti terf activism all the way to the UK parliament

I think this really sums it up.
Grant Kirkhope was pretty okay with Donkey Kong becoming a trans rights icon.
That's a western VA/musician, most japanese anime artists arent aware of western social justice discourse i'd say
The character is trans, canonically, and with the sole exception of Blaire White-Supremacist, it's generally expected for trans people to be pro trans rights.
i'm talking about the artists making the anime, not the character
I still love how all of this spun out of Sonicfox saying a MK11 fatality is what he does to terfs. Reason being since the character who got rekt is voiced by a TERF wich kind of sucks.
Yeah, but they knowingly wrote a trans character. If they put any thought into that decision they probably would have realized that it would be seen as pro trans.
I read fucking hate the fact that terfs are going "oh no, people are actually telling me to fuck off? Time to make this about sexism" and it's working. I cannot believe that a hate group is successful pulling the same strat as a fucking middle schooler.
They have enough organisation on places like Twitter to mass report and get anyone critical of them banned. Even using the word TERF is sometimes enough to get a person banned.
Speaking of which...

So Transphobia is PC now? Damn, I guess political correctness really has gone too far...
People usually write t/erfs or something similar to avoid being targetted, they look up "terf" and mass report tweets.
But someone at twitter actually thought that was ban worthy, not even a single threat, just "leave me alone". holy fuck.
We can call 'em FART too.
(Feminism-Appropriating Reactionary Transphobe)
Then we can all watch as these pathetic, hateful people flip out even more for being called "old FARTs".
My partner, whomst is trans, was banned from twitter for a day for somthing almost identical.
Fuck me, this is infuriating as hell.
If Twitter had any sense, they'd be banning the transphobes instead regardless of whether they're male or female.
I just posted it to my twitter and I'm waiting to be banned.
They don't ban white supremacy because "it would be against freedom of speech" and "would get some politicians banned", why they would fight this? Hell, they still allow blind mass reports getting down an account no matter what, so feminists, trans and other minorities are very often targeted.
Same deal with Facebook and other social media sites.
Issue is the owner of the site. Consdering how pro right-wing he is. Leads to all kinds of problems including literal god damn nazis harassing people not being banned while anyone defending themselves from them is.
They probably just do shit all research on what's actually being discussed and literally just go with the thought process "feminism = good, feminist being criticised, therefore person criticism feminist = bad" without bothering to look up why. These kind of corporations are only ever superficially progressive, they don't actually give a shit and probably know shit all about these kinds of issues.
I've said for years that Feminists are absolutely terrible at managing their social groups. A lot of self-proclaimed feminists don't actually spend a lot of time scrutinising what their contemporaries say, just accepting that someone is a feminist if they claim to be. This has led to misandrists essentially getting a free pass to talk shit about men under the guise of feminism for years, and has allowed TERFs to spread the idea that trans women are actually men who are trying to delegitimise feminism.
Far too often I see people of a group (be it feminists, political parties, social groups) saying horrid shit and the people around them either ignore it or spend their time excusing it, either brushing it off or going "Well what they meant was..." which is just horse shit.
If you want to support the idea of equality between all people I say you should call out TERFs, racists, sexists, everyone who talks bollocks and doesn't get called out when they deserve it. It doesn't matter what you want to call yourself or what they call themselves, if you see someone talking shit they need to be called out. It's the only way to fight back against this shit.
