If I had a dollar for every PS1 third-person bio/body horror game with pre-rendered backgrounds and a main character who was a cop, I'd have five dollars.

I could even get another dollar just by being more thorough.

As I expected, TERFs like Natasha Chart and Jeanna Hoch are going after Lierre Keith, Kara Dansky, WoLF and WDI-USA, citing the RCA article as evidence of their incompetence. Natasha Chart is the former board chair of WoLF who now opposes them largely because of how she was treated while she worked for WoLF. Jeanna Hoch is the TERF who maced high-schoolers at the TERF rally that took place in Tacoma in 2022. Afterwards she faced criticism from Lierre and Dansky and has been attacking them and their organizations ever since, specifically going after their policy of “non-violence direct action”. She’s in favor of TERFs using violence against trans people and counter-protesters, as well as using far-right groups, private security and/or police to protect TERF hate rallies.

Hoch and other TERFs in favor of violent tactics and collaboration with far-right groups are currently speaking out against the WDI-USA event in Portland, criticizing them for their “NVDA” and saying it would’ve been better if they’d had security and/or engaged in “self-defense”. They’re managing to sway some TERFs and turn them against WoLF and WDI-USA. A lot of TERFs wouldn’t attend a WoLF or WDI-USA rally because they know there will be no security and they’re afraid of “trantifa violence”. TERFs are cowards, so things like pies, silly strings and loud noises are enough to keep many of them off the streets.

Ironically, Lierre and Dansky helped pave the way for TERFs collaborating with the Right but now they’re not right-wing enough for a lot of TERFs and so they’re losing ground. To TERFs like Hoch they come off as foolish and weak for not using violence or having security at their rallies.

This is both good and bad. Good since it does mean that Lierre Keith, Kara Dansky and their organizations are losing status but bad since it means the more violent, openly far-right TERFs are gaining more power in the US TERF movement. At the same time, it might be easier to turn more people against TERFs if the more violent and overtly far-right ones become more visible. Despite what Hoch and her friends think, macing kids and hanging out with Proud Boys is a bad look.

Tweet by Natasha Chart reads Anyway, trans activists apparently already knew this yesterday end text link to Rose City Antifa article on WDI-USA’s Portland event. Reply by Jeanna Hoch reads Wow. WDI and WOLF look real stupid. It’s not like there’s a lot of people on their planning committees, and they still let in an op. Laughing emoji. Smart of them to cut out so many women like me while letting Trantifa in. Laughing crying emoji end text screenshot of paragraph from Rose City Antifa article. A high-lighted section reads The WDI-USA and WoLF coordinators envision this event as an opportunity to publicly play the role of peaceful, defenseless women’s rights activists violently attacked by “trantifa” (the derogatory word they use to refer to their counterprotesters). Knowing that their presence will attract counterprotesters, they hope that keeping the content of their speeches absent of the most overt transphobia will, in the words of event coordinator Irene

Dear 3rd party game dealers:

Please stop putting Hogwarts Legacy on your front pages. The day I buy that will be the day it actually somehow magically takes money from JKR. And even then, it would cost so much to render her destitute as she so well deserves that it's not even worth bothering.

Or, put another way: the more I see Hogwarts Legacy on your page, the more likely I am to fuck right off elsewhere. Pick a game that's not sixteen flavours of horrible. You have this Batman stuff right there. That's not bad!

@theogrin I have yet to set foot in Charmed Aroma in my neighborhood mall as they have kept a Harry Potter standie in their window display for the past three years. As for Hogwarts Legacy, if I want to play a game in an immersive world Red Dead Redemption has me covered and actually has replay value.

@theogrin meh I go to lush instead. The staff is queerer than I am and actually gifted me a bar of soap for supplying a drag storytime counter protest with megaphones to drown out the haters.

95% of podcast and youtube sponsors be like:

  • Subscription for thing that does not need to be a subscription
  • Gig app for thing that should never have been a gig app
  • One specific item being sold over the internet instead of in a store being billed as some revolutionary disruption of the market
  • Audible

I am overjoyed to see antifascists do a write-up about one of the main US TERF groups. I know from my past in the radfem/TERF movement that these people are dangerous abusive authoritarians who are serious about eliminating trans people but it’s sometimes been a struggle to get people to take them seriously. Antifascists are among the groups that do see and understand the threat. Over the last few years it’s been great seeing more and more antifascists resisting and organizing against TERFs, including meeting them in the streets. I fucking love it! Good luck to everyone in Portland in taking down the TERFs tomorrow!

@reclaimingtrans @theogrin could have sworn WoLF was Lierre Keith's project. I knew her and Derrick Jensen leaned towards anarcho primitivism with Deep Green Resistance, but seeing them pal around with the same people who called them enviro-nuts a decade ago is a tripm

MarchViolet,
@MarchViolet@kolektiva.social avatar

@theogrin @reclaimingtrans in the late zeros they pretty much had us leftie environmentalist types convinced they were on our side. Heck my shop even hosted events promoting Jensen's books and films back then. Needless to say that friendship ended when they came out as terfs. Aric McBay is the only original member of DGR I still have any respect for.

Fair warning. This account can and will self destruct if I find my posts have been screen capped and are being shared virally on Facebook and I start getting old people from High School or whatever messaging me about it. I don't need that kind of noise in my life...
