Please Do Not Sign This Petition If You Are Not A UK Citizen With A UK Valid Postcode. If You Are Not

Please do not sign this petition if you are not a UK citizen with a UK valid postcode. If you are not a UK citizen please only spread awareness. False votes will nullify the petition and we will have to start over.

Part of the reason petitions like the original are so dangerous is because they rapidly become a gateway to further bigotry and legislation. They will set a precedent that will be difficult to overturn. Prevention is always, always more effective.

this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning (27th January 2023), and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.

the hell? i’d say that’s relevant info lmfao 🤣

OP did not mention, at all, anywhere in their post or posts prior that their actual reason for calling out the user was because they're a known, real-life pedophile and a current danger with an accessible, public platform. They only mentioned it after I told them callout posts based on the proship-vs-antiship argument result in an influx of harassment.

"Block this user because they're proship" =/= "block this user because they're a known, real-life pedophile and an active danger."

OP made a callout post based on one thing, then in response to me telling them its a well-intentioned but bad idea, changed their entire basis of the callout.

I have no issue with bringing active pedophiles to public attention. My sole issue and the current nature of the discussion is the fact that OP said one thing, got offended I opposed it, then said something completely, vastly different to defend their original action.

Does that clarify the issue?

To make it clear; this account nor I support in any way JK Rowling, the Harry Potter franchise or any other franchises she's dipped her bigoted little toes in, however.

Some of you who are just making emotional rage posts with no sensical point, threats, no information or evidence, ect, are just doing more harm than good. And I don't mean the actual posts from trans and Jewish people expressing they're hurt. I mean the all caps 'I hope your family burns if you buy the game' kind of posts.

JK Rowling is wealthy, influential and self-assured. If we're going to have any impact at all on a woman who's experienced that amount of success in her life, its not going to be by screaming into the Tumblr void.

Email your local bookstores, chain stores, supply stores, ect and, with evidence, present to them why they should remove Harry Potter merchandise from their stores. If you're also doing so, you can inform them you will be staging peaceful protests, boycotts of their stores, ect. (I got two of my local chain stores to stop selling rawhide dog products this way. If you present the facts and the brutal reality of how damaging something can be for their profits and business, they tend to listen.)

Send letters and emails to your local libraries and book clubs and schools. The same as above; politely inform them of the facts and ask them to remove anti-semitic propaganda from their resources. Print out informative leaflets and ask to leave them at the desk or in waiting rooms.

People are still, no matter what, going to want to buy Harry Potter merchandise, so instead of buying from retailers and corporate producers, show them small businesses and independent artists! Not only are you supporting an individual person, but JKR won't get a single penny of that sale. Royalties? No Ma'am. Not in this house. JKR has openly bragged about her royalty cheques. A significant portion of those is merchandise and licensing.

Share the information, evidence and perspectives of the Jewish and trans people being impacted, profited off and ignored! Perhaps the most important part! If you're just claiming the lore and plots are antisemitic, show why! Share the voices of the people being harmed and ignored! Tumblr is actually great for that. There are a multitude of detailed, informative posts on here that need a louder voice. Link them. Share them. Send screenshots or cited copies to people.

And lastly, try to be patient and understanding when trying to help people see the facts and bigger picture. Not everyone will fully grasp the points and gravitas of it the first go around. They might not fully understand the points being presented, and that's okay. We've all seen a news headline and rolled our eyes and dismissed it as dramatic fearmongering only to later see more information and realize that, actually, it is a big issue.

(Actually also lastly is please don't resort to violence and death threats and harassment. It accomplishes nothing and will only be weaponised against the actual people and posts providing information, resources and activism. Don't give them a reason to ignore those posts and focus on mockery and spite.)

hi while idc abt all this antiship bs i do know that kodogender is knowingly dating an abuser and an actual rreal life pedophile who hurt multiple ppl v close to me. jsyk

But that wasn't the point of the call-out post, nor the information given. The post wasn't calling the user out for being a known pedophile or causing harm to people. In fact, there was actually no mention of that in the post or the tags. It was just another "ew icky proship" callout post which have been proven, time and time again, to be subject to extreme bias and encourage harassment.

no it literally doesn’t when the person in question is supporting a pedo??? get a grip lol why do u care more about being pro ship than anti pedophilia. telling

I think this is a definitive place to end the discussion. You're being deliberately obtuse to anything I'm saying, likely because you're offended I had the audacity to call you out in the first place. Which is understandable, but unfortunate. However I do stand by my point, as you stand by yours.

(To summarise, you made a proship callout, I said you shouldn't, you immediately switched up to saying you were warning people of something completely different to what you actually said, I'm resolute in saying that's not what you said in the first place, you're resolute in saying they're the same thing.)

Thank you though for providing a discussion I hope is enlightening upon reflection. I'm not sure if its day or night in your time, so have a pleasant one either way.

Harry Styles is a very good example of how a lot of you don't actually think its okay for LGBT+ people to not be neon-sign out and that men can't be feminine without absolutely having to be some form of queer.

You'll scream about how men can wear nail-polish without being gay and in the same breath you'll be pressuring a traumatised man to out himself because you think he shouldn't allowed to be feminine without confirming he's either gender-queer or sexuality-queer.

"But he's baiting people!"

He's literally just existing. He's living his life the way he wants to after he spent a decade being micro-controlled to the point that its permanently damaged his mental health, his relationship with himself and his identity and his relationship with the public as a famous person.

He doesn't owe you his sexuality. He just doesn't. Nobody, famous or otherwise, does. Not a single person in the world owes you that knowledge. Not your mother, not your dog, not your celebrity crush or the dude who serves your coffee.

Not a fucking soul.

He's just another example of how the queer community has come to make demands and shove tick-boxes at people and I physically can't express to you all how much of a backwards slide that is.

Edit: Since I received a very angry response to this, I should clarify; I mean this in context of regardless of Harry's identity. This post is not implying or stating he is queer or is not queer. The entire basis of this post is presenting the fact that the moment Harry Styles started expressing himself in a certain way, the general public and in large part the queer community immediately began accusing him of being queer and demanding a public confirmation. And that in many cases the arguments 'for' him being queer are based on how he expresses himself, which goes against the supposed support of freedom of expression and non-toxic masculinity that the queer community is supposed to have. To summarize: QC: Men can be feminine without being gay! Harry Styles: *presents himself effeminately without publicly confirming any sexuality or gender identity* QC: He's obviously gay! He's feminine! He should come out or stop dressing like that! Men in feminine clothing are baiting! He's probably trans!

Please also refer to the angry anon I received the other day for another example.
