vikingTON Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Quite the blubbering meltdown we've got on our hands this morning. Did anyone get a full house with the 'real world' gambit? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What damages his career is a potential gig in the future going to someone else because a studio is worried that he's got a bit of the transphobic bad PR about him. Obviously, that's a bit of a leap forward from today, but that's how PR planning works. You nip that stuff in the bud. He doesn't need JK Rowling anymore. But he needs good PR. You don't think there are people on JK's side it wouldn't be in his £$£ interests to alienate unnecessarily? This is all bollocks anyway, 95% of the movie going public won't even have heard about this or take an interest in the issue. It's manufactured nonsense on twitter, unless you're in the tiny trans minority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it certainly gets attention in the media in general if the Guardian runs a story saying he has failed to distance himself from her transphobic comments. We all know how the news works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Me IRL en route to the spiked offices for a spot of good faith debate with Brendan and the lads. Made the effort to read everything they've ever published and have taken an ice pick to the part of my brain that remembered why Spiked exists. I'm sure they're really keen on some free exchange in the marketplace of ideas and that isn't a cover for something more sinister which makes them an irrelevant source of anything 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am struggling to see how the story is in anyway related to the topic. Obviously that these woman are not able to get the treatment that they need is a disgrace and shows it the problem with mental treatment in this country, but doesn't tie in with the conversation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit for extra word Confirms my suspicion that you are weird Just to add, the article states 1 in 20 woman suffer from the problem meaning 19 out of 20 don't.
