A Statement On Recent Twitter Activity

Posted in Uncategorized

Because Twitter has locked my account for encouraging self-harm, I have to make this statement here. The “self-harm” I encouraged was telling an abusive person to “breathe water” after he suggested I “stop breathing.” Why would I do such a thing?

Last night, I said some inflammatory but true things about the NRA. I said they were a terrorist organization responsible for every single mass shooting in the United States.

You heard me. True. That is a true statement.

After a few hundred responses calling me a fat cunt and advising me to die, I tweeted that we should melt down all the guns in the country and drown all NRA members and Trump supporters in the vat of molten metal.

Those who follow me on social media know that this is very on-brand.

I also stated that I didn’t care if Trump voters and NRA members lived or died. This is only a partially true statement, as I was directly addressing the people who were sending abusive tweets. But alt-right troll Jack Probesiec isolated that tweet and broadcast it to his hundreds of thousands of followers. Including other alt-right trolls including Curt Schlitter, Ian Miles Cheong, Joe Walsh, and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch’s husband, whose name I can’t remember because he’s not as important as his wife. There were others with large followings, as well, who decried my “death threat” tweet.

Because to these fools, not caring deeply about their lives and their right to own as many shooty-go-bang-bangs as they can stockpile in their arsenal is a direct death threat. And they responded with:

  • Various comments about my weight, mental health, sexual orientation, and religion/culture because several of them were convinced that I’m Jewish
  • GIFs and photos of fat people they find to be abhorrent and grotesque
  • Remarks about “Arabs,” “Muslims,” “immigrants,” “jihad,” “Asians,” “Koreans,” and “gang bangers”
  • Comparisons of African-Americans to chimpanzees
  • Allegations that I’m fatherless…which is true but not really my fault unless you lack critical thinking skills
  • Detailed fantasies about how they’ll watch me or my children being raped and do nothing
  • Pity for my “cuck” husband, who is forced to be with me
  • Various fish-related insults that probably felt very clever at the time
  • Demands that I come to their house and try to take their guns, that I meet them in person, and one person even posted their own home address
  • My home address, former name, the names of some of my relatives and even the place of my husband’s employment

Some of them were, ironically, mocking my “large hands”. Considering it’s coming from the Trump crowd, who defend him and his bigly, bigly yuge hands all the time, this seems like a weird criticism. Also weird? The guy who tried to roast me by saying that I can’t give my dad an erection.

How widespread is this? Well, according to Twitter analytics, in the months of March, February, and January I averaged around four million “impressions” per month.

I’ve also averaged four million “impressions” this month. Which is…four days old.

At one point last night, I had blocked 200 people, only to scroll up and find 809 notifications waiting for me.

Not all of the tweets were abusive. A lot of people are “sad” for me. Or they’re praying for me and hoping Christ will come into my heart and tell me to put down the donuts. Many of them were simply telling me how much they don’t care about my opinion. Thousands of people don’t care so much that they had to flood my Twitter mentions, message me on Facebook, find any public Facebook post I’ve ever made, and track down my husband to make sure that we all know they do not care.

And gosh. All of this has just worn me down, right to the ground. And I want to apologize. Because I’m very, very sorry.

I’m sorry so many of you were in the Armed Forces. You should not have been representing our country abroad. I do not thank you for your service, despite the several of you that demanded I do so.

I’m sorry that you feel the best way to communicate your ideas is through sloppy memes of Hillary Clinton.

I’m sorry that one of you has an Abraham Lincoln parody account but can’t appreciate the irony in using it to defend guns.

I’m sorry that so many of you don’t have mirrors in your homes and don’t understand that a fat person calling another fat person fat isn’t the devastating insult you think it is.

I’m sorry that your mom’s abortion didn’t take.

I’m sorry that so many conservative women have figured out how to bleach their hair with drugstore products, but don’t know how to follow it up with toner or conditioner.

I’m sorry that MAGAs uniformly don’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re,” and it’s unfortunate that they mix those up while calling people ignorant, idiots, stupid, and uneducated.

But most of all, I’m sorry that you think that because I said I don’t care about you or your right to own your toys, I should be afraid of you. I am not afraid of you. I will never be afraid of you. Because if you need to own sixty guns, you’re a coward. If you need to assert how tough and manly and violent you are, you’re afraid. Because your fear bleeds through every one of your pathetic, uninspired, unimaginative words. You call for civil war, violent revolution, rising up, and then the moment there’s a mass shooting, you move fast to avoid being blamed for it. You’re pretty shitty terrorists if you won’t own these attacks. Even Al-Qaeda took credit for shit they didn’t do.

So, do what you’re going to do. You’re already contacting Amazon (who will obviously be very eager to help Trump supporters right now, I’m sure they’ll get right on that), companies who published my books a decade ago and with whom I’ve burned my own bridges, thanks, people I work with (who are fully aware of who I am and what I represent), and whatever other institution you think is going to come along and spank me for being mean to you about your boomsticks.

You don’t matter. You’ll never matter. You know you don’t matter. And that’s why you need a controversial object in your home to reassure you that somehow, someday, you might be able to prove your worth in a fantasy home invasion or public shoot-out. Continue stockpiling all your unnecessary accessories to make your Great Value rifles look like the video game version of a useful tactical weapon. Because at the end of the day, no matter how you threaten, no matter what you lob at me, I still walk away without the blood of murdered children on my hands.

You can’t say the same for yourself.

    I’m not American, so my thoughts and opinions on gun-related matters are, at this point, rather academic.

    But can someone explain to me WHY, in every European country I’ve been to and/or whose news I follow, including the place I currently live, conditioner seems to be anathema to right-wing women? The sole exception are those few 20-year old Aryan goddesses who function as some sort of fascist sexpots. Everyone else? Literal hay looks better nourished and moisturised. Is there a hair-care pledge you’re required to take right after you’ve sworn to defend white/Christian/sovereign/national* rights? Or is shiny hair somehow satanist/communist/feminist/vegan*, and no-one told me?

    *whichever applies

      Eh, I don’t know if it’s so much that they skip the conditioner as that bleaching your hair blond is going to wreck it, especially if you want to wear it long and straighten it every day, no matter what your political views are.
      I imagine that the far-right-leaning ladies idealise blond youthfulness and so pursue that look to the detriment of their shiny locks.
      I write this as a screaming liberal who has, not that long ago, had to go a lot darker and shorter to maintain the condition of my hair and I don’t even heat treat unless I’m going somewhere fancy.

        It’s a pettiness I have no shame in indulging. Yeah, appearance doesn’t matter in terms of your character, and we should never imply it does. That said, it’s fun to take a potshot at the appearance of a hateful, shallow asshole.

        Commenting that a fascist’s hair is terrible is harmless. It’s a way to laugh off a person who literally wants you to be dead. Not figuratively-literally. Literally. As in, they go over fantasies of your death in bizarre detail.

        So yes, we can laugh at their hair. We have some moral high ground to spare.

        Less a generalization and more a legitimate question on why this seems to be an observable trend.

        There’s also the fact that making fun of someone’s hair isn’t anywhere near as problematic as making fun of someone’s weight or skin color. Bleaching your hair is something you choose to do. Being petty and making fun of that choice is, well, petty, but it’s not ableist or fat-shaming or any of the things that routinely discriminate against a marginalized group. Unless the person you’re making fun of legitimately can’t afford conditioner, in which case that’s a different story.

            I’d say that’s offensive to disgruntled teenagers. Teenagers are typically more articulate and can form cohesive statements better. At the very least, most of them are able to walk away from conversations where they’re clearly not benefiting by responding (I was one of those obstinate types who could never let anything go, but I was an exception).

The cats out of the bag. You do not have the manpower, infrastructure or will power to accomplish disarming the public of firearms you find scary.

          If you really cared youd support putting in place thendwme security measures for our kids that we do in every other place we don’t want people victimized.

            I guess the GOP is just really committed to destroying families any way they can. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            The security measures I would like to put in place to protect children involve reducing the number of dangerous weapons on the street but for some reason we call that “exploiting dead kids” now.

    … “I don’t care if X people live or die” is a very different statement from “everybody in X group should go die”, but I guess it doesn’t make a difference to people who care more about harassing others than common sense.

    Ugh… Okay so, we have the right to own guns, as long as we know how to use them responsibly and there isn’t a chance that we will use them irresponsibly. That’s literally all gun control means. I don’t know why people are getting so butthurt about it. People who can’t prove they know how to drive safely aren’t allowed to have cars, and those fuckers aren’t even made to use as weapons.

    ???even if you were Jewish, who cares? Is this, like, the Eric Cartman school of insults? Also. Comments about your weight, ethnicity, health (mental or otherwise), religion, etc. are all ad hominem fallacies and, while I know it must have been really overwhelming for you to see all that shit, it’s just rubbish because they can’t refute your actual points using real logic.

    The racial comments were completely off-topic, I can’t even with their unlogic.

    Hello yes, right-wing dickspadoodles, please don’t encourage the rape of children, or any other people. I feel like they’re competing to see who can be the most childish, like,
    Jenny: I do not experience enthusiasm for the lives of gun nuts.
    Trolls: oh YEAH well WE don’t care if you or your kids get RAPED so THERE.

    Gee I missed the part of marriage where you’re not legally allowed to leave if it isn’t working for you.

    Ah yes, the “say it to my face” bullshit, which is actually a veiled threat because they can use the shooty bang on you if you show up. But it’s not even like you’re actively trying to remove guns from their home? You’re just venting on the internet?

    Oh dear. I’m sorry you were doxxed, and I hope nothing bad happens to you or your family as a result.

    BIG HANDS TYPE GOOD
    also ew??? You’re not supposed to arouse/be aroused by family members? And as you pointed out yourself, lol what dad?

    Jesus doesn’t care how many doughnuts you eat. I’m pretty sure he’s got more important things to worry about.

    “I’m sorry that your mom’s abortion didn’t take” is my favorite so far.

    *Touches hair self-consciously* …I forgot condition day, thanks for reminding me.

    By the way, if you ever need an alt Twitter or what have you, I’m sure I’ve got an extra one lying around I haven’t used for a while. You’d just need to take off my info, but you’re welcome to it XD

      RE: The Jewish thing – The trolls and alt-righters are convinced that Globalists (translation: Jewish People/”Zionists”) are controlling politics/the media/the world. A lot of alt-righters’ perceived persecution (the war on Christmas, globalization, climate change, economic inequality, religious persecution, Gun control) is the fault ‘Globalists’ (i.e. Jewish People)

      It really doesn’t matter if you’re *actually* Jewish. The idea is that if you believe anything alt-righters don’t, then you’ve been corrupted by the ‘Globalists’ and you’re basically a Jewish shill.

      Army brat here, it’s not just the manly feel–I think it’s partly a combination of misremembering the past (like, the American Revolution/War of Independence–which we all grew up being told that it was totally awesome and we all achieved ‘independence’ thanks to our right to bear arms), being told by Hollywood and multiple elementary school teachers how we ‘saved Europe’ during WWII (again, thanks to guns), plus multiple groups like the NRA telling us how important it is to ‘protect ourselves’ while being ‘self-reliant survivors like REAL AMERICANS SHOULD BE’.

      Remember how the character Donald Draper (from Mad Men) stated that advertisements feed customers the ‘fear’ of not having a certain product/lifestyle? I’ve seen a few NRA propaganda pieces (and a few websites of alt-right and ‘survival group’ nutjobs), and they definitely do the same when it comes to weapons and gun training. The sad part is that groups like the NRA have a lot of financial motive into encouraging people into overreacting Rambo wannabes, and have so much political power that it would be very difficult for our government to demand reform from them.

      Are you insinuating her father’s sperm? Because it would neither be apart of her nor would it be her. And if you’re insinuating menstruation, then she wouldn’t exist for you to insult her?

    It saddens me to see the same tripe today. A good nights rest did nothing to tame the anger or bitterness I see. I won’t address each paragraph. That would take hours. Insert huge sigh here. FYI kiddies, twitter yanked my crayons as well and no one puts baby in the corner! Matters not. In the end I said things that I should not have said. Even if they were true in my world. The same goes for you Jenny. The mom abortion thing? Probably should keep that under wraps. Highly offensive and will only cement in some minds how completely unhinged you are. No need to fuel that fire. I’m not here to sling mud or font box with any of you. I wish no harm to any of you even with all your hate directed at me, I still wish only that you find what you seek. And it brings you the peace you need and deserve.

        I was about to say. How is “how completely unhinged you are” or “anger or bitterness” not mudslinging? You can’t claim not to be doing something right after having done it two sentences ago. Try to have some continuity in your statements.

            ‘Go eat shit.’

            One question, Jeremy: Does that ever work for you? Like, ever? Did you once tell that somebody in fourth period and they immediately reacted by eating shit?

            Also, whether or not she ‘started’ the argument doesn’t make her points less than right. You mouthed off 24 times already, and said nothing that proved her wrong except going on, and on, and on about her weight and looks.

            In case your reading comprehension hasn’t caught up with your mental age–she wasn’t talking about her weight. She’s talking about the Ehn Arr AAAAAAAe. Let me know if you need me to draw you a picture, honey.

    Ugh. Jenny I am so sorry. You have brought me so much joy over one of the worst years of my life. Your JHBC blog and your books (first romance novels I ever read) are my wholesome guilty pleasure. It just kills me that people who produce nothing, who contribute nothing, are attacking you. You’re absolutely right. The NRA is a terrorist organization plain and simple. They’re no different from the anti-democratic extremists whose weapon hoarding and propaganda brought about massacres in Peru, Thailand or Rwanda.

Do you not realize that the mindset this grotesque blob has is the exact one that has led many a society to stand idly by and watch genocide occur?

          And your sick ass thinks that is a virtue?

            In both of my comments made , you may notice that I never once cheered for or supported what Jenny said earlier .
            And why is that ?
            Because I didn’t agree with her either .
            I have no problem with people defending themselves if – and ONLY if – they are being physically assaulted and/or defending their loved ones . Using a gun to protect yourself if someone breaks into your home and tries to kill you is fine . Somebody taking a gun into a school or other crowded public area and randomly start shooting because they have anger issues or depression , etc , is NOT .
            I was the kid in school that got ‘ picked on ‘ and there were multiple times I could have ‘ snapped ‘ and brought a weapon with me , ending lives .
            But I didn’t want to and I never did because that wouldn’t have made things better , just worse .
            And what I’m about to say might surprise some people .
            I DON’T want everybody’s guns taken from them .
            Most people deserve the right to carry them and several others absolutely do NOT .
            I’m perfectly cool with people owning guns if they’re responsible using them . It’s never bothered me before . ( Which you think that it WOULD considering my father was killed by a gunshot that blew his skull open RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I WAS A YOUNG CHILD . )
            My elementary school books had to be thrown away because his BRAINS and SKULL FRAGMENTS were splattered all over them .
            ( Okay , deep breath , relax , relax . )
            I COULD make pissed off angry comments like many on this board , hating ALL guns and gun owners .
            But I won’t . I never will . I’ll respect others rights , beliefs and opinions as long as no harm of any kind is being done . ( Although I have noted that not everyone is being as mature and courteous as they could be . )

            I was upset by the posts about violence being done to CHILDREN because ALL children are babies , innocent beings that should be cared for and loved .
            No adult – and yes , this includes Jenny – can say that they want to see children harmed and killed without those comments making me mad .
            Adults want to throw insults at each other , go ahead . I’ve been cursed at already simply for stating my opinion and beliefs which weren’t agreed with by everyone else .
            But children should be OFF LIMITS , okay ?
            Can we at least be sensible and agree to that ?

        Stop being obtuse. Dumbfuck.

        Look, your Godzilla sized lardassed hero shouldn’t be surprised that she got these kind of responses after what she tweeted. She’s clearly active on that platform and ought to know what that can entail. Don’t pick a fight then play victim. That’s weak. The sense of righteousness she displays after making the kind of comments she did come across as sociopathic too. I notice tendency alot from people on the left. It’s the dehumanization of others they see as political opponents. And while this wretched creature isn’t really a threat, let’s be real here – she’s just an angry 400 lb sociopathic whale that writes shitty books, others aren’t as harmless, especially if in positions of power. History has proven that time and time again.

        So we will keep our guns. We will keep them because fat assed Pol Pot wanna-bes like her exist. And human nature and it’s tribalism can be very dangerous.

          It is interesting that you think tribalism can be very dangerous. While Jenny’s I difference to you was not a very nice thing to say, I can see why she said it after hours of harassment. Those hours came from a dangerous tribalism mindset. That mindset is now carrying over on to her blog by yourself and others. You (and others) aren’t adding anything to the conversation other then insults and some vague threats. If that isn’t dangerous tribalism, then I am not sure what is. I guess because as you mentioned I am a “dumbfuck”, by the way that should be dumb fuck.

          Anyway, I am guessing if you reply back it will be laced with with some profanity laced insult lacking substance.

            I’ve made this point clearly in other comments: indifference is the open door evil walks through to do what it wants. And while I don’t *care* on an individual level about this one person, this mindset is absolutely dangerous. And I think you share it as well.

            Saying you don’t like the NRA, guns, or ultra-conservative groups or Nazi ideologies doesn’t make a person a sociopath. As far as I know from her twitter, Jenny is a liberal and she has liberal views and she’s blunt and funny. You could almost assume she doesn’t like these things.

            Saying that you don’t care about x group in a fit of angry doesn’t make you a sociopath.
            Everyone has been frustrated before. Maybe even some of these horrible comments spring from that kind of frustration.

            But, at the end of the day, she didn’t say that someone’s children should be taken away or raped or murdered. She hasn’t suggested that, at some point in the future, she’s going to need her stockpile of weapons to kill fellow Americans.

            Was this person high or is this an actual sentence typed by someone sober? What does this even mean? “like tons of fun”? Do tons of fun defend themselves from “socioaths”? Do you have to for the sake of tons of fun? Whaaaat?

            Not knowing how to spell “sociopaths” is one thing, even if sociopaths isn’t a legitimate diagnosis anymore and the entire psychological community has moved on from their outdated models; not even being able to form a coherent sentence? Is this meant to be an insult? A threat? A promise to have tons of fun at your next birthday party, probably your third given your maturity level?

          Dude, you are a laughingstock. You wouldn’t know how to defend yourself even if you had an M2.50.

          People like you are why we have TONS of ASVAB flunkies on base. I live in an airforce base in England (had been for 9 years now), and do you know how many idiotic, die-hard recruits I had to meet that get stuck on guard duty because they fucking failed aptitude and judgement tests? I even met one asshole who turned out to have been LYING to his mom about fighting in Iraq, despite that he only did 3 years in Bahrain and was nowhere near ANY action (and oh yeah, he pulled a lot of bullshit stories on how many ‘terrorists’ he captured–until my husband pointed out that he worked in the network servers in the same country and there was nothing ‘exciting’ going on there).

          Oh, and the kicker? We think the States absolutely needs to fucking organise themselves about guns and gun use. We’re around people EVERY DAY that should not be trusted around guns (and weirdly, they’re always ALWAYS the ones that WANT to get in the action), and we notice how other countries have a lot more different views on what it means to ‘defend’ themselves against tyranny and invasion.

          Take Switzerland for example. It’s one of the few countries that had more guns per person in Europe. Why? Partly because they have mandatory military service for people aged 18 and over, and partly because since the Cold War, Switzerland was worried of Russian invasion since at least the 1960s.

          The only difference between the Swiss and the ‘States is that Switzerland ALLOWS people to carry and own guns–but they must have a special permit and a SPOTLESS criminal record (plus they must be psychiatrically qualified to even have a gun), the latter which isn’t a requirement in the ‘States. They are also banned from keeping ammo at home (we asked about it, and it turned out there’s a special reason for this: You’re expected to pick up your ammo from your local arsenal/ military base whenever you need it–because if something DOES happen, you’re supposed to get into town, get your loved ones evacuated, get briefed on what’s going on, and get assigned to defend a certain location with people who you may have trained with/been trained by.

          Switzerland believes, that if worst comes to worst, in ORGANISED defense. They don’t believe in ‘Rambo’ wannabes (basically think of it like this: It’s like when your friends go paintballing–except you turn up late, don’t go through the first briefing with your friends, don’t even know where you’re supposed to be, and now you’re in the goddamn way getting shot at or shooting people on your own side).

          That’s why I think Jenny’s argument is valid. There ARE a lot of people who don’t deserve and should NEVER be defenders of our country–and there is a stupid mentality that we’re somehow in constant danger of ‘The Enemy’ while cops and members of the government royally fuck with vulnerable people back home (oh, and the NRA DOES contribute to a lot of fear-mongering and terrifying people into buying more of their shit). You want to be a fucking soldier so bad? Fucking enlist, and I’ll bet my left tit that you’re gonna sit through a never-ending 6-month cycle of guard duty (or trash-picking if you’re any dumber)–before harassing some old lady because her ID is expired by 2 weeks and then getting yourself breech-loaded because she’s the base commander’s mom.

      So you’re saying that you would shoot human beings that disagree with you? That’s quite an extreme reaction to disagreement. I don’t agree with a lot of folks, but I sure don’t think that’s a reason to kill them.

          So, I assume you’d take up arms against a tyrannical government if it started to act against American Muslims or POC or homosexuals? Or is this only if they try to take away what you consider are your 2nd Amendment rights?

          So many groups of Americans are fighting within the system, with only their words, for basic human rights.

          No one is hunting you. No one is hurting you. No one is planning a genocide of gun owners. If the worst thing you stand to lose is your guns, you are living a charmed life. Try to enjoy it.

          Bullshit you would. Otherwise you would’ve been out there harassing neo-nazis online than a mom/writer using HER freedom of speech to express her opinion.

          You strike me as the kind of ass who would’ve looked the other way when the National Guard shot those Kent State students back in the 1970s.

          You strike me as the kind of douche who would’ve called the Wall Street protestors ‘jobless losers’ for getting sprayed with mace by a fully-armored cop.

          Newsflash: Tyranny starts when people WITH power start going after vulnerable members of society. It’s been that way with 1940s Germany, 1950s China, Cambodia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and hell, 1950s-60s Spain. Why the fuck did you think tyrannical regimes often get away with such shenanigans for years? Because they first went after the ‘easy’ prey–people that could be handwaved away as just being ‘criminals’, ‘traitors’, ‘lazy’, or ‘parasites’. So that everyone else wouldn’t be up in arms about it, and wind up desensitized to escalating violence and EVEN get convinced that as long as THEY’RE no being targetted–then everything else is fair game.

          Oh, and by the way–since you’re talking about ‘genocidal governments’, I assume you’re oh so prepared for potential poisoning by mustard gas? Hydrogen bombs? Radiation poisoning? Weaponised drones that drop bombs from 3,000 meters in the air (and can’t be shot down with your cute little rifle)? Because I think you should first have a nice talk with the rebel forces from Syria, and ask THEM how their guns are making any difference when they’re being starved out and bombed to pieces right now (or better yet, the Kurds from Iraq–which were gassed in masse to save the soldiers’ bullets. Or you can also talk to the Bosnians and Albanians–who were shot at with grenade launchers by the Serbs when all that they had were using were regular shotguns).

            Yup, it’s like they’re 70 years behind the rest of the world. They’re acting like the current government (or any other government) don’t have their own stockpile of nerve gases and napalm (hell, check out this fascinating thing: “”Study of the Vulnerability of Subway Passengers in New York City to Covert Attack with Biological Agents”–it’s a real study supported by the government during the 1960s, to check if anyone could use something like anthrax as a weapon to infect an entire subway system of people in New York. It’s absolutely fascinating and VERY unsettling).

            Funny enough, I took my kids earlier to the Imperial War Museum during spring break. We went because this year’s gonna be the 100th-year anniversary of when WWI ended (and we wanted to check out the awesome hologram displays). Guess what’s prominently on display? Lots of spooky information of chlorine gas (specifically how it killed people, could shrink leather, turn buttons dark-green/black, and even stop watches). Even a 100 years ago, countries had weapons that even made guns useless against them.

      But seriously, man. Your hope that someone kills children that have done nothing to you doesn’t say one thing about Jenny, but it sure says a lot about you. It says that for all your shouting and insults, for all your big talk and chest-pounding, you’re a scared little dude. If you believe so strongly that you can’t protect yourself without your guns, and someone is anti-gun, instead of having a productive conversation you panic and lash out, feeling as though you are backed into a corner.

      It’s scary to feel like you can’t take care of yourself. It must be doubly terrifying to know you can’t take care of yourself without a weapon of war. But maybe try therapy instead of wishing death on innocent children.

    I seem to remember a certain German dictator having the same disregard for human life based on a religious and political belief. He killed millions and is regarded as one of the worst humans in history.

    You see Jenny, I am a white female, born in Ohio, lives in the south. I’m about 15 pounds over weight, with blonde hair, an education from a prominent private catholic college and the respect and intelligence enough for myself to never be so stupid on twitter. But here you are condemning the physical traits of woman as well as their political views on a social media app and THEN commence to whine and cry and need a safe space, calming Hungarian pipe organ music and sympathy because you started a fight you couldn’t finish.

    Now I could careless about your weight, it’s your life. I could careless about what pisses you off or what amendments you desire to erase from our founding countries documents; what hurts your feelings or why you hate guns. BUT what I do care about is the fact that YOU made a statement that said you could careless if I WAS DEAD!! Yes Me! You didn’t say “I wouldn’t care if these asshole on twitter who don’t agree with me we’re dead,” because that doesn’t include me, or my family, or my friends… but you made a blanket statement, a blanket disregard for everyone not like you. You’re are disgusting for that.

    You and you’re warrior thumbs behind the baby-blue bird are actually what’s wrong with this country. My gun in my closet does nothing to you, but you arm yourself with the first amendment and exploit it without the thought of consequences because it’s your first amendment right. I arm myself with my 2nd amendment right knowing full well of the consequences behind the use of this right.

    You should actually take some pointers from those of us who actually respect our constitution.

      You might wanna get a refund on that shiny catholic school education for not teaching you how to write. Seriously, just send over a copy of this little speech of yours and demand an explanation for the subpar education. I mean, those schools aren’t cheap!

      I’ll give you a few tips for free because, well, I feel bad for how much of an ass you just made of yourself. Let’s start with a simple one, you are saying “careless” when you really mean “care less.” I know they look super similar, but trust me they have different meanings. You made this mistake several times, so I don’t think you could claim it as a typo. Plus, I expect a graduate from a prominent catholic school to not be careless (this is the right usage for the word, by the way) about typos.

      Now that we got that simple thing out of the way, let’s go for something a bit more complex (hope you can keep up here). When you say, “I could care less about your weight…”, you are actually saying that you do in fact care about her weight. In fact, you imply that you care so much about her weight that you could afford to care less about it. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that this is not what you meant (given the context of your message). In fact, this was so far off your original intent that it is pretty comical. What you mean to say is, “I couldn’t care less about your weight” (which means that you care so little about it that there is no possible way for you to care any less).

      Now, run along to your alma mater and demand some answers!! You wouldn’t want to come across as an ignorant person on the internet now would you?

        And for what it is worth, I am in a similar place as The Cactus and Flamingo. I didn’t think what Jenny said about not caring about people’s lives to be productive or having added anything to the discussion. While I can completely understand how she got to that point, I thought it was the wrong way to go about everything. Then again, I haven’t been witness to hours of disgusting personal attack and threat to my family or myself, so what do I know. I found it more horrifying is that her words were taken somewhat out of context (by removing all the nonsense that happened before the statement) just so that digital lynch mob could get their rocks off.

        Anyway, there is the sage wisdom I like to live by, the best way to annoy a someone on the internet is to point out the difference between on and in and then sit back and watch hours of ranting.

      1st wold country is an antiquated term left over from the cold war. It is meaningless in today’s lexicon. I assume you mean developed and undeveloped countries. If understanding correctly, then America falls behind most developed nations treat gun control legislation, so I am not sure how this counts as an advancement.

      And speaking of human ugliness the inability to compromise when children are being murdered is not shining a light on your self-implied brave and righteous spirit. Neither is ganging up on someone and implying a threat to their lives and calling them names. If you do not like Jenny’s words or tactics that is fair. But to rally behind this kind of response is didactic at best and incendiary at worst. For someone who likes to bring up totalitarianism as a justification for legal uncheck gun ownership these actions and words imply you are the fascists all these “dumbfucks” and fatties need to be protected against…

        Most the gun crime comes from your voting base anyways. It’s not NRA members turning your deep blue urban areas into shooting galleries. It’s your vote fodder and your garbage policies that have done that.

    Perhaps we should just make murder illegal. And to make sure that people get the message… Let’s make schools a gun-free zone. That way no one will get hurt.

    Of course, if it’s really that important to you that we eliminate the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, then so be it. However, you would then be unable to opine against the social ills that disturb you.

    By the way, for those who blame the NRA for these acts of violence… How many NRA members have been mass shooters?

      Honey, Jenny argued that people should AMEND the 2nd AMENDment.

      And since you’ve mentioned the constitution and bill of rights–do you honest-to-god think that our Founding Fathers would’ve been happy to see civilians armed to the teeth with multi-round weapons–when they were scared shitless about giving the average working man the vote because of potentiality of ‘mob rule’?

      Look up the American history of universal male suffrage if you don’t believe me.

      She never even said that the NRA are mass-shooters. She called them terrorists (‘a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.’). NRA DOES try to scare people into buying more guns and taking part in their conventions/programs–and they won’t EVER admit that their training programs are sub-par, let alone unbiasedly inspected on whether or not they’re effective in training people with gun use or defense.

      I see new soldiers every year that don’t understand that owning a gun (and knowing how to use one) doesn’t mean that you’re an effective soldier that could keep your troops safe (or civilians). They just want the glory and battle and don’t even think about the consequences of getting themselves or their friends killed.

Wanting to kill people for having an opinion that differs with your own … that’s fascism, isn’t it?! Wait, let me go look that up …

          Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

    As a European person I can say these comments are exactly what makes the rest of the world shake their heads in disbelief. Most of these people seem to be genuine psychopaths, and I wish authorities would look them up since they are clearly a threat to society.

    I live in a country with very strict gun contol, and nobody here ever worries about being shot or needing a gun to defend themselves. The kids go to school without parents having to worry about buying bullet proof vests or having to buy clear backpacks. You guys say you live in the home of the brave, but so many of you live in fear and only feel safer if you have weapons within reach. I am not even sure America can still be called a developed country if you have to arm your teachers. And what is the obsession with the constitution? So many countries have one, and yet nobody mentions it as much as Americans do.

    Stay strong Jenny, these are seriously messed up people creating these posts. There is no reasoning with them, and I don’t even think they really care about any of the issues you pointed out. They just want a reason to spew hate and threaten people (including kids), so they can have a moment of feeling powerful and strong (which is of course an illusion). They are unhappy, unbalanced, and would probably be pitied if they didn’t lash out like this.

      American here. I believe the gun obsession is an aspect of the last gasp of white male supremacy. They know the edifice of entitlements they’ve enjoyed for centuries is crumbling under their feet, and they’re desperate to retain their position at the top of the cultural hierarchy. And a lot of them have deluded themselves that stockpiling as many guns as possible will help them cling onto that false sense of superiority, as though a handful of yahoo crackers with semi-automatics would stand a snowball’s chance in hell against the American military. If our government declared martial law tomorrow, most of the keyboard warriors howling about defending themselves against tyranny would be holed up in their mobile homes shitting their pants because it turns out a handful of private citizens in camo pants brandishing deer rifles are no match for men and women who’ve been trained to shoot to kill for a living.

      Totally with you, Some Love. I’m from Australia, which, after the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 initiated the gun buy-back scheme and tightened its laws so that only military personnel are allowed to use the types of weapons Martin Bryant used to kill 35 innocent people (including a 3 and 6 year old). I’m not saying anything like that would work in the US, I think they’re far beyond that, but at the very least, trying to ensure that people with psychiatric issues don’t get hold of rapid-fire weapons should be a goal. I also totally agree with you about the US’s obsession with their constitution. It’s bizarre to me that an amendment written during America’s federation, dealing with the civil war and the types of arms used back then, should be relevant now. Methinks their constitution needs a bit of an update.

      Regarding the obsession with the US Constitution (from a purely theoretical perspective): there are several theories of Constitutional interpretation. The one that 2nd Amendment defenders often refer to is Constitutional Originalism. The idea is that the Constitution was drafted with the intent that it would be able to stand the test of time – that it was just detailed enough to give specific guidance but also just vague enough to be applicable under changing societal norms – and so we need go no further than the original document.

      Under Originalism there are sub-theories of interpretation. Textualists say you should rely on the direct text (good luck doing that with the 2nd Amendment – the text is a total mess). Intentionalists say you should focus on the intent of the drafters (which is an obviously flawed system when we are talking about people who lived and died two hundred years ago – we have to rely on meeting minutes and other writings from the drafters to infer intent, many of which are internally contradictory).

      Either way – the reality is that the amendment was passed at a time when people were still loading individual bullets into muskets that had terrible range and accuracy. How one could apply the actual words to, or infer what the drafters would have thought about, today’s commonly used weapons is beyond me.

      Meanwhile, the drafters left the possibility of amendment so that if the Constitution did indeed need an update, it could be done. I think that points to their intent/understanding that, and maybe I’m going out on a limb here, it’s possible that they would get it wrong so badly, or that society would change so drastically, that future generations would need to step in and fix things. It’s a difficult process though – first an amendment needs to be proposed by a 2/3 vote in the House and the Senate (or in a convention of the states) and then it must be ratified by 3/4 (at this point that would be 38) of the states.

      So maybe the obsession comes from the fact that we are, in some ways, kind of stuck with what we have unless we see some sort of uprising like the one that brought us abolition. And from that perspective, Cee is right – it’s a grasping for what is left of white supremacy. Without guns, how can we possibly expect it to continue – we even had a well armed militia in the south during the civil war and they still lost so we can’t possibly take away the last bit of control.

      And also Mel is right – we are beyond that. We’ve had a grand total of 27 amendments to the constitution in the nearly 230 years since it was ratified. People who believe in their right to bear arms are really passionate about it. There are a lot of them – enough to prevent full on amendment right now. And there’s a whole lot of fear about being able to defend ourselves against not just each other, but also our own government (never mind that if our government ever wants to take us out, they aren’t going to need to get anywhere within firing range – hello Syria as our latest example). It’s going to take some sort of act of the flying spaghetti monster to change the 2nd Amendment.

      Of course that doesn’t mean we should stop trying.

    So I just read a little of this comment section. Holy fuck, what a shitshow.

    Hang in there, Jenny, we love ya, girl.

    By the way, to all the asshole Trump-humpers here, I’m a Leftist – a Marxist, actually – and I own a gun. I own one because I’m descended from generations of cattle ranchers, and we needed guns to keep our herds safe from predators. I don’t fetishize the thing, though, because it’s a tool, not a replacement for a sad and flaccid penis, and I most certainly agree with Jenny that most (probably all) of YOU alt-Reich members don’t deserve to own one.

  68. I would like to share the majority of England’s opinions about gun control by quoting the absolutely amazing show, The Thin Blue Line.

    D.I. Grim: “You’re supposed to ask questions to find out who’s a suitable person to own a gun.”

    Inspector Fowler: “That’s right. And surely the first question must be, ‘does that person wish to own a gun?’.”

    D.I. Grim: “Well of course.”

    Inspector Fowler: “And if the answer to that is ‘yes’, then clearly that person is not a suitable person to have one.”

    I’m sorry you’re having to deal with so many violent idiots, Jenny. I’m also sorry that the state of education in this country is apparently so bad that none of the violent idiots can manage to come up with a better insult than variations on “Oh yeah? Well, your [sic] fat!” (On the bright side, “your artery filled mind” just made me laugh so hard I think I pulled a muscle. Congrats, gun-fetishizing dipshits of the world: you found a way to hurt a liberal through the internet! Today, your dreams have finally come true!)

      I know you probably know this, but I wanted to say that your faith is yours, and intolerant garbage people calling themselves christian shouldn’t be able to take that away from you. I’m an atheist myself, but faith and a relationship with god can be a wonderful thing, and something you need in times like these. So just stay strong, and don’t stop believing in good things, weather god or the good of humanity. Have a wonderful day. 🙂

      Oh yeah, exactly, what Maaike says. Manda your faith is your faith, and as an atheist I know so many christians that are waaaaay less judgmental about my atheism than I am (used to be) about their christianity. That really changed my perspective. Don’t let a couple of those fuckers take away your relationship with god. It’s something between the two of you. Don’t ever feel like you have to apologize for being a christian.

      You know there is a lot of horrid people in the world. The both of you are not. I really appreciate the support. I love the both of you as much as any stranger on the internet could love another. I live in the Midwest and there is just only so much hypocrisy I can stand. I love my Muslim friends, and my LGBT+ friends. I love listening to other people’s religions and I love collecting books on them because you know all faiths basically boil down to “don’t be a jerk”. It is just the hypocrisy that is killing my desire to be lumped in with them.

      Blessings to you and may the horrible people you deal with be few.

    Wow this is amazing, I only discovered your blog recently (buffy recaps!) but stuff like this is why I keep coming back to read your other posts. You truly are great, please don’t listen to any of the 10-year-old level insults (apologies to all actual 10-year-olds) coming your way. I”m English so no true understanding of the culture BUT believe me 95% of us here share your opinion on the NRA/more gun control and have so much sympathy for you guys over there re: the school shootings and how it must feel to send your kids into that possibility every day. Can’t even imagine. Really hope things get better for you all across the pond and that the abuse-spouting idiots find some inner peace.

    It takes special skills to get people from *both* sides of the political spectrum to hate on you at the same time. Bravo. After years of watching you attack & troll other people & send your followers after them – in much the same way you’re experiencing now – it is a true delight to watch you get your karma. I can’t remember when I’ve enjoyed Twitter more. I’m a staunch liberal & I wouldn’t dream of spouting the hateful shit you do. It’s ugly. But I guess that’s “very on-brand” for you, right? You reap what you sow. How’s that working out for you, sweetie?

    There’s a Chrome extension called Twitter Block Chain that allows you to block a person and all of that person’s followers. I haven’t used it, but I’ve seen people praising it. Maybe that could help you–800 notifications sounds like a nightmare.

    Sorry you had to deal with the idiots of the world that felt personally threatened by your indifference about their lives. Guess they’re under the impression you wield a lot of power in government? And can actually get this melted gun barrel plan executed or something?
