@davidgerard this toot is how I learned that amnesty's being a dick about this
Maybe they legally have to or they'll get accused of publishing by proxy and then get hit with bullshit defamation suits

@davidgerard@circumstances.run @davey_cakes@mastodon.ie @froztbyte@mastodon.social yeah tbh, making up a scenario in which it's okay for them to do this is kinda weird. I've had that curiosity before, and the best way to handle it is to avoid rationalizing the irrational.

No, they do not have to, they're choosing to.

Yeah that's fair enough
I dunno if their hands were tied or not
I do know that the 5 Labour MPs who found themselves cosigning a motion with a member of the DUP over this can go and get fucked

@davidgerard i'm doing my part!

@hllizi not actively going out of their way to act like pieces of shit is not necessary then. there is no reasonable cause to be charitable.
this sort of "ahaha they are actually being very clever" comment is fatuous and tedious
Gaslighters often use "Geez! Can't you take a joke?!?" to evade accountability for the awful things they say.
Bigotry has often cadged off of humor to keep an unfair hierachy intact.

@Npars01 @davidgerard I don't know, are you saying the bad take I have already deleted was narcissistic humour?

@davidgerard Thank you for the info, seeding now

Apologies for the misunderstanding.
I am not accusing you of weaponizing humor.
I am accusing billionaires like Musk of doing it though.
Musk's fans like "transgressive humor" and Musk likes bigoted "humor" for its ability to incite far right riots.
The Jim Crow and Nazi era was replete with similar examples.

@puppygirlhornypost2 @davidgerard @froztbyte
I know what you mean.
I've had to learn more than I wanted to about defamation law and SLAPPS and that's the stuff popping into my head.
That doesn't mean they couldn't be in the wrong here, and it is disappointing in any case.

@Npars01 @davidgerard OK, but this was a different topic here, it was about Amnesty International going after people who publish their retracted report on anti-trans organisations with DMCA takedown notices after Rowling threatened to sue.

I was responding to your comment about cleverness.
Rowling & her fans aren't the only rich people using cleverness to disguise hostility & bigotry

@Npars01 @davidgerard ah, ok. But that was referring to my suggestion that Amnesty might be exploiting the Streisand effect. Which amounted to defending their reputation by suggesting they are willing to sacrifice it to spread that report. I wasn't being entirely serious, but apparently the idea had also been floated before.

@davidgerard this confuses me, if Amnesty Int'l cannot face one lawsuit by a bunch of weirdos, how can it have any relevance standing up to whole states and international businesses. This is basically self-destruction

@librarysquirrel @davidgerard Think about this the next time they ask you for money, and keep that checkbook closed.

@davidgerard wait, this world is spinning to fast for my taste. Why is AI DMCA'ing their own report? Did they not release it?

@davidgerard ok, google was useful for a change. What the fuck are they doing? with their standing I'd expect they have a legal department that rivals some corporations

The only logical conclusion is that Amnesty International hates transgender people.
