In this, the inaugural episode of an occasional series I’m calling Just Another Day on Twitter, we will meet a very concerned Twitterer who showed up in my mentions today.
Jemoi1, you see, is unhappy that I suggested the other day that Richard Dawkins’ recent tweets about Chanty Binx, the red-haired Canadian feminist who’s become a favorite target of MRAs and others of their ilk, would almost certainly worsen the harassment that she’s been facing on a daily basis for nearly three years.
“[B]y accusing people you disagree with of harrasing you are pissing on the experience of real harrasment victims,” Jemoi1 tweeted at me, claiming to be a harassment victim himself. In a followup tweet, he accused me of chasing page views “while ignoring victims of harrassment.”
As I pondered whether or not to bother to respond, I clicked over to Jemoi1’s Twitter feed. And this is what I saw.
As you no doubt noted, I blanked out the names of those he was targeting as well as some of the more obscene language.
There are literally hundreds of tweets like these — angry, obscene, scatological, abusive.
Jemoi1 is a little bit obsessed with horses.
And with other people’s mothers.
Oh, in case you’re wondering, when Jemoi1 refers to “racism,” he (naturally) means racism against white people. This is the main theme of perhaps a third of his tweets.
Despite his obsession with racism (against white people), he is happy to drop the n-word into his own Tweets. Here’s one lovely example:
While most of his tweets target feminists and those he deems anti-white racists, Jemoi1 also has some strong feelings about e-sports, spamming a number of professional e-sporters with the same vicious, vaguely threatening message:
In a couple of cases, he moved past mere threatening language and simply sent his targets death threats.
It seems to me that if Jemoi1 were truly concerned about the victims of harassment, he would have long ago DELETED HIS ACCOUNT.
Reported?
I hear @jack of twitter is no longer worth a billion dollars, as twitter stock falls. I hope he has a good long look at this account and ponders how much harassment is affecting him personally.
Investors might finally be noticing that twitter is an unmoderated cesspool, and a vast number of much coveted new users are just trolls with multiple accounts.
Of course, the trolls will tell you it’s because @nero was unverified.
I’m surprised he even bothered to pretend to be concerned.
Wow. Accusing you of harassment? There’s a fair amount of cognitive dissonance right there. Given the flavour of zie’s other tweets, it’s almost like that first one was written by a completely different person. Hm. I’ve never trusted those Twitter eggs…
Feminists are so ugly he pucked?!? That sounds… painful. Or possibly related to some kind of hockey kink…
**Trigger warning**
Tweets are publically visible.
Whoa. Roosh is trying to do a worldwide meetup thingy this Saturday.
Oh. My. God. I’m so upset I don’t live in Stockholm anymore. Any Stockholmers here gonna go to Medborgarplatsen for this epic failure? I just can’t imagine keeping a straight face when some weirdo sneaks up and goes “hey… do you, uh, know where I can find a… umm… pet shop?”
I am laughing already. PLEASE let there be at least some video of this after the fact. Oh god.
At least trolls make themselves easier to find by not taking the time to upload a profile pic.
How very unsurprising. Concern trolls are the same as all other trolls. That’s why I poke them and get them to show their true colors.
@ dhag
I need to get a replacement for my Norwegian Blue Parrot so this could get messy!
@ Kathleen B
Shame he doesn’t puck off.
@dhag
8 – 8.20 pm? How late do pet shops stay open, anyway?
Lovely to imagine the dudes sliding up to people and muttering “the eagle flies sideways over Belgium”.
Better than any PUA chat up line.
@Alan
These are the spots for the UK:
Cardiff – Beside female statue in front of Hilton Cardiff on Friary Road.
Edinburgh – Covenanter’s Memorial in Grassmarket
Glasgow – George Square. Meet by the tall obelisk statue.
Leeds – The center of Millenium Square
London – Royal Airforce Bomber Command Memorial, Green Park (Hyde Park Corner side)
London – In front of Royal Exchange beside horseman statue (outside “Bank” tube station)
Manchester – In front of the main entrance to Sinclair’s Oyster Pub
Newcastle – Beside Grey’s monument
Shrewsbury – Frankwell car park, bottom of the pedestrian walkway.
It’s like a fucking spy movie! Hahahahahahaha. Unbelievable.
I love it, love it, love it. Like I can’t even begin to list the ways I love it because there are too many.
@katz
I’ve been smiling since I saw this. If I were in Stockholm I’d go to the square with a little foldable table and some chairs and occupy the spot. With a sign that says “pet store”. Hahahaha.
Roosh found the woman who threw beer in his face back in August. Someone tipped him off yesterday.
She’s openly stated she did it on her twitter acct. His forum is busily doxxing her, as much as they can for someone who is pretty open about her info. I hope she’ll be ok.
@dhag85
Is the meeting in Stockholm the only one in the Nordic countries? If there’s one in Finland, especially in the Helsinki area, I might actually try and do an espionage mission. 😀
> “You’re harassing people by pointing out they’re inciting harassment against others!”
> Proceeds to harass a bunch of people and send them death threats.
Sounds like an expert in his field to me.
I love that there is all kinds of secrecy and secret codes. Why? Presumably because of the threat of beer throwing feminists? But then they put all the details and instructions on a public site.
It’s adorable.
Maybe someone could turn this into a stealth pet adoption scheme.
Wait, hold that thought. I don’t want these guys to own pets.
@ dhag
Well maybe Austin Powers.
Even their Tradecraft is rubbish.
George Smiley is rolling in his grave.
ETA: Or simply sighing in brief disgust.
@ victorious parasol
You’ll be pleased to know that, within the Le Carre universe, George Smiley is enjoying a happy retirement as the chair of the Fishing Rights Committee.
I can imagine him raising a wry smile at our MRA friends’ antics though.
Ah, ninja’d by edit 🙂
@Alan Robertshaw
It’s certainly more entertaining to picture George Smiley giving a wry smile.
Though now that I’ve started reading Christopher Fowler’s Bryant and May series, I’m starting to imagine what would happen if Roosh’s followers accidentally crossed paths with the Peculiar Crimes Unit.
@ victorious parasol
I like ‘Bryant & May’ as character names. I’ve always wanted to use ‘Chalfont & Latimer’ (after the Tube station)
