Not-so-nice white lady Andrea Hardie — perhaps better known on the internet as Janet Bloomfield and/or JudgyBitch — is still ostensibly the Social Media Director of the fading Men’s Rights hate site A Voice for Men.
But with AVFM no longer grabbing the headlines it once, if briefly, did, the attention-seeking Canadian has apparently decided to hitch herself to the hate movement that’s really going places these days — the so-called alt-right, a loose collection of white supremacists, anime Nazis, and cuck-clucking Trump fans who enjoy trolling Twitter with hateful garbage as much as Hardie herself does.
Her latest publicity stunt? An almost gleefully racist Twitter tirade against Beyoncé and her fans as “feral animals” and “thugs.” As the singer’s fans took to Twitter to celebrate the premiere of Bey’s “visual album” LEMONADE, Hardie jumped into the fray with Tweets designed to offend:
UPDATE: Hardie’s Twitter account has evidently been suspended; I will replace the missing tweets with screenshots when I get a minute. Luckily the text remains:

When one Puerto Rican woman took offense at her not-very-well-disguised racist language, Hardie cranked the racism up further:

Hardie followed up her Twitter tirade with a blog post titled, with her characteristic subtlety, “Beyoncé fans are feral thugs, like her.” In it, Hardie managed to find an excuse to use the word “feral” five times, “thugs” and “thuggish” six times, and “animals” four times. Here she manages to use all three in once sentence:
What I am saying is that #BlackLivesMatter thugs can scream to high heaven they are just frustrated victims of racism, but their actions are those of feral, wild animals.
Beyoncé’s recent, Black-Panther-referencing, Super Bowl performance was “an attack on the police officers of America,” Hardie sniffs. LEMONADE is worse, a sign that Beyoncé has fully “embrace[d] the violent thuggery of #BlackLivesMatter.” And while Beyoncé’s music and music videos won’t
cause anyone to go out and shoot an officer … these thugs are already so inclined, and it sure does provide a nice musical background!
In her blog post, Hardie makes much of the fact that that some women responded to her racist Tweets with threatening language. “When I tweeted to the hashtag #Lemonade asking why Beyoncé was embracing such ugly stereotypes about Black women as feral,” Hardie writes, “a legion of her fans showed up to prove they weren’t feral at all! Good job, ladies!”
Hardie posts screenshots of Tweets in which women offended by her Tweets tell her to “shut up, bitch” and “die slow.” One women, whose account seems to have since been banned, threatens to “slice [her] like a f**ing cheesecake” as well as to do some exceptionally disturbing things to, and with, the penis of Hardie’s father.
While acknowledging that when people on Twitter threaten her, she “threaten[s] them right back,” Hardie for some reason neglects to post screenshots of any of her responses. Here are several of them, which may strike you as a tad feral, animalistic and thuggish themselves.

As it turns out, Hardie is something of an old hand at threatening Twitter foes with gruesome violence. Apparently she regularly fantasizes about flaying off the skin of her enemies, gouging out their eyes, and/or bolting their heads to cars and doors. Among other things.

In the interest of keeping this a SFW blog, I will refrain from posting a Tweet in which Hardie pulls out the c-word before threatening to “gouge out [the] eyes” of a woman before stuffing them up her posterior.
I will also refrain from posting a Tweet in which Hardie told another Twitter foe how much she would enjoy “bolting your head to the roof of my car” because Hardie, who regularly affects great concern over being doxxed, included what I presume is her home address in the Tweet.
There are more examples, many more. And she is not shy about threatening people off of Twitter either.
But I think the point is fairly clear. If we were to judge all white women by the Twitter timeline of Andrea Hardie, we would have to conclude that they are feral, animalistic thugs — with a rather vivid imagination when it comes to imagining how they might torture, kill and dismember their foes.
Despite her penchant for floridly violent threats, Hardie — the wife of a Canadian academic — has so far refrained from explicit racial slurs, at least on Twitter.
And while she has occasionally dropped the alt-right buzzword “cuck” — once when referring to me — she hasn’t taken up another alt-right favorite, the racist slur “dindu.” She seems content, at least for now, to stick with racial-slur-substitutes like “feral” and “thug.”
She feels no such compunction about using the word “faggot,” which she trollishly pretends is not the slur that it is.

And these are just from the past 24 hours. I left out the worst one, a crudely sexual bag of insults directed at the excellent @TakedownMRAs
Hardie, while perhaps not the credit to her race that she evidently thinks she is, continues to celebrate (as she has been doing for some time) what she sees as the superiority of “white culture,” or at least the more traditionalist aspects of it.

As that last Tweet suggests, Hardie not only apes the rhetoric and the obsessions of the alt-right; she has begun to embrace the label as well.

And then today, this rather inept attempt at blackface.

I suppose it’s only a matter of time before she starts dressing up as Hitler.

For more on Hardie’s Twitter meltdown, see Janet Bloomfield Has Racist Twitter Meltdown; Says She Wants to Tweet a Photo of Herself in Blackface on Hail to the Gynocracy, which helped point me to some of the Tweets I used in this post.
If you do check out that post, do some poking around in Hail to the Gynocracy’s archives. The site, which tracks the alt-right and other reactionary doofuses, deserves a lot more attention that it gets.
Kat: Hardie is associate prof, so he’s tenured. He’ll be OK as long as he doesn’t start spewing this crap in class.
He *might* be at risk on his position as associate dean but even then I doubt it: it’s really hard to justify firing someone based on their spouse’s rants.
She is skimming awfully close to hate speech, which can have some consequences in Canada. Usually pretty tepid consequences. Uttering threats is also illegal, but the police tends to assume “it’s just the internet” here as well. So she’s probably safe being hateful.
Were she in Quebec, her loved ones could seek help from this centre:

Woah, and only today I saw that Andrea Hardie had sent a supportive/enabling tweet to Candace Owens, which Owens thanked her kindly for. Maybe little Candace should go do some research on her new pals….
I’m trying to imagine how Hardie’s rhetoric goes down at her children’s school bake sales.
You know all this talk of violence and flaying is making me think she’s Ramsay Bolton’s dream girl…
No one let them have children.
My goodness- Hardie appears to have the maturity level of a 15-year-old, and of course attracts the hate and rage of other women and men with the maturity of 15-year-olds. Reading those tweets, I was transported back to my high-school cafeteria. That’s what it’s like- silly, pathetic adolescents trying to annoy the crap out of each other and build up as much status as possible within their cliques.
Sorry Andrea, but Asians, Central Americans and Mesopotamians had advanced agricultural systems down and were doing mathematics and astronomy and making monuments long before whitey came along. In fact, long before even the Romans were around to judge your German ancestors for still living in crude huts in the forest.
How does one fail at blackface like that? What was she applying to her face?
Golly, what a dumpster fire of a person.
Is all that sh*t legal? Threats and all? Here in the UK we had someone arrested at his workplace, put on trial and the whole schmeer for tweeting an ill-considered mock-threat when a local airport was closed due to snow.
And no, that’s not blackface: that’s the healthy totally natural cheeto-style tan of her idol Mr Trump, for whom she apparently thinks she is voting, despite not being a US citizen or resident or able to vote in the US elections.
Maybe that’s it? Maybe she and the other Trump supporters and Trump-adjacent fools out there think that filling the Twitter-sphere with hateful, racist, misogynistic violent blather is voting? With their democratic bytes of internet rage, bullying and horror?
I hope that when the orange-coloured orc wins the Republican nomination and is then beaten into oblivion at the election (I would like it to be by Sanders but I think it will be by Hillary) they will swallow their own tails and vanish up their own fundamental inconsistencies.
This makes me feel weird as my natural skin colour is yellow – as frequently pointed out to me by my four year old who is delighted by it. When I tan, it goes a bit like that, but less orange. On the other hand, my accent is Aussie, so hopefully no one will mistake us.
Can someone who knows about bronzer explain what it is with all the orange skin on the right wing these days? The commenter above who mentioned angry cheetos is right on the mark. I didn’t realise she was trying to blackface – I honestly thought she’d just been following the whites-only fluoro orange trend? What is with that?
Sadly, she has a bigger group of fellows around here than I would like to admit as a Canadian. Harper basically turned up the volume on anti-Islamic asswipes so that some people who consider themselves strongly ‘liberal’ have expressed incredibly horrible views about Muslims.
It could just be the city I live in, or the specific army base I live near (I realize not all military people hold negative views of Muslim people, just a large number of the ones I’ve run into do) but I’m really glad Harper is out. Maybe we can get back on a path to actually and for-real making Canada the peaceful ‘cultural mosaic’ my grade six social studies class claimed it already was (I’m now aware of how one-sided my education was in these regards).
I also realize Harper did not cause these views so much as make them louder, so I realize racism has been alive and kicking here since the beginning of this country (one founded on genocide and theft). Nonetheless…. he wasn’t helping the matter

Buttercup Q. Skullpants:
Lol yes that is some serious Canard à l’Orange face XD

She would watch/read Game of Thrones and totally like Ramsey. She really, really fucking would.
No, twitter is not at all strict and does not care. Nor does the U.S. govt. Canada might?
I’d recommend needle felting. My goal is to someday needlefelt some Hamtaro characters, or Monokuma from Dangan Ronpa. It’s good stress relief.
It involves a good amount of pointy things for your buck, and you can even buy loose wool kits to make cute things! All you have to do is bundle up the wool and stab it with a felting needle repeatedly for hours on end until you get the shape you want! You can even get tools like this where you can stab multiple times with one thrust!

Here’s a video demonstration for the curious:
actually people do eat dirt! I can’t remember what’s called but its very rare. Sometimes it’s added in small amounts to food for flavor/texture reasons (like salt. salt is a just a special form of dirt, really). Sometimes it’s because for whatever reason people are low on certain minerals. Sometimes it’s because of starvation – even if you aren’t getting nutrients at least your belly has something to chew on, so to speak. There are also people do it for unknown reasons, i.e. individual cases where they don’t appear to have malnutrition problems but eat dirt anyway.
There’s also small children who do it because small children are scientists with little common sense and fewer social inhibitions.
she’s like a high schooler trying to get in with the edgy crowd by being super loud, making empty snarling threats, and yelling slurs and cusses to seem super cool.
the big bads of the alternative right, y’all. calling black people and women hysterical and feral and turning around and doing this, calling themselves better just because they’re white and/or rich and/or a dude.
Oh god, if Hardie brought her crossbow…they would definitely have another one of those “hunting” parties. This is a scary, scary woman.
People eating dirt is ‘pica’, one of the signs of severe iron deficiency. Also, occasionally engaged in otherwise healthy children.
@me and not you – Pica.
ETA – Ninja’d!
@dreemr, backtracking quite a bit, but I believe she means a crossbow bolt when she’s talking about ‘bolting’ people’s heads to things. Given that whole ‘help me pay for my murder fantasies’ thing a while back.
Firing a crossbow through someone’s head into the roof of your car seems somewhat logistically challenging though. Not to mention a waste of a perfectly good car roof.
It would be if the car were in motion, Max Max style!
Otherwise, personal experience…where I fired through a thick wooden target and over a field and mumble into a cow…says those things are powerful as all fuck.
(The cow was mostly okay, as the bolt mostly lodged in fur and left a small non-bleeding divot, but going into the field to try to help the cow was unpleasant for both of us. And on that day, I learned cows are faster than I am.)
I’d forgotten about her obsession with crossbows. I was imagining her using those long bolts they use in concrete construction. Does Twitter just not care about death threats anymore or something?
Thanks Andrea, for reminding me to order Lemonade. It will be at my house on May 6, whoo hoo! Kisses.
Legitimate lol out of me for that one, glad the cow was okay. So basically you’re saying it’d probably also result in a waste of a perfectly good everything in your car that the bolt hit? 😛
Did they ever? :/
edit: Sorry I edited your quote to add an ellipsis, it looked a little strange without the difference in italics due to the block quote.
Scaly Llama, I mention her husband b/c I suspect his job is why she has whatever small level of rhetorical restraint that she has (eg, the lack of explicit racial slurs).
@Space Alpaca & @Steampunked – okay, a crossbow bolt makes WAY more sense, thank you! I, too, was envisioning a nut & bolt and it just seemed oddly specific.
The needle-felted cat is desperately cute. 😀
