The porn star Stoya dropped a bomb today on Twitter. She's accusing her former boyfriend James Deen of raping her. At one point they were the most popular porn star couple around.

I'm way behind but before I catch up I wanted to share this hilarious but of feminist SJW Poe's Law in action. It's from 2 years ago but a slymepit search yielded nothing. I present to you:

The chances of this being twisted to mean "Dawkins thinks students should not be safe from rape and assault on campus" is 100% right?

Anybody know what prompted this tweet?

Sorry if ninjaed, but this made me angry. A dumb feminist went to a magic show at the Magic Castle.

I don't recall if we locked horns on the issue, but I don't feel she should have been punished.

PZ Myers is an Atheism own-goal in human form.

I think I found the Rebecca Watson fan club headquarters. Presided by one PZ Myers.

In any event Warwick SU already capitulated and are allowing Namazie to speak. The public pressure worked. Good.

Oh right, this is PZ.

We can add Salman Rushdie to those backing Namazie. Not surprising but still good to hear from him. It was just a tweet but this stuff matters. He has a million followers.

A comment I spotted over at Coyne's article on Namazie: The main point being missed here is the political context. Criticising Islam or any religion is, of course, perfectly valid. But everyone should know that powerful vested interests have hijacked the debate about ‘free speech’, etc. A shameful ...

So the Warwick student union officers that no-platformed Maryam Namazie are all white men. You can't make this stuff up. Identity politics really just boils down to "it's ok when we do it" doesn't it?

Since rejecting SJW dogma is invariably labeled 'racism', 'sexism', 'homophobia', etc., go ahead -- see how far you get with "criticism or disagreement" at Skepticon. Exactly right.
