A fetish model and aspiring Pro-Domme from Cambridge, UK. I'm looking for photographers/videographers/producers to push the boundaries and create unusual and extreme content with! But I do also do SFW modelling. Oh, and I'm also trans!

I didn't know about the cancel culture/anti-trans turn! I loved Arcadia and R/G too, and "The Real Inspector Hound" was possibly the funniest thing I'd ever read.

I suppose there's no chance of getting P.R.O.B.E included then. Liz Shaw's supporters tried to warn us about this, and now it seems Sarah Jane's inclusion is jeopardised too.

Searched the article, no mention of trans rights anywhere.

Will either David Tennant or David Tennant hear my motion that "The Wheel in Space" has been underrated, and that it has been judged based on it's similarity to the plots preceding it, instead of on its own merits?

Agreed, and despite Choke Point supposedly ending during the Trump administration, I recall Fetlife being subjected to something very like it during Trump 1.0.
I've also seen someone claim that the Bush admin used similar tactics in shutting down a site called Index in the 00s.

Is there any alternative you would recommend?
I've tried using online pharmacies instead (one of the few times when one does have to use cryptocurrency to pay for something) only for Coinbase to shut my account down. So, back to GGP I went.

I think the Moonshot Network @moonshotpods.bsky.social covered this game on one of their podcasts - though it might have been an unrelated podcast - anyway, the game sounded really cool.

In fairness, Rusbridger also allowed Cohen to keep groping other staff members and getting away with it.

the brilliant investigative journalist, into early retirement. Or just got rid of him full stop, and perhaps he couldn't get hired elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Viner allowed serial sexual harasser (and occasional TERF writer) Nick Cohen to carry on with impunity.

Viner's appointment as editor came after the Snowden coverage, in which (though I can't remember the article off the top of my head) apparently Guardian staff were scared by the NSA backlash and wanted someone who wouldn't take a courageous stand against power.

I'm also pretty sure the focus on sports and trans children as a strategy came after the failed 2015 "bathroom bills" and the threatened boycotts of North Carolina by businesses.

Do you have any evidence of Kath Viner being influenced by them in 2017/2018 when the Guardian went full anti-trans? I am aware that the Christian right is funding a lot of this hate, and maybe they had some way to indirectly pressure Guardian editorial back then, but I haven't seen evidence.

I think that may have been 2017? I do recall them saying that and I agree that they're funding the problem, but the Guardian's descent into full transphobia happened without the evangelicals pressuring them.

I'll read it when I have time, but the pivotal moment of all this - the Guardian suddenly going full-on transphobe when self-ID was proposed under the May government - did not seem to have any outside influence.
I think this helped create a bandwagon that the US groups could jump on, though.

The Julie Burchill one from 2013 might have been, I don't recall. But Bindel's hate articles weren't.
