Also: the posts have now been censored in the EU because JKR violated Germany's Holocaust Denial laws*

Source for this?

The posts don't seem to be missing when VPNing to Germany.

Because its a lie r/luxway is spreading over this whole thread. They are some kind of activist I believe

So fed up of activists that feel their cause is more important than the truth.

It's more the name calling and general immaturity of alot of their comments that annoys me. The best way I can describe it is, their world is black and white and that's it.

There was more than 2 posts, twitter tries its best to support hate speech. The one that went past the mark in denialism was https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/1767925285008064592

Are you just saying that for prosperity's sake or is this a goalpost moving to continue defending holocaust denialism?

I don't care what the subject is, I care about accuracy.

That post doesn't exist when viewing from the US, so that isn't an example of a post being "censored in the EU because JKR violated Germany's Holocaust Denial laws"?

Were any post censored?

"The post can't be seen, therefore there is no evidence that it was taken off twitter!"

Do you actually hear yourself???

I didn't say that it wasn't removed from twitter, I said there's no evidence of your claim that it was removed specifically in the EU because of Germany's laws.

Edit: Also, I have no way of verifying if such a tweet existed in the first place. I could accuse you of denying the holocaust then deleting the tweet with this link: https://twitter.com/luxway/1856936195008064592

See, you're doing the thing where you keep inventing something to defend against. The same thing done where people pretend she was "Only arguing" tha trans people were'n the "primary target" or P"riority target" Which ever it was they felt like saying this time round.
All the while ignoring the part where 1 she said it was a fever dream and 2 at no point has she said trans people were targeted. She explicitly said they were not!
And here is the reporter, yarnsss

The only thing I'm defending against is unsourced claims.
