You all remember our post The Many Faces of Anna Karenina, right? Well now, we have one more face to show you. She is also Sock Puppet at Play on BookLikes.
You may find these two posts by SPAP on BL and very interesting.
Is it a coincidence that these two posts are talking about the exact same thing and using the exact same wording? We think not.
So, beware next time you’re on BL. Sock Puppet at Play is AK.
We’d like to report that Jenny Trout and her band of miscreants were successful in their attempt to get Fionna Free Man’s book (a fictional story about Thomas Jefferson’s Mistress) pulled from Amazon:
For proof, here’s a comment from Jenny’s blog:
If you go back and read why Jenny started this take-down campaign against this author’s book, you’ll see it was because she was just appalled at the “rape” in it and how “racist” the book was that it demeaned a WoC (woman of color.)
Now, why are we telling you this? Because Jenny completely got it wrong about both the author and the book. Not only is the author a WoC and a black rights activist, her book has NO rape in it! None!
Really, there is so much stupid in this Jenny Trout story, we’re not sure where to begin. I guess we’ll start with Jenny’s tweets on the subject. Here, she asks how she was supposed to know the author was a PoC (Person of Color):
Well, Jenny, if you’d taken the time to do your research on the author and her book, just like our blog reader did, you’d have known. It isn’t rocket science.
Furthermore, in this tweet, Jenny tells someone that she is known for taking down authors whom she judges to be unworthy (and we all know how good her judgement and efforts to inform herself are):
Now, because of all this nonsense, we have idiots like this re-blogging a post that is misinformed and that gets the facts wrong on all levels:
First of all, Jenny was wrong about the author and her book because she didn’t do her research. Secondly, Anne Rice didn’t tell any of her fans to complain to Jenny’s publisher. All our post, Jenny Trout Sabotages Another Author’s Book, Encourages Fans to Pirate it.
So, Anne had nothing to do with Jenny’s publisher deciding to dump her. The problem started when one of the authors on the project was uncomfortable having her story published alongside Jenny’s, which she clearly states on her blog:
Now, at the very end of Idiot’s re-blog, it says:
This is a really hostile environment for WoC …
And we’d have to agree with that, but not on the part of the “racist fuckheads”. It is on the part of Jenny and her band of bullies. Unwittingly, while trying to exercise her self-granted power of author take-downs and punish a “racist” and her book, she did irreparable damage to a WoC and made herself look like a fool in the process.
Good job, Jenny.
