The tweet says she "threatened" to sue them in 2021. Topic title makes it sound like she actually is suing them. Big difference there.

It could but the matter's so petty I really doubt it'd be considered worth the court's time

The post says she threatened to sue them, not is suing them. Can you not tell the difference?

No, I don't think it's that she threatened to sue them in 2021. I think it's she's currently threatening to sue them over something they Tweeted in 2021.

EDIT: Maybe. Things are unclear. Looking into it.

Wow, that's a new low. She seriously needs to do some self reflection. This isn't even about trying to own her or something, she is letting one issue tear down every other thing she supposedly stood for at this point

Also that one issue she is wrong on but I mean I feel like her ten years ago while she was still transphobic but hadn't totally gone off the rails yet would look at that shit and go "future me is an idiot"

Yes, tweet chain confirms. She's currently threatening to sue them over a 2 year old tweet.

I don't use Twitter so I didn't see the entire chain. I stand corrected.

Until we see actual court documents however I'm still skeptical.

Mmm JK "threatens' to sue people all the time. Doubt she follows through, unlike in the USA, barristers actually get punished for bringing frivolous litigation in the UK.

if I recall, she threatened to sue because the tweet in question insinuated that she was a nazi and I guess that's a big no no.

But hey just for funsies lets take a look back at that old photo we all saw in high school of nazi book burnings. The one used to remind us how great it was that we had the freedom to read any kind of book we wanted.

This one. and honestly several others from the same event.

Of course what all those great U.S. history courses likely never taught most of us was the specifics. That this wasn't just "hahahaaaa yes now they won't have books!", but was a very deliberate targeted strike on the Institute of Sexology, renowned at the time for its advocacy for homosexual and transgender people.
