Anything that helps create buzz is kosher with Amazon, I'm sure.

>>5167071
Do you think they don't do this already? Her crybaby antics aside, I expect books by people like her to have bullshit ratings.

If you actually go and read the reviews it is obvious that it's just a bunch of boners trying to sink the rating.

Over 50 1 star reviews posted within 24 hours of each other? Sounds totally legit, brah.

>>5167100
They should have it to where only confirmed buyers can post reviews. I don't understand this free for all bullshit currently in affect.

>>5167071
Wasn't she fucking imploring men to review her book?

so has anyone here read the book? link to epub/mobi/pdf?

>>5167100

Probably a reaction to her trying to unfairly get positive reviewws.

>>5167173
She has? :-/

>>5167103
The interesting thing with people is that we tend to enjoy the best or the worst, because they are more interesting. The worst thing one can be is boring.

Consider Michael Medveds books about bad films. Consider the cult followings of Florence Foster Jenkins and Ed Wood. Even Shock Xpress 2 that takes film serious devoted one article about bad films and a collection of bad short stories. (Science Fiction Stories, or something).

This raid is fairly easy to counter. For every 1-star review, there will be a 5-star. And they are laughable similar. Most are just 1-line placeholders or something.

But check out the 3-star reviews. They really hurt:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/1408824744/ref=sr_cr_hist_3?ie=UTF8&filterBy=addThreeStar&showViewpoints=0

>This book seemed to start off well but went downhill towards the end. I thought the first two or three chapters were well written and thought provoking. She discusses her time in hospital with anorexia and talks about self harm and how both males and females are affected deeply by our patriarchal society.

>She then discusses porn and and cybersexism but as I got to this part of the book I began to get bored and felt I couldn't relate to any of it. She discusses her experience of harrassment online which is her personal experience and thats fair enough but it isn't a typical experience for the vast majority of women online. Most women don't have thousands of followers on Twitter. Most women don't receive death threats and bomb scares from hundreds of trolls. Of course this kind of thing happens to high profile feminists online because men are threatened by this kind of thing but we knew that anyway. Nothing new is being learned by any of this. It's just the experience of high profile middle class feminist writers on Twitter.

>Laurie then goes further into detail about her online life and discusses the misogyny among geeks online etc and again I just felt this was her experience but still nothing new to learn or say about misogyny apart from men are misogynists in an online environment just the same as they always have been everywhere else. Well so what?

>I have seen other people review this book as the future of feminism and things like that but as a woman I see nothing to relate to here. Nothing new is being said. I normally enjoy feminist literature but by the end of this book I just felt a bit sad inside. I really wanted to love this but I didn't find it that inspiring I'm afraid.

The only ting that I can object to is that death threats isn't trolling.

P.S. 1 and 5 cancels each other out to 3. Because (5+1)/2=3

Which caused which? I wonder. What makes more sense to you?

Can anyone think of a writer who would react like this to such obvious shitposting/trolling?

Imagine if Tao's work was bombed to one star. Would he care? Or would he just say that it was "funny, or something" in an interview and not care that much?

Laurie obviously doesn't trust her readers' ability, or the ability of the "super nerds!" on the internet she admires so much, to be able to tell this is a prank.

Narcissistic, hollow champagne slurper

>"Clearly, this book, and the fact that I’ve written it, is making some bedroom misogynists incredibly angry. Somewhat ironic, given that there’s a whole chapter in the book about how structural sexism works online."

Laurie slut pls go.

>>5167876
I'm fairly sure she's done this herself for promotion, riding the tired cliche, "all publicity is good publicity."

"Criticism is one thing – and the book has received its fair share of that from writers who think it’s too personal, too politically strident, too left-wing, too queer or too dark, as well as rave reviews from critics who love it for precisely the same reasons. But this is not fair criticism, any more than the men who’ve been sending me death threats for years are merely expressing their opinions.

I am not going to lie back and take this. Here’s how you can help.

-Firstly, you could buy the book! Or pre-order it, if you’re in the USA. I wouldn’t normally ask this so directly, but it’d be fantastic to see this latest bit of sexist sabotage massively backfire. If you’d prefer not to use Amazon, you can support your local independent bookshop here." -- Laurie penny

Come on tumblr womyn, lets smash the patriarchy. We can do this together; we can end misogyny. All you have to do is buy my book.

>>5167894
Surely the IPs are traceable, no?

That's how they nabbed Johann Hari after he edited his own wikipedia in a good light and attacked other peoples' pages

Also on amazon can't you keep changing your public name and post multiple reviews?

Either way I'm pretty sure you need to have bought stuff on there to post a comment.

And yeah that final line sums it up.

Laurie is a unique, independent person when she wants to be, and a representative of womyn everywhere when she needs to be. Criticize her as a person she says you're criticizing all women, criticize another woman and she becomes representative of that, and all other women. I trust that people won't suffer this fool for too long. She's already been caught faking quotes and misrepresenting her interviewees, calling a male Occupy organizer a c**t and so on. SHe'll slip up again

Penny got REKT and is blaming sexism, typical.

Hah! If it wasn't for /lit/, I wouldn't even know who this stupid bint is. It's sort of impressive how insatiable /lit/'s appetite is for pop schlock garbage and the Almost-Famous crew.

iF you look through the 5 star reviews, most accounts have been set up recently with Laurie's review as their sole post

Hmm, something fishy's going on methinks

"Well, it’s been quite a weekend. In the past 24 hours, I have been subjected to a stream of vile sexist and anti-semitic abuse on Twitter and elsewhere. This has become a normal part of my life as a person who dares to write in public whilst being both female and left-wing, but this weekend it’s been particularly full on. Rape fantasies and pictures of dead children were coming faster than I could block individual users. In the end I had to step away from the internet, which was a pain because I need the internet to work.

Today, they moved in on my book, ‘Unspeakable Things’, which was released two weeks ago. On the 20th July, a racist, misogynist Twitter account going by the moniker ‘@TurboHolborn’ posted a link to the customer review page of ‘Unspeakable Things,’ with the instruction ‘let the trolling commence’. Subsequently, over 20 one-star reviews full of vile sexist and scatological language were posted on the UK page of ‘Unspeakable Things’, almost all of them from users who had reviewed nothing else. I’ve taken screenshots. Amazon ratings really do matter to the publishing industry, and this is an obvious attempt at sabotage. Clearly, this book, and the fact that I’ve written it, is making some bedroom misogynists incredibly angry."

Explaining what Jon-Jon Goulian is -- to himself, to his parents, to us -- is the animating force behind The Man in the Gray Flannel Skirt. Do we care? That's the hard call. Mr. Goulian has written a talky book with a terrier yap, one that reads like a skittish celebrity memoir with no celebrity attached. It's a shallow, callow thing. If you dropped a penny into its well, you'd hear it click and rattle at the bottom.

>>5167918
Based Starkey

Oh Laurie, you publicly educated middle class champaign socialist - do love to hate you...
The worst thing is the only way I can find to talk about Penny and her work is to employ sexist rhetoric - shrill, nagging, shrewish etc. By being so affected and tedious she really is a traitor to her own cause. Feminists give feminism a bad name. And I consider myself a feminist, or an equalist, if that's a thing.

You have to admit self-victimizing "feminists" and internet trolls have a nice symbiotic relationship going.

>>5167918
That strikes me as a legit review, yet it's been removed.

>>5168020
Umm no, it's not "legitimate"

It's another troll

>>5168023
It at least indicates a familiarity with the book's contents. There are less substantial reviews than that up for basically any other book you search for on Amazon.

If the one star reviews are being removed then I hope the five star reviews are too. Both sides are guilty of the same thing here.

It hasn't been removed. Here is David Starkey's profile. His review of Laurie Penny's book is still there, with his other three reviews.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pdp/profile/A2HSKUOV1SZ1VA/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp

Wow that's pathetic

Most of the one star reviews actually seem more substantive than the five stars reviews.

Essentially it seems as though feminists love the book and non-feminists hate it, basically rendering its whole publication a pointless and onanistic exercise of preaching to the choir. No one is being challenged, just using the book as an occasion to rally around their preconceived ideas.

I did see one 3 or 4 star review earlier that was clearly from a real person, even a fan, and it was pretty scathing.

Something about it reading like a series of half-assed essays and petering out halfway through. Similar to this >>5167189

stop giving this cunt attention. that's all she wants.

Step 1: write shitty book
Step 2: pretend to be two-spirited transvestite midget jew
Step 3: antagonize a dozen 4chan trolls into a reaction
Step 4: oy vey anudda shoah!! 10 articles about how you are being oppressed by patriarchy trained Ben Garrison squads of murdering neo-nazis

>>5167876
Feminists are whiny cunts that can't stand any form of criticism.

You'd draw the same conclusion if you checked the positive ones with the same rigor.

Go and click on a few names: a handful have reviewed other books, but most of them have only ever reviewed Laurie's with their glowing five-star praise.

That, plus the fact that the five-stars keep magically growing to match the one-stars (it was 47-47 yesterday, then >>5167103 and now this), clearly indicates Laurie has her own private sockpuppet army.

This book is a valuable new synthesis of the left and will define it for decades to come. Out with the old, in with the new. Together with fellow academic elite philosophers like Suey Park she sets the tone and develops the new core theology of leftism.

>>5168327
Read the article she wrote:

She asks her little feminist army to help:

I actually am impressed, because this excuse could be a total comfort when anyone critiques anything you do. It's applicable to everything.

>oh, I didn't get the job? IT'S BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN

>my book gets bad reviews, because MEN ARE TRYING TO SUPPRESS ME!

Anything to keep yourself from coming to terms with the fact that you simply don't have talent enough to write a good book.

>>5168582
You know, postcards.

Just a simple postcard where we are civil and just call out the bullshit.

>Sexist troll are trying to sabotage my feminist book.

Is troll singular? As in, there is one troll sabotaging her feminist book? hmmm. Her use of 'are' would imply the plural, but as she has an English degree from Oxford and writes for some major tabloids, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps "sexist troll" is the name of a Norwegian metal band; would that make sense? "[the Norwegian metal band] Sexist Troll are trying to sabotage my feminist book?"

>>5168650
The difference is that Collins, Rowling, James, Meyer and Roth doesn't ride the waahmbulance.

Because that is not part of their persona. They just do two things: 1) Write book 2) Count money.

>>5168650
I like some of those books because the female authors keep their fucking mouths shut about real issues, and focus on entertaining me with a fantasy story.

>>5168607
Shut it Starkey you club-footed bum bandit. Sexist troll is clearly just a typographical error of a missing 's' borne by annoyance and frustration at the patriarchy. If you weren't such a waspish prick getting your thrill from your pathetic little stings you might be able to offer some relevant critique of her work. For instance the elision in the second sentence which suggests she is asking people to help her troll sexistly. Checking the grammar of tweets seems at about your level.

>>5168656
Penny's career is literally her saying what's wrong with everybody else. Should anybody be surprised she can't take criticism herself?

we /b/ now

>>5168692
Therefore we shouldn't critizise her, but rather criticize the one who is pandering her.

>>5168692
>Penny's career is literally her saying what's wrong with everybody else
*Penny's career is literally her writing about what's wrong with everybody else, deliberately antagonizing everyone else, and getting paid a huge sum of money to do it.

This thread is basically just fanning the flames, and will ultimately translate into a few more coins for her.

Artists with unlikable personalities get their works unrightfully (and rightfully) shat on all the time. Do you know how many iTunes reviews of Yeezus were just "man Kanye you an asshole"? It's just part of being an artist.

Does anyone else want to lick honey out of her sweaty ass crack?

>>5168715
But, if we send her literary agent postcards where we call out this humbug, Penny will be unable to earn coins from that.

>>5168720
I admire your continued attempts to make me think of Laurie Penny sexually, /lit/, but Laurie shot any chance of that happening down by tweeting that she's only started exercising for the first time in her entire life this year. The woman is literally a pile of blubber.

This is the sort of thing that happens when you train a whole class of people that the only criticism they receive is due to the other person's "irrational hatred" and that criticism, even scathing criticism, cannot be legitimate. This whole "men only disregard your words because men are sexist" attitude is taken too far.

Laurie Penny is a hack and a drama queen. The fact that she's so popular in the feminist movement abductly harms the feminist movement.

>>5169458
>>5169464
Anyone else honestly hope she is tremendously successful for being so fucking boring?

She slapped together ten whiny undergraduate blogpost essays about being called a fat slut on the internet and people are calling her a hero. Feminism neuters another potentially productive person's potential by rewarding them for merely existing.

Why would any self-respecting intellectual use twitter in the first place? I mean look at Dawkins. Regardless of his views, he ccan write well, but on twitter he's no different from edgy teenagers.

>>5169471
No, I'm more interested in the lesbian stuff. Or anal, whatever really she has nothing of an value whatsoever to contribute towards anything except perhaps suffering from anorexia and treatments for it (even if she just blames the patriarchy for it, at least she has experience that might prove helpful towards other people suffering from that condition).

>>5169486
Because Penny is the voice of a generation, and the generation uses twitter, therefore Penny must use twitter, just like she must dye her hair red, because she is hip and with the times like them young folk.

Amazon ratings are bullshit. Niggers rate every single book they read five stars (or, if they didn't finish it / like it, one star). Do people seriously consume media in such a mindless manner? Everything they read is either flawless or irredeemable?

Wait, she's a jew?

>>5169458

>>5169697
That's something I've been wondering about for a while. Penny says she's of "Jewish, Irish and Maltese descent"

But she also says:

>I don't have any #leftyancestors that I know about, but trying to change the world anyway, because someday I want to be one.

Penny, a British citizen, says her family tree is 100% made up of people who suffered under British rule, but not one of them were left-leaning. Is Laurie Penny's famliy tree made up entirely of traitorous collaborators and Uncle Toms?

>>5169697
She's of Jewish, Maltese, and Irish descent I believe.

Her farther is the Jew though, so it barely counts and she seems pretty unjewish anyway. It wouldn't jive with her 'woman of the poor people' thing though.

are there nudes of her??
pls yes pls

>>5169735
She's fairly short, very underdeveloped (probably part of the reason she acts the way she does), and no doubt quite flabby.

But if you like flat chested flabby midget porn, then I'm *so* sorry but there aren't nudes of her. Yet.

You'd think with all the men and women she sleeps with one would have gotten some pics but no, apparently there's one thing she's got on Lizzy Vaid.

>>5169711
I mean, what the fuck is this. Has anyone, ever, been asked out of the blue whether they were Maltese? How many people in fucking Brussels think of Maltese people as looking distinct from everyone else? How many people in the world, period, think of the Maltese people as a distinct ethnic group? I refuse to believe people walk up to this woman and ask her if she belongs to a tiny Southern European ethnic group without being prompted to.

>that fucking tattoo

The woman is built of edges and angst. Will she ever grow up and become a respectable person?

>>5169782
What you have to appreciate are the proportions, they may loot like a handful on her from that photo but considering that she's quite small even smaller breasts will look slightly larger, relative to her body, whilst still being tiny in terms of actual breast sizes.

Having said that she may not be as flat chested as I though and on top of there's actually nothing wrong with having small breasts (the opposite in some cases).

>>5169790
I'd still sleep with her, I bet she's a submissive little minx in bed and therefore I think sex with her would be great. I just don't think she's very attractive.

Sage doesn't work any more nigga, moot disbanded it.

What can men do against such viral marketing now?

Literally ignoring Penny is the absolute best way to handle her.

>>5169782
is she trying to appeal to the bull dyke demograph?

>>5169900
Sage still works, you dummy, it just isn't visible so you faggots aren't allowed to attention whore with it.

Neither were the heralds that shouted messages and news from the monarchy. Yet the heralds were were a part of a system that had influence over the clueless subjects of the throne. Just replace the herald with Laurie, the monarchy with dumb feminists and the clueless with bandwagon retards who can't form a coherent thought for themselves.

Her bristling at the slightest criticism used to be funny but now this is just ridiculous. How is this anything other than being coddled? Admittedly there are some nearly incoherent/purely vitriolic reviews seemingly thrown in for yucks, but otherwise is mostly people citing an inconsistent, lazily-written book.

>Imagine if Tao's work was bombed to one star. Would he care? Or would he just say that it was "funny, or something" in an interview and not care that much?

He would tweet "I feel out of control" but otherwise do exactly as you said.

I know this is only tangentially related, but what does /lit/ think of Caitlin Moran?

>>5167954
I guess the problem is that if its documented enough, and in a large enough wave, it might be the only thing people see if they Google the person, which could get annoying.

Private citizens out of the limelight have fuck all to worry about though, so I don't really know how cyberbullying actually kills people no one gave a fuck about to begin with.
