Owen Jones, hinting that people who attend LGB Alliance conferences are…what, not sexually attractive enough for his taste? Too ugly, too old, too informally dressed, too female? It’s hard to be sure, but “without comment” is definitely a juvenile sneer of some kind. Maybe we’re meant to take it as a juvenile sneer of every kind, for our own convenience.
Also, “without comment” makes it not without comment, so there’s that.

Did this post reference a tweet which then disappeared?
Or did I forget to include the tweet? I think I did.
There. Sorry!
Because Owen Jones and other TRA’s will never be old, unattractive, irrelevant, and passed it. Of course…
That’s a group I’d be pleased to be invited to join.
The replies from people are pretty clear that this has been received by OJ’s fans / LGBA’s detractors as shot at the age of the group. ‘He didn’t say anything about age, he didn’t even make a comment!’ – that sort of thing; meanwhile they openly take aim at the age of the group, while claiming the LGBA supporters are being defensive.
Perhaps the best reply to this hypocritical ageism is this.
In all honesty they look like a bunch of okay people. Nice even.
They look like a random selection of British people in a cheery mood.
I just assumed he did it so his fans could get to work identifying people…
This is revealing:

O-Jo is saying anybody he or his mates don’t want to fuck should just die. These people are insufficiently pornified, not a pair of fake tits, a duck face, or a head tilt in the bunch.
While I wouldn’t count out misogyny and ageism from OJ, I would guess that the main complaint in this instance is that it’s a photo of a group of mostly “white” people.
