I am not the only suspect in this curious affair. Twitter users have speculated that the account is run by Chris Morris, Ricky Gervais, or even the American conservative Ann Coulter. There are now rumours that Rosamund Urwin is the real Titania McGrath, and that her article in The Sunday Times was an ingenious exercise in misdirection. And on Friday, The Times published an exposé in which the satirist Lisa Graves was named as the principal culprit....UPDATE: "Titania McGrath: 'Queen of woke Twitter culture' sheds his online mask."
I ask Lisa to explain the purpose of Titania’s satire and why she thinks it has become so popular. ‘Well, I am not Titania, like I said, but.... [s]ome really ridiculous things are happening right now in the name of progressiveness, and if you speak out against it, you could get suspended or shamed into apologising for wrongthink. By this, I’m not saying we should all go around being genuinely horrible to others, but that we should be allowed to question and debate issues without being chastised and chased by an internet pitchfork mob. The best way to deal with this sort of thing, the most effective way to fight back, is with humour. Parody has always been an incredibly valuable tool....’
I tell Lisa that I have been accused of ‘punching down’ when I ridicule this ‘woke culture’ in my stand-up, even though it now represents the powerful establishment position. ‘It is not the vulnerable groups that are being mocked’, Lisa says. ‘It is the woke idiots who think they are on some kind of crusade to change the world, when in fact all they are doing is patronising the fuck out of everyone around them and being generally unpleasant while sipping their oatmeal and cardamom chia smoothies and wanking on about how shit capitalism is from their MacBook Pros in Starbucks.’...

"Given that I am not a blonde, 24-year-old woman who identifies as a polyracial ecosexual, I was a little surprised by the suggestion that I was the same person. "
Writes Andrew Doyle (at Spiked) — noting that he's accused of being the man (woman??) behind Titania McGrath, the name on a very funny "radical feminist" Twitter feed and a new book called "Woke: A Guide to Social Justice."

It's not Ann Coulter. Too many taboo areas.
She is not Laslo.
"I'm Titania!"
Titania is a bit of a one-trick pony. She was very entertaining for a while but the novelty is wearing off. I can't imagine reading a whole book of her stuff.
This is the era of "that's not funny."
Maybe it is time to revisit the Tracey Ullman "Fuck off Jaime" skit from past posts.
Wait - oatmeal smoothies? Is that a thing?

That made my morning.
I'd say it's a guy. Too much self-awareness for a woman, as the probabilities go.
I thought Titania was a guy named "Elf-something".
‘It is not the vulnerable groups that are being mocked’,
That's a relief!
For a moment there I was afraid that someone was not being politically correct!
"Vulnerable groups" my ass.

I'm a polyracial ecosexual Too!
We are all polyracial ecosexuals now.
Her quick bio--
"Rosamund Urwin is a cookie shaped by the same cutter as many of the typists clogging the offices of British and American media offices. Expensively educated, over 30 and childless, Urwin is paid to write pointless diatribes on the injustices inherent in having a cunt."
A vulnerable group walks into a bar and sits down with their drinks.
After a while they hear a high-pitched voice coming from somewhere.
"Hey, I.C.E. is just like the Gestapo" the voice says.
The vulnerable group looks around, but they can't see where the voice is coming from. After a while a different tiny voice speaks up.
"Hey, hey, sisters! Smash the patriarchy!"
Again they look around, but all they can see is the bartender taking another order, so they go back to there drinks.
"Hey bros! Whitey be keepin' you down!" it says to them.
The vulnerable group has had enough of the funny voices at this point and they call over the bartender and ask him, "What are these squeaky voices we keep hearing?"
"Oh, those are the peanuts." he says. "They’re complimentary."
I believe in Titania!
Its not Coulter, she doesn't need a fake identify and has enough to do with her books, talk shows and her own column/twitter accounts.
Its a Brit, you can tell from the words they use. I like Titania (tits + inane) but what about "McWrath" instead "McGrath"?
BTW, the liberal/Left response to every conservative attack is to call the Conservative "Racist" "antisemite" "Homophobe" or "White Nationalist"
Get used to it and come up with better response than "I'm against X more than Liberals are" - that just encourages them to call you more names.

But a genuine troll is one who baits his or her audience, who lures them into a state of credulity, while at the same time signalling the absurdity of their own position.
I wouldn't say that's the ideal definition of a troll. But it's a description of a good troll. The difficult part is the credulity thing. Anyone can maintain a mask for a little while, but if a person keeps posting on the same account sooner or later people figure out it's a troll. It's why sock puppets are such a powerful tool of the troll.
‘It is not the vulnerable groups that are being mocked’, Lisa says. ‘It is the woke idiots...
Yup. When white liberals say they're protecting "marginalized groups," they are actually using those groups to shield themselves from criticism.
I thought Titania was a reference to A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Still a British reference, tho.'
Oh, ok, I am Titania!
Methought I was enamoured of an ass.
I was once in a production of MSND where Titania misspoke her line as "Methought I was enamored of your ass."
I am almost afraid to ask but WTF is an ecosexual?
"When white liberals say they're protecting 'marginalized groups', they are actually using those groups to shield themselves from criticism."
Exactly. I've found that the level of douchebaggery in a liberal's personal life can be surmised by the time and energy they spend Virtue Signaling on behalf of marginalized groups.
