I thought coathanger was female from the first episode: nothing to do with crotch-fixation or any subsequent developments. More something that chimed with the way the women wrote in the room compared to the men. Whether I’m right or not is anyone’s guess.
As to being ‘scorned’ I’d say coathanger, although ascerbic, writes very differently from scorned women in JC and presents Jokecliffe as a character in an established fiction. Joker himself, on here and in the room, does seem to aim direct insults at the same few people, so perhaps not a woman (for all I know) but more the kind of pointed behaviour of the scorned.
Coathanger’s earlier posts covered a wide range of JC characters, the focus on Joker is relatively recent and has been explained in terms of anger about Joker’s reported behaviour. But I agree with Panda in that for me the writing doesn’t have its original spark, but then it’s no longer something new and I’m not big on nether regions in fiction.
“Difficult second album syndrome” perhaps?
Having been on the end of Joker’s ire, I can appreciate what might happen when someone doesn’t take a step back from anger. I hope coathanger, whoever he/she is, continues to write as I still find it compulsive.
