I'm not understanding the hate that people have for J.K. Rowling now

[parallax]

Usually I always laugh at celebrities whining about cancel culture but in JK Rowling 's case plenty of things caused me to worry on the direction that the left is taking because of trans issues.

The NY Times legit ran a fukking ad campaign titled "Imagining Harry Potter without its creator". Of course they use a fat black woman for the ad.

Here's the aricle: Harry Potter Fans Reimagine Their World Without Its Creator (Published 2020)

Notice that for an article that says that the fandom is divided, at no point do they interview fans who agree with her or have questions about trans issues.

Plenty of publications used the same tactics making her concerns seem transphobic.

For fukk's sake when there was the reunion for the HP movies she wasn't even invited, the woman who created this universe



Only recently did the tide somewhat shift, and only because of the MASSIVE success of Hogwarts Legacy which was supposed to be boycotted.

The charge that she’s a transphobe doesn’t square with her actual views.

Like plenty said in this thread, trans issues became a sort of culture war. And anyone paying a bit of attention towards the release of the game realised that the majority of people either don't give a fukk about trans issues or is not down with the "trans women are women narrative".

this is crazy. where does it stop? are they gonna go after hp lovecraft next?

whose advocating against anyones human rights ? These are rights they are making up in thin air. Trans women are NOT women. I dont personally care how delusional you are, I dont personally have to abide by your delusion.

They cant have kids, they dont produce ovaries. Nothing is stopping them from competing in sports, its just that they should participate in their rightful biology birthed right sports. JK Rowling never said she hates trannies, or that they shouldnt exist. Shes pro woman. That doesnt mean shes anti tranny. You are just too fukking stupid to tell the difference.


Can you post one quote from JK Rowling that says shes anti human rights for trannies? Just one. Should be easy since you here championing against her so hard for apparently this very reason. So post ONE

They just want people to bend to their will just because and if you say know they use their bs shaming tactics. Low key I think folks are starting to get tired of the trans stuff.

It's pretty simple: If you agree with her views, you don't think there's anything wrong with what she's saying. If you don't you'll feel she's a terrible person.

Because these days our economy is service based and algorithms are woven into everything, if you want to make money, you need to give the most extreme position on anything you're talking about to generate interest, engagement and grow your platform. Right wingers will frame the thing as cancel culture gone crazy, the left will frame the thing as literally leading to genocide.

Look no further than Andrew Tate for an example. To his fans, he's the last defender of masculinity and so they'll say and do anything to protect him. To his critics, he's a fascist who wants to turn women into chattle slaves. To a person who is uninterested in profiting from the discussion and has basic critical thinking and research skills: He's a guy who is trying to make money off men who are desperate for the two things society tells them they are worthless without: Female attention and money.

JK Rowling is someone who doesn't understand or really care to understand the transgender community. She's speaking on them at this point because it generates more engagement with her social media, and thus potential advertising money. The people angry at her know deep down that it's not that hard to just block her on social media and refuse to buy her books or anything with her name on it--but that doesn't build up their social media pages and help them make money so they have to talk about her to their audience who will tune in because rage is addictive.

It seems like this is everywhere because both sides of the argument need it to be so they can make money off you the person who will choose a side and give them your attention, attention is currency in the digital space.

Very well said. I wonder if this is a bubble that will eventually pop. All nuance and context is lost in discourse now. There's no money in trying to be civil and moderate

yes you do

 

[Michael's Black Son]

fukk it.

I don’t have a problem with her.

She got her bag, keeps eating off of it and is living better than 99.99999999% of her critics

 

[jdubnyce]

The irony because her husband has been photographed wearing a skirt on multiple occasions

Think he's Scottish
They wear kilts

 

[TallMan_J]

She's a millionaire who could be enjoying her life, but instead she chose to bash a marginalized group and amplify hatespeech and right wing narratives. fukk her

I read this terrible post, and of course, you’re the poster responsible. JK will remain a HUGE success and borderline billionaire, no matter how you and the mentally ill mafia feel. Those bully tactics won’t work. Cope.

 

[TallMan_J]

But they are tho, im a gay man, i support trans rights but they are WHOLLY fukkED UP for this, they are hiding behind the marginalized community excuse and saying anything they want with that

that woman has received CONSISTENT death threats since 2019

I think that you’re the first openly gay breh I’ve seen post on this board, and I’ve been posting since 2016 (there was a poster named @Spazzy that was openly Bi, I think). That’s brave of you to admit on here.


You’re absolutely right about the trans community and their bully tactics. I can’t stand those muthafukkas. This applies to the “If you don’t agree with me, you’re a facist Trump supporting Nazi!” rhetoric that the Far Left often likes to attempt. I’m not even mentioning their blatant hypocrisy regarding their many moronic ideologies. It’s all VERY off putting.

I fukking HATE “Leftists” and white “Liberals”.

I view it this way. If you know certain subjects upset people, and you choose to still say something, be prepared for the backlash. Just because something is true, doesn’t mean it needs to be said. If you can say whatever you want to say, everyone else can say what they want to say too. If they call you a bigot, then it’s their free speech too.
