Current Events » It's actually dizzying how far JK Rowling has gone
Like first it was just a few comments here and there. You could have chalked it up to second wave feminist not understanding the kids or something. But then she went down the slope.

And now her twitter is literally just that topic. Only that. Nothing else to talk about at all. And it's all day. She's just tweeting all day about it.

How does this happen to a person? Like do you need to give someone a billion dollars and then they go off the fucking deep end?

I can't help but wonder if money is the main reason for their face heel turn.

The only way she can get people to read the garbage she writes is if it's inflammatory anti-trans shit.

To me, this is the weirdest part. Like, with infinite money, you could do literally anything else at least some of the time, right?
Cuteness is justice! It's the law.
Her saying she wouldn't accept Daniel and Emma's apologies when they never even offered it was as delusional as it gets.

yeah, but she wants to do something that will get her some reactions.
twitter is just attention whoring for rich people.
There's a time and place for everything... but not now.

Not wanting all trans people to stop existing.
Re-open board 261.
it really is crazy to see, cuz like, she's an author of a popular YA book series, which got amplified due to the movies. she wasn't ever like, a political figure before. i don't think anyone asked or cared about her opinions on most of this.

then, she started doing like twitter retcons of making characters gay or whatever, i think, at one point, before taking the terf plunge lol. just a wild ride.

She's back to trending because a Jewish reporter yesterday posted on Twitter how they "retract their statement that Rowling is a Holocaust denier", which is pretty clear language to suggest that her legal team threatened libel.

Sooooo it's mega-trending that JK Rowling is a Holocaust denier. Mostly by people who aren't in the UK and not subject to their dumb libel laws.

Step outside the extreme pro-trans bubble for a few minutes and try to understand how sane people view this movement.

Being pro-trans is extreme now? Interesting take.

Holocaust denial comes in many forms, and Rowling objectively dabbled in it.

Running cover for hate speech with pedantry.

Ah so that's why my friend shared that Twitter link. All I could think at the time was "this is old news"

At least the rule changes will make it harder for people like post #17 to come back unless they already have an alt here.

Yes Rowling has implied trans people are sex offenders like Nazis do
I havent looked into Rowling specifically, but other famous people who descend the way Rowling has usually goes through a very specific pipeline.

They begin by making some off the cuff joke about trans people that is extremely bigoted, but due to straight rich person privilege they dont see it that way. Then when they get paid a back by the community, instead of doing self reflection, they see the pushback as the problem. Then a cycle begins of trying to go against the community and the community continuing. To push back until the celebrity thinks that it all there is to the community.

At that point they are gone and cant see the people they are targeting as human anymore. Its now a conspiracy to specifically target them. All because their hubris wouldnt let them do a little self reflection.

For people who haven't heard about the Holocaust denial thing, this was the interaction that kicked it off

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/31a9d17d.jpg

JKR telling someone "why didn't you check a source for this" about the Nazis destroying the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin, the world's first sexology institute which documented transgender people and similar matters. Something really easy to Google about.

Something Germany counts as holocaust denial if you deny it.

But we also need to consider she is rich so only fair she gets to threaten a jew into silence and retracting their comments

Yeah this was the start of it. Then when called out on it, she doubled down and was like "well actually'd" the whole thing.

It would have been one thing if she admitted the mistake, which was clearly based on the idea of denying the trans person she was replying to, but to continue on that line just to prove she isn't wrong is... well it's the classic Internet troll level at this point.

Rowling publicly allies with people who she knows, or has no excuse not to know, are connected with neo-Nazism or the extreme misogynist Christian right. If you have the patience to sit through a half-hour video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou_xvXJJk7k

She is also friends with men convicted of abuse to their partners and who have restraining orders against them.

Says how much she cares about women really.

That picture seems inaccurate. The Red guy caught him.
Reminds me of how like all Chapelle talks about now in his shows is trans people.

Like, rent free doesn't really begin to describe it.

It was a text edit to a right-winger comic, so there is going to inherently be some visual inaccuracies.

None of her opinions seem newly formed to me. I think she's always felt this way, she just used to care enough to keep it to herself.
I apologize for nothing!

She also has "fuck you" money, which always makes these types of people stop giving a shit about public perception.

It was never going to work. I think most people realized that. All the fans who have given up on her, already stopped supporting her. However most fans of the franchise don't care about her personal opinions and you are not going to change their mind.

Boycotts never work.

Unless they are purely self-focused. The second anybody tries to dictate the actions of another then it's doomed to fail.

I for one have found it really easy to not care about HL and only think about it when it gets brought up.

No. Harry Potter is now timeless, everyone knows about it. If you truly think JK Rowling will ever be more famous for her viewpoints then you need to take a break from the Internet.

(Also, many people agree with her viewpoints so I wouldnt say that everyone sees them as toxic)
