Absolutely. Though I think there's much, much less numbness regarding media that profits bad people vs. food or technology or clothing that profits bad people. I'm not sure if that's fair but it makes sense, since the latter are practically necessary and fewer good alternatives exist. Like, lots of people intuitively understand the litmus test that exists with media strongly associated with Donald Trump or Ben Shapiro or whoever, but still seem baffled that JKR gets put in the same category even though she's exactly the same kind of person.

I think from my delving into the great moderate pool of whatever it is because most people don't view Rowling like that because trans issues are just not very well understood. There is a lot of ignorance out there and because so much of Rowling's problem is aimed at just a very specific, very small minority that if you are ignorant to things about that minority it is pretty easy to miss the memo entirely.

It's why leading with 'if you buy this game you are transphobic' as some did was pretty stupid. Like yea sure we all know there are a lot of bad people out there, but plenty just don't really delve into these things.

The invested usually vastly overestimate how much the uninvested think on these things.
