Current Events > It's actually dizzying how far JK Rowling has gone

(+) Yeah! (+)

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)

Many people also agreed with Hitler. Does that make them right?

I wouldnt compare JK Rowling to a Nazi fascist who tried to take over the world and could have succeeded, but you do you.

"Many people are saying it" isn't exactly a great defense of transphobia.

Those people are wrong.

I agree.

Haunter12O posted...

I agree.

Just gonna defend them desperately for other reasons, completely unrelated?

We buy it.

Yeah because you're in denial about how similar the two are in regards to their beliefs.

No but my point is a lot of people are going to brush off any JK Rowling hate.

Uh, what?

You would, however, deflect and downplay her toxic and transphobic views. I wonder why?

I mean, we already know Rowling went on record claiming that Nazis didn't target trans people to try to cover that one of the first things Nazis did was target trans people.

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.

So, it seems rather strange to run in appealing to the numbers that might agree with her when those are the naratives they agree with.

On JK Rowling? I dont remember ever making any posts defending her.

I have made statements claiming Im a centrist. How is that promoting toxic Rowling views and transphobia? So what now, because my views arent on the left regarding certain issues Im now a Nazi?

And I actually did not know JK Rowling denied the holocaust. Thats fucked. But my statement merely made mention of the fact that there are many people that will continue to support her views. I dont agree with her views, but Im sure the Trump MAGA crowd does and unfortunately youre never going to change chud minds on these sort of things.

How is that transphobic.

Oh right you're going with the "listen I post bigoted things and mock trans and other lgbtq people all the time but listen that doesn't make me transphobic" argument

So mocking SJWs is mocking trans people. Riiight.

Youre grouping an Internet subculture (of rather irritating people, I might add, as SJWs to me are the ResetEra/Kotaku crowd) with a group of people who are often denied real world rights and freedoms. Thats kind of fucked.

Unironically, yes. It is.

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?

Huh she spends time shedding light on the fucked up shit that's been going on in the Middle East for millenia

I'll reiterate, JK Rowling talks about literally nothing else anymore. You can scroll through her twitter feed and she only has one thing to talk about and she's talking about it several times a day.

It'd be one thing if she was brigading on all the women's rights issues that are important, or discussing the war, or climate change, or I dunno, cats and dogs or whatever. Nah. Her only concern anymore is *checks notes* writing lists of trans people and calling them men.

That's pretty unhinged in my book, whatever your views.

I dont have Twitter or follow her tweets. I only know her for her anti-trans stance. The whole Holocaust denial thing is new to me. Sounds like shes turned into an irritating troll.

If you are mocking the concept of gender identity and talking about sjw tears im gonna assume you have very uninformed views on trans folk. Not definitive or whatever but a lot of red flags, yknow

Rowling engaging in weird holocaust denial as it applies to the LGBT people who were killed is an unsurprising development since she mostly posts all day.

Mocking SJWs is mocking non exist boogieman.

Nothing to get in trouble doing but why would you waste your time when SWJs are not real.

Nope, but I can read enough of your posts in the linked topic to know what you're about.

Yep. The cat dog thing was that. I dont feel great about making that joke. I thought it was funny at the time, and I got some reactions, which was the intent. But I regret it. It was immature and childish and I could see how it would offend many people, so for that I am sorry.

Tbh I think the holocaust denial thing is a bit of a stretch (she's not denying the holocaust happened), but I can see why it's basically six of one, half a dozen of the other as far as many are concerned.

She's literally denying the first step Hitler made.

You were just denying it was even mocking trans people like five minutes ago. And you just made said post 3 weeks ago. Does time move more quickly for you or something that you've apparently grown a great deal in these two timeframes?

Yes. That is the coded language you types use because you can't say the slurs you want to say.

She's denying some of the targets of the Holocaust. Which is still bad.

I never mocked trans people in this topic. I mocked SJWs.

Maybe this thread and some others over the last few weeks made me realize I should probably cool it with the shit posting.

Define "SJWs" for us. What is an "SJW"?

You denied the post I quoted was mocking trans people, when it was blatantly mocking trans people.
