Current Events > Can't imagine how JK Rowling is taking not being invited to the 20th anniversary

(+) Yeah! (+)

The woman delivered an entire generations creativity and wonder and is stricken down over some tweets that werent even bad to begin with. She couldve prettied them up for the crowd that likes to harp on semantics, but I never felt she needed to.

Mmmm no

I hope she feels miserable about it

But last week I was told that she had little or no involvement in the movies when people were talking about the Jewish goblins

She had a bigger role than Ian Hart

Yeah and Trump just had some treasonous tweets and only tried to have a small coup

What's the run down for those of us not in the know

Okay new account with a ton of posts.

shes a pretty unlikable person so its hard to feel too bad about her, but i do have sympathy for YA writers because internet YA fandoms are full of psycho adults, and shes old enough to have been writing before that was the case

JK Rowling's legacy will forever be the marketing of her product, not the quality or originality. She's a horrid writer lol

Rowling said there should be a distinction between trans-women and women. People didnt take kindly to that.

Okay old account with none. You got some sage wisdom or does your karma speak for itself?

She generalized trans women as rapists (and males).

No she isn't lol

Yes she is lol

I cant imagine how this multimillionaire (billionaire?) is going to cope with such a transgression

Lincoln isnt worthy of being on schools, why is she worthy of anything?

I wonder if she feels the same way Trump must feel whenever there is some event where all the ex-presidents are there, but he isn't invited.

Yes she is lol

No matter how often you say a lie, it will never make it true.

she invented basically nothing and took all her ideas from the most low-hanging, bottom-of-the-barrel mythology and folklore. Ooo a goblin. Ooo a griffin.

It's fantastic. Fantastically creative that she thought all that shit up.

Imagine thinking she's a bad writer lol. She's been praised by loads of critics, writers, and contemporaries. One thing that always stood out to me was when Stephen King compared JK and the Twilight author and basically said JK deserves her success bc she's actually a talented writer.

But I guess gamefaqs dweebs know better.

this account will last long

Well she explained it pretty clearly. If other pole want to read headlines instead of the actual quote, thats on them. Doubt they will post it here though.

I searched TERF and found it stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist. Meaning they are feminists, but exclude trans women.

I would assume a common TERF argument includes trans women have capabilities of most men which may provide advantage in physical activities.

What are Rowlings criticisms

I'm sure she's wiping her tears with all that money she has

Dont you dare bring sense into this argument

if you don't get why TERF is bad you don't support trans ppl at all

if you saw Rowlings tweets also you'd know she's very aggressive out of nowhere and treats all trans women as rapists, while claiming to understand "feminism" without ever understanding the basic main point of the last 30 years of feminism as well as the complex relationships between race, gender expression, sexual orientation, class, etc.

If you dont understand why women want the distinction to individualize their own struggles, you dont support womens rights.

Transwomen are women.

"So I want trans women to be safe. At the same time, I do not want to make natal girls and women less safe. When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels hes a woman and, as Ive said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside. That is the simple truth,"

She was implying men will fake being trans to get into bathrooms and assault women

Transwomen are women.

The distinction in modern days is too great to count both as indistinguishable. Maybe some day.

That's not really a fear of trans people. It's a fear of fake trans people lol

Which is absurd and stems from a fear of trans people. The idea that the only thing preventing sexual assault is the sign on the door is the stupidest premise ever put forth

Calling her pro-trans is like calling Plessy vs Ferguson pro-black

You don't see how this could put the seed of doubt in people's minds about someone claiming to be transgender? It's perpetuating a shitty, harmful stereotype that has no basis in reality and no statistical evidence for concern

The same can be said for The Witcher, but those books are fantastically written.

lol why does everyone hate her?

I don't think men are going to pretend to be women to gain access to public restrooms. That's silly. But you're calling her anti-trans when she's more worried about greater implications of inclusivity. Which is still bad, but it's different than what people say about her.

Is she paying for it though?

She did Hagrid dirty in those tweets
She's a garbage person

What if you listen to trans people on the issue? Like if trans people point out that her rhetoric is dangerous, you believe them?

Of course. Collateral consequences of her tweets are different than the intent of those tweets.
