She's a TERF and probably a diet racist.

"fascist" has been doing a lot of heavy lifting lately.

She's not fascist, no. In general, she's fairly left wing.

She's just a massive terf bigot though.

She's an innocent victim of the words that come out of her mouth and depictions she creates in her books.

I guess. I just mean that most of her stances do align with that, save for a few minority groups she happily shits on and abuses.

She's not a billionaire anymore because she donated enormous amounts of her wealth to charity.
Is anti gun
Is pro equal rights for homosexuals
Is a feminist
Despises Trump

She's left wing

Not defending her transphobia, but people get too hung up on what is or is not fascism. When police kill innocent civilians and walk, that's fascism.

She's a huge supporter of the Labour Party in the UK which if you don't know is the party of Trade Unions that oppose conservatives.

They're "left wing but not quite socialists" party. To put them into perspective, Bernie Sanders and AOC would not be considered fringe, radical or unusal if they were in the Labour party. They'd just be middle ground, middle of the road party members.

She called Obama extraordinary and compared Trump to Voldemort.

Yes which is kind of ironic because she she hates Putin and publicly talks shit about him, Russia's anti gay nonsense and the Ukraine invasion. But I think the Russian state media kept that part out.

More specifically she's a blairite, and Blair quite infamously represented a rightward shift within Labour that alienated a big chunk of leftist voters. She was quite a vocal opponent of Corbyn. The fact that she called Obama extraordinary should be evidence enough for anyone that she's not a leftist.

To my knowledge she's personal friends with a bunch of blairite, right-leaning Labour names. Which is why I started off by saying that it depends on your perspective. But really, I think the YouTuber Shaun has a very apt take here: she, and other liberals along with her, are not very different from conservatives. The difference is just what they want to conserve. Liberals are happy with how it is right now, and conservatives want to go back to some unspecified time in the past when things were good.

So... like 90% of planet Earth then?

Even liberals don't like Corbyn. He was a weak man with weird views. Not leadership material at all and the Labour Party knew it. Labour crumbled to pieces under him right at the time the right wing was getting more and more and more insane.

Like him or not, Blair wouldn't have been defeated and slapped around by Boris Johnson and May

"She's no different to conservatives except for the fact she's left wing."

Erm... ok

And Cheese is no different to a sponge except for the fact it's food. That's the entire difference dude.

You're talking like left wingers can't be bigots or racists. Just because most bigots and racists are right wing doesn't mean they all are. A left-wind dude can still be a dick to transgenders and in the UK most of them are.

Liberals want to change society, while conservatives want to stop the societal changes that are being made. Reactionaries are the ones that actively want to go back to the way it used to be.

She's in bed with so many of the religious fundamentalist groups that want to oppress women and LGBT people to the stone age, so yes, Rowling is very much a fascist. That's not even getting into the specifics of her bullshit arguments or how much she's prone to lying to justify oppressing trans people.

Liberals don't want systemic change, they're perfectly fine with the broad strokes (capitalism).

Yeah, because when you pretend to be into feminism as a way to spread hate to marginalized groups, you aren't a good feminist.

Worth including here that TERF is also a word made up by TERFs in order to make their opinions sound less ****.
