Rowling Controversy: Theres A Disagreement Over Whos The Most Vulnerable The Harry Potter franchise has been entertaining audiences for decades, starting with J.K. Rowlings novels and growing into a behemoth property including movies, video games, theme parks, and stage plays. But theres also been some controversy surrounding the Wizarding World thanks to the authors comments/views about the transgender community. A number of figures from the franchise have joined in on the discourse, including Luna Lovegood actress Evanna Lynch. She recently spoke out about the Rowling controversy, saying theres a disagreement over whos the most vulnerable. Lets break it all down. The situations surrounding J.K. Rowling dates back to 2020, where she spoke in response to changing UK gender recognition laws, and the adoption of gender neutral spaces (including bathrooms). Her comments about sex and gender were seen by many as transphobic, and shes since doubled down on those opinions in recent years. Actress Evanna Lynch deleted Twitter after getting involved in the discourse, although shes once again weighed in during a conversation with The Telegraph. She seemingly defended Rowling, saying: I just felt that her character has always been to advocate for the most vulnerable members of society. The problem is that theres a disagreement over whos the most vulnerable. I do wish people would just give her more grace and listen to her. There you have it. It looks like Evanna Lynch has joined the likes of co-stars Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes with taking umbrage over how J.K. Rowling has been treated online. As the Luna Lovegood actress pointed out, Rowlings original comments came along with her accounts of domestic abuse and sexual assault. And its seemingly for this reason that the situation comes with so many complicated feelings for Lynch. Evanna Lynchs latest comments stand in juxtaposition to the stance taken by most of her Harry Potter peers. Most of the young cast has come out in support of the transgender community, including the trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. Fantastic Beasts star Eddie Redmayne did the same, as he continued to work with J.K. Rowling on that franchise (which looks like its over). As previously mentioned, Evanna Lynch had also weighed in on the controversy years ago via Twitter, before deactivating her account altogether. While saying that the subject of transgender rights is a complicated one that shouldnt be discussed flippantly, she also defended Rowlings character. In the same interview with The Telegraph, the 31 year-old actress addressed that original response, saying: I was very naive when I was dragged into that conversation. I didnt even know there were two sides. I had a view of, like, good and bad. I do have compassion for both sides of the argument. I know what it was like to be a teenager who hated my body so much I wanted to crawl out of my skin, so I have great compassion for trans people and I dont want to add to their pain. Of course, J.K. Rowling has since doubled down on her comments, and is seemingly unapologetic regarding her views on the trans community, and her legacy with fans. As a result, some lifelong fans have banned the Harry Potter franchise altogether, as it had historically been a safe space for outsiders and those who live in the margins of society. Rowling is seemingly not changing her views anytime soon, and shes expected to defend herself on her new podcast. Warner Bros. has also affirmed its commitment to further collaboration with the author, so theres going to be new Harry Potter content regardless... --- https://youtu.be/IrPWkIRWY9U <cite>WestOfDaRockies posted [p:971959972] in Luna Loveg...

Proto_Spark 03/05/23 1:02:36 PM #17:	I feel like any of the people who are actually supporting JK Rowling just see her crying about being a victim and kind of take her at face value, without really understanding that she's bringing all of this on herself and is the one actively attacking a minority group. Like you have a friend telling you about their bully, and then you see that people don't like them. But what you don't see is that people don't like your friend because they're actually just the most insufferable asshole and all of this is pretty well-deserved. And the friend is just crying about how they're the real victim here even though all of these problems are obviously self-inflicted. <cite>Proto_Spark posted [p:971971119] in Luna Loveg...
