    The reason? Rowling’s views on trans persons’ rights, which many have alleged are transphobic.

    Excuse me, what? What the hell do you mean with "many have alleged are transphobic."?!?!

    They are not “allegedly” transphobic, you shitheads. They ARE transphobic because she is a transphobic piece of shit.

      She literally said “Trans women aren’t women”, you can’t get more transphobic than that.

        Yeah, many people still not realise this but press not adding “allegedly” open them up to lawsuit. Until it’s proven in court they definitely did it, adding “allegedly” is the only way a press get to report on the thing.

          A big reason no one from the UK criticizes Rowling, besides the fact that she’s so beloved on TERF Island, is because the UK has a very low standard for what counts as defamation. Best policy to avoid getting sued is the “If you can’t say something nice…” approach

    As a Harry Potter fan that would love to see this, this is absolutely the right call. Fuck her.
