-The Actors in this NEW Harry Potter series!
also because it’s a shit idea and rowling is a holocaust denying piece of nazi shit
I’d like a source on this. Not because I doubt it but because I want to compile a list that I can show people who thinks her shittyness isn’t so bad.
Edit: Fuck it, post proof of all the awful shit she’s said. Let’s make a hate thread.
Appreciated. Keep it coming. I wish to learn.
Learning to hate is easy. Everyone is doing it. Being a peaceful person is very rare.
Hating evil and being peaceful are not mutually exclusive.
Username checks out.
Rowling does not deserve peace. She’s broken the social contract.
She’s broken the agreement between the bourgeoisie and the state that the state will use violence to defend bourgeois privileges/rights in exchange for the bourgeoisie accepting certain obligations/civic duties?
Didn’t that old thing get put out of its misery by Margaret Thatcher almost 50 years ago?
Loving people without hating the ones that hurt them is worthless.
Get a job
It generally agrees with my views of Rowling, but is there anything beyond that single tweet to further flesh it out?
She could easily back out of that statement by saying “the fever dream” she’s referring to is the assertion she backs Nazi gender theories / policy instead of that they don’t do that.
I’m more apt to believe she’d deny it, but … skeptics and all.
When others provided her with sources, she responded by linking to an anti-trans account calling the first transgender woman to undergo gender reassignment surgery in Germany to a "troubled male.” The thread in question also denied that transgender people were targeted by the Holocaust.
Come on, it’s literally in the text
Recently watched this really good video essay about the all the other things that are wrong with the Harry Potter books (e.g. fat shaming) and how it’s informed by her neoliberal ideology.
Saving this for later. Thank you!

I don’t know about Rowling specifically, but an unsurprising number of TERFs are real buddy buddies with far right groups, and this definitely includes people in Rowling’s orbit.
Forgot the names, sorry, because this is one of the sad reality things you don’t want to dwell too much on or you’ll just get permanently sad. These people are miserable.

Down with terf JK Rowling trash!
Should have accepted it, and then used only trans people for the entire cast. Not a single cisgender person on screen for the entire runtime.
Except JK Rowling is an executive producer on the show and would probably use her vast resources to destroy their lives and force HBO to reshoot with a new cast.
Removed by mod
Okay. You still get paid, and now the terf’s whole project is getting cancelled. Win/win!
The reason? Rowling’s views on trans persons’ rights, which many have alleged are transphobic.
Is this variety being shit or are they scared that sex pest rowling will sue them? Why the fence sitting?Is this variety being shit or are they scared that sex pest rowling will sue them?
Both of those things can be true
It’s not even about her views anymore, it’s her actions
She does sue everyone
As one should
The bare minimum but good for them I suppose.
It’s probably just because I’ve got the brightness all the way down and a red light filter going, but that picture of Rowling looks to have a 5 o’clock shadow.
Eh, she’s a bigot and a nazi-adjacent sympathizer, no need to attack her appearance or gender presentation. We can do better than that. Like she’s an evil piece of shit billionaire who uses her power for evil, attacking normal individuals, spreading hate and intellectual and ethical negligence under the guise of helping women, is a hack of a writer who stole all of her work and then inserted noxious bigotry and awful stereotypes of all kinds, racist, sexist, xenophobic, antisemitic, homophobic, fatphobic, fascist, and abilist rhetoric into children’s novels, used that to become a billionaire, and then turned her heart even darker and betrayed everybody.
I wasn’t attacking, just pointing out.
I would love it if JK Rowling had a change of heart, just a real coming to God moment, where she realizes that marginalizing people is wrong regardless of how badly she wanted to be her father’s son.
Since that will never happen because she’s a cold unfeeling creature incapable of empathy, I hope she drops dead.
Why can I enjoy Call of Cthulhu but not Harry Potter? HP Lovecraft isn’t getting paid every time “Cthulhu” shows up in pop culture. Remember, you cannot separate art from the artist as long as the artist is still getting paid.
