JK Rowling wrote a whole book series about how bullying is a horrible and self-perpetuating cycle, and now spends most of her time bullying a marginalised group
I don’t know about that, she is being viciously attacked for having opinions that fall outside of the mainstream and is defending herself. Which is not the same as what the Republicans are doing.
Her opinions are old school mainstream. She’s against the culture shift and if she existed decades ago, she’s be more opening racist rather then transphobic.
No. You guys spend so much time and energy attacking any of your allies that do not align with you on every issue that you end up throwing them into the arms of the far right.
Meanwhile the ones actually sponsoring these attacks on the trans don’t give a shit when you attack them do they?
It’s only people on the left that actually care and are forced to go on the defensive from you.
Seriously you should delete your post. Cuz you are a big part of the problem here. JK Rowling is entitled to her own opinion and if you guys did not spend every waking moment attacking her for it she would not be talking about it all the time.
You wonder why the Republicans get so much play off of talking about the wolf mob? Because we are all associated with you.
“Alternative Facts” and opinions that do not correlate with reality (like the “opinion” that trans people or any other vulnerable group are in any way lesser beings or do not have the right to exist) are either mental derangement or straight up lies. and these lies are poisonous for communities and lead to to prejudice and violence, so they have to be called out and stopped whenever possible.
If you knew so much, how come you lost the fight for a trans rights? Something you are doing isn’t working. I think it is your spending all your energy attacking people that are naturally our allies for not conforming while the ones that need to be attacked are not. The Charlie Kirk is left on molested, but the JK Rowling who says she does not believe trans women or women gets unrelented hatred.
Or we could look at someone who points that out to you, would you attack for hate. You guys just lob ad hominem attackswith no respect to how accurate they are. That they put the person on the defensive is the point. Also though, if the right was popular in your circles, you would be doing all this from the right wing point of view, this is an excuse for you to Lynch someone online isn’t it? That is why everybody hates the so-called woke mob, that’s you!
I would normally agree with that, but in this case it’s really the only appropriate response. Did you even see the absolute idiocy khaleer was responding to? I mean, WTF, LOL.
Idiots will think that non idiotic things are idiotic I would add.
Such as that you guys are attacking people that will go on the defensive, that are not part of the actual problem, and ignore the people that are the actual problem.
In doing so you give the whole movement of bad name. That is the real WTF here, and it is ammunition for the far right.
Who gives a fuck if JK Rowling has a less than enlightened view on trans people? Like other than a passing fuck you on that JK rowling, is that what’s really important here?
Years now you guys have been just piling on, single-mindedly. Meanwhile you got this Kirk dick face on full-throated attacks on trans people, where are you on that huh? He doesn’t go on the defensive so you don’t attack him.

If money and fame didn’t equate political influence, then yeah, no-one would give a fuck about her personal opinions.
As it is though, she’s a billionaire who has helped fund and push through anti-trans (bathroom) legislation in the UK.
I read her posts about the issue and didn’t find them in and of themselves that problematic if that was just some person’s view. But, again, she’s an influential billionaire who wants to push through laws which actively endanger trans people.
I still like Harry Potter though, but I’m not gonna fund it in any way. And haven’t, for like 20 years.
I do not know all the ins and outs, I do know she also opposed Scotland going for Independence which I think was a big mistake for them not to do. She obviously does not have the best opinions or analysis. Still though I think the reaction to her has been outsized to the amount of influence she would have had if not for being constantly attacked.
These hedge fund douchebags quietly fund this stuff and cause way more damage than she does without mention for instance.
There are no shortage of villains, and she is rather small potatoes. Also though it throws people into the arms of the far right over attacking a popular persona. She would not be meeting with Far Right figures or sponsoring legislation if not for an outsized vicious attack against her shitty opinions.

She’s bringing her opinions to parliament and using them to kill people
What do you mean?
No.
Other people’s right to exist is not just “an opinion outside of the mainstream”, and she is not just quietly “having” these opinions.
Delete your post and don’t make anything like it again. Zero fucking tolerance for Nazis.
Edit: wait I just had a look and this is a 5-day old troll account posting nazi shit all over Lemmy. Reporting and blocking

Rowling likes to hang out with Nazis because they agree on trans rights and that’s more important to her than anything else

Just like yours.

What are you talking about? Cause it really sounds a lot like you are just full of shit.
Lol bro wtf
Nobody that starts to reply with WTF and LOL ever makes it worthwhile point.
k lol

JK Rowling backs protest over Scottish gender bill

Except worse because unlike the person in the comic, JKR actually has a lot of capital and influence.
Fuck and deride them all, don’t be a slouch, don’t turn a blind eye.
“It’s their fault that I hate them and actively fund legislation to make their existence harder and more dangerous. THEIR fault!”
Oh cmon you’re not even trying, Hector.
