TransgenderWhat a shitty way to end a great run, John Lithgow...
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.
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.
Oh fuck, I didn't know THAT was on her list of insane takes.
Pick a random insane take, and she probably believes it. She really is a rubbish person. I say this as someone who LOVED HP.
No, I get it. I used to cosplay with a troupe. We did literary events at elementary schools in character to encourage kids to read.
I was so proud of that, until I found out the truth.
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?
It's not even about her views anymore, it's her actions
She does sue everyone
Is this variety being shit or are they scared that sex pest rowling will sue them?
Both of those things can be true
I assume that question wasn't meant to be quoted?
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.
jk rowling would probably raise hell and prevent the show/movie from being aired.
Okay. You still get paid, and now the terf's whole project is getting cancelled. Win/win!
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.
But don't tell anyone until it's released and is a huge success. Being sure to highlight all of JK's comments complimenting the cast.
You're ALLOWED to say NO?
-The Actors in this NEW Harry Potter series!
To be fair, they're probably not already established, and they're starving for work.
Yeah, John Lithgow and Nick Frost were really hoping for that breakout role
The child actors get a pass for now, everyone else, I've lost absolutely any respect for
Sigh.. I liked Lithgow. He really shouldn't need this with what he's already got. Yet here we are :(
And, he’s a terrible choice for that character, anyway. Not that I’d ever watch it.
I've seen at least one article where the actor states they're doing it out of love for the series even though they actually do despise JKs views.
Idk. Maybe find a different series to fall in love with.
I generally try not to use vernacular not of my generation, but...
based.
Better than cromulent
Embiggen your horizons.
It’s a perfectly cromulent word.
I want to throw food at y'all
You seen grocery prices lately?! I want in on this!
Cromulent

As one should
Down with terf JK Rowling trash!
"Yeah we did!" - own a small fib for clout
"no we didn't!" - risk ticking off the trans community FOREVER(it never washes off)
I know what I would've gone with.
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.
The bare minimum but good for them I suppose.
