ChapotraphouseShe's not that important, her books aren't that good. She was propped up out of convenience and we live in a time where people's media judgement is the equivalent of Popular = Good.
They literally do not care what is written in there, they don't even read the books okay they watch the movies.
She is singlehandedly funding every single terf org in the UK and the UK is the epicenter of terfism in the rest of the world.
All of this shit collapses without her.
She could have just been the author of some of the most popular childrens’ books of all time but she got owned so hard on twitter that she just had to keep digging.
‘Everyone made fun of me for my comments on female genitalia and now I’m funding lynch mobs. Who’s laughing now?’. Hitler ass character arc from this clown
yeah well that may be so, but last time i talked about this to a "potterhead" i got told that; "the series was such a big thing for them and she's probably not even a transphobe you're just overreacting"
The same people who did knowingly overreact to Anita Sarkeesian, but wanted to make an example of her to show any would-be non-fascists who’s boss.

I still remember the times when Rowling was seen as a far-left liberal lunatic who promoted witchcraft through Harry Potter
Just the world being a reactionary hellscape as per usual
Still remember my aunt being like, "Pokémon is evil, it has evolution in it" when I was like 10
“Pokémon is evil, it has evolution in it”
Just like the real world!
Pokemon "being evil" is a classic. I remember that some time ago there was a moral panic around Huggy Wuggy too
Our school banned pokemon cards. Probably a good move cause we were totally gambling with them or beating each other up over them
I remember when I was volunteering to finish high school at my Catholic school (required to graduate) and so we helped stuff boxes for kids at samaritans purse (operation Christmas child, send Xmas gifts to kids in the developing world) and one thing we had to remove from donations was anything pokemon related because the owner of the foundation believed it was satanic or something.
So yeah lots of people really thought a Japanese game about collecting monsters was like evil incarnate.
Huggy Wuggy
I thought this was a joke but when i googled huggy wuggy the first "people also ask:" AI response was this
Edit: sorry i cut off the top but it was "is huggy wuggy good for kids"
Yea in my country there was a whole moral panic around it. There were psychologists appearing on TV saying that this is DISTORTING children's behaviour because it's associating hugs with horror and fear.
When I was a kid there was this weirdo that was always way too affectionate to the point all my friends hated how he would go around hugging everyone. It was dismissed by all our parents as him just being friendly.
Now nobody to my knowledge got abused by him other than awkward hugs at public gatherings.
Then one day I read in the local paper he got caught smoking meth in his van with a couple high school girls and I was like fuck yall I fuckin knew he was a creep.
I never liked hugging for decades because of that sick pos.
Essentially every single reactionary view has a billionaire in this position who is propping up the entire media landscape.
Prior to Rowling being in this position, it was Epstein.
It's way more than one billionaire, transphobia has substantial financial backing from basically every big fund for reactionary causes, from the Heritage foundation to Citizen Go or TFP (at this level, the Venn diagram between transphobia, homophobia and antifeminism is also basically a circle, actual TERFs in the historic sense of the term or transphobic cis gays only show up much further down the food chain). Many of the financers are individual billionaires like Rowling, Mercer or Malofeyev, but they also do more spread-out fundraising, Citizen Go being the prime example for that.
But yes, fascism is fully backed by capital, and that includes every fragment of reactionary ideology.
Prior to Rowling being in this position, it was Epstein.
She'll expand from fueling transphobia to sending children invitation letters to Little Saint Hogwarts before you know it.
Little Saint Hogwarts
Ah fuck someone chain you up as far from the lathe as possible.
I started looking up if there was a wizard school in the Caribbean within the boy wizard canon. Apparently there isn't, and the other schools are lazily named "wizard castle" or whatever Joanne punched into Google translate.
I hope comrade mold gets her soon.
So you're saying if she goes a whole culture war funding bubble goes pop
Just stating an observation
I’m not saying someone shouldn’t do it but they’ll find another billionaire to pick up the slack.
Elongated muskrat is already primed.
gotta make it look like an accident so nobody is motivated to step up
Make it look like mold poisoning, in and out job
I support the future of black mold
Or make it very obvious but get away clean.
Also, read The Blue Bird (Maeterlinck, 1908) and realise she's also, on top of everything else, a shameless plagiarist. An educated one, granted, 1908's Symbolism in theatre isn't exactly kindergarten entertainment today, but that just makes her a privileged plagiarist.
