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.
She'll expand from fueling transphobia to sending children invitation letters to Little Saint Hogwarts before you know it.
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.
There is one Middle Eastern Wizarding school, whose students spread all the way to North Africa.
Imagine being a Morroccan wizard, having to go through the world's largest desert and a few active wars to go to school. When the French wizard school is RIGHT THERE.
Is it in occupied Palestine, because I could imagine it being there
