MODERATORS
The fact is, most Harry Potter fans neither know nor care about any of the personal exploits of the author.
The spaces you hang out in obviously make a big deal of these and broadcast them consistently, I'm sure. But it's clear you spend enough time in them that you've lost perspective in how things are in the 'world at large'.
Although it's very obvious and "not hidden", to you, it wouldn't even have to be hidden from the average Harry Potter fan, because they make literally zero effort to seek it out. They simply don't care about anything she does, outside of writing the books they like to read.
P.S. The way you worded it in a previous comment implies heavily that a lack of explicit criticism of Rowling is equivalent to "support". It isn't.
Literally just look at JK Rowling's twitter feed on any given day, it's not a secret, you're just not paying attention bc you're not a trans ally.
You're projecting your terminal online-ness onto the general population. The vast, vast majority of Harry Potter, or any book series, fans, pay z-e-r-o attention to the personal Twitter account of the author.
Accusing that huge majority of being transphobic just for that is moronic, full stop.
"you're just not paying attention because you're not a trans ally"
yeah so basically anyone paying attention to trans issues knows about JKR. I don't think I said all harry potter fans are transphobic, so that was a fun little thing for you to make up I guess, but I would say that fans of Harry Potter who don't know the controversy are not trans allies. She is the anti-trans celebrity. Her letter was huge news.
Harry Potter fans have likely at least seen one or two hate comments about the video game or something. Stop bring so disingenuous... most people are online regularly ... particularly the generation of Harry Potter fans. You don't need to be terminally online to have heard about the wealthiest author in the world turning into the most prominent anti-trans advocate.
