Much like my mother, she should have no access to phones or internet after a bottle of wine.

Nah, give her another bottle. Let it all come out. Ask some questions and get some real honest answers.

I don't know whether she is actually racist herself or not, but she is definitely willing to promote racists like Christopher Rufo and Matt Walsh so long as she sees them as being on her side regarding her hatred of trans people. On that basis I don't think it much matters what she actually believes, what's she doing is spreading racism

The last I heard, she's starting to associate with Nazis, so probably

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

How long before we start hearing her spout that old canard about "well, as much as I disagree with Nazis, at least they're willing to speak honestly about the threat of <insert libelled minority group here>"? I believe this naziwashing manner of argumentation is called the Sam Harris Code-Injection Exploit.

Or my personal favourite: "Given how much society and the media have lied about trans people being human beings, I've now started to question everything else I've been told, such as the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and the truth about the Holocaust".

I think Graham Linehan has actually said that about vaccines and climate change, that he now questions them because most of society doesn't agree with his vicious bigotry about trans people. JKR isn't far behind him.

Big time:

  • Asian character with a nonsense name that sounds like Ching Chong
  • black character Kingsley Shacklebolt (MLK Shackles)
  • Jewish character named Goldstein
  • Jewish stereotype goblins
  • Irish character who's obsessed with whiskey and explosives.
  • she went on Pottermore and explained that Skinwalkers are actually just misunderstood wizards, and the native american muggles were wrong to oppress the skinwalkers
  • her designs of the international magic schools are ignorant nonsense

An entire bottle of gin will unlock some very disgusting traits in most people.

This is such a low-effort shitpost. "Person I don't like probably thinks even worse thing than I've heard her say"

I think what the person on Twitter wrote is in response to Rowling going off on a rant about cisgender female boxer, Imane Khelif (from Algeria), in the Olympics, and insisting that she's a man. Rowling's tweet here. There's an article here that outlines the response from the Olympics, and the other female boxer, Italian boxer Angela Carini, who lost to Imane Khelif.

Carini, however, said to reporters after the match: “I wish her to carry on until the end and that she can be happy … I am not here to judge or pass judgment. If an athlete is this way, and in that sense it’s not right or it is right, it’s not up to me to decide.”

And as that article also notes:

It’s also worth noting that it is illegal to be transgender in Algeria – so to peddle the information that the country would send a trans athlete to compete in the Olympics would frankly be laughable if it wasn’t so maddening.

Edit: Forgot to link to the article.

I'd argue that TERF-ism, especially JKR's brand of it, has both classist and racist elements ingrained within it

The whole ideology is based around gatekeeping 'womanhood' to a single shared demographic experience, denying feminism to those outside of it

There are ways in which trans women have had differing experiences of femininity from cis women. But the same is true of black women of white women, etc

It might be explicitly anti-trans; but it's implicitly anti-in-group

If people could stop centering their entire lives around a mediocre piece of entertainment and letting themselves being spoonfed art in the form of capitalist "Franchises", maybe people like Rowling wouldnt get this much undeserved attention.

Are we sure JK is a terf? Is it possible it's actually Barty Crouch Jr., posting from her account? Has she been compulsively drinking from a flask in person?

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 year ago

We are sure she is TE. Not sure about the RF.
