My "It is baseless and disgusting to claim I am a Holocaust denier" shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt : the_dunk

the only reason she apologised was because JK Rowling threatened to sue her because the UK is a fucked up country where any nineteeneightyfour 1984 wrongspeak can get you taken to court and bled dry from legal fees under our fucked up libel laws

yeonmi-park In the authoritarian land of Britain, you can be hateful, but when someone calls you out, they can be silenced by threatening them with kangaroo trials. They even force you to apologize at the point of cancelling you and your career.

spoiler

Sorry for my poor attempt of a Park Yeonmi style comment.

Always double down.

"Yeah, you're not a holocaust denier, you're a holocaust supporter. One more word and I'm downgrading you to holocaust perpetrator."

Has anyone seen a picture of JK Rowling in the same room with Eva Braun?

I'm starting to get really suspicious.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Those two groups are damn near a circle anyway.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i mean it's the UK. if she didn't apologize they could have fined her for damages plus rowling's court fees.

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm unfamiliar with the UK, is saying something that's technically and colloquially accurate, and JKR's exact tweets being available to scrutinize, not a valid rebuttal of JKR's (libel/defmation/etc) claims?

[–] Leon_Frotsky@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it would be, and the journalist could plausibly win but only after an incredibly drawn out and expensive legal fight that would bleed most people dry long before it was over

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reminder that Johnny Depp lost his case against Amber Heard in England where he thought it'd be easier. You can openly publish thst Johnny Depp is a wife beater in england, the courts said so.

[–] AMBER_BOT@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Amber.

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

The journalist was forced to apologize under threat of legal sanction. Libel/defamation laws in the UK are absolutely unhinged, and heavily favor the "right" of rich people to not have mean things said about them by anyone. JKR loves using legal threats to silence all criticism of her. She sues people for making fun of her all the time.

Not enough people are saying it!

i-think-that

Also unrelated but the Spy x Family movie was great

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 64 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Didn't she write a book where the Good Team was going to stop the Bad Team from preventing the muggles from commiting WW2/the Holocaust?

[–] context@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

yeah exactly she doesn't deny it at all!

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Yes

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Screenplay - that's the meta plot of the Fantastic Beast movies.

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago

The promotional stuff looks like someone fed antisemitic trope into AI. Wild that anyone would approve of that

[–] Graphite22@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it would be funny if she got trapped in her castle searching for a cask of amontillado

Ok, i never seen any HP movies before so it it my first time seeing how the goblins looked there. And what the actual fuck? Those do not even resemble any goblins ever, those are short people with long noses. Literal nazi antisemic carricatures.

On an unrelated note heres some of the official Harry Potter promotional material:

those are real? Jesus Christ

[–] Leon_Frotsky@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yeah, they were adverts for the Harry Potter Experience exhibition expanding to include a whole section about gringotts bank, here's the article i got them from: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/film-tv/news/harry-potter-studio-tour-to-expand-to-include-gringotts-wizarding-bank/37760986.html

Jesus, for someone who hates antisemitism, she sure loves to defend holocaust denial and make fucking antisemitic depictions. And this is what the neoliberal media likes in Britain?! She's also a transphobic KKKunt as well as a KKKumSSKKKin. God, she's like fucking ISSn'trael like how she acts bigoted, and when called out, she shouts sexist or KKKancel KKKulture, but will happily use those against her adversaries. She actually needs the Communist treatment for TERFs and actual antisemites.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasn't her 'speaking out against anti-Semitism' just her being angry about Corbyn wanting to raise her taxes?

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but he was such an antisemite for checks notes considering Palestinians humans?

TERF island must be sunk.

[–] rio@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

The journalist should apologize for apologizing

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

It's like someone did a photorealistic rendering of "the happy merchant" and Rowling just went with it. Jesus fucking Christ.

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't she write some shitty book after Harry Potter where the plot is the good guys have to keep the villain from preventing the holocaust?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

That's the screenplay for the second Fantastic Beasts movie.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wait she actually uses the star of david in hp?

i never paid that much attention to that lib shit so i must have missed it

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IIRC it's on the floor of the goblin bank in one of the movies. It was already at the physical location and she probably wasn't involved with choosing it.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Helluva coincidence...
