The left has an odd relationship with ethical consumption and this situation is highlighting that quite strongly.


this is what happens when vegan ideology and trans rights are shaken up and poured into a glass while dozens stand silently at the bar afraid to say "i actually ordered a bud light".

i grew up a massive fan of JKR, i fell out of being a fan of hers before the trans issues, and not at all due to anything trans related.

i posted a page, u posted 2 youtube videos and hyperbolic labels. no need for me to respond if u cant even point to something out of step with reality.

she was mild, got an out of line amount of criticism and threats, she got worse, and she's still fairly mild. yet she's trans public enemy #1, rather than platforms with millions of viewers that spew seriously hateful stuff (crowder, matt walsh, gavin, blaire white, etc)


you posted an agreeable take on the current situation, together with a silly little downplaying misrepresentation of her stance concerning trans people. i told you the latter was quite the understatement and linked you to two videos going into detail about her stance, how she uses her platform, and who she allies with on the issue. obviously i can't force you to watch them, i can't make you overthink your apologetic and favourable stance towards her if you don't want to, i'm just telling you that it's not even close to the full truth, and that she is in fact a GINORMOUS, COLOSSAL, a MONUMENTAL bigot. xD

are the degenerates who bully people simply for playing a video game that is completely removed from J.K. Rowling other than being the creator of the IP not ginormous, colossal, and monomental bigots themselves?

I think it's what happens when critical takes get upvotes.

culture war 101:

this is just what happens when outrage media blows up every story about a minuscule minority of people in order to scare-monger about them, to fabricate a MASSIVE culture war battlefield over an issue that barely affects anyone who is now so up in arms about it.

cynical grifters pretend that creating a more inclusive and equal society with basic rights for everyone is somehow the end of the world, and simple-minded bigots swallow that shit, hook, line, and sinker - like they always did (suffragette movement, civil rights, gay rights...). imagine using your MASSIVE platform to push back against rights for minorities, and then getting your knickers in a twist over the backlash for it...

Nah, they're stable, wholesome individuals.

Wake up, cracks fingers, caps lock on, proceed to face roll your keyboard in someone's Twitch Chat.

that i can certainly agree is the leading causal factor.

the rise of hate watching content channels in the wake of the new Star Wars trilogy and Fantastic Beasts film, on the back of the mishandled Game of Thrones ending, has been a plague on society. as if we needed any more reason to be cynical.

no one has the right to make people say "men menstruate too". you have to get really loose with the idea of rights to claim JKR is "anti trans rights".

change my mind in a non 30 min youtube format if u like.
