All trannys are pedophiles.

BTW, natural disgust or hatred for degeneracy IS NOT A PHOBIA.

I'm fascinated by this leap in logic


Anyways, if there's one thing the left knows how to do it's to eat their own. I think there's an especially harsh stance on JK Rowling cuz people feel so betrayed. They simultaneously love what was offered to them what they were kids and hate what she believes as (young) adults. I'm glad someone linked her blog I never got a chance to see what she said in her own words - almost all the articles I came across when I was looking this up referenced her blog but never linked it.

she's just polite

There is a lot of logic to this boycott. This is not about JK Rowling the individual, this is about making a high profile example out of a famous, rich and influential person. Successfully turning JK Rowling and everything remotely associated with her radioactive would increase the power of the cancel culture movement.

Basically, what these activists and "trans allies" are trying to do is establish a social norm that any kind of speaking out against the trans cause is off limits and will turn you into a pariah, similar to racism. It's not about silencing one person per se, it's about creating a chilling effect that would silence countless prospective "transphobes". To quote Mao Zedong: "punish one, teach a hundred".

after watching the video i have to ask if i missed something. i wasnt aware of her association with lesbian feminists who are against broadly "trans women invading female spaces", but didnt hear any accusations of JKR actually advocating any law changes or rights removal of trans people, at least beyond the tweets she's fired off about locker rooms and women's domestic abuse shelters which seems specifically focused on full frontal nudity being her gripe. that and pre-teen hormone therapy and reassignment surgery concerns.

these kinds of stances are overhyped fear mongering based on rare or even embellished typifying cases, but it still seems like a leap to go with the HUGE BIGOT label for what's really someone posting mild facebook boomer memes with a large audience rather than 100 friends.

it just leads me to believe i was right, that her platform size and her wealth are what drives the labels, rather than her specific behavior. whereas i classify someone's labels by who they are, not how many people listen or how big their wallet is.

i guess to close i'd have to ask if i'm a person who's skeptical of but not opposed to hormone therapy and it's diagnosis, as well as reassignment surgery, am i also a HUGE BIGOT?

i guess we DO have vastly perspectives then, if you genuinely don't think that allying with people who are in opposition to gay and even women's rights, just to discriminate against trans rights, is a sign of extreme bigotry...

allying is a loose term here, that's why i asked if there's a timeline of her changing course or lobbying for something that would signal she's being influenced. i'm not saying she isn't, you are the company you keep to a degree.

but when i hear extreme bigotry i dont think of hanging up signs in a locker room, i think of emmett till, i think of the night of the long knives, matthew shepard.

and the fact that harsh labels now apply to people's tweets just tells me we think that strain of bigot is no longer a concern, that battle is won. i just personally reserve harsh labels for harsh people. and this conversation has told me a lot more about what we both find harsh than it has what JKR has actually done. ive basically just learned she had lunch with some bull dyke lesbians who are a part of the "LGB not LGBTQA+" movement, which doesnt shock me.

fanboys gonna fanboy... it's not like i haven't predicted you would never change your mind, right? well, they already came for women's rights in america, and when her new friends do the same in the UK, you will still be sitting there, downplaying her bigotry, contemplating if "massive" might not be too strong of a word - after all she claimed in that one tweet that she'd be marching with them, right? so what she does and who she platforms apparently doesn't matter...

First she came for the Hufflepuffs and I did not speak out, because I was not a Hufflepuff.

You're being dramatic.

1. ive been pro abortion rights previous to the scotus ruling and still am. and im pro on any of the feminist rights causes currently in the discussion.

2. i'm not downplaying her bigotry, i'm grading it. saying she's not a "huge bigot" and worthy of so much attention and ire doesnt mean that she can't be a bigot and worthy of some ire.

3. i'm adverse to the idea of problematic platforming, as ive always been consistent on, and would rather bigots have ample space to out themselves and make their bigotry level very clear. so far what ive seen from JKR hasnt risen to a level that i think its worthy of the ire she gets, that's really it lol.

as to the UK and US, what has been removed from women's rights in the US that you think is making it way into the UK anytime soon, specifically.

all along ive simply asked "what has she done to be worthy of this level of attention" not "what has she done that's even wrong". and you post like you're responding to the latter.
