When Joanne made the choice to publicise her bigotry, I made the choice, which was indeed a CHOICE, to allow her bigotry and wrongness and gross ideas to taint her work. As a human being, I do have a horse in this race because I live in the world. I will not support a person who wants my FRIENDS, my community members, to stop existing. I will not prioritize sickly comfortable bigotry and nostalgia over another human's right to exist and pursue happiness. That would be selfish. That would be wrong.

[@zestygurl]

Unfortunately, as a homosapian on this planet many people's idea of happiness happens to be hurting others in the process. We've seen this before. As a person who doesn't condone this my concerns are many learned to be enablers in a toxic system that was inherited. It's repulsive no matter the gender or ethnicity. This idea of happiness is subjective not everyone agrees what that looks like and many people get a rush from hurting others. Whole industry built around it called social media to the press. Journalistic integrity seems dead. I do support the LGBTQA+ how ever many letters (apparently many added) we share a planet briefly. Only briefly rather peacefully enjoy that while ensuring people get quality care especially medical globally regardless of their ethnicity or gender. JK has millions plenty yet, I see few in that celebrity bunch do anything to actually lessen suffering. Which means one day JK Rowlings words might just backfire when she is sick needing medical attention support herself. In a number of ways money doesn't always buy quality and it can't buy away people's hate. Something she isn't considering. None of them are pulling this shit.

Exactly! We all make choices. Her as a powerful woman of influence to spill her harmful ideas leveraging her platform and us as consumers of art to not consume nor support her art. If we can do that on every other aspect of life, we can do it with art. And we are not obligated to listen to her. Yeah, she could keep on shouting her bigoted ideas, but we have the liberty to not hear her. If I keep on offending people, they can turn their backs on me and that's ok. And that applies to her too. She might have been on her stardom tower for too long that she forgot, but it still applies to her.

I want him to be happy. I lost about have my family when one family member didn't want my child to bring his girlfriend, or let her son know that he was not a she anymore. That was it the final straw. I don't know how anyone can stop loving their own child just because they're finding their path in life and becoming who really makes them happy.

He has always known exactly what he wanted and never let anybody stop him. I'm extremely proud. I wish I had been that strong when I was younger because I was too afraid.

I read the books as they came out, and heavily sympathized with the house elves and Hermione. These were YA books read by a YA. I was the exact audience.

[@cazprescott9]

It seems like JK wanted us to believe that Hermione was an abolitionist and a feminist. JK said that she sees herself as Hermione (a Mary Sue?), but is really more like Ron and Bill, who hated goblins.

[@handanyldzhan9232]

NGL, it's in really bad taste. There's a reason even much better writers don't portray the slave races they create this way. JKR thought she knew better anyway and painted Hermione as in the wrong even after she suggests they might have been conditioned and the others can't really refute her. Does JKR explore that in a world of powerful jinxes, hexes, curses, artifacts and magical contracts? Of course not.

[@raylouis7013]

A friend of mine asked what she could do about wanting to replace her HP books after a fire. I found copies in brilliant condition at a second hand book sale fundraiser for a phone counselling hotline, that has recently announced a specialised LGBTQI service. Rowling doesn't get any money, my friend got a physical reminder of her childhood memories back (her late mother used to read them to her) and the money went to support the community... I call that a win. And I hope Rowling finds out that the community has benefited in some small way from her work.

[@Nerobyrne]

Damn, both helping your friends and supporting a queer-positive charity is amazing. Using her books to do it is even better. I for one am totally gonna play that new Harry Potter game. But, I'm gonna pay an .... undisclosed amount ... for it 😉

[@LaurenElizabethYT]

I have multiple queer friends who’ve told me that Harry Potter books were so important to them; both a gay guy and a trans woman, they both told me that they related to Harry, he wasn’t accepted by his family and was forced to live under the stairs, much like my friends were both unaccepted by their family, and felt forced to live “under the stairs” or in the closet. On one hand, it’s upsetting that a woman who helped a trans woman through her youth, is now a steaming transphobe. But also, I try to find some cynical joy in it knowing that Jk doesn’t support trans people, yet her book was helpful to a young trans girl.

[@KateCat420]

This! You can still take comfort in the books without supporting her. I'd even say that refusing yourself the comfort of those books because of what JK has done is giving her more power over you.

We were so wrong, I was so wrong I believe her pro-diversity rants were genuine, I am a black woman and I was so happy to see a black actress cast in the play, after all, for years I was bothered by the change in Ron's girlfriend and so many other things. Thinking she was trying to get better. With the film Fantastic Beasts, she already showed that her speech was not genuine and it only got worse later. Headcanons that made the cast more racially, sexually, gender-diverse were not uncommon. Tumblr works like that, fanfics too, so it was horrible to see her being a terf Also, supporting anti-LGBT, racist, sexist politicians, because obviously these conservatives support her terfism. And terfs throw everyone under the bus without thinking twice. For her to say that she is "disappointed", when she showed that she doesn't care about her formed fans at all, she gets the checks normally and everything is fine, JK has NO RIGHT to be disappointed! She propagates and finances hatred, WE'RE who have the right to feel disappointed. And we were and then we forgot about her, cuz it's not worth it.

I thought little of it, just to file away "Jessie Gender is a good egg" in my head, and then KZbin put you in my recommendations today. So I watched, and I was so glad that I did. First of all, your sweatshirt is spiffy AF. I am a casual Star Trek fan, I like to watch it when it's on, but I don't seek it out. When I was in college, Next Generation was the newest iteration (I am old!) and we would come together in the common room to watch it in my dorm. Excellent memories, and a great franchise for all sorts of reasons. Secondly, that paraphrased Fred speech was perfect and well performed. Good job on tying your thoughts together with the words of a story that still resonates. Thirdly, feminism is intersectional, and anyone who doesn't get that doesn't understand that freedom for all, equality, and equity, is key. I am a cisgender woman who stands proudly with her trans sisters and brothers (and all marginalized folks) to demand equal rights. For all. Full stop. Thank you for standing up for all of us.

Sad to say, Rowing is not the first author to do that for me. But my other favourite asshole authors died in real life decades ago. So their works live on, despite their author’s reputation. In a way, giving them the “benefit of the doubt” that they were bigots because their prejudices were simply more widespread at the time (racism, sexism etc.) Also helped that said asshole authors always at least tried to treat fans politely, if nothing else lol Rowling apparently can’t even do that. For shame! She’s become Voldemort before our very eyes! What a timeline to be alive in.

[@talbotbluechel2102]

In the Harry Potter books the reason that bigotry is wrong is because the bigots are factually incorrect about why they're bigoted. Muggle born wizards aren't actually worse at magic than wizard born, so it is wrong to be bigoted against muggle born. The problem is that not many people think like that, so the lesson they got was "bigotry is inherently wrong" not "bigotry is wrong as long as it's inaccurate." JKR's logic is consistent with the lesson in the books, she thinks that bigotry against trans people is factually correct (which it isn't), so she isn't a bad person in her mind for being bigoted against trans people.

I and many other women have been shamed by society for years, to be more like men, to not care about make up and looks, but trans women, they just seem to love it and embrace it in ways that I envy. I believe this is the thing that triggers JK to have this reaction, this unchecked envy that is running her twitter.

She is overexaggerating to make a point, namely how ridiculous burning her books is, especially since all of her work is about people fighting wizard-Hitler, even the Fantastic Beast films are about just that. I‘ve read some of her stuff and I honestly find most of her proper commentary reasonable. Like the question whether or not a trans-woman should go to the Ladies room, because that could open the door to predators (which doesn’t mean trans women are predators, in fact they need to be protected, too). Even if you don’t agree with her on that topic, it’s foolish to boycott her or burn her books; no it’s actually criminal. Nazis burned books of people they didn’t agree with. Burning books is always a really bad idea, even if it’s something as abominable as Mein Kampf. That’s the price of free speech. And freedom and freedom of speech is a value which I consider far more important than being inoffensive and polite.

I have a ton of Ravenclaw merch that I used to wear proudly. The house system may be logically flawed, but it was at least a fun way to interact with other fans and short hand to each other what our strengths or values were. When the drama surrounding Rowling's political views started to really ramp up, I began to question my own interaction with the Harry Potter franchise. I grew up on it, like many of us did, and it helped me find a love of reading. But in my adult life, that love began to falter simply because it contextualized some of the issues I had with the series and particular representations. I became a "casual fan" I suppose. But then I happened to tune into one of your gaming streams right around the time you and a friend of yours began talking about how Rowling's ideology directly affected your personal lives. I believe it was when Elden Ring first came out. Your friend made a comment, basically summarized as "If I see someone wearing a Harry Potter related shirt out in public, I have to assume they could harm me for my own safety." That sealed the deal for me. My love for the Harry Potter franchise is vastly outweighed by my love of other people, regardless of their situation, and my desire to assure them that I am a safe place for them to turn to. I never want anyone, stranger or friend, to feel like I could have any ill intent towards them. You are fighting a good fight, Jessie. I've valued your insights for quite some time now. Hearing your thoughts and rational arguments helps me as a cis individual to better understand aspects of the trans experience that I can then use to be a better ally to both my loved ones and strangers I meet everyday. You continue to teach me how to be more intentional in my allyship, how to discuss certain topics with empathy, when it's appropriate to come to the defense of those under fire and when to instead cheer for them while they fight their own battles.

His parents rolled their eyes and shook their head. I smiled at him and said, if you say that's your name, then that's who you are to me. And for the rest of the performance I called him Jay. His face lit up like the 4th of July. That one little Act of empathy and kindness, I could tell, meant a great deal to him. Even though his parents scowled at me throughout the performance. I didn't care.

I wish I could have red Pterry before HP, but sadly, learning English via HP is much more doable than via discworld.

I also am glad I had Pratchett at a young age. I remember when I started rereading his books as an adult and seeing all the wonderful ways they had affected who I am. The tragedy of the Harry Potter books is that they also had good stuff. The books certainly have problematic elements but they also have compassion, love, and fighting prejudice. It's just a shame that the author has proven time and time again that she doesn't share the best qualities of her characters. Especially since Harry Potter is a character so related to LGBT people. Growing up in a family that is hostile and abusive because of something you can't help and don't understand. Something that is intrinsically a part of you that your family thinks they can force out with cruelty. Pratchett is definitely a million times better. Which is why I just finished rereading Snuff yesterday. I can't remember the last time I reread HP but it was before JK publicly went totally Turf. GNU STP

The only moral way to consume Harry Potter content is to pirate it at this point. You're wonderful Jessie 💕

[@swishfish8858]

Piracy doesn't work, for one big reason. When you support a work of art, you're actually spending two types of currency; money and power. You're not just financially supporting the creator, but you're also supporting their influence by enjoying their work. By pirating the work, you're still supporting the work by continuing to intake it. You're sending the message that you love the work regardless of whether you're willing to pay for it. It gives the work, and the creator, the power over you and your desires. And that power is ultimately what JKR wants. People think money is everything, but they fail to realize that money is a stand-in for power. Money gives us the ability to obtain what we want, to go where we want, to do what we want, to tell others what to do. Money gives us power, but power is the real resource. Power is the end goal in every money-related scenario. It's all about power.

[@grungekitty77]

It's clear what happened. You can watch it on her Twitter timeline. It started exactly how you thought. JK didn't really know much about, or care much about trans people. But money insulates. Some Terfs got her ear. They deliberately started picking at the ways sexism has harmed and traumatized her and started directing her anger at trans people. When fans called her out for the terf things, her terf friends said "See!? You're being attacked! Again! It's all that sexism all over again! This is why we fight!" JK bought it and doubled down. Which led to more backlash, which lead to more victim complex they could foster in her, which led to more doubling down, etc etc. All the while JK's terf friends are isolating her even more than he money does, like a cult. JK does not talk to people that aren't terfs anymore unless she is "fighting back" or something. She's in an echo chamber, and the amount of money she has means nothing can force her out of it. She has the money to fire and avoid anyone that could challenge her worldview. And sadly, because she's such a piggybank, the terfs are VERY invested in keeping JK believing their rhetoric. I think it's very unique to JK's situation, but she's essentially found herself in a cult. Most terfs aren't as targeted or groomed as she is, because she had more to offer besides manpower. JK gives them money and celebrity endorsement. It's very sad. Not really fixable, because she won't listen to us and her handles won't let her if she tried. JK is also being victimized by terfs in a very ironic turn. None of it is an excuse for her to victimize others and she still let herself choose hate at so many junctions where she could've escaped. She's still "canceled" for what she's done and continues to do. But it is sad what happened to her.
