|She doesn’t, and has never actually given a shit about women. I’m so
|tired of hearing “but but she donates to women’s shelters”. But then
|she hyper fixates on a random woman that she thinks is
|trans(completely unfounded), instead of convicted child molester
|Steven van de Velde.
|u/ScaredyButtBananaRat - 1 month
|
|She's been muddying the waters for the last couple of years in the
|UK generally too. There was a consistent drum beat of her escalating
|and frustrating the situation as the (Tory) government were trying
|to create laws around women's spaces.  It's a complex debate even
|for empathetic people who are educated on the subject, so to have
|her ignorance in the background constantly positioning herself as a
|person of important platform and necessary influence was
|unproductive at best and deeply harmful at worst.  Such was her
|footprint the new Prime Minister met with her before taking office a
|few months ago in order to get her perspctive and implicit sign-off
|on his positions on "women's issues", aka transphobic (in outcome it
|not implicit) legislation. It's such a mess and I'm not sure what
|she feels she's gaining from it. Mental illness on display I
|suppose.

|Its telling that in her last harry lotter book, nothing
|fundamentally changed about the racist and biggotrd system. It
|deeply reflects her views in real life as well. In the en,
|Voldemort (trans people), was the great evil and once they were
|defeated, its business as usual. Forget the slave elves, wizard
|supremacy and racial tensions. The woman has always been deeply
|fucked
|u/roseofjuly - 1 month
|
|Uhh I think the slave elves were freed? Or at least one of them.
|She always painted the slave elf system as wrong and fucked up,
|and it was supposed to showcase that the wizard world was just
|as if not more fucked up than the human world. And like...of
|course it was business as usual. Just like the U.S. had a whole
|ass revolution but didn't abolish slavery until a hundred years
|later. She's a stupid fucking TERF but painting the world as it
|is isn't what makes her terrible.
|u/HunyBuns - 1 month
|
|Yeah, transphobia and feminism simply can't coexist- it's like
|trying to argue you're simply a xenophobe but would NEVER support
|racism. A core pillar of feminism is that women deserve the
|right to dress and behave however tf they want. Be vulgar, dress
|"unattractive", get tattoos, you're a person; not a wife for sale.
|Oh but- unless you dress manly, or have a deep voice, or bulky
|build, or want to go by other pronouns, or do anything we
|arbitrarily deem a sus- then you deserve corrective treatment you
|ill deviant.
|u/Epicsharkduck - 1 month
|
|It's because terfs, despite calling themselves feminists, typically
|don't actually care about women. It's just a vehicle for them to
|spread their hatred. Like when terfs were trying to prevent a trans
|woman from competing in a woman's chess tournament because they said
|she'd have an unfair advantage. It's misogyny (and often racism too,
|like in the case of Imane Khelif) dressed up in feminist language
|u/elbenji - 1 month

|she doesn't give a shit about women. she gives a shit about herself

|All JK had to do post Harry Potter was stfu and enjoy being a

|So she hates trans people more than she cares about everyone else?
|Usually with billionaires, the issue is them liking themselves
|more than they care about everyone else.
|u/interfail - 1 month
|
|She appears to care more about hating trans people than anything
|else in her life. She doesn't have a jetski, or an animal
|sanctuary, or a classic car collection or a podcast or whatever
|it is you'd do with your time if you became a billionaire. She
|just sits on Twitter all day, every day, searching for trans
|people with 5 followers to harass.
|u/darling_lycosidae - 1 month
|
|Her transphobia is definitely still narcissistic, she doesn't
|want to "share" her identity as a woman. At the end of the day
|it's just internalized misogyny (and racism) that made her mad
|that a ripped as fuck athlete didn't meet her beauty standards.
|u/GoldenEyeOfHorus - 1 month
|
|I will never understand this not wanting to "share"
|femininity. Is it a pie? Is there a sale? It's not running
|out, there's enough for everyone and then some that identifies
|as such.

|I used to think that she was the exception to "there are no good

|u/FllngCoconuts - 1 month
|
|Yvon Chouinard might be the exception. He was the founder of
|Patagonia and recently structured the company so that
|essentially all of its profits go to environmental charities.
|Apparently Forbes listed him as a billionaire because of
|Patagonia’s valuation and it pissed him off, so he found a way
|to give the company away without going public. The whole thing
|is fascinating and worth a read if you have time.

|u/elbenji - 1 month

|no, she was basically choosing to make a cheaper salary so

|u/Not_a__porn__account - 1 month

|She brags about how much she's worth when people come at her.

|
|The way I would absolutely fall off the grid if I had her kind of

|With me you'd know I would still be alive because it'd become a
|game for me to post DJ Khalad-esque videos where the recording
|starts with me doing something like riding my jetski. The very
|next post I'm in a haunted house, still in my swim trunks and life
|preserver. Acting like I don't know how I got to this place
|between my past video and this. It abruptly ends with some
|babaduke crank noises and it cuts off. It goes 3 days then my
|next post is just me promoting my new wizards of hogfort book and
|I never address the the others again. This cycle repeats as I use
|more of my wealth to setup fantastical scenarios for me to show up
|in every 3 to 6 months on social, then my new plug, then back to
|silence.
|u/JDLovesElliot - 1 month
|
|The problem with having that kind of money is that you have "tell
|people what to do" money, which then makes you believe that you're
|infallible because everyone does as you tell them. That kind of
|power is hard to give up.

|A quick Google search shows that there are over 3000 billionaires in
|the world. A decent majority of them aren't that media prominent. I
|could probably name about a dozen or so billionaires and they're
|just the ones that make a point of being in the news and/or being so

|with you. If I had that kind of wealth I'd just vanish and live my

|u/robbylet24 - 1 month
|
|She didn't even have to post anything. If I was her I would fuck off
|to a small island nation with attractive women and a rich national
|cuisine and no one would ever fucking hear from me again. With that
|much money you could live off of investments for the rest of your life
|and it would be very hard to spend even the percent you make a year.
|Somehow she decided that the best way to spend her money would be to
|live in a decaying Scottish castle and spend her time exactly like I
|do.

|At one point she was worth $1 billion. The whole fucking B. She
|could have paid 500 people to pretend to be on social media full time
|in her own private corner of the internet and said whatever she wanted
|without consequence for the rest of her life with that kind of money.
|It's astronomical amounts of money. She could have paid a team to live
|only to make sure she never sees a piece of media that talks about
|trans folks. She's just so full of hate and bullshit that she can't
|stop herself.
|u/RichardDucard - 1 month
|
|That's what I thought too for a while. Then I realized that if I had
|the platform and means, wouldn't I lobby and speak out for what I
|believed in and valued? And we do celebrate celebrities who speak out
|for values we agree with. She chose the wrong hill to die on, and
|she's using her platform to cause harm instead of good, but I can
|understand not just shutting up and enjoying your money and leaving
|the world to do what it wants. But again, she needs to reevaluate what
|she's using her platform for regardless of her intentions.

|She truly has a fascination with being a hateful bitch. Even if you

|JK Rowlings is a victim of sexual assault who hates men so much, she
|will attack whoever SHE thinks is a man. Her entire professional
|career (at least the successful part) she has been told what a
|wonderful and creative lens she views the world through... so you
|wonder now why she is incapable of seeing the world through any other?
|People need to understand the success and praise she received for
|Harry Potter has directly led to a person so stubborn and hateful that
|she is incapable of separating her trauma and bigotry from an entire
|vulnerable minority. The very idea that a (her words) biological
|male, could identify as someone more vulnerable than her, is an attack
|on the very fabric of her reality. This is a life or death fight for
|JK. It isn't some pass time, "Oh I will toss some hateful remarks out
|on social media". It is a fight for her most core beliefs. And that is
|what makes her particular level of ignorance and bigotry so dangerous.
|She legitimately believes herself to be the hero.

|u/DirtySilicon - 1 month
|
|That doesn't matter. She had already been saying inflammatory shit
|by that point, they didn't care. The movies were abandoned because
|they were bad, not because Rowling didn't believe in trans people.
|They even made a game that sold *really* fucking well. Like Again
|this isn't me supporting her view but you all really gotta realize
|the real world is fifty shades of gray. People still buy iPhones
|and Nikes knowing they are made by child labor, all it took was
|those companies saying "we are against child labor and we check
|our suppliers, believe us." Even blood diamonds, the
|"organization"' that certifies diamonds aren't blood diamonds is
|literally just made up of the companies that ship the diamonds and
|works on a believe us system. The difference between those
|instances and Rowling is that they got press coverage, most you're
|getting on Rowling's tweets are some digital articles. Does your
|Nestle chocolate bar taste any less sweet knowing child labor was
|involved in its sourcing?
|u/DeltaVZerda - 1 month
|
|Some of us stopped going to her movies and buying her games

|And that is good, that is really good, but you have to see

|despite poisoning babies and taking people's water, and

|standing on business but you are vastly outnumbered and that
|is the point of my comments. Edit: some grammar
|u/DeltaVZerda - 1 month
|
|The point of mine is that people like me aren't a tiny group
|of people, fair trade chocolatate is more than twice as
|large of a market as it was 5 years ago. Those large
|companies are actually losing money because of people taking
|moral opposition to them, and the damage they have already
|done to their brand will hurt them for a long time. Times
|are changing, and people are getting smarter about where
|there stuff comes from and what it costs the world. We're
|all going to have to change if we're going to have a world
|in the next century.
|u/DirtySilicon - 1 month
|
|That still isn't exactly stopping Nestle. I believe in the
|cause, but I'm also not delusional to think Nestle won't
|ride out not negotiating fairly until it's less profitable

|Except when she suddenly does a u turn in the HP books and ridicules

|Even in the books she's like "no not them tho." Her bigotry is on full
|display: -banker goblins (Jewish coded) -elves (love
|slavery/servitude, don't want freedom, the narrative treats Hermione
|condescendingly for trying to change the "natural order") -Rita
|Skeeter (described with transphobic language, frequently allusions to
|her large hands and jaw, fake hair, and propensity to change into

|Even if it's not deliberate, it's clear she holds disdain for a

|private areas in which the child protagonists are alone and

|By the Phelps thing they’re referring to the fact that he produces

|The Harry Potter books meant a lot to me. Ron's entire story of being
|the absolute most normal, basic person within the wizarding world and
|ending up getting the girl and saving the day in a very important way is
|something I really held on to. In most "chosen one" stories the chosen
|one can get it done by himself and all of his friends are just along for
|the ride but Harry was actually useless if it wasn't for Ron and
|Hermione. The fact those two became a couple felt great. And that's not
|even going in to the mistreatment of werewolves, minotaurs, house elves
|and all the other constant "it's okay to be yourself" stories that line
|the series. Over and over again self centered hateful adults ignore or
|abuse children and they repeatedly stood their ground that it was
|important to be yourself, to be free and to be kind. And it was written
|by such a hatefilled bitch who is more obsessed with strangers genitals
|than the most porn addicted basement dweller in the world. It hurt to
|let go of important stories but there's plenty of others out there for
|people to be inspired by. If she's going to ignore the lessons in her
|own story, she can't be helped.
