J.K. Rowling Is So Transphobic Even Elon Musk Wants Her to Shut Up
“While I heartily agree with your points regarding sex/gender, may I suggest also posting interesting and positive content on other matters?”
This doesn't feel like news worth anyone's time..
idk, I think it's worth stopping to recognize how incredibly fucking weird it is how there's this whole segment of the population who spend an inordinate amount of their time and attention just absolutely obsessing over their hatred of trans people. Rowling is the public face of it but she's hardly alone.
I disagree. I think it's worth as much time as possible letting people know that they're reading books written by a bigot to their kids.
I don't think most people actually care. And if it doesn't affect the reading of the book, why should they care?
My shelves are filled with authors that have questionable views. I own some books by Marquis de Sade and Yukio Mishima and those authors are extremely controversial. I own a copy of Being and Time and Heidegger is associated with Anti-Semitism and Nazism. Agatha Christie's novels are filled with casual orientalism and racism, and Houellebecq is criticized for being a sexist Islamophobe whose stories have far-right extremist views. My shelves are filled with pessimists and misanthropists and I'm quite sure many of them would share Rowling's views on transgender issues, but I have no plans to get rid of those books.
I understand why someone no longer wants to read Rowling and essentially cancels her, but at the same time I wonder if cancelling authors is any different from banning books. Should we stop reading books because their authors were not good people or is there a difference between deceased authors and modern authors who are alive to profit from booksales? Do you separate the book from the writer or is the author's personal life relevant to you?
Fr, celeb gossip section is thataway 👉
Here's a thought: let's collectively not give either of these idiots any more attention 🙄
The good thing about JK Rowling going mad on transgender stuff is that my wife will no longer request we watch any more godawful Fantastic Beasts movies.
I watched the first one and thought it was bad but not that bad. I really should've stopped there. It's actually kind of impressive that such shitty writing can get that level of funding. I know that it's for kids, but have a little respect for your kids' intelligence, people!
Jesus Christ, she wrote a 700-word post about how trans women aren't women.
I realize she writes long books and I hate to agree with Elon but find another fucking subject.
Isn't one of Elon's kids transgender? I'm sure even the nazi bar owner is a bit concerned about his kid's safety at some point.
Edit after additional thought, my guess is Elon sees having a trans kid as a personal failure so the constant reminder probably tears up his incredibly fragile ego.
Isn't one of Elon's kids transgender
Yes and she disowned him pretty much the moment she turned 18.
He, having been extremely anti-trans ever since his ex left him for Chelsea Manning, would never defend his daughter or even stop misgendering her.
Just LEAVE PEOPLE THE FUCK ALONE ABOUT THEIR CHOICES, ITS NOT THAT HARD.
I don't see why people have to do this. Just leave people alone.
Surprising, given the vitriol, misinformation Space Karen spews whenever possible on the X platform. It’s amazing her toxic rhetoric is the one which makes that makes Space Karen uneasy. 🫢
I guess even bigots have a line in the sand. 🙃
We need to bring back the character limit
Is this a reprimand or an invitation to spew hate at other sections of society like him?
Agreed. This is more bullshit to keep us distracted. Don’t think any more of it and go do something you enjoy. (That goes for all of you!) :)
