JK Rowling being a Holocaust denier wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card but in hindsight it probably should have been.

At this point I don’t care how much Harry Potter means to you, I don’t care if it saved your life, if you think having some dumb fucking House scarf from a made up fantasy series is more important than calling out a white supremacist, transphobic, ableist hag then YOU are part of the problem and you are just as bad as she is.

She Who Shall Not Be Named

When I was in second grade,

I read all your books in two weeks

I wanted to be like you

A writer renowned the world over

I would write letters to your characters,

It’s how I got my start

You inspired me,

Gave me joy,

Shaped me to be who I am

And then I grew up

And suddenly,

I am a monster

A 15 year old pervert who will sneak into restrooms

To leave tears and smashed innocence behind

When I am still fragile myself

A cup just waiting to be chipped away

And washed down the drain with blood

[thetisming]

my hot take is that some people who hate jkr do also let other people off the hook a lot easier

like you can say 'oh yeah i dont buy anything hp related because i hate jkr and i don't want my money to go to transphobia' but if you turn around and say you just bought lots of fnaf stuff it feels like it cancels out. like yeah you hate this one transphobe but what about the others. how much do you really care about our rights.

now i know it's different because jkr openly talks about terf stuff. so you shouldn't engage in her work! because she talks about it and even pushes this in her work! but even if people dont talk about it, but have still given money to transphobic charities, that is not okay.

you can pirate things. you can buy things second hand. please pirate things. please buy things second hand. im saying this as someone who does like fnaf btw. you can enjoy things. but do not give money to people who want to strip people of their rights, and will use your money to do that.

fuck jkr, fuck scott cawthon, fuck every rich creator that uses their profits to harm others

[logolepsy-babble]

Me from age old enough to understand transphobia to a few months ago: I will never EVER watch Harry Potter again, buy anything Harry Potter related, or even LOOK in the direction of Harry Potter because JK Rowling is a TERF.

Me now with a gigantic Marauders hyperfixation: I think we got lost in translation.

Then she fucking should

Can I just say this part of the casting call for the new golden trio of the Harry Potter reboot is fucking hilarious as shit for so many reasons???? For starting orders, JKR with diverse characters??? The jokes write themselves, really, because the same woman who had characters defend elf's being slaves to someone trying to free them and the same woman who can't even google Asian names and named a black character Kingsley Shacklebolt, being diverse in a reboot??? Let alone the same woman who wrote werewolf's as being a representation for AIDs and claimed a character who had been dead for a while by that point was gay the whole time but had chosen to stop being gay or at least never love someone else because his one love had been a villain being fine with new actors having sexualities that aren't straight??? And the same woman who throws up at the mere sight of a cis woman who isn't up to her standards of a woman and throws tantrums about trans people on a daily basis??? Potentially around kid actors who don't identify as cis??? And I cannot even recall if we had ANY character in the books who was disabled, so like, uh, I'm scared how JKR will tackle this one, and its not mentioned but religion is among those protected by law with casting and just, given JKR had every single character celebrate Christmas and confirmed only ONE Jewish student attended Hogwarts...yeah no.

jk rowling losing her marbles on twitter and going after david tennant has (based on pll in my life that ive spoken to) made people realize that “oh she really has gone down to rabbit hole and lost gourd” which great! more people seeing her as she is! but it also brought up the deep-seated rage that i felt a year ago when hogwarts legacy came out and trans people called for a boycott and to not support a game that would give rowling money, and so many streamers acted like they had been asked to kill their own mother. “noooo theres more important trans issues” who are you as a cisgender man to decide whats more important. who gave you the gall to talk over trans people and call yourself an ally. “actually im sticking it to jk rowling because im raise money for trans people” sticking it to her by giving her money?? allyship cant start and end at spite, you also have to care for who your supporting.

anyway, jk rowling launched a womens shelter that turns away trans women, donated 70k to an anti trans group, and has unashamedly been transphobic for years. and she makes royalties off hogwarts legacy. but lets hear about what the cis people think are “real trans issues”!!!

[saturnniidae]

I will never understand how people will agknowledge just how jk rowling is as a human being, and still like Harry potter. You can't fucking "separate the art from the artist" when the 'art' is filled with antisemitism, racism transphobia and more! You can't even think about doing that when the 'artist' herself is a fucking HOLOCAUST DENIER.

(Also it's even more pathetic considering jk rowling is actually a shit writer. Like let's be honest, everything people love about Harry potter is from the movies. Every bit of personality Harry had was from his actors portrayal of him)

These people don't care that they're clinging onto the mediocre work of a holocaust denier that wishes death to trans people because they're too wrapped up in nostalgia or whatever. It's pathetic and honestly disgusting.

And it speaks volumes how pretty much all the people I see behaving this was are white

[labyrinthhofmymind]

god jk rowling sucks please send her to jail

[sofargoneao3]

jkr shut the fuck up challenge

[angeryyaz]

I wonder if european people are mad at jk rowling for butchering their folklore as well. Usually we discuss her shitty world building in terms of her writing itself or disrespect of non western cultures, but i just went into a "wait, what are veela actually" rabbit hole, and fuck, if i was slavic i would be livid that she took this creature and reduced it to "uuuh they're pretty and white unless they get angry, then they're ugly"

I only took a cursory look at the folklore of the vila, but they seen to have such cool lore that could have been incorporated into fleur to hash out her character and expand on how non-human beings are seen/operate in the harry potter universe

But nah, instead lets vastly reduce or not mention the aspects that make them so interesting, and just turn them into another illustration of jkr's apparent fear/resentment of femininity and her tendency to take centuries old mythology and make them uninsteresting one line notes to forget about in the next page (or chapter if you're lucky)

hunter schafer as Pandora Rosier

that will be all.

[reggie-the-dyke]

i have Vastly different interests than all of my moots 🥲

by interests i mean singular interest. and by that i mean the marauders

i’m sorry you all have to witness the dead gay wizard brainrot

[le-suspect]

i hate the harry potter series reboot, but i also hate the predominant reason why most people hate it. 'i won't support it bc daniel, emma and rupert will always be the trio for me', 'i won't support it bc i want a show about the marauders'. thats cool but i thought we weren't gonna support it bc she's transphobic.
