#just another day wishing JK 'Just Kidding' Rowling would shut the fuck up

[screamingshark]

I read j k Rowling had no input on the new game. Also she replied to that woman once, a pat reply to her tweeting support at her. It’s not that unusual for celebrities or other high follower count people to miss who they are replying to and i can find similar for everyone including good people. Just wanting to be against misinfo because it makes our own side criticizing her for real shit look weaker

I understand where you're coming from with this ask, but I do want to point to the top part of it. It frankly does not matter if she has any input in the game or not (which, considering how white-knuckled she is on every other aspect of Harry Potter, I highly doubt there isn't at least some input coming from her)

The fact remains that this is her universe, her IP, and the game is entirely based on it. She is 100% responsible for this depiction of Goblins and how heavily it leans on anti-semitism, how house-elves are a glorification of slavery cause they "love being slaves", the werewolves being AIDS/HIV metaphors like there is just so much nasty stuff in there that is impossible to ignore once you see it.

So, sure, she has "no-input", but even if that is true, its still a deeply messed up premise to focus a game on! They could have literally made that game a hogwarts simulator and people would have eaten it up but no, it's about a Goblin rebellion that you have to oppress. You have to put Goblins back in their place, like come on!?

To address the rest of your ask - you are denying that JK Rowling doesn't know exactly what she is doing. If that tweet had been at some random individual then sure, it may have been a misfire, but this is a campaign director for a huge conservative advocacy group. (I'm assuming you are talking about the tweet to Caroline Farrow as you did not specify)

I found that tweet on her twitter, it's still there despite the number of people rightfully calling her out for supporting a homophobic nightmare like Caroline Farrow so i'm wondering what you mean by misinformation? Is it misinformation to call her homophobic? Is it misinfo because you think she "may have been mistaken"? I'm confused because when I look at this tweet I see JK Rowling thanking a homophobe and it falls in line with her actions considering she just recently went off on the south wales police LGBT+ Network doing outreach after an incredibly violent homophobic murder happened.

I think it's time we stopped pretending that this ends at Transphobia. While it plays a huge role in her deranged tweet-fests it is very much not the only thing she condemns. JK Rowling is a right wing conservative dream. She has the admirations of millions despite being a homophobic, transphobic, anti-semitic, racist drone of a woman. She makes billions of dollars off liberal millennials who "can't bare to let go of their precious comfort books/merchandise/theme park visits/movies" and she uses that money to fund laws that ruin peoples lives.

Hmm, I went on a bit of a ramble but if anything I just said proves to be "misinfo" as you say then I will apologize and delete anything that is misinformation.

TLDR: As it stands, it is not misinfomation to call her out for these things. She is responsible for the game regardless of input and i don't feel it's misinformation to call her a homophobic, transphobic, racist anti-semite based on her tweets and the books she has written/responded to.
