#people treat her worse than actual violent criminals with a track record for abusing women and children

[blonkk]

people treat jk rowling worse than literal pedophiles and r*pists because she said something controversial

like people HATE her and if you ask why they just bluster about how she started a hate movement and is a terf and all this insane shit....but more than half of them don’t even know what she said, they didn’t even read her letter or bother going to her twitter to see what she said. and she has gotten thousands of letters and messages saying she deserves to die and be r*ped

meanwhile prominent men are pretty much allowed to do whatever they very well please. cancel culture doesn’t even touch them. kobe bryant is dead, and no one was insensitive enough to bring up his pretty concerning assault allegation. cristiano rinaldo is one of the most beloved athletes in the world and no one talks ab his sexual assault allegation. chris brown still makes music. sean penn is known for being violent. mark wahlberg is a known racist who has been charged with assault. roman polanski escaped to france to avoid his disgusting pedophilic assault charges. bill cosby is a free man. these men are still loved, supported, and can have public careers without fearing any sort of abuse from the public or institutions. and these dudes don’t even scrape the tip of the iceberg in regards to abusive, dangerous men in the public eye. 

this isn’t about whether you agree with jkr or not, it’s about the swiftness with which society as a whole will react to women’s failure to comply. women are the primary target of male abuse, of the abusers listed above. but somehow her saying something is equivalent to patterns of violence, assault, what have you. 

we see justin bieber post on instagram blubbering ab how chris brown is actually a great guy,  and there is no cultural movement aimed at silencing him. people like kodak black and tory lanez are defended even though like...there’s no denying their abuse. no one in the industry has criticized them or pushed back against their presence in the industry. 

but now jkr is not even going to be included in the reunion of the movies which she wrote the books for, produced, and worked at for over a decade. all the people involved in the harry potter franchise have been steadfast in showing that they do not associate with her and that they believe she is a villain. i mean, come on....anyone who has been a fan of this woman knows that her track record is pretty clean - she’s always been an outspoken advocate for LGBT rights. she said something that some people don’t agree with, and if you take 5 seconds to think about it instead of being reactionary, it wasn’t transphobic in nature. she’s not a treacherous monster. but i guess being a woman who causes a stir is worse than being a literal r*pist or serial abuser! as is evident by everyones behaviour!
