Oh, shit, I'd blocked out the memory of her having denied that Nazi Germany targeted trans people. This actually rather embarrassing because I literally specialize in the history of eugenics. In my defense, my specialty is specifically the history of *American* eugenics, but still, I should've remembered her denial of Nazi persecution of trans persons.

Thank you for reminding me, truly.

I wasn't previously aware of who Posie Parker was, but thank you for pointing that aspect out to me. Rowling's support of Parker strikes me as probably the most direct evidence in support of describing her as a crypto-fascist.

I was aware of her racism and anti-semitism, although tbh I wouldn't have considered racism and anti-semitism to be evidence of crypto-fascism in their own right without the additional evidence of her denial of Nazi persecution and her support of Nazi-supporters.

I'll admit I'm a little cautious about describing the denial of any specific form of non-anti-semitic Nazi persecution as falling under the category of Holocaust denial, since "Holocaust"' traditionally refers specifically to the persecution and genocidal acts against Jewish persons by Nazi Germany. Expanding the term "holocaust" to refer to any form of Nazi persecution against a targeted group runs the risk, in my view, of erasing the experiences of non-Jewish persons at the hands of Nazi Germany.

To be emphatically clear, this is not to say that Nazi persecution of non-Jewish people was any less traumatic, horrific, or harmful than their persecution of Jewish persons. All of that is patently false. What it *is* to say is that by conflating all Nazi persecution under the umbrella of the Holocaust is to indicate, imply, or outright argue that the reasons or justifications or motivations for persecution or murder of the persecuted groups was effectively the same, and this is demonstrably not the case.

But that's a conversation for me to have with Alejandra Caraballo, not with you. I'm not saying that you take the same position as Caraballo in adding that observation here, I'm only adding that last bit as food for thought for anyone reading this.

I'm so sorry you live on the same island as the terf Queen. Hopefully you live far away from her (or as far away as possible on that tiny island at least). On a separate, and hopefully happier note, congratulations on your recent elections. I hope things start to look better in Britain from a political perspective soon. My aunt and uncle were dual US-British citizens, and were generally quite horrified by the Conservatives in office. Sadly, neither of them lived long enough to see them unseated, but I hope they're popping the champagne in heaven.

Is there any petty sorrow more infuriating than finding a fic on AO3 that sits at the exact intersection of your most obscure ship and your most oddball kink, checking the author's profile to see what else they've done, and discovering that the piece you've just read is the sole outlier in a solid wall of Harry Potter fanfic?

…Oh my god, she’s just copying South Park

That’s seriously where she’s at right now. Copying South Park’s attack on the trans movement.

Also, like, this is a TERRIBLE thing to bring attention to, considering the black character of Kingsley Shacklebolt she created.

And the fact that house elves really love slavery and Hermione trying to free them was seen as naive and ignorant.

Anyways, her post is in response to people upset that she’s targeting Lucy Clark, the first openly transgender football (soccer) referee in the world, who came out in 2018. She honestly just seems like a nice person.

But this was too much for JK Rowling! She posted the above tweet and several more

Misgendering and sending stray shots at people who cross dress too - apparently because the media(??) is too nice to them(??)

I wonder how JKR would react to learning that pants were initially unisex, and that pants were deemed “unmanly” at times

Or the fact that people who cross dress have played important roles in history, like Dorothy Lawrence

Of course, JKR doesn’t really care about facts.

All she cares about is that Lucy had the audacity to… lightly warn people to not make transphobic comments:

JK Rowling is a real asshole

What is with hArrh potter and its ability to cause artistic stagnation?

Context: currently on 10 mg thc, saw a trailer for Wonka today at the movies and thinking about how shit it looks.

Like. It was jhst barry potter again. The vfx made it clear it was 90% animated, and they did the big stupid fwooshy movements all the time, everyone had the posh tv British accent, there was unexamined perpetuation of racist tropes, the aethetics are vaguely steampunk pop victorian/dickensian, everyones costumes look like shit and made of velvet, so pretty much the only visual difference was that they didn't have any wands.

And then they showed in the trailer that one of the guys making it worked on harry potter like it was a draw. Like one: yeah we could tell. Two: that's not really the draw that it once was. Like i and every trans person i know actively avoids pretty much everything even tangentally relates to jk rowling.

Also it just looked bad.

Hey can you point me to one of the places where JK Rowling said she wants trans people dead? I want it for reference and I’m having trouble finding anything

here is a good timeline of events, but looking at her twitter was enough for me. also made me doubt if she was a grown woman

[crystalsandbubbletea]

Why tf is Harry Potter trending? Didn't we literally witness JK Rowling going full holocaust denial?

(Screenshots yanked from Google)

[walkingencyclopediaofweirdmayo]

People said not supporting Hogwarts Legacy wouldn't do anything.

Granted, I didn't actually read the article, but it looks like she's trying to backpedal on at least some of her bullshit.

I'm not saying we fixed transphobia or anything, but after all this time of her doubling down, this shows that the controversy DID have some sort of effect.

Goddamn y’all… fuck JKR

“Local Moron Who Denies Nazi War Crimes and Associates with Nazi Apologists Upset that People Call Her a Nazi Apologist.”

Remember who JKRowlings friends (aka homophobes, transphobes, and fascists) are:

I love how, as much as she messes with every single other time period in the hpverse, JKR doesn't seem to want to even get close to the Marauders. She touches Harry, his kids, young Dumbledore, Tom Riddle's family, the founders, etc. but it looks like she wouldn't touch the Marauders with a ten foot pole.

Allowing the fandom to fill in all the blanks to the point that that side of the fandom has created it's own mythology and headcanons so much that it's completely divorced from canon at this point. Half the stuff that comes out of there not even remotely canon compliant. They're not even hp characters anymore, just ocs with the same name as hp characters like

[randomtheidiot]

Dumbest part of H*rry P*tter lore is that it pretends to be a hard magic system when you can just… make your own spells. It’s happened before canonically. Like, you can just say shit in butchered Bri’ish Latin and wave your hands around and shit happens. I don’t hate soft magic systems (I actually prefer them) but don’t set up worldbuilding shit if you’re just going to disregard it.

Anyways, HP fucking sucks, J. K. Rowling fucking sucks, and if you disagree with me, then guess what? Papilla remotionem, motherfucker.

Every time I even think about Harry Potter: I’m sorry I’m sorry I love trans people I love Jewish people YOU GUYS ARE COOL IM SO SORRY IM NOT AN ASSHOLE I PROMISE

I gotta say, I love it when DiscussingFilm chooses violence.

Your head and your numbskull mind has wandered so far in the left direction so much it can't be dragged back. When the fuck has Rowling EVER openly said that she supported the Nazis? She does have a point you know, just because someone dresses up like a woman and has a feminine personality doesn't make them a woman. Let me explain it in simple terms so your tiny liberal woke leftist brain can comprehend the information. Unless you're a fucking seahorse, ONLY ACTUAL WOMEN WITH OVARIES can give birth. Stop using the terms cis women for actual women, like womanhood is like some kind of fucking costume. You people are beyond help and just because I dress up like a lion that doesn't make me a lion now,does it? This is why no one takes you people seriously 😒

Wow, I am now getting Terfs in my inbox...

I like how you are using JKR's logic about how she never said she was the target of a witch hunt despite being in a podcast called 'Witch trials of JKR' with respect to her not OPENLY saying she supported Nazis. No, she just retweets them, am I right?

This is what JKR retweeted:

Along with the trans stripes, the brown stripe represents POC and the black stripe represents those who have died from AIDS.

This is the racist that JKR is retweeting:

JKR supports and retweets Parker Posie who engages in fascist rhetoric and has outright Nazis marching with them.

Right now she is tweeting against the pro gay, pro trans, pro choice first Muslim First Minister of Scotland because he supports the rights of trans children.

And the candidate she supports is actually anti abortion!! That's right, JKR does not care about the threat to our reproductive rights as long as the anti trans candidate gets elected. That's how anti woman JKR actually is. Not that any of this is going to get through your thick hate filled head.
