The reason is simple: she’s a bigot. She has been successful at pushing her transphobic agenda into UK law, and she will continue to move across the spectrum because hate only knows how to hate even when they succeed.
This is exactly the reason I’m shifting from just warning people that buying her shit is immoral so outright calling them bigots for supporting bigotry. If they don’t want to be bigots they can stop giving her their goddamn money.
I support and share most of your opinions. She is a huge bigot and should be accountable for her actions. My only point is that we have kids and teenagers still consuming her books and products that are completely unaware of what is happening and shouldn’t be called out because of that.
While I don’t disagree I think it’s important to keep in mind that kids and teenagers aren’t stupid - they are capable of understanding that you shouldn’t allow a bad person to continue to be a bad person if you have a conversation about why what JKR is doing is bad. Most of the vocal pushback that I’ve experienced offline has actually come from teenagers.
The problem lies squarely with millennial parents who continue to buy books/movies/games/merch for themselves or their young children because of nostalgia. They are old enough to know better, and should be held responsible for their actions.
I mean she has to be a troll at this point for attacking asexual people right? J.K. Trolling
Like, it’s just people who don’t like sex, I don’t understand the hate? And I’m about as far from asexual as you can get.
There are a strange amount of people who seem to hate the idea of asexuality and this unfortunately includes people from all swaths of life like the LGBTQ+ community. I’ve seen too many gay people say hurtful, and frankly hypocritical, things along the lines of asexuality not existing and being more akin to a disease. It seems that while more people have become aware and accepting of homosexuality, they still don’t understand asexuality and it scares them. Sad really. But luckily there are still lots of kind souls out there that will be accepting of anyone who’s accepting in return. Maybe they can show everyone else the way…
Honestly I don’t understand it. Most likely don’t. But it’s also it’s none of my business what consenting adults choose not to do.
Really the arguments are no different to any sexual interest. As long as the people are happy and consenting adults. I do not need to understand.
Did she get snubbed by someone who’s ace or something? Asexuality is possibly the most inoffensive sexuality in existence.
Like, oh no.
They don’t experience sexual attraction.
That means they’re probably significantly less likely to objectify or assault you than someone who isn’t ace. Isn’t that a good thing for someone supposedly so concerned with being objectified and violated, Miss Rowling?
What a wildly brain-dead take from someone who loves claiming to be a feminist.
(Yes, I know she’s not actually a feminist, but it’s another piece of hypocrisy to throw on the pile)
I’m ace and JK can go fuck herself
Harry Potter creator goes on rant about asexuals for some reason 🤷🏽♂️
Because she is a homophobic piece of shit.
