Plenty of people in open relationships don’t commit sexual assault. Not saying Gaiman is innocent but it’s this sorta attitude that gets innocent peoples railroaded as “sexual deviants”.

And many are. Is Star Wars any less great because it had so many influences?
At least the Labour Party thinks she has power.
Was, she, though? During the bulk of Pottermania she had no real public persona. Afterward she was mainly famous for making up dumb retcons about the material (before indoor plumbing, wizards would piss and shit their pants and then magically make the mess go away. That’s canon, baby!)
I’ve never been one of the richest people in history, but why the fuck can’t they just take the W and go Scrooge McDuck in their swimming pool full of money? What compels them to constantly share their stupid fucking opinions?
JKR is hardly the only one to crawl up their own ass this way. Is it like toxoplasmosis,…
“Harry Potter and the Made-Up Oppression”, now streaming on Fox Nation.
The books are good! Rowling has a very good ear for dialogue, her settings feel lived-in (even if her actual worldbuilding collapses under even the slightest scrutiny), and she cleverly made each book a little mystery rather than a straightforward fantasy narrative. There is a reason the books are/were so beloved.…
“Note: Voldemort died on the way back to his home planet.”
It’s textbook radicalisation. She got hung up on an issue and got sucked into echo-chambers that reinforced that hang-up into zeal.
There are things to like about the books. Unlike about her
She’s a bigot. When your bigotry alienates people who used to respect you, the only people left are other bigots. The bigotry of the other bigots reinforces and intensifies your bigotry. That’s basically how racist Facebook uncles are born.
Or she is just an asshole. Hard to separate out all that
“Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the transphobes!”
I don’t think the issue is with him really at all. He seems charmingly self deprecating. The problem, if there even is a problem, is with fans who don’t understand how pop music is put together and why that would mean a TS concert is constructed very differently from your average guitar + drums + bass rock concert.
After finally watching Quiet On Set (had put it off for a while due to having to mentally prepare to be icked out), I totally agree with a lot of her points. It touches on some heavy topics but a lot of those heavy topics and stories are buried in cheap schlock which is trying to get you in the headspace of “wow so…
You’d think a sizable amount of people would have at least seen Little Miss Sunshine.
Most disappointing ending to an exciting build-up. You had two characters with ALL the super powers. You have to let them do more than just punch stuff. Same issue with Harry Potter wizard fights that just involve pointing their wand lazers at each other and seeing which is stronger. You’re wizards for pete’s sake.…
The idea that anyone would take her case at all is mystifying.
Over at RationalWiki they refer to this “Just Asking Questions” bullshit as “JAQing off.”
saying she was merely “asking questions”
