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!)

The crazy thing is if a man genuinely DID want to dress up as a woman and go into women’s toilets to harass women, there has never been anything actually stopping him - a random perv could have done that in 1924 just as easily as he could do in 2024. But it didn’t really happen in 1924, just as it doesn’t really…

Only because there wasn’t a great deal of analysis on the ridiculous shit she wrote. Not sure how likeable someone who writes a defense of slavery into YA fiction could really be.

Even then, it would have been a mistake to go up against David Tennant.  But now it’s just bonkers.

It’s “minuscule”.

that’s the line that really got me! like i get the bigotry she was going for, but that statement on it’s face is just laughable. joanne, did you somehow think before trans women were incarcerated with cis women that there were no sex offenders in women’s prisons and even more did you think that there were no sexual…

similar shit as Trump with immigrants

That is the thing, its all hypothetical “think of the women” bullshit with the terfs. They find one case where someone , who may or may not actual be trans, does something wrong and then they say “Look, this is all trans people everywhere!!!!”. They also cherry pick data worse then climate change deniers.  

“female prisoners incarcerated with convicted sex offenders”

I can’t wait for the show to run headfirst into the proverbial train station wall that is Very Expensive Show meets Diminishing Returns meets David ‘tax break’ Zaslav meets Half the Old Audience Won’t Be Watching Because Joanne Is A Tool

She’s determined to finally cross the line where she’s better known for this bullshit than as a writer.

Rowling is doing an amazing job getting into arguments with people infinitely more likable than she is.

Ah the never ending game of asshole or idiot!

She got rich and famous by writing a very easy to read pastiche of a bunch of other works, thus she has an outsized sense of her own talent and importance. 

Or she is just an asshole. Hard to separate out all that 

“Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the transphobes!”

Man if there’s one thing you can say for JK Rowling it’s that she doesn’t rest on her laurels. Nope, she’s out there showing her whole ass all day every day.

Can you imagine being the sound guy for these shows?

Shireen was too much for me!

I actually do think that particular child murder on screen would have been too much for many viewers, and cutting away was the right choice.
