She was actually stripped of her award.

Very much looking forward to seeing the rest of this story covered by people who aren’t terrified of pissing off fascists, like with the Golden Compass movie.

Maybe the author lives in Japan, or Australia, or New Zealand where it’s the middle of the afternoon.

I’m really happy to see an another article acknowledging the diversity in writers’ rooms and crews that led to this beautifully and responsibly written show that deals with anti-black American racism.

Calling people out for being shitlords isn’t the reason why these people double down on being shitlords. They assume that their shitty opinions should be respected instead of being called out for being shit. Blaming this radicalization on society just screams of the same nonsensical rationale that got the “affluenza"…

Rowling is already on the losing side of this. The freedom to be yourself is a basic human right. She’ll either realise her views are opposed to this and change to support all human rights, or she’ll die an example of bigotry.

“Rowling’s motivations continue to elude me.”

Her opinions, unfortunately, aren’t nearly as fringe in the UK center-left community as they are here. So she might not have known, at the start, how terrible it would make her look.

Seems like her time would be better served by shutting off Twitter and rolling around naked in a pile of cash.

It seems she’s had these views for a long time considering the pseudonym she used for her 2013 novel was the same name as the guy who pioneered conversion therapy...

Trans people, of course, famously taking advantage of society’s permissive attitude toward them.

I don’t get it either, why is this issue so important to her that she’d go this far out on a limb for it.

Bigot returns award she clearly didn’t deserve in the first place. I know it’s pretty typical to be all the more stubborn when called out like this, but I’m a little surprised at just how deeply she’swilling digging this hole for herself, despite near universal condemnation from her fans, the corporations distributing…

Just to remind everybody, she threatened to sue a children’s news site because they said her views were harmful to trans people.

Rowling’s motivations continue to elude me. In the UK you are (mostly) entitled to your dumb opinions, but why burn through the goodwill of a fanbase that includes a significant number of queer and allied individuals by airing those dumb opinions publicly?

I still don’t understand what TERFs’ objective is. Do they legitimately perceive a threat from trans women (either direct physical threats, or a more abstract threat to societal stability), or is it just a way for them to have a group that they can oppress the way men oppress women? I’m just spitballing here, because…

I feel I have no option but to return the Ripple of Hope Award bestowed upon me last year.

The original Star Wars was a wonderful tale about a special boy who’s white and a boy and very special, and he saves a Space Princess who is also white but who doesn’t get to do too much. It’s a perfect movie, about how a boy like me becomes a magical space-wizard who uses a laser sword, and everyone else tells him…

She has a subterranean lair? That’s pretty cool

I will now welcome the comments claiming how Kellie Marie Tran is the Anti-Christ, punches old ladies in the face, shoots puppies, runs over children for sport, and created COVID-19 in her subterranean lair.
