Here's a new thread, with an OP of all her awfulness. Since an awful lot of Era seems like they don't care that Rowling is a bigot and just want to enjoy their Harry Potter video game. Also before someone asks, the definition of TERF
TERF is an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

TERF is an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
In one of her new ebooks, released on September 6, JK Rowling has explained the truth behind Remus Lupin's condition. The author detailed that Remus' being part werewolf was a metaphor for 'illnesses that carry a stigma'. She swrote: 'Lupin's condition of lycanthropy was a metaphor for those illnesses that carry a stigma, like HIV and AIDS. 'All kinds of superstitions seem to surround blood-borne conditions, probably due to taboos surrounding blood itself. The wizarding community is as prone to hysteria and prejudice as the Muggle one, and the character of Lupin gave me a chance to examine those attitudes.'

JKR really wrote a series including a species (metamorphagi) who can change any aspect of their body at will but hates trans people... the brain worms...
Anyway a not entirely comprehensive list of the absolute rancid garbage in the Harry Potter series that means "haha it came from Hatsune Miku/space" doesn't work because her shitty viewpoints permeate the writing (note: I'm not saying you can't enjoy HP! But you have to think critically about it ESPECIALLY knowing that JKR is TERF garbage):
I probably missed stuff, feel free to add more. But yeah these books aren't like Minecraft which is devoid of its creator's shitty views. HP is STEEPED in JKR's bullshit.
- Hook-nosed greedy goblin bankers
- The one Irish character is named Seamus Finnegan and is constantly blowing shit up
- The one important east Asian character is called Cho Chang which is really the most "generic Asian name because they're all the same right?" ever
- Cho is treated like a crazy hysterical lunatic for the horrible crime of...being a 16 year old girl who is grieving for her murdered boyfriend
- House-elves are a species that exist to be enslaved and they LOVE being enslaved. Being freed from enslavement makes them extremely depressed (see Winky in GoF)
- Hermione's campaign to end aforementioned slavery is treated as a joke with Harry and Ron, our other two "heroes", doing nothing but rolling their eyes at her and talking about how annoying she is
- Werewolves = HIV. Fenrir Greyback is a werewolf who loves infecting as many children as he can
- Dumbledore and Grindelwald (aka proto-Wizard Hitler) were boyfriends??? Don't expect to see this in the actual books though, because JKR wants Woke Points without risk of backlash
- The treatment of Slytherin house in general. "Don't judge people by the groups they belong to! Unless they're Slytherins in which case they're guaranteed to be evil" aka demonisation of literal children
- Similarly Slytherin as indoctrination to the Death Eaters is never addressed and is just allowed to foster even by supposed "heroic" characters
- Voldmort is evil because he was born of rape. Okay.
- Snape, the man who terrorised children, including the son of his supposed "true love" (because HUEGHHGHEG he looks like his dad who was MEAN TO MEEEEE anyway I'm a wizard Nazi who insulted her with racial slurs but let's not talk about that) gets a redemption arc. "Albus Severus Potter, you were named for two of the bravest men I ever knew" BARF!!! What the fuck!!!
- Umbridge, while thoroughly evil, is implied to be raped as "punishment" for her crimes. Feminism!
- Harry dreams of nothing more than becoming a Wizard Cop and his becoming one is treated like a happy ending despite it being a) bootlicking nonsense and b) a complete contradiction to the themes set up in the series
- In general Harry remains a passive observer and is totally cool with the status quo of isolationism, racism, blood purity and LITERAL CHATTEL SLAVERY and never does anything to change it
Some 150 writers, academics and activists - including authors JK Rowling, Salman Rushdie and Margaret Atwood - have signed an open letter denouncing the "restriction of debate".
They say they applaud a recent "needed reckoning" on racial justice, but argue it has fuelled stifling of open debate.
The letter denounces "a vogue for public shaming and ostracism" and "a blinding moral certainty".
Several signatories have been attacked for comments that caused offence.
That includes Harry Potter author JK Rowling who was fiercely criticised this month for comments about transgender people

Let's not forget the Cormoran Strike series
After a Telegraph review described Troubled Blood as a "book whose moral seems to be: never trust a man in a dress" – triggering a widespread backlash – supporters have attempted to play down the depiction of cross-dressing serial killer Dennis Creed in the novel, penned by the embattled author under her male pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
In fact, the killer Dennis Creed — who imprisoned, tortured and beheaded seven women — is explicitly portrayed as a cross-dresser who derives sexual satisfaction from wearing women's clothes, and steals jewellery from his murder victims.
He is depicted by Rowling as using a "convivial, sexually ambiguous persona" to get close to women and ply them with drugs, confessing: "In a wig, bit of lipstick, they think you're harmless, odd… maybe queer. Talked to her for a minute or two, little dark corner. You act concerned… bit of Nembutal in her drink… tiny amount, tiny."
Creed also uses gender expression as an attempt to cover up his crimes when a stash of jewellery belonging to his victims is discovered, with the killer claiming to have bought it "because he liked to cross-dress."
A fictional biography of Creed, read early on by detective Cormoran Strike, recounts of the killer: "By the age of twelve, Dennis had discovered the pleasures of voyeurism. 'It excited me,' he wrote, after our third interview, 'to watch a woman who didn't know she was being observed. I'd do it to my sisters, but I'd creep up to lit windows as well. If I got lucky, I'd see women or girls undressing, adjusting themselves or even a glimpse of nudity. I was aroused not only by the obviously sensual aspects, but by the sense of power. I felt I stole something of their essence from them, taking that which they thought private and hidden.'
"He soon progressed to stealing women's underwear from neighbours' washing lines and even from his grandmother, Ena. These he enjoying wearing in secret, and masturbating in."
The book also references an occasion on which Creed "donned the coat of a female co-worker to imitate singer Kay Starr".
Of his crimes, Troubled Blood adds: "Dennis Creed had been a meticulous planner, a genius of misdirection in his neat little white van, dressed in the pink coat he'd stolen from Vi Cooper, and sometimes wearing a wig that, from a distance, to a drunk victim, gave his hazy form a feminine appearance just long enough for his large hands to close over a gasping mouth."
Despite attempts by Rowling's defenders to assert otherwise, the book never backs away from its depiction of Creed weaponising cross-dressing to exploit women.Instead, when the eventual villain is revealed, Strike notes that they hid in plain sight "just as Creed had camouflaged himself behind an apparently fey and gentle façade".As critics of Rowling have noted, a previous novel in the detective series, The Silkworm, featured a transgender woman who is threatened with the prospect of being raped in a men's prison after attacking private detective Cormoran Strike.Attempting to force her compliance, Strike tells her: "If you go for that door one more time I'm calling the police and I'll testify and be glad to watch you go down for attempted murder. And it won't be fun for you Pippa. Not pre-op."
