J.K. Rowling and Her Legacy of Hate: The UK Gender Critical Movement

She is so close to getting it. The reason people are pissed off with her is that she is famous. That millions of people listen to her every word and idolise her so when she spouts her bile they hear her. The internet is full of assholes making hateful comments but they don't get newspaper articles written about them when they do.

Yep. Mixture of not understanding the harm and not appreciating its scope.
Well into the pile you go then, HBC. And not to mention being a defender of Polanski and Woody Allen.

"I love being 'woke'. It's much nicer than being an ignorant fucking twat."
Glad to see the BBC is happy to make and promote the next tv instalment of the strike series troubled blood which has already been called out for transphobia with rowlings name plastered all over it.
Everything I've heard about troubled blood suggests that even someone acting in the best faith possible would struggle to not make it transphobic. The best you could probably do is completely rewrite the villain to be more nuanced and less "cross dressing to deceive", maybe add some explicit trans and GNC characters to balance it out, explicitly support trans rights within the text...
Troubled blood by the BBC in 2022???? Oh no. It's gonna be terrible.
(And...does that mean they're planning to eventually adapt the Ink Black Heart???? Are they just going to have half the runtime dedicated to pointing a camera at a fake message board???? I've read the amazon preview, I can confidently say that transphobia aside, that book just sucks anyway and it would suck even more as a tv show)

Has any of the adult cast spoken up against Rowling other than Jason Isaacs (and even then it was a bit wishy-washy)?Ugh I guess we're adding Bonham Carter to the list 😒
JK Rowling ‘hounded’ by jealous people, says Harry Potter star
Helena Bonham Carter says if the author ‘hadn’t been the most phenomenal success’, reaction to her views on gender ‘wouldn’t be so great’www.telegraph.co.uk
does the actress that happened to be almost completely cut from the latest Fantastic Beasts count ?
They really like to picture the criticism to her as coming from jealous people instead of people that are opposed to bigotry while generally ignoring or downplaying her bigotry.Ugh I guess we're adding Bonham Carter to the list 😒

Well I'm excited for the terrible reviews I guess
Katherine Waterson was the only one who said it loud and clear and did not take it back.
I hope they are contractually forced to keep all the content of the novel in the adaptation.
So a 60 hour marathon of someone sat on their laptop, scrolling through Rowling's twitter fan fiction, occasionally mulling over to camera just how hard super rich authors have it in society?
Yes. And, and everybody will have to like it and comment how normal and totally not crazy this is
This sounds like the kind of thing Joe Lycett might actually make just to make the point.
It doesn't help that the UK media by and large skips over the bigotry as well, I'm not inclined to give any of these people the benefit of the doubt as at the very least you should look into things before you speak, but I wouldn't be surprised if you pressed these people that 'voice their support' about whats actually been happening, they wouldn't be able to tell you.
This kind of mirrors what's happening in the conservative movement in the US (and probably elsewhere, but as an American this is the most observable to me), Fox News might as well be its own cinematic universe at this point and it's easy to get lost in the dozens of scandals and faux-outrages they put up every week.
People were laughing at the lenght of the book but you should never underestimate the demand of crime fiction junkies. But if the size is due to pages of just made-up tweets most people will propably get fed up quite quickly.
Maybe her next "novel" will be in the form of these autogenerated books that just contain wiki-pages.
I don't dislike the idea of having a small section dedicated to forum posts, presented in a unique style. Loads of books have newspaper clippings, diary entries, etc., Which all get unusual formatting to sell them as pieces of media within the universe. And in small doses, it can help break up a long story!
But this is not a small break, this is a good chunk of what I read of the book's pretty lengthy preview. The formatting, aside from conversations happening at the same time, is not particularly interesting. It's not nice to look at. Apparently it's completely broken in some formats? And the actual story being told is boring and two-dimensionally mean-spirited, even if you (somehow) agree with JK's points.
If I wanted to read a story about people talking online, I would reread that one series of messages from the trans person who got really into investigating her parallel world selves instead of her own gender. It was funny! It was meaningful! It was honest! It wasn't 1000 pages long. The Ink Black heart wishes it was even comparable really.

When I want to do that, I reread through my message board history that strikes me as really memorable, and enjoy (and often cringe) at the growth I have made as a person. Because, no fan fiction needed, it's documented growth of myself.
If I wanted to read others, I'd get into the weeds of whatever the current juicy stuff of the day.
Rowling is so self important, she had to spend a colossal book, mostly formatted as tweets, trying to tell the world she is the victim in all of this. So that nobody could see the massively approved replies to her shite that pointed out what a massive douchebag she was being to oppressed communities.
Hey, JK Rowling gets to join in on Kanye West's bullshit

She will continue to become more flagrant, and I don't know what form her rhetoric will take in the future, but it will be even worse and inevitably inspire more violence and oppression.
As long as they are not working class or fat. She hates those too.
What was it that J.K once said about despising bigotry?
Because she's collecting bigotries like fucking Pokemon cards at this point.

I hope the transphobic media are proud of themselves.
This is so fucked up to see. Also don't read the comments.
I'm so tired of being scared the Terfs will win.
LGB Aliance doesn't get this scrutiny, it took push back from human rights groups for them to go to court..
But mermaids are now a direct enemy of the government.
I can't just be actively angry anymore. I'm exhausted.

As expected, reading the comments was probably the worst thing I've done all week, I never learn

Meanwhile they have no issue with the LGB Alliance as a charity. It's so farcical.
There's a contingent asking them to investigate Sistah Space because... they embarrassed the royals or something. Really great group of people.
Same, I think I'm just going to stop clicking on Twitter links in general in the future.
"The Commission opened a regulatory compliance case into the charity in September 2022 after safeguarding allegations were raised. It has now formalised its engagement by opening a statutory inquiry, due to newly identified issues about the charity's governance and management."
That bit just screams "TARGETED"
Thats horrible and the mayority of comments are chering about it(I should have not view the comments).
You think that this maybe is worthy of is own thread?
One thing more I see while reading the comments was that multiple comments were asking them to do the same with https://twitter.com/Sistah_Space
This is just horrendous, a whole new level of vile obsession
