We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
i would rather know if someone popular was transphobic or not. what exactly is harmed by learning that?
she's just a old woman of 120 years old, she doesn't know about these new fangled things like trans lives, non-white people, non-straight people. so she talks about them now and maybe says the right thing like 15% of the time
She not only follows a bunch of terf accounts and zero pro-trans accounts she has liked anti-trans tweets....
Swear to god, it's like the Rowling finished book 7 and then had a brilliant idea for a new series titled Harry Potter and the Unforced Error.
For one, maybe it will allow for people to read a different fucking book series finally.
It is possible to follow without endorsement. Like following an asshole president because it is important to knowing how he can fuck you up with laws.
BUT it is the context. A person following lots of X positive people and one X negative will mean one of those is not an endorsement.
JK Rowling lives in a country that is flooding with terfs, follows zero trans activists, likes tweets by transphobes and never said a single word in favor of trans people.
What scum but im sure people will still try to defend her.
Anyway, gives me a chance to post this classic.

What the fuck... this is a Soros conspiracy now too? Why cant people just let each other be ffs.
A bit worrying but I'm not going to condemn someone because of who they follow on Twitter. Actions are what matter to me so I'll focus my hate on those actively trying to hurt the LGBTQ community.
Well her actions have been to follow about 5 anti trans people and follow exactly 0 pro trans people soooo.........
Little known fact: George Soros was the original inspiration for Voldemort
Just his name alone brings a sharp chill to the spines of conservatives
"Ssorossss"

That's... pretty good. And as a fan of the series, very depressing.good excuse to post this
I expected more than this...
From my understanding they switched the original actress of Nagini because the original got pregnant.
And as you said, she unfollowed the transphobe. I know nothing about these particular people but I can assume now that this is the second time that she agrees with them, but it goes on the assumption these people are defined by their nonsense and not something else she might just happen to agree with.
Judging purely by OP, it's safe to think she does in fact have a problem with trans individuals.
good excuse to post this
Yeah, im a fan of the movies but this really does hit home and marks up a lot of issues with the story (and centrists in general).
So everyone who follows Trump endorses him? That is a weird take.
I don't know how often we have to do this dance until we accept that Rowling is at the very least sympathising with TERF rhetoric. She keeps falling in this same pattern where she follows and likes things from people who almost exclusively talk about anti-trans nonsense. If it were once or twice, it could have been an unfortunate mistake, since encountering such clowns in the the UK feminist scene happens quicker than you'd like. It feels like this just keeps happening over and over again though. It's come to the point where if she wants to explain or defend herself, I'm prepared to listen, but until then, I'm just assuming she's a TERF.
I forgot about that trainwreck.
I forgot about that trainwreck.
There is a difference between following the president of the most powerful nation in the world and a bunch of essentially unknowns who post regular transphobic stuff.
I mean, is she following them to learn how to fight against transphobes? Keeping up to date with the latest slurs they use?
Or more likely, she agrees with them and follows their accounts because of it?
I support LBGT people, I hope one day (soon) they can get married, adopt, and arent discriminated anwhere (in my country gay people cant even get married yet)
But I wont pile somebody I'm a fan, I that I think was a big part on WHY I'm so open minded, just for a twitter follow, now, someone here posted a couple of articles about her doing more than just a follow and I will check that later.
Since well, according to that logic I would be a transphobe If I followed JK Rowling in twitter.
So JK Rowling then. She not only follows a good number of anti-trans advocates (and zero pro-trans advocates) she also has liked anti-trans tweets directly on Twitter.
There is no to spin this...JK Rowling is publicly supportive of anti-trans activism.
Why do you keep ignoring everything but the one follow in the op?
She doesn't just follow an anti-trans advocate she follows a good number of them. And *ZERO* pro-trans advocates. And has liked anti-trans tweets directly. She has personally pushed these anti-trans folks message herself.
I get it, I loved the books too. But you are in denial on this one.
geez, this was a 4chan post?good excuse to post this
She was never progressive, I don't know why people thought that. Wishful thinking?
Remember the bankers? Who totally weren't inspired by Jewish caricatures.
At this point, if you look at Rowling's history on this, of following transphobic accounts and liking anti-trans tweets, of never standing up for or supporting trans people, and decide that she deserves the benefit of the doubt or that she's some sort of LGBT champion because she said Dumbledore was gay and never actually did anything meaningful with it, you are either willfully blind, staggeringly naive, or deeply suspect.
If it were her first offense I would say she is probably do book research. Given the history she has probably lost the benefit of doubt.
Somewhat unfair to say she never did anything with it. She wrote a movie which came out 8 months ago in which it was a pretty central plot point.
Does she earn anything off of the new Mobile Game?
Turned around a bit with Gia Gunn coming back for AS4, but honestly until we see a trans/bio queen in a main series season, I'm skeptical.

Yeah, read those articles and please stop posting until you do.
Yeah but it was probably just a slip up! Again!
I mean the people she follows and likes on Twitter are a good place to start then.
...was it? I watched that movie, but there was no explicit romantic connection indicated between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, not that I noticed.
