My ghetto-rasied white sister-in-law that loves Motown & has worn cornrows, would quite literally beat her into a pulp for saying something this stupid within her reach.

And yes mouthy bigots deserve their ass beat, but go ahead & show the rest of us how you are so "progressive" that you stand up for the absolute worse of humanity.

I hate how this woman still gets attention. Sigh.

transphobia

racism

Chait's response to Rowling's racist reply to him is exceptional.

You can have black ancestry and appear not-black, so this really doesn't support her argument at all.

JK Rowling being deplorable aside, every time I see someone getting "s l a m m e d" in a headline I feel myself age a week.

How she went from one of the most beloved authors of all time to this will never cease to amaze me.

Yet another example of Joanne specifically, and reactionaries as a whole having only The One Joke™

It would almost be funny if it wasn't so damn frustrating.

She's so close to getting it, that gender is as much of a bullshit category as race is.
Frustrating to see someone understanding partially but not making the final leap to connect it.

...implying that she believes in Blood Quantum as well. Yikes.

Trans people, PoC... she was having a go at disabled people in her last book as well. I think maybe trolling has an addictive component and they have to reach further and further to get the same adrenaline hit.

Honestly race is a social construct formed initially out of ethnicity in a very similar way to gender being a social construct formed initially out of sex. I don’t think most people would be offended by someone whose cultural behavior matched that of a race not normally associated with their ethnicity, as long as it was genuine and not done simply to appropriate another culture.

Like, if a white kid is raised around a lot of Jamaican immigrants, falls in love with reggae, and becomes a Canadian reggae sensation, we aren’t gonna say that he’s black (because he isn’t), but we also aren’t gonna say that Snow is appropriating Jamaican culture.

I guess it could be an interesting question for a more open future society, whether “trans-racial” identity could eventually be something we could identify and accept.

But of course TERFy bitch J.K. Rowling isn’t asking this question in good faith, she’s trying to be edgy and punch down, like she’s constantly doing these days. So, no J.K. Rowling. Fuck off.

JK Rowling continues to lose it.

Wow I thought she was perhaps subtle about her hatred, and that's why she isn't universally rejected yet, but apparently that's not the case:

Calling a man a man is not 'bullying' or 'punching down.' Crossdressing straight men are currently one of the most pandered-to demographics in existence, and women are under no obligation to applaud the people caricaturing us. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 12, 2024

Keep going, keep going. I wanna see how far you can go before people stop defending you. I wanna see how much you can get away with and where the line is. I wanna see how much bigotry society is willing to tolerate for the sake of Harry Potter. I want to watch you (metaphorically) hang yourself with your own rope. I want the chaos, I want the spectacle, and I want your followers to wake up and see you for who you really are, or else for you to drag them down with you.

Some famous people REALLY shouldn't have a Twitter account: Trump would have stayed a tacky real estate developer/reality TV host, Musk would have stayed a tech visionary, and Jo would have stayed a beloved children's book author.

Is there any way to like, disassociate being a Harry Potter fan to whatever embarrassing nonsense her X Formerly Known as Twitter accounting is spouting?

JK Rowling's opinion about slavery is that most slaves like it, they're better off in slavery, and it's just the natural order of things.

When she speaks, she speaks from a place of fear and ignorance.

Her degeneration into the type of Nazi she'd parody in her books is almost complete.

What always amazes me about such things is how easy it is to just keep your mouth shut and not say anything and yet so often people just...don't.

Quick someone SLAM JK Rowling for saying more idiotic nonsense. We need more celebrities SLAMMED as soon as possible. Some politicians too, keep on SLAMMING folks!

Yo, JK, it's SO EASY to NOT say anything. Just stop saying things.

Oh here's my monthly reminder that JK Rowling is nutjob.

She continues to fall down the Nazi rabbit hole.

The fact that she said this arguing with another transphobe who asked her to dial it back a little is hilarious

The phrase "fancy myself" is the whitest-sounding shit I've ever heard.

I only just noticed people calling her Joanne because she identifies as JK. Nice one.

It's such a bad faith comparison to make about trans people.
One's race oftentimes comes with a slew of cultural background, and misappropriation of that isn't cool.

Gender meanwhile is just a societal constrict built of the typical characteristics of the sexes - if you don't line up with the one given to you at birth, then there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to identify with what you do line up with.
