No one who says that really thinks this way. They just do this whole fear-mongering thingie, because they know that most cis people have some level of disgust towards us (either because of our bodies directly or because of the fact that we disrupt their pure, cisnormative world), which enables them to openly abuse us without facing any consequences if they just hold up a thin veneer of civility over their rancid faces.
Y’know, as someone married to a trans woman and dates another, this caustic excuse for a human being has showed how many people in my life would show their ass if given the chance. The amount of family members that could look past the “author” and see the “art” and ignore her shitty politics were far too many. They aren’t in my life anymore. They can all go drown in their own piss.
Its always disappointing to me how many people can separate art from artist and insist on doing so. Sometimes it makes me question if I’m a weirdo for being so adamant about dropping shitty creators, but then I think “nah, fuck em.”
art is an expression of self so separating the art from the artist is impossible, and those people who insist otherwise are full of it
jk rowling’s books have her shitty politics written all over them and it isn’t even subtle
art is an expression of self so separating the art from the artist is impossible, and those people who insist otherwise are full of it
Agreed
If I have an issue with a creator I don’t support them or their work period.
You’re not a weirdo.
I do find it a little iffy for me. There are ones like HP where I was suuuper into it up through college, but have since stopped giving money to anything associated with Rowling and kinda just ignoring those books and movies entirely or thing like lostprophets where despite liking a lot of their songs, I can’t listen to them at all anymore knowing what the lead singer was about.
But then you’ve got bands like Anti-flag where one of their singers was, while not as bad as lostprophets, still quite bad, but yet I still throw on their albums when I read political news that makes me angry. Not sure what to do about that one, maybe it’s because there’s another singer so it’s not strictly Justin’s voice all the time, I dunno.
The one exception for me is Kasabian. The lead singer was completely shafted from the band and even cut off from their finances, so I have no issue continuing to listen to them.
Apart from those kinds of fringe cases, I can live without their work.
My “this looks gay (derogatory), better avoid it” mentality from my youth may have caused me a lot of pain and made me a pain to be around, but it also somehow helped me dodge a bullet by dismissing HP as cringe and never getting into it.
When the game came out, I was still fairly ignorant. I thought she was more passively hateful, like said hateful things but didn’t do much about it. Then the game had
shortyshitty politics and I learned that she actively funds hate groups and shit and realized the real evil going on. Haven’t supported her (to my knowledge) since.EDIT: autocorrect got me. I don’t care how tall your politics are
Reminder that J.K. Rowling supports Russel Brand and is most likely in the Epstein files.
JK herself had ties with Epstein too. Epstein was known to hate lgbtq+ people, specially trans people.
Sonia Friedman, Colleen Callander, and Rowling collectively invited Epstein to the opening of the Cursed Child, years after he was already convicted of procuring a child for prostitution. Rowling also recently invited Prince Andrew to the set of the HBO show. again, years after everyone knew he was a significant part of the epstein files. Rowling’s claim of protecting girls and women are hollow. She invites the most evil people, who actively traffick and assault girls and women, and gives them access.
didnt eipstein basically fund the modern day transphobia wave
I think so, iirc he was in talks with some biologist guy, and said he wanted the guy to “investigate” and dehumanize transpeople. Epstein was linked to basically every bad and evil person from the 1990s - early 2010s.
It's fine that she illegally removed her yachts location transponder, people like her just want to live an unmolested life of privacy
Removing the transponder won’t do any good once White Gladys and her pod find her
Aww I was hoping for the IRA treatment of mountbatten :(
🙏
She thinks Lolita is a tragic love story so her being in the Epstein Files would be as surprising to me as Trump being in them.
Public restrooms famously being the only place SA ever happens /s
i thought it was getting better but public safety discourse is still hyperfocused on stranger danger when pretty much every crime is more likely to be done by someone you know.
#1 source of actual stranger danger is cops
Or even anywhere near the top of the list.
I also fail to understand how public restrooms can be a place of frequent sex assault, literally everyone can fucking walk in, it’s like if i rob a person of their jacket in daylight in a street with a few people
Edit: according to this (idk.how trust-able it is) https://www.zenlawfirm.com/blog/2022/august/where-do-most-sexual-assaults-take-place-/
15% of sexual assaults occur in a public place and 10% of sexual assaults are in enclosed public areas, such as a parking lot or a parking garage
Soo idk where bathrooms locate at in here, probably in enclosed public areas
makes about as much sense as the books she wrote 🤷♂️
She spends chapters of her childrens book making fun of a girl for trying to end chattel slavery of elves. A girl who she then retconned as Black in her spinoff play.
People who separate art from the artist really don’t want to recognize the art either.
The book ends with Harry becoming a cop and a slave owner.
The establishment blatantly discriminating against people who aren’t wizards or different species is never addressed, everything just goes back to the status quo and all is well.
No wonder liberals are so obsessed with it.
Yeah but you forget that racism is just really cozy, really gets the Christmas vibes going.
They really do be dreaming of a white Christmas
Yeah but men do go into women’s rooms, it’s when it’s a cis man chasing a trans woman into the bathroom to harass her. But JK is fine with that.
Cis men go into women’s bathrooms all the time (and vice-versa). Someone has to clean them.
Also sometimes you are taking care of a child, or you picked the wrong door, or whatever.
I have frankly seen so many women in the men’s room it barely registers as a thing.
You would not believe the amount of times I have gone into a men’s room when the women’s is obstructed or unavailable, because a toilet is a toilet and I have to go right that minute.

ಠ_ಠ Bears shouldn’t use people toilets. It ain’t right.
They should use the bear toilets like bear jesus intended
Three little pictures on the bathroom doors - stick figure, stick figure in a dress, stick figure head with bear ears. Lol.

I fear I would be using the bears’ room quite often. Literally choosing the bear
Would you rather I leave a mess in the woods?

They say bears shit in the woods, they don’t say they don’t use toilets
but the woods are occupied, the pope is shitting
Also in my experience men’s rooms are cleaner for some reason.
Can’t comment except to say that I fucking hope not. I’ve seen poop on the ceiling.
Anyone can piss on the floor. Be a hero: shit on the ceiling.
I’ve found that ladies’ look messier, but men’s smell worse. (Every now and then, of course, the ladies stinks so bad I can’t use it, and the men’s is actually slightly better, but that’s very much a rare exception to the rule.)

I remain convinced that people who think like this would deep down be okay with them themselves transitioning.
“Ah, well, it’s different. All those little girls that say they’re boys are just manipulated into it. But I’m a grown adult who knows how things work, and I know what’s right for me.”
(Honestly, it’s hard for me to see the kind of spiky transmasc egg who believes in “womanhood is suffering” and “it’s just grownups manipulating young tomboys” rhetoric continuing to believe it after his egg cracks. But I’m sure it could happen, and case-in-point on today’s post is an AFAB individual who presents as a woman, so.)
“Okay, yes, every other so called trans woman is just a lying pervert, but I’M a real woman!”
(This one, unfortunately, is depressingly common.)
