(stolen joke) A transphobe, a racist and a antisemite walk into a bar. The bartender says: “hey arent you the woman who wrote those harry potter books?”
okay okay, i know jk rowling is horribly anti-semetic but i’d like to know how she is racist? i dont doubt it given the other info i have about her, but i’d like an example of her racism if possible
well there’s the (only) asian character whose name is literally “Cho Chang”
or the one black person (of two!) named “Kingsly Shacklebolt”
oh and just for fun i’m pretty sure the one coded-irish character is constantly causing explosions? but we’re getting into p fuzzy recall territory tbh, and i’m sure there’s plenty more.
He’s not just coded Irish, his name is literally Seamus Finnegan, and yeah he’s most associated with blowing shit up
technically there’s four Black folk in the Harry Potter books, but Rowling goes out of her way to not mention Lee Jordan despite Lee being a quidditch shoutcaster and allegedly the best friend of the Weasley twins, or Angelina Johnson, despite Angelina being Gryffindor’s Chaser (god what an awful name for a sports role in this day and age) (and didn’t she date one of the Weasley twins, too?) and she made Blaise Zabini a straight-up Death Eater-aligned Slytherin, so… Yeah, I’m gonna drill a couple more screws into the ‘racist’ sign she’s wearing
I’d say there’s five but I don’t have the spoons to have the “Hermione is a black girl, there’s no such thing as a tea cracker who needs a perm put in her hair for a school dance” argument with burger cracker liberals
she’s like a massive unionist and even included a bit about how the IRA were just muggles who were jealous of wizards and so made bombs so they could match them in a pottermore post iirc (also iirc the ministry of magic doesnt recognise the sovereinty of the republic of ireland so there’s just a single ministry of magic for both countries)
Here’s one example:
The way she handled Native Americans in the Harry Potter universe was racist and got a lot of complaints at the time. Here’s an article about it.
Read the harry Potter books… Well don’t. But we got cho chang as the only Asian for example. What a name eh
horribly anti-semetic but i’d like to know how she is racist
european antisemitism is racist. it’s theoretically possible to exclusively have a problem with religious practitioners of judaism, but that’s not something that actually happens anymore. the goblins in her books are not shown to be practitioners of a bad cult, but bearers of undesirable racial traits.
Sure thing, Rowling. Why don’t you show us these supposed facts that contradict the statistics that show trans women are far more likely to be the victims of sexual assault than the perpetrators?
It’s fascinating how Rowling projects her grievances with the patriarchy onto trans women.
it’s the final stage of liberal feminism. petty traumas with no systemic causes and no wider solution need to be vented at the most vulnerable populations available. also explains the Clintonite criminal justice project.
all transpeople are r#pists is certainly a take to have, i hope she drowns in her own blood
It’s becoming more common. We’re getting extremely close to a place where trans people are predators by definition to these people. It’s really scary
I have noticed that they are expanding how they define predator even further to include anyone who advocates for acceptance of trans kids. It usually goes something like (cw: transphobia):
spoiler
“Being trans is inherently sexual. So anyone who tells a kid they might not be the gender they were assigned at birth means they are trying to sexualize children, thus a sexual predator.”
Meanwhile, worrying about kids’ genitals and sexual attractions is perfectly acceptable by these cretins.
“It’s not sexualizing children to constantly worry about their genitals or who they want to be intimate with! Don’t even get me started on which bathroom they want to use!”
I hope that she contracts a chronic illness so painful she begs for euthanasia, and stays alive forever, unable to move but in excruciating pain. I don’t think any death is too kind for this filth pile that people mistake for a conscious, compassionate being.
I didn’t follow how unhinged she had become about it. Wow.
What can be the next move after this? Claiming she was r*ped by a transwoman?
