J.K.Rowling *might* be a Terf...

Haha, good luck convincing all the Harry Potter fans that their favourite author is an evil terf-witch who must be shunned!

And yes, there is a strong connection between trans activists and having anime avatars/liking hentai. Usually involving little girls.

Liking hentai = ok
Liking a #Metoo article = Evil terf

I'm enjoying this thread.
Okay, in some ways it's sad it even exists but, I don't know, it's educational and witty.
If someone wants to call me a TERF I'll wear the badge with pride.

Pricklyball I had to smile at your use of “ willy nilly” when you had just typed “ suck my lady dick” 😃

Pink news are reporting BOTH the snape trans thing, and the ron/dumbledore theory. They really have their finger on the pulse of what's important.

And now (spoilers!) I have discovered that Ron was actually Dumbledore, his change of sexual orientation is what happens when you time travel. Socks being the evidence.

I rather think that Vice article might be going off half cock (or half lady stick or something). Out of 63 492 fanworks for Harry Potter (yes, you read that number right) on AO3, there are 13 trans Snape works. Rather niche to put it mildly.

Thanks

hahaha!

Holy Moly, that snape/trans thing is hilarious. Evidence for apparently, his skill and interest in potions, being that potions are a feminine thing, again apparently. Also, he was interested in potions because he was searching for a way to transition.

Now, if I was searching for an interesting character to project my trans idiology/desire onto, then what about the metamorphosis Tonk, or even all the folk who could transition into animals? perhaps they are just not sexy and misunderstood enough or central to the plot to match the internal fiction of those doing the projecting.

I have had to turn on private browsing thanks to mumsnet, last night I was googling weird men who masturbate into my little pony plushies, and tonight Snape is trans emo nonsense.

I'm not a follower of JK but I've seen tweets circulating in which transactivists are "calling each other out" and attempting to shame people for following her. And they wonder why so many people call it the Trans Cult! I think they're the only group I know of who could rival the $cienos for intrusiveness and authoritarianism.

Ttbb I haven't read Harry Potter since it came out, but I remember thinking it was well written, but it was a while ago.

I couldn't get through twilight or 50 shades as they were so bad. I don't think its fair to compare them as Harry Potter is significantly more successful! In Tolkien's league I would say. I guess her style is simple as it is obviously aimed at children, but that doesn't make I bad. There are some lovely quotes from Harry Potter - not so much twilight and 50 shades.

I just always though Snape was a bit of a goth

Husky do you have a link for that? I want to retweet it!

This could be like a new Spartacus thread! I am wrapped up delighted and I agree with JK Rowling. I am on team gender critical and I will always like Snape the best.

I am absolutely delighted. I am also a writer of great skill and merit and one of this century’s great intellectuals. No, really!

@DoubleRamsey @assignedperf when was the last time you read her books? Her imagination is stunning but her writing style is lacking. let's not forget that that twighloght and 50 shades have also been extremely successful. Mumsnet is interesting in that it is a discussion board as opposed x celebrity said blah blah blah. I just don't see how anyone would be swayed by her opinion of anything except children's writing (which she is very good at in some respects).

Pa ha ha ha! Love it.

After last night’s discussion, I thought other posters would appreciate this gem from Twitter.

She's not on their blocker list yet. Gia Millinovich is though.

Whenever I look for someone I just doublecheck that I'm still there.

It would be awesome if JK would come out as explicitly GC as she is so influential with the under-35s who grew up on her books. That said, I imagine she is cautious about causing distress to teens with gender dysphoria, so can understand why she has only dipped a toe in the water.

.

I am glad to hear that Gia Millinovich has joined us on the dark side

I think she & Brian Cox have been over here for quite a while

This might be my favourite thread ever. Another JK fan girl here. Really recommend the strike books, the series was ok but took out a lot of the subleties and more interesting characters I thought.
Also snape is the least trans person ever. This reaffirms my belief that trans is the new emo. These youngsters need to learn about the 70s and 80s. Speaking of which, Boy George is also gender critical!
