#AskDanielRadcliffe

I'd like to ask the little traitors from Harry Potter what they think of Fallon Fox. A man that beats the shit out of women for sport. And rebels in smashing their skulls.

Not to mention that there are those among whom they support, some of which are well known in these boards, who would be needing a new pack of man-sized tissues when thinking about that.

I'm not on twitter, but I've got a question for Daniel Radcliffe.

If twaw then logically tmam.

So if, hypothetically, we were to perfect the creation of embryos from two eggs (no sperm involved), and use sex-selective abortions to ensure henceforth only vagina-type babies are born, and then let those babies determine their own position on the super-complicated sex spectrum by a declaration of identity -

Would Daniel Radcliffe be okay with this? After all, there would still be men and women, they'd just all be what we used to call female back in the ignorant dark ages of binary sex. So that would be fine, right Daniel?

I mean, if it's fine for company boards and parliament to be comprised of male men and male women, then surely it works the other way too, right?

So was smile merely posting to get screenshots in order to, well I don't quite know what? Put refutations to their arguments in a bin, with wing of bat and eye of newt and set fire to it?

How can it have moved so far away from what it was about. It does a great diservice to its young female readership.

This awful piece was in American Marie Claire though, wasn’t it? A distinct publication from the UK edition, I guess.

Yes, but I think the whole brand has lost its way. Sad to see.

I suspect even if she didn't pursue it, commercial stakeholders would.

Right Eresh. One cannot just "take" Harry Potter from JK Rowling, dontcha know! It's hers.

Marie Claire reportage used to be amazing when I was a teenager, about topics like femicide and women in prison. Now it's this self indulgent puerile drivel. WTF happened to them?

Oh I've seen several twitter-twats saying similar stuff - 'let's re-claim HP as our own, it's not hers anymore" and even one saying "can we re-write HP please" - crazy stuff.

I would love to see them come up against international IP law 🍿

Eresh

That is what the writer is saying? It reads sopoorly written, waffling and handmaiden particularly with the grovelling 'i'm cis so shouldn't really have an opinion on this'....

Ugh. Then don't.

Wonder why?!... Will all the posts quoting smile have to go too?

Smile did make rather a fool of themselves last night. My labrador has better reading comprehension

How after these decades of modern feminism and social change have we ended up with this generation of women with absolutely zero self worth? And zero solidarity with other women/girls? Fuck it. All they do is lie to themselves.

Just seen that all Smile’s posts have been “removed at poster’s request”.

There are certainly far fewer people with both Hogwarts House and pronouns listed in their Twitter bios now!

Dear me, this groveling self abasement of women like this writer does not bode well for their future does it. The world is a harsh place and if the violent abusive men involved in this cultural war can bow you down this much you are the vulnerable one. I do hope they wake up.

I didn't realise the obsessional HP fan-base that existed online. I'm not sure some of them can even distinguish fantasy from reality.

Ah, that might explain why they think human beings can change sex.

I'm quite certain that J. K. Rowling knew all about them, though.

Frankly, it's must be a massive responsibility, if not a burden, to know that people are almost living their life through your fictional invention.

You would need your feet firmly on the ground, to not start believing your own PR, as the saying goes.

Which, in my opinion, makes her all the more brave. She must have known exactly whose balloons she was about to burst, but the legal future of women and girls was too important.

I've noticed that too, its very disturbing. I imagine some are quite young so I'll give them a little leeway but some a grown adults who don't seem capable to fully mature. Maybe thats the root to cancel culture. I don't mean the really nasty ones like R Kelly who do real lasting harm but those who just have views they don't agree with, people can't see the artist as fully human.

Me, DH, the DC have always enjoyed HP, read the books, watched the films many times -I admire her very much - but I didn't realise the obsessional HP fan-base that existed online. I'm not sure some of them can even distinguish fantasy from reality.

But JKR is no stranger to book burnings - this is from 2001. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1735623.stm
