Is JK Rowling ‘too big to be cancelled’?

This. I think it’s a small proportion of people who are very vocal who’d like to cancel her. A bunch of vocal terfs who are on here who would like to support her. Then there is the other 90% of the population who don’t give a shit about the issue.

But it’s not for trouble’s sake. It’s for the safety and opportunity of women and girls .. sake.

Yep. Pesky woman fighting for safe spaces for other women. Why can't she just #bekind?

If you honestly feel this to be the case then you really haven’t understood the issue. You’ve taken the trouble to actually post on this thread so it must have piqued your interest - stick around, read a few threads and you might begin to realise why someone might want to put their head above the parapet like JKR has. I hope you come to understand that her motivation is not to ‘stir up trouble’!

She cannot be financially ruined by being cancelled.
This. She has the protection that $1 billion brings.
Which makes her teflon.

Out of all the people who buy HP books, watch the films or pay money towards the franchise in any other way the number who will stop due to their dislike of her opinion is tiny.

Yes some people will boycott her but HP is far too big. I imagine that the percentage who even know she has said something is small.

I don't like her at all. She seems to be stirring up trouble for troubles sake. Not on.

I dont say this lightly but I really hope she has top notch personal security (think ex SAS standard), because the only way she can be silenced is literally and some of the more bonkers TRA's seem to love the idea of murdering un believers.

I’m reminded of a small thread a couple of years back asking people what feminism has ruined that they previously enjoyed.

the thread was a great romp through some really shit but fun movies, songs, books etc. reminiscing on a time when we didn’t overthink life without our patriarchy glasses on

I think her viewpoint is quietly but widely popular.

She’s too huge to be ‘cancelled’ in full but it’s got to be damaging in lots of ways - projects she’s a part of trying to distance themselves. Other people she would like to support she might choose to stay quiet so as not to cause controversy over their event/product.

I suspect on the whole what it’s given her is a massive headache. Like needing to wear glasses. Lots of aspects of her life will have this additional lens/viewpoint to consider - security, social media, contracts etc.

Her enormous talent in writing gives her a shield for many things, but her vocal shining support for women’s rights is not without cost. I’m glad she can financially afford it, and I’m so grateful she chooses to bear the burdens other than financial on our behalf.

I suspect it’s not some sort of conspiracy aligned ‘too big to be cancelled’ type of thing.

It’s actually that the people trying to do the cancelling are neither as numerous nor as widely supported in their positions as they would like to believe.

And that’s a good thing.

I mean - to a large amount of people she has already been ‘cancelled’. However she continues to exist, of course. She cannot be financially ruined by being cancelled, and she doesn’t appear to GAF about reputations damage. Very vexing for the cancellers, I expect.

Andrew Doyle - Cancel Culture Is Real - he covers JKR in an interesting overview.

She has opinions..Some people will agree, some won't.
