JKR: So I want trans women to be safe. At the same time, I do not want to make natal girls and women less safe.

Reddit: YOU MUST DISAGREE WITH THIS

I think these days it's getting more like

JKR: it's a cold wet Saturday in my part of Scotland today, I'll be wrapping up in extra layers.

Reddit: how dare she say that. For some people it's blazing sunshine, it's most definitely Sunday and there are people in shorts on the beach in Australia. She must be disavowed for her lies.

So do they just slag off all the Harry Potter books then?.what with those being JKR's actual words on every page of every book?

That seems like a really boring sub reddit.

So. Book 2 Chapter 3 what does every one think of the way she wrote it was raining? When obviously it was actually just drizzle?

I don't think JK Rowling inserted her gender critical views into the HP books. The anti-Semitism views may have however...

careful @MargaritaPie your jealousy is showing. How exactly are her books anti Semitic?

Boiledbeetle · 26/11/2022 12:28

@MargaritaPie As I said I've not read her books, obviously you have so it should be really easy for you to post a couple of the anti Semitic passages.

I mean you know how this works by now when you post statements like that

Prove it.

RoseslnTheHospital · 26/11/2022 12:32

Any old conspiracy theory will do, Pie? Tragic.

Happylittlechicken · 26/11/2022 13:04

Exactly. For someone to believe that using goblins was anti semantic, wouldn’t you have to in some form believe some of the tropes were accurate? Therefore only antisemites would believe the goblins were meant to be an insulting portrayal of Jewish people.

Yep. It such an own goal by the TRAs

Which particular words and actions? Can you link to specific examples? Many thanks!

It's the one where she says you can dress how you want. Men can't wear women's clothes as it's transphobic and insults trutrans donchano.

FionnulaTheCooler · 26/11/2022 13:15

Reminds me of the time the Quidditch league changed their name to Quadball. You're still using something that JK Rowling invented, if you feel that strongly about it, boycott her work altogether. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

Thanks for the link, Mummy, so no anti Semitic passages as Pie alluded to, just bog standard goblins.

FFS@MargaritaPie don't bother trying to prove your statement, not that you will, as it's obvious once again you are just spotting rubbish to stir the pot.

Not that I'm surprised.

Boiledbeetle · 26/11/2022 14:19

Or even spouting rubbish.

Am I the only one who wishes that Just once Pie would post actual proper irrefutable proof of whatever s/he's advising someone has said or done?

Nostradamus fortold it as the end of days

so no…

BordoisAgain · 26/11/2022 16:58

The anti- semitism, racism etc that is so overt that it was never even noticed for the best part of 20 years 😉

BordoisAgain · 26/11/2022 17:01

I mean, Harry Potter fans have read the books numerous times, had numerous forums and threads to discuss the minutiae of every sentence and somehow managed to miss the glaring anti semitism and racism that the books are now alleged to contain.

Boiledbeetle · 26/11/2022 17:05

@BordoisAgain also can't see as many films getting made of the books If that had been the case either.

Although i haven't watched the films either.

WandaWomblesaurus · 26/11/2022 17:41

@MargaritaPie absolute goblin shit.

Debbehthchosenmum · 26/11/2022 19:44

I've had to give up reddit after 10 years because it just seems to be run by rabid autogynephiles. I'm surprised they even allow a Harry Potter sub.

Happylittlechicken · 26/11/2022 19:47

Did @MargaritaPie ever provide this proof of anti semitism? Is this just the ‘proof of transphobia’2.0?

Marg does, it’s just proof about another author on another accusation, that’s all.

eurochick · 26/11/2022 20:00

So Reddit would not disagree with this then?

"We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving."

How very odd.
