Another day, another drive-by scolding of JKR for having a sense of humour:
How vile. You think this is all just a joke.
You, a straight woman, intentionally fanning the flames of an anti-LGBTQIA+ agenda.
This is what history will remember you for, Joanne. You have my pity.
Leaving aside the fact they’re assuming her sexuality because she’s married to a man & the big fat lie about what she’s doing…
How is it so many people apparently have feck-all clue how History works? It’s become a common thing for people to lob at JKR, along with the “you’ve destroyed your legacy!” nonsense & presumably someone decided it sounded Clever, Weighty & Dramatic & it got added to The Script with no examination of whether or not it made any kind of sense.
Of course, absence of sense/logic/coherent argument is sort of the TRAs thing, so I shouldn’t really be surprised; but if you are seeking to argue a subject, you do rather undermine yourself if your would-be dramatic flourishes highlight quite fundamental gaps in knowledge & understanding. It doesn’t improve should someone trot it out who actually does understand its meaning; because “I’m advocating for a brutally suppressive Big Brother-style state” is not likely to make your fellow humans think you have right on your side.
Do they think people will cower before this - & the more general “right side of history” nonsense - as they expect them to at the cry of “transphob[e/ia/ic]!”?
