I liked the fact she said nice things about JKR. I’m sick of the endless spite, and the GC movement has done nothing but crow and jeer since the announcement. And I say that as gc myself. This board is rife for it.

Sure Jan GIF

Sure Jan.

EW was on top of the world with a glittering career ahead of her (or so it seemed) she was young and impressionable and perhaps a little bit stupid and she thought her opinions were worthy. So she has grown up and copped on a bit, so what? Most sensible people didn't listen to her then and won't now either.

She is in her 30s. She made the comments not long ago. And she still won't apologise to JK and she still believes in it. Nothing has changed.

Headline in the Telegraph made me laugh this morning.

Extract from article:
"She might feel that her art is too precious to be shared, so perhaps she is preparing to re-enter the fray as an activist. She has previously campaigned for gender equality, Gaza, environmental causes, and trans rights. Interestingly, though, speaking to Shetty she took a woolly line on JK Rowling, saying “I hope I can keep loving people who I don’t necessarily share the same opinion with”, then adding that she wasn’t currently commenting on Rowling or the issue “because the way that the conversation is being had feels really painful to me”."

“because the way that the conversation is being had feels really painful to me

Painful to her? To her? It's all about her isn't it? She got accolades for her stance. She's had a free ride. Wtf does she think it's been for JK? Not painful? JK is the one who got the rape threats and the death threats and the scolding but actors in public. EW really has such a disconnect from other people's feelings. All she thinks about is herself! Her narcissism is gobsmacking! No wonder she identifies with Trans Ideology!! Birds of a feather.... She is so infuriating with her smug me-me-me I-I-I narcissistic main character syndrome.

ThatCyanCat · 26/09/2025 11:16

The poster who said she thinks she's Hermione but actually she's Percy had it bang on.

Percy did redeem himself though. He didn't give a hypocritical, mealy mouthed "it's just a difference of opinion", he straight up owned that he'd been a chump and he was sorry, and he was welcomed back immediately. I obviously can't speak for JKR, but despite what she said about not forgiving, she's actually always been incredibly forgiving when someone shows true remorse. There was that young journalist who called her disgusting names then apologised just as publicly and she forgave and forgot immediately, and one or two others as well.

This is just so self indulgent.

Well, if the TRAs are about to unleash on her, I think she’ll now get a snippet of the pain their type of conversations can cause.

I’m not so sure she’ll think their death and rape threats are made with ‘love’ and ‘kindness’ in mind, but who know with her. 🙄

Some parents believe that their children were reincarnated souls and possess special, unusual, and sometimes supernatural traits or abilities.

It was quite the trend for a long time

One of the parents of a 'trans' child in Scotland was also convinced the child was reincarnated. A fervent believer.

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 26/09/2025 11:26

And some parents murder their children because they believe they are practising witchcraft or possessed by the devil.

Well there's still time for Emma to redeem herself properly. And, like you, I think JKR would forgive her if she showed a true change of heart.

Maybe being on the receiving end of a trans activist backlash will be what peaks her.

JKR herself, though at the core of her belief is an ironclad commitment to women's single sex spaces, only dipped her toe in very tentatively for quite a while. I think it's fair to say that the insane backlash from TRAs radicalised her.

If Emma were to get peaked that way, I think she'd understand.

Given that Watson still supports the demolition of women’s rights and the transition and sterilisation of children, I don’t quite understand how her “I still love JKR” mumblings warrants some sort of pat on the head.

Oh do get real! She is in her 30s. She spitefully mocked JK on an awards show, while JK was getting RAPE THREATS and death threats and bomb threats! She not once called it out and said, this has gone too far people shouldn't be making those threats. She still won't apologise to JK and she still believes in it. Nothing has changed. Get back to us with your "the GC movement should 'BeKind' " to a vile woman who still won't apologise when she apologises to JK. Only when she apologises to JK, will she be worthy of 'less spite'. Stop lecturing us! Until EW apologises save your misogynistic and tone-death scolding lectures.

Maybe she's feeling a prickle of guilt about how much she loves the wealth and privilege JKR has given her.

Just not so hate filled, @Namelessnelly . I don’t believe most trans people are threatening others with death, any more than you are.

How many death threats from trans people to women are acceptable just so we know?

Women celebrating a legal ruling that they can have single sex spaces aren't hate filled and you know it. The TRAs have saturated the market in hate and you know that too.

May I ask, politely, with love and kum ba yas, who on earth you think you're fooling?

Quite. Nothing has changed. Nothing at all, has changed. And to think some airheads (and might I remind these airheads that EW has not apologised to JK and refuses to apologise to her) with a brass neck are coming on here saying 'oh BeKind'? NO! Nothing at all even remotely has changed. Why should we 'BeKind' to a hateful, smug and spiteful woman who sat back and said nothing while people threatened to burn JK alive and bomb her house and rape her?

Who the F do these handmaidens think they are?

We will maybe 'BeKind' when EW apologises to JK. Not a second before. Not one second before. That's it for me at least.

None of us are 'hate filled'. We are just angry. That' all. Angry. And we have every right to be. Go lecture the TAs who are now turning on EW for still agreeing with them!

For an “oppressed minority” there’s an awful lot of them wishing harm and death to “terfs”. They certainly massively outnumber the ones condemning such threats.

I'd also suggest that if you can get a man arrested, at the airport he lands in to arrive in the country, because you don't like his tweets, you may be a minority but you sure ain't oppressed.

Oh I See GIF by Silicon Valley

You are 'GC', so presumably happy to enjoy the fruits of many years of labour, sacrifice, and suffering of those who fought for women's rights, but want to reserve the right to insult said women for not being to your taste. And you want to criticise the tone.
