There are many evil women in this world: the recently convicted double murderess Lori Vallow, angel of death Beverley Allitt…There are many horrible women in this world: Ayanna Pressley, Angela Rayner…There are many simply dislikeable women in this world: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Joy Reid…then there is JK Rowling. This is a woman who has done more for child literacy than any human being since Caxton invented the printing press. She has entertained countless millions, and she has given away more money than most of us will ever earn if we live to be a thousand. And her reward for this?
In short, to be branded a bigot. Here is a longer way of saying this from a blog post by the Museum Of Pop Culture earlier this year:
“Her transphobic viewpoints are front and center these days, but we can’t forget all the other ways that she’s problematic: the support of antisemitic creators, the racial stereotypes that she used while creating characters, the incredibly white wizarding world, the fat shaming, the lack of LGBTQIA+ representation, the super-chill outlook on the bigotry and othering of those that don’t fit into the standard wizarding world, and so much more”.
In case you hadn’t heard of it, the Museum Of Pop Culture is based in Seattle, while the dude who wrote that blog post is clearly living in his own fantasy world. Perhaps he should write a politically correct novel in the same genre as Harry Potter?
Whatever, his employer has now gone one step better and removed all reference to Miss Rowling from the organisation’s website. She has faced similar venom from fellow travellers on this side of the Atlantic.
Last December, self-styled “queer” actor Callum Scott Howells blamed Miss Rowling for the Conservative Party’s attacks on trans rights. These so-called rights include the right for a convicted rapist to serve his sentence in a women’s prison because he dons a wig, puts on make-up and calls himself a woman. They include the right of a deranged mother to take her sexually confused son to Thailand where he was castrated for his sixteenth birthday present. They include the right of sexual deviants to put on drag queen story hours for infants, and for a so-called trans charity to sell breast binders to sexually confused teenage girls. These are rights we, especially parents, can do without, but a world without the magic of Harry Potter would be a much duller place.

I think her literally production is of a medicore quality, but if kids like it, why not.
Her opponents though are straight degenerates who produce nothing on their own.
Surely you mean her LITERARY production? Right?
JK ROWLING IS ABSOLUTELY ON RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY !!
I’m somehow reminded of the flak the Harry Potter books got from fundamentalist Christian groups in the USA (don’t know of other countries – maybe Russia* as well) for being “occultic” and “promoting witchcraft” when they were first released**. I can’t decide what’s worse – that, or the flak Rowling gets nowadays for her opposition to transgenderism. I’m also wondering what those same fundamentalist groups/people think nowadays in light of this. (*I recall someone in the ROC condemned HP for “witchcraft” at some point, and some readers of RT still do to this day.) (**Back when I first learned about… Read more »
(**Back when I first learned about this in 2014 I contemplated on converting to Catholicism instead. But that’s another story.)——-If you want to save your soul, you certainly should convert to Catholicism, which saved my life on two occasions, the last time been in 2015, in what the doctors and nurses called a miracle.
One’s personal tastes in religion, of which witchcraft is very much one, should not be sufficient reason to mock those who do not agree with one. But no one is absolved of not coming to some hard decisions about just which road to which “narrow gate” they promote, especially to innocent and ignorant children. Mind you, in our infantilised Western cultures adults are in scarce supply.
Transphobic viewpoints, problematic, antisemitic, racial stereotypes, incredibly white, fat shaming, LGBTQIA+ representation, bigotry………..when you read words like this, straight from latest edition of the Newspeak Dictionary, you know you are dealing with the self appointed Thought Police.
Don,t forget their favourite word “Globalism”
There was no ‘Globalism’ in the paragraph I was quoting from, in the blog post by the Museum Of Pop Culture, Cultural Marxist halfwits!
Thank you and I could not agree more strongly.
AOC and Joy Reid should be obliged to spend the rest of their lives locked up in The Seattle Museum of Pop Culture.
If the freaks come after you you have to be doing something right.
Only a few years back the same JK Rowling was propagating the idiotic lies about the Syrian conflict.
She was just following orders.
Over 30 years ago, I learned that the right jargon to use in the science of sociology is “deviator” rather than “deviant”.
Deviator means simply someone who deviates. A deviant is someone who deviates in a bad fashion.
de·vi·ant
adjective
So in the Bible Belt someone might be a deviant whereas in San Francisco they would be normal.
Rowling’s writings & those movies based on them are not just for children / minors. There are many immature childlike adults, even of advanced age, who are fascinated & addicted to her stuff. I personally know some of them who claim to believe in & practice “science”. They can be categorized as people who believe in &/or promote “magical thinking”.
