If you ever said a nice thing about this ambulatory bag of dumpster juice, much less made dumbfuck apologias for her or her work in my replies, you should fucking be ashamed of yourself and re-examine every dumb opinion you ever had.
Did a whole thread a while back as to why ostensible "liberals" allying with neo-nazis working to FUCKING LITERALLY unperson people makes an ostensible liberal a nazi and beshits everything else out of their bigoted fucking mouths, and a few TERFs came out to protest, so if you want to get ostensibly "liberal" nazis out of your feed, you might find some in the replies.

I saw this segment on Times (UK) Radio where an older going-way-back feminist campaigner was telling a somewhat younger feminist and boisterous pal-of-Joanne-Rowling that she, the older lady, had fought every iteration of conservative bigotry going back to when they actually arrested and beat up and tortured gay people for being gay and the language of the anti-trans people sounds exactly the same as it did back then because the language of the in-group trying the beat the out-group into line is ALWAYS the same. The younger feminist snapped back that, well, you see, that's how WE (Joanne and her, I guess) are different, we're NOT the conservative Ancien Regime shitheads, we are proud liberals, so that tells you our particular notion of whom to unperson is just and correct, and, man . . . I don't know how to fucking tell you this in a nice way because there really isn't a nice way but when you agree with Tories and Republicans and actual fucking neo-Nazis full-throatedly and out loud, specifically in support of a newly minted public Holocaust-denier, to insist your pet bigotry is the ONE bigotry in the entirety of a history of Proper Society stomping on the faces of marginalized people that is THE smart and well-meant bigotry, you've turned in your Decent Human Being Card. You are as right-wing as the shit you do and, TERFS, you are right-wing as every last fuck because - and I cannot yell this loudly enough - you agree with literally the shittiest people in the fucking world. And I know that won't move you to fuck off, as you should, or at least try to be a better person, but, in any rational timeline, it fucking well would.

Just fwiw, "I am very liberal, I just happen to be selective with regards to who deserves freedom" doesn't make you REMOTELY not a fucking fascist. You might as well be wearing a goddamn MAGA cap.
Herrenvolk democracy isn't democracy and if you are a functioning rational fundamentally decent human being it should not require some internet rando in fucking Wisconsin to type that while shitting on your favorite hate-vomiting children's book author to get you to understand that.
Everyone who JK Rowling considers an enemy is a fucking angel by comparison because JK Rowling is verifiable dogshit as a person and malevolence is the motivation of every goddamn thing she does.

@[email protected] I think it was twain who pointed out that you should not only judge a man by his friends, but by his enemies. I like her enemies.

Pedro Pascal, an actual good person, has a message for JK Rowling and every neo-nazi cunt who has allied with her.
And keep in mind, every actor who has said YES to the Harry Potter reboot 100 fucking percent knows this is going on and understands the enterprise they signed up to endorse - including, sorry to say, John Lithgow and Nick Frost - and most of them can find work pretty much fucking ANYwhere.
And don't get me wrong, I understand the emotional attachment to an entertainment brand and series of stories that was part of your or your kids' upbringing and coming to understand a big crazy complicated world. I'm just saying that now, in this moment, with the information you have in this ACTUAL big crazy world, giving money in any way to JK Rowling is basically saying "I agree with and support the agenda of Marjorie Taylor Green and wish her well in nazifying the world." Imagine what kind of awful, irredeemable piece of shit actually says that and, guess what, that's you now. Sleep tight.
Just blueskying here, wholly respectful of the power of stories, but maybe an actual transnational billionaire-sponsored neo-nazi agenda of unpersoning people for no fucking reason whatsoever poses slightly more potential damage to the world than marginally inconveniencing your dozy nostalgia.
Haven't been in journalism for a while, but, just a thought, "Nick Frost Signs On to Appear in TV Show That Will Raise Funds for Hate Groups" is definitely better clickbait.
I swear to fucking god, these people.
If you have to say "Yes, we are working with the extremely problematic leader of Patriot Front, but we promise the output will not have tons of overt neo-nazi messaging," maybe the fucking problem is with the FIRST PART.

HBO Exec Promises ‘Harry Potter’ Series ‘Not Secretly Being Infused’ With J.K. Rowling’s Anti-Trans Rhetoric

An HBO exec has promised fans of the Harry Potter franchise that the upcoming TV series will not be "infused" with J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans beliefs.

Rolling Stone

@GrimmReality

“‘HARRY POTTER’ SERIES ‘NOT SECRETLY BEING INFUSED’ WITH J.K. ROWLING’S ANTI-TRANS RHETORIC”

Oh, they’re just going to do it openly then?

@GrimmReality We could encourage an alternative IP. Jill Murphy's "The Worst Witch" pre-dates Harry Potter
@geolaw @GrimmReality and Naomi Novik's Scholomance series which is just better in every way

@geolaw @GrimmReality

Ursula K. Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea predates Harry Potter by 25 years but tells the story of a young copper skinned goat herder gifted with magic, going off to wizard school.

In my opinion it's a jewel of a book, and the trilogy (later a quartet), are the finest fantasy storytelling available.

As someone once said "Rowling can type. Le Guin can write".

#LeGuin #UrsulaKLeGuin

@pete @geolaw @GrimmReality After A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, and Tehanu, There's also The Other Wind.

I first read the trilogy 37 years ago, at the age of 10, re-read it so many times before finishing high-school, I could probably write a pretty comprehensive summary from memory. Because of that my first impression of H.P. was that it was unoriginal, so I never read the books, only watched the films.

Also Earthsea is far from being Le Guin's only work of note. There's also works like The Dispossessed, The Left Hand of Darkness, and Gifts, among so many others, that the number of literary awards she's won are around double those awarded to the closest of the great science fiction authors of her era, Asimov.

@NaomiElizabeth @geolaw @GrimmReality

Yes! I discovered Le Guin in the school library. I'm not a great reader, struggled with English and essay based subjects at school, but I loved Le Guin. I think I probably was a bit young for The Dispossessed. But I remember reading it standing by the book stands. It was eye opening to say the least.

@geolaw @GrimmReality Light-novel versions of Ascendance of a Bookworm and The Apothecary Diaries. Both have excellent English translations, have 33 (!!!) and 13 (ongoing) volumes respectively, and both absolutely shit upon H.P. from a very great height.

(Don't judge Ascendance by the anime, I consider the Light Novels superior to the entirety's of Tolkien's Middle Earth saga, Frank Herbert's Dune series, and Asimov's Foundation series).

@GrimmReality so she's recreating Hannibal from the A-Team? Implying that by un- personing transwomen she has helped women's spaces remain safe? And that putting a bunch of underqualified, conservative judges that already are working at taking women's right to their bodies was her plan all along?

I guess I should verify because it's just so bad I don't want it to be real.

@GrimmReality ah it was the UK supreme court... So then it is legit.
@GrimmReality yep, utterly disappointing from them all and esp these two.
@GrimmReality his little sister is trans. the man’s a king, and a Latino king at that. that he’s distantly related to Salvador Allende makes it even better.
@blogdiva NO FUCKING WAY
@blogdiva I mean about the Allende thing, I know about his sister and mentioned that in the alt-text.
@GrimmReality distant relative by his mom. when i found out i literally screamed, LOL
@blogdiva DEF SCREAMABLE! ❤️
@blogdiva @GrimmReality Also, he's hella sexy in a sort of rugged, unconventional way. I definitely would! 😍

@GrimmReality

the same message applies to trump

oh, and netanyahu

@GrimmReality I thought it was about Palestine at reading it first, it also works though.

@GrimmReality

THIS IS THE WAY!!! 💙😎👏

(How am I the only one with this comment? 😂)

@GrimmReality When somebody in a position of power and influence tells me to fear a certain group, my default position is to speak out in full support of the group in question. Trans people are simply the latest group to whom I've given support.
