RE: this latest rowling beef, is it wrong for me to think neither side looks good in this, even if i'm more sympathetic to rowling being the "vic"
I'm just real tired of people putting themselves into a position where they will receive Twitter Harassment (oh noooo) and then acting as if their lives are ruined because people harassed them on Twitter.
Those three activists, whose names have already been forgotten by anyone besides the trans community and only the most insane wastoid JK defenders, have now reached global publicity within the trans activist community. They can, from this point on, post a weepy gofundme link and have their coffers filled within days. All the while they are ever in any actual danger.
But lets all nod very seriously and pretend that JK Rowling somehow ordered their deaths by @'ing them on twitter... the platform they themselves used to post the photo with the address they wanted shared.
Meanwhile, this multi-billion(?) dollar UK National Treasure is complaining about three horribly dressed protestors in front of her house and tying that back into the death threats she and others have received as if those three protestors would somehow add to the vitriol she is constantly receiving anytime anyone even mentions the name "Harry Potter"? Everyone here is a grifter and they're all making money on the outrage generated by the outrage generated by the outrage generated (ad infinitum).
