If that bitch Joanne isn't trying to describe Jews what other race she hates are you saying she's trying to describe? 

[Propagandhim]

It's true that every fictional species was created to dog whistle.  Every fantasy novel was, in fact, a way to communicate bigoted ideas to the masses.   How do I know this?  Because JRR Tolkien set his novels in 1602 - the very same year the Dutch East India Company was formed, an emblematic institutional entity of colonial white capitalism.

At what corner did anti-racism turn into race-essentialism?

You're confusing 'anti racism' for being 'against racism', not 'the same thing as racism but inverted'. Like antimatter.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

In other Joanne news, they're very mad that she wrote a book about internet trolls harassing and killing a fantasy book author

lmao lol rofl hurr durr hahahaha

what shitty writing, some online crazies taking something perfectly innocuous and turning it into culture war wink wink signposting that only their super secret decoder rings can reveal to be true, hahaha lol lmao rofl what a shitty writer.

You can tell how shitty a writer they are, because their nom de plume is partially the same as an obscure mid 20th century psychologist which is definitely secretly planned as anti gay conversion therapy signal boosting, and also goblins are secret jews, and there are some scenes set in toilets which is transphobic, and also when you add up the numbers of the ISBN its 1488, its all connected sheeple, retweet and repost plz

Always get a kick out of these weirdos who see a goblin in folk fantasy media and in seconds their heart kicks into high gear, limbs stiffen and their blood vessels dilate, right before they scream "JEW!"  As if a writer or developer created a character that looks exactly like Adam Levine - they could never conceive of him as Jewish.   

if you create art of any kind, it's extremely sus to create any racial or ethnic-leaning group with large noses

just don't call attention to anyone's nose in any of your creations, for god's sake

Everytime this thread gets bumped, I just go “oh Good Lord. What now?”

Remember all she was hated for was tweeting Harry Potter lore that nobody cared about?

You’d think she’d learn to shut up

Messofanego

Why would she? This is her business now. Plenty of transphobic outlets will give her exposure. This is how she stays relevant, and this is now her identity. When you're a bigot who's got an interminable enemy, this is all consuming. She's made friends from all of this activity. This is what her new book is about. The only thing that would stop her is what is usual for ex cult members, which is losing that connection with others and being shunned by her own and not being platformed by news outlets or book publishers. She would need to be deplatformed off Twitter where most of her friends are, kicked out of social circles, and only then would she realise "actually I fucked up this whole time" which then begins the apology tour. Although marginalised folks don't have to give her the time of day and she deserves social isolation.

Yet he posts on a forum that's transphobic and have a thread about her, giving that fucking TERF JOANNE exposure.

[Joe Molotov]

JK Rowling is writing for exposure? Times must be tough.

her stance is basically what terf stands for -- trans exclusionary

support groups for women are based around every aspect of the female experience, being raised with an air of extra caution in who you're allowed to be around, the pink toys bought for you, mom having "the talk" about never going anywhere alone because men will overpower you and prey on you, dad having "the talk" about how boys all want to sleep with them, going through puberty, learning to live with period and hormonal changes etc. etc.

she asks trans people to read the room and understand that by suddenly becoming female later in life, they really lack the shared experiences and traumas that most other women have had to grow up with, and how that shapes you as a person, and whether that really enables you to contribute in women's spaces on the same level

not all female groups or events require an innate understanding of what it means to grow up as a woman, but some do

she's also made a number of comments about how much she empathizes with trans people too, because there's at least some level of kinship with being treated as lesser by society, even if they're not exactly the same on every level

She didn't kowtow to the mob, yet still has both her twitter account and her career.

Most of the other targets of their mass harrassment eventually lose their shit, say something reportable, get mass reported and their account suspended, which 'confirms' badthink and then has IRL repercussions. Same deal with Dave Chappelle. Terminally online warriors are madder at these two for understanding online is not a real place and their gang has no real power except what you allow them to have than they are about people who actually do hate trans people and have actual power to harm them.

All this distinguished mentally-challenged could have been avoided if they hadn't picked such a shitty and obviously inherently contradictory axiom to rally behind as "trans women are women".
If they'd picked something like "Trans women deserve respect", JKR would be fucking fund raising for them, instead of having a low level concern some terminally online dipshit is gonna try and stab her at a book signing.

[Uncle]

People in your own fucking community have complained in that fucking thread that its just there to rile people up, and posting things that have nothing to do with her.

and on that note, what the fuck is doxing even

nobody is actually a super hacker who illegally obtains info on the whereabouts of others

some internet weirdos are insanely detail-oriented and can glean more info than you might think possible from looking at a single photo, but still, the doxed person posted that photo, or their address, or they reused usernames across multiple sites and made googling them very easy

if you don't want people to know details about you, don't openly post them

if there's an implied threat in archiving that info and making it available for randos online, then how can we have wikipedia or any archives of any information at all?

when do you cross the line from a private person for whom doxing is supposedly illegal to a public person for whom doxing is just fine like Joanne?
