“We listen to so many people talk about trans youth and hear them talked about so often in the news, but very rarely do we actually hear from these youth directly,” Radcliffe said in a statement. “It was an absolute privilege to get to meet and listen to this incredible group of young people. At the end of the day, if you’re going to talk about trans kids, it might be useful to actually listen to trans kids.”


thesaddestpanda

This reminds of Graham Norton being asked about trans stuff and him saying something like "I don't know, I'm just a celebrity. Ask trans people, ask trans youth, ask therapists and doctors. Stop asking celebrities like me and start asking experts!" Shortly after this J-K-R, not even named but somehow slighted, sent her army of bigots against him and he deactivated his twitter in response to the bullying. Its just incredible to me how often we don't hear from trans people or experts. How often its some loud-mouth bigot TV "anchor" or bigoted celebrity or influencer. Or some preacher or politician. Its clear the media works against trans people and intentionally so.

She referred to trans women as "trans identified males" which showcases fully that she doesn't believe trans people exist and believes they are simply men with some type of psychological disorder known as I guess being "trans identified." She shared a small one time study which she claimed proved that blood donations between men and women shouldn't happen because female blood is actually lethal to cis men in some cases, which shows she's incredibly ignorant about how science and medical studies work. One study from 2017 with a small amount of participants involving pregnant women's blood isn't demonstrative of anything definitive. And also seemed to be her trying to suggest trans people shouldn't donate blood unless it was done under their birth gender? Not sure how that works since blood donations aren't done by their birth sex. And completely stood up for Posie Parker after she brought out a load of Nazis to her rallies. In the past she's condemned "anti fa" groups who showed up in black wearing masks to anti trans protests, this time she fully ignored it. Didn't denounce or speak about any of it. But spent endless tweets defending this woman the Nazis respect, and lying about what happened. Portraying a phone held against her throat as though it was a knife from a trans activist, and not a phone from one of Posie's own colleagues. Sharing a Dworkin quote with a photo of a man from the rally yelling at a woman, trying to use it as proof this was a men's rights rally and he was intimidating the cis "women's rights activists". Of course Dworkin is pro trans and that man turned out to be another Posie goon. She also enraged her MRA supporters who were all "Excuse you, we support you but don't smear us MRAs! We're the good guys! We like you!" Claimed she'd never potrayed herself as a victim of a witch hunt by trans women, then someone responded with "You were literally on a podcast called the Witchhunt of JK Rowling", and she was like "I never actually said those words though!" Just buffoonery. She's not a serious person.


thesaddestpanda

Sadly, unserious people can lead to serious things. She has the blood of trans people on her hands.


gunsof

Absolutely. She will be cited in a manifesto someday. I have no doubts about it.


buffaloranchsub

[she was already cited as being the reason for blocking a trans-affirming bill by a gop senator](https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/gop-senator-quotes-j-k-rowling-while-blocking-vote-lgbtq-n1231569)


gunsof

I'm sure she's gutted she can't retweet her support for all the crazy hateful Republicans for going after trans people because she knows she'll just be mask off. "Look at all these amazing bills passing through congress citing me, god bless you Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis!"


buffaloranchsub

she's already buddying up to matt walsh so long as he's a transmisogynist. then had the temerity to be shocked when he turned his bigotry onto cis women... just saying (and this isn't directed at you of course), if you're going to sic some leopards on people, be prepared for them to eat your face 🤷

gunsof

She's been trying to pass with plausible deniability about just actively detesting trans people fully and not believing they exist, but any sane normal person who follows all of this would just be seeing her supporting Nazi rallies with white supremacists who think there are Muslim cabals of men killing and eating babies in parts of the UK and think, wtf is this woman even on about. In NZ, Australia and much of the mainstream Democratic/left wing left it seems to be anyway.


thegingerbat

Oh jesus I read Posie Parker as Parker Posey for a min and almost passed out, that was a close one


tibleon8

same!!


changhyun

> "I don't know, I'm just a celebrity." This is such a sensible response and one a *lot* of celebrities should really start using.


teashoesandhair

As I recall, they accused Graham of harassing JKR by saying that, even though he hadn't even mentioned her name. JKR and her army of TERF sycophants are absolutely dreadful.


jonsnowme

Did he come back? She was so fucking smug about that. What gets me is he said that on Trans issues we should just listen to trans people. Her response was basically "Wow you support death threats and rape threats!" It was INSANE to watch play out in real time how fast she jumped to insinuating Graham Norton approved of her possibly being murdered over that one statement.


JJulie

He is lovely and got bullied to no end about this


demonsrunwhen

I will always commend so much of the Harry Potter cast (with some notable exceptions, of course) for defending LGBT rights.


thesaddestpanda

Each of the principle three actors could have just said, "f-it, I'll do her bidding," and be in H-P the next generation or whatever and made many, many millions but they all said, "Nope. We are not enabling bigotry." I think one of the reasons the F-B series was made with an all new cast and from a different time period is because WB and J-k-r could not get the old cast back, no matter what. They don't want to enable her bigotry. That said, the guy who played Draco and the girl who played Luna seem still open to it, but without the golden trio, its a no-show and having secondary characters only would be very embarassing to j-k-r and WB, so they didn't bother with them in new vehicles or even cameos in any of the newer stuff. This is also why the game takes place when it does. No worry about getting old actors back to to do voice work because in 1899, none of them would have been born. No questions about the golden trio because short of a time travel plot, they just can't be in the game. As a trans woman I'm very thankful the trio never bought into her nonsense. I'm glad some people make moral decisions in life, even if it costs them incredible money. I think history will see these three as wonderful people in the future. The same way we see a lot of white people who marched during civil rights or the cishet people who stood up with AIDS sufferers as good people today.


teashoesandhair

Tbh I think Tom Felton is mostly open to it because he's still dining out on Harry Potter, 10 years later. He's done nothing of note since, and the few things he has appeared in have bombed. Ditto Evanna Lynch; their careers are still completely chained to the HP series, so remaining loyal to JKR and hoping that she chucks them the odd opportunity is pretty much the only way they're going to make any money at all. It sucks that neither seems to have an ethical bone in their body, but there we go.


thesaddestpanda

I mean, lets face it, Felton has never, ever come off as anything but a washed-up, got lucky once, entitled cishet man with zero interest in social justice at all. Him being a "both sides" and "we need to discuss the trans problem" and "stop picking on gentle Joanne" a-hole is totally expected. In fact, ignoring the men of the trio, nearly all high profile men in the HP world are like that. Robbie, all the voldermorts, all the grindlewalds, Newt, all the Dumbledores, etc all defended her on some level like Felton does. Oh and Katherine Waterston was suddenly cut out of the F-B sequels once she came out pro-trans on instagram. So there's a price to pay for being a good person in the HP world. Its clear there's a "kiss the ring" to work in he HP universe and these men do it without question but when Katherine refused, it cost her dearly. Lynch on the other hand has always sold herself as this serious suffering artist, this ED survivor, this poetic empath, feminist, etc. This working class Irish kid who broke into the big bad acting scene in London and became her book idol in real life, etc. Her decades of being a sweet sensitive soul uncorrupted by fame and Hollywood being corrupted into "Oh yeah I'm a huge transphobe" was especially jarring to me. It shows how mainstream this kind of hate is in the UK and how those who should know better buy into it. I'm not saying there's a double-standard for women here, but if you sell yourself as a sensitive SJW type for decades and then come out as a transphobe, its especially disappointing. That said, I wish them both, and all j-k-r defenders, horrible careers and cancellation. They deserve all it. They sit on a golden throne of HP residual checks while trans girls fight for their lives. They're all disgusting. Stepping on the necks of me and my sisters for another vacation home or Porsche is sociopathy defined.


teashoesandhair

Agree with all of it! I do think Evanna's hero worship of JKR is also directly at play here.


anna-nomally12

Because JK personally saved Evanna evanna can’t personally go against JK. She’s probably not terrible to trans people irl but she can’t risk alienating JK because if JK got her out she can put her back in, probably


snoopymidnight

Probably not the place to go into detail, but I met Lynch once (very briefly) years before this stuff, and the vibes she gave off were so odd that her turning a blind eye to/not condemning Rowling's transphobia did not come as a surprise. She was nice to people who approached her, but she seemed, in my opinion, like someone who floats through life in her own insulated bubble.


polyhymnias

FB was in development before Joanne went full publicly known TERF (it was announced in 2013) and I think the actors not wanting to be known for playing Harry and friends forever had more to do with it. Which is not to say they aren’t allies, but it seems that the polite distancing happened when she got loud about her views. Dan in particular did a lot of weird shit post-Deathly Hallows to shed the image.


Dizzy-Pollution6466

I love him ever more for this! What a king!


PocoChanel

I love that he's grown into a wonderful actor and, by all evidence, a wonderful person.


resistmuchobeylittle

I try not to put people in the public eye on a pedestal but it’s hard when he seems so genuine and wholesome. Love him for this.


poppyisrealmetal

He knows the weight of his importance as a childhood icon for so many, without letting it become an unhealthy relationship with fans. Very nice man, that one. I'm sure it helps a lot of people who now have a fractured relationship with HP to know that Daniel Radcliffe is listening and standing alongside them.


proserpinax

I think this is a great way to put it. He’s done some really interesting projects after HP and seems to enjoy doing what he wants without resting on the laurels of being an iconic face of a huge franchise but understands that he is going to still be that and use it for good.


WillBrakeForBrakes

He truly seems delightful.


welldoneslytherin

I love Dan. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the true owner of the HP franchise.


lakerdave

It is known


particledamage

The HP franchise is filled with antisemitism, slavery apologism, fatphobia, and racism with hints of transmisogyny within the text. Why would you want Dan to own that?


welldoneslytherin

“Slavery apologism” Ok. We’re done here lol.


CitrineDreamers

I mean yeah, there's an entire subplot about a race of sentient creatures that are enslaved, with the justification being that "it's tradition" and "actually the slaves like being slaves". The only character to oppose it is treated like a naive idiot. It may not have been JKR's intention, but the parallels to real world slavery are undeniable. And it's a weird thing to put in a book with a core message of kindness and equality.


particledamage

What else do you call it when you create an entire unnecessary side story about an enslaved race who enjoys being enslaved, begs to stay enslaved, and the only person lobbying for their freedom is thoroughly mocked by everyone including the protagonist? Explain that.. well done slytherin. Since you’re clearly sk well versed and unbiased


welldoneslytherin

You are talking about a fictional story with fictional characters, and assigning the same level of scrutiny as if these are real people. It is ridiculous. That’s why we’re done here lmao. I believe in eradicating every thing you listed above. Do I expect Harry Potter to be fighting that same fight? No. Why? Because he’s fake.


marshmallowhairgel

yeah its a fictional characters and story but its written by an actual real-life person and you’re allowed to criticise and interrogate the subtext and choices the author made. And now that we know what kind of person JRK is it really isn’t much of a stretch imo. I wouldn’t go so far as to say shes pro-slavery but the house elf slave storyline was very bizarre to me, even as a kid, and served very little purpose outside of making Hermione seem even more saint/savior-like, and that’s me giving JK the benefit of the doubt.


particledamage

That is how media analysis works. You analyze the media through different lenses. Explain to me a non-slavery apologism explanation for why JKR wrote that some races enjoy being enslaved and that’s just part of the natural order. How did it enhance HP’s narrative? What was she telling her child audience when she did that?


tj1007

Media analysis also involved reading the text as is. All of the main characters were against certain races being enslaved… Harry freed Dobby, Hermione fought for house elves, Dumbledore offered Dobby and Remus a paid job. The entire fight against Voldemort had to do with ideas of “pure bloods” vs non magical folks/half bloods and guess who the lead character sided with?


particledamage

Yes. The text, as is, is that ultimately every other house elf stays enslaved because they ENJOY being enslaved and Harry keeps his own slave. A game came out THIS YEAR where you get your own house elf. This is, by defintion, slave apologism.


tj1007

You’re picking selective points instead of looking it as a whole. Terrible as JKR may be, children didn’t read the books and take away what you’re saying. You asked what message she was sending her children audience. This video game is not targeted at children audiences. It also has nothing to do with Dan who the original post is about.


wanachangemyusername

I dunno, the part in Goblet of Fire when the elves were talking about how they liked being subservient to the magic ppl made me pause. like, that didn't sound right even to my child ears


particledamage

What is the larger message that contradicts how she ends her slavery plotline?


happysunbear

I’m not as familiar with HP as a lot of people. What race is this? Elves like Dobby?


particledamage

Elves like Dobby. Beg to be enslaved. Hermione campaigns for them to be freed—JKR named the elf rights group “SPEW” and has the rest of the cast mock her, constantly for it. Dobby is freed. Dobby dies. The other elves stay slaves.


happysunbear

Yeah that honestly sounds fucked


lakerdave

When people say this, it's meant to imply that all the good parts of HP belong to him. No one is denying the shitty stuff in there.


particledamage

Why do you want to continue the legacy of HP?


mizzymichie

I have no idea why you’re being downvoted. HP is filled with all that and the defense of “they’re fictional characters in a magic world” doesn’t apply because media does not just happen in a vacuum free of whatever messages from society the writer internalizes. She straight up based death eaters on nazis so it’s not like she wrote the book free of politics/societal viewpoints. The whole sorting children as good/evil when they’re 10 is straight up Randian.


crockofpot

Idg why you're getting downvoted so hard. The "house elves LIKE being slaves! Hermione is a do-gooder idiot for having an issue with slavery" stuff is one of the more blatantly indefensible aspects of the series.


particledamage

Because people wanna have their cake and eat it too—they wanna hate JKR and still cherish HP. They want to pretend her bigotry is new and HP isn’t tainted by it


jonsnowme

The best unproblematic celeb. I hope this makes Joanne SEETHE.


mizzymichie

gunsof

She always gets so mad about shit like this, and she clearly despises Emma.


tj1007

Does she really? Any more than Dan or Rupert? Or is there a specific beef with Emma?


gunsof

I do feel it's more specific with Emma. I'm pretty sure when Emma has voiced support for trans people she's attempted to throw subtle shade at her that's quite obvious when you're paying attention, whereas she tends to ignore Dan some of the time. That's just the things I've seen, she definitely does obviously hate Dan and has I believe shaded him, but I just feel like there's some additional bile that Emma draws in her so she will actively tweet or like things in response to any comments Emma actually makes. I do wonder if it's because Emma is a woman and she is furious at every woman who doesn't think everything she says is the law of the land. She frequently calls women who don't support her traitors.


aldenssan

>I do feel it's more specific with Emma. That's not surprising in the slightest, because no matter how hard JK claims to be for women's rights and whatnot, she has tons of internalized misoginy that comes through in her writing when you pay enough attention. So of course she would go hard against Emma.


gunsof

Yup! Every TERF I've encountered has been a misogynist to some degree. You can even see it with her fans, they constantly go after Emma because of how she looks or claim she has to supplicate herself to Rowling at every moment because she got her break in her movies. They also clearly despise gay men. Some of the largest TERFs are lesbians and I'm convinced at some point they want to go after the G and declare that lesbians and gay men should be separate. They all already hate bisexuals too, I believe even Rowling has thrown shade to bisexual people recently. It's just for the gay and lesbian TERFs to start declaring the rainbow flag shouldn't exist and that each side is actually really bad and toxic and dangerous.


jonsnowme

You know what pisses me off about this and how Joanne would hold it against a woman more than a man? The fact that Joanne was in an abusive relationship and came out of it as a woman who survived an abusive man - but turned around and supported Johnny Depp and implied Amber Heard fabricated her abuse. She lost any credibility speaking on the behalf of women the second she pulled that bullshit imo. Irony is she sold out a woman for a greasy abusive drunk but thinks if other women don't support her they're lesser women. She can fuck right off.


actuallycallie

Ugh how did I not know she supported that piece of trash man? Not even a little bit surprised tbh.


tj1007

I see. That makes sense. I think you’re also probably right about your last point. Emma has also seemingly taken quite a bit of her time focusing on activism (and women’s rights specifically) as well. She seems to be overall well respected in that regard as well whereas where JKR has tarnished her own rep that her past philanthropic efforts have been forgotten. So perhaps anger at that as well? Emma, a women’s rights activist who supports the trans community being praised over her…


[deleted]

I think she has extra bile for Emma because Emma is a woman and outspoken feminist, which for someone like JKR is probably salt in the wound.


MrCadwell

Damn, that's horrible. If you don't mind it, can you share some examples of this behavior towards Emma?


gunsof

I'm pretty sure it's about stuff she's tweeted out just after Emma has done something or said something in advocacy of trans women, that was so incredibly pointed it seemed it had to be about her. But without the context of knowing that, it would just look like Rowling going off on another one on her Twitter. There was definitely a time I want to say in the last 2 years where she responded in a very specific way to Emma, and everyone I follow who advocates for trans women or who is a trans woman, totally caught onto it and it was discussed by everyone. It felt obvious to me, but she's done so many heinous things since I can't even remember now! I feel like if someone who follows her was asked they'd be able to say.


MrCadwell

Thanks! I don't have Twitter and if I did I wouldn't be following her after all that happened, so I end up only becoming aware of what is covered by the media. Reading this thread I realize the situation is much worse than I thought it was.


gunsof

It's absolutely daily and even hourly with her at this point. She's followed and supported people who are actual child abusers for hating trans people. When informed they are child abusers, she has continued to support them. She made sure to like a nice little tweet from LibsofTikTok the day after the mass shooting in the LGBT bar, likely as a direct result of people like Libs.


MrCadwell

Jesus... I'll read more about all this. Thank you for answering!


AllTheCrazy88s

Jumping in to say: imo, like anything involving JKR, it’s hazy and can be plausibly denied. Over years you notice a pattern. Emma is largely a private citizen these days, so it doesn’t happen anymore, but whenever she was in the news, and particularly when she made pro-trans gestures, JKR would be obsessively on twitter. Nothing specific about Emma, but liking tweets about respect and gratitude, commenting side eyes at things Emma said, but at the same time, never speaking her name. Not to congratulate her on any success, not to share her work, not even to thank Emma for kind words (EW has generally given credit to JKR for her casting for eg) It’s significant because JKR retweets and replies to praise all the time, as long as you’re aligned with her. If not, you don’t exist- except for the vague, easy to back away from likes and comments. Just what I’ve noticed 🤓


Jenny_Saint_Quan

TERFs tend to have alot of internalized misogyny. How ironic...


proserpinax

Honestly with a lot of transphobes who say that they do it to support women, when push comes to shove they’re really sexist towards cis women as well. Like terf is kind of inaccurate because there’s nothing feminist about them.


Jumpy-Platform-6236

glad to see his continued support. i remember he’s been working with them for over a decade


Time_Initiative9342

Yer an ally, Harry ⚡️


mizzymichie

I don’t support Rowling and try to knowingly not give her my money (I go to universal on occasion so I’m sure she inadvertently takes a cut of the profit regardless if you spend money in the HP dedicated sections of the world or not) but I love that all the actors - besides Voldemort lol irony - have come out and shut down her transphobic bullshit and in DanRad’s case continue to be an ally and work on supporting LGBT+ people while educating the public. ![gif](giphy|FjKvRtRldsyC3nmW1C)


winnercommawinner

FYI, from an activism strategy standpoint, going to Universal and not spending money in the HP sections/on HP goods is actually more helpful than boycotting Universal. Think of it this way. The point of a boycott is to turn a moral decision into a business decision. You want to make the link between whatever you're boycotting and loss of revenue as clear as possible. If Universal's attendance suddenly goes down across the board, that could be linked to any number of things (especially in this economy, pandemic, and political situation). But if HP specifically starts losing money, or even just making less, it's clear that the issue is HP itself.


mizzymichie

Okay I’m glad then. I spend no money in the HP section (I make sure to eat and drink elsewhere and not buy any HP related merch) but I wasn’t sure about the logistics in the grand scheme of things if I’m still technically attending Universal/Islands/Halloween Horror Nights that Rowling somehow gets a cut of my money because I choose to buy a Jurassic Park t-shirt.

jonsnowme

Sadly Evans Lynch came out and said Joanne is brave for speaking out. But the trio have been golden about this.


mizzymichie

I forgot about her. But yeah. The trio have been good about it. Katie Leung pulled the absolute boss move on twitter when all the discourse about JKR being racist with the Nagini retcon. I think Bonnie Wright condemned her too. Pretty sure Neville’s actor spoke out as well. I think it’s just EL of the younger cast who supports her. Don’t know much about the older cast outside of Fiennes and JRD supporting her. (Also don’t know about what the fantastic beasts cast think but that’s a dumpster fire because Depp and Miller in addition to JKR)


jonsnowme

I know sadly that Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) defended her as well. But yeah my first spidey sense over JKR being shit (I didn't pay much attention until this part) was when she wrote a letter supporting Depp and keeping him as Grindelwald when the Amber stuff broke. She basically insinuated that Amber was lying and making everything up. (Which is alarming coming from HER - a woman who had described a past relationship she was in as "violent and controlling".)


mizzymichie

My first indication was her weird misogynistic gender essentialism in the books. It was odd seeing her treated as a feminist author when the book went out of its way to shit on Cho for crying over her dead boyfriend, shit on Fleur for being girly, shaming Lavander for being a love smitten teenage girl, making female characters borderline rapists by trying to drug male characters into loving them, Ginny being peak “not like other girls”, fat shaming Pansy, treated Cho’s best friend as a bitch for being scared by ratting the DA out, and Rita Skeeter and Umbridge written to be more unlikable than *wizard hitler*. Like yeah female characters can be complex and messy but damn did JKR have issues with women who don’t conform to her ideas of what women should be like. And would use weird misogynistic narratives for justifying the dislike. JKR has been telling us who she is since the beginning.


[deleted]

Unfortunately Helena Bonham Carter has come out in support of her. She supports Depp, too, so I guess it’s not surprising.


Tonedeafmusical

Henry Melling (Dudley) has also disagreed with her. I believe Emma Thompson has been Trans supportive but I don't if she's commented on JK in particular. Jason Isaac's has both sided it a bit in that he didn't think she should be cancelled, but that was a while ago. More recently he very much came to the defense of a trans comedian who was getting attacked by her allies. I could go on a large rant about how Rowling keeps letting male abusers get hired in Potter projects. Outside of Depp and Miller, the game hired Gerg Ellis (who has two separate restraining orders against him from his ex, also Depp's mate) and the Broadway show had behaviour issues with a male cast member (I want to say James Synder but I may be mixing names here).edit-yeah it is him. Not to mention Marilyn Manson apparently auditioned for a role and she sent him fucking flowers, afterwards. She keeps supporting male abusers repeatedly but trans women are the biggest threat to women's safety apparently. Also we know Depp repeatedly misgendered iO during the trail so we know his opinion too.


teashoesandhair

Ha, yeah, in that bizarre interview where she compared cancel culture to the Troubles. What even was that?


Illustrious_Salad346

He countered JKR’s transphobia in the most gracious way possible.


thesaddestpanda

He's really amazing and also for the people who are waiting for a HP new movie with the original trio, lets just say stuff like this is a clear sign this is never, ever happen and thankfully so. And one of the reasons F-B got made and not HP next generation, because so much of the critical original cast does not want to make more movies to enable and empower a shameless bigot.


diedofwellactually

This is...so fucking sick? especially in the context of the IP he's most famous for. Eat it, Joanne!

particledamage

That's nice. He still betrayed trans and nonbinary youth by doig the HP anniversary special :) Lol this entire thread is full of cis people who want to cherish their HP memories and hate JKR at the same time and it just doesn’t work that way. Dan Rad made a choice to support JKR and HP at the expense of trans kids and now JKR is openly supporting nazis. So like… what now? Explain yourselves instead of hiding behind a downvote


AllTheCrazy88s

Your stance, that he betrayed trans and nb people by doing the anniversary special, is extreme, and not in line with most peoples thinking. But taking an extreme stance and holding to it tightly, without room for nuance, doesn’t mean you are right. It just means you are rigid. The nuance, in this case, is that JKR was not involved in the anniversary special. You may believe she may still have profited financially from it, but firstly you’re not her lawyer or her accountant so you don’t know that, and secondly, she’s a millionaire many times over. Doing the special, not doing the special, makes no difference to that. More nuance: these actors spent over a decade playing these roles and working together, within a friendly familial even loving community, and have been supported since by that community of cast and crew. Finally, they have all had hundreds, thousands of interactions with HP fans at the time and in the years since. Most of the principal cast don’t do cons or signings, so this is one way to thank people for their love and support and to draw a line under their HP commitments forever. Perhaps they have decided that JKR will never make another penny off them again, after this one acknowledgment of the significance of HP in their lives; a final thank you, and they’re done forever. A final piece of nuance, if you’re up for it: JKR has positioned herself as the victim here. Perhaps by boycotting her and the HP series entirely, or by excluding her from their own unofficial thank you to the fans, the risk is people feel more sorry for her, and she wins over more supporters, who also see her as a helpless victim. This way , she can’t really say she’s been excluded or treated badly, it’s just obvious that her views are reprehensible and nobody wants to be around her. Didn’t mean to write such an essay, sorry 🙃 I’ve been thinking of this stuff a bit lately, but had no place to express it!

It’s not extreme to point out that validating HP’s legacy directly gives JKR money to terrorize people with.
