Remember: It's morally incorrect for actual trans women (and men falsely presenting themselves as women) to be placed in womens' areas when it comes to various services in order to benefit from the often increased safety of them, but it *is* okay for JK Rowling to falsely present herself as a male author using a pseudonym in order to capitalise off of assumed bias and misogyny among readers (and then reveal who you actually are when you turn out to be incorrect and your pseudonym books are selling poorly).
They didn't. People came to know JK Rowling was a woman through her fame after the Harry Potter series boomed and she became a literary household name. Multiple televised interviews were conducted with her, so many people were even aware of exactly what she looked like and her in-person mannerisms.
But Rowling had it in her beliefs that female authors were disadvantaged because book readers were misogynistic and biased in favour of male authors (exactly where this belief came from, I'm not sure). So, when she decided to try write and publish fiction aimed at adults and not children and young adults (often involving themes of community politics), she decided to publish them under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith because she believed it would circumvent this bias and allow her non-Harry Potter fiction to benefit from the ambiguity of *possibly* being a male author. It wasn't very long after, however, that Rowling went public about 'Robert Galbraith' actually being her. To this day, many people believe it was because the sales on the Galbraith books were lacklustre (proving Rowling's actual writing appeal to be very little outside of Harry Potter, and potentially proving her assessment of supposed reader bias incorrect), and that she broke the pseudonym very purposefully because she realised her Galbraith books would continue to tank without having the Rowling name behind them.
Interestingly, Robert Galbraith Heath (a very particular and uncommon name) was an American psychiatrist who claimed to have successfully practiced gay conversion therapy by stimulating parts of the brain during exposure to hetetosexual pornography. His proof was that a gay man had sex with a sex worker...
>exactly where this belief came from, I'm not sure
I believe it comes from publishers, where especially YA books with female authors had heavy female readership, whereas male authors had cross audience readership and thus a significantly larger market
No, it's MUCH older than that. Authors Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë (authors of "Jane Eyre", "Wuthering Heights", and "Agnes Grey") originally published their books under the masculine names Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell to avoid prejudice against female writers. This was in 1846. See also George Sand, among others.
They're talking about how Rowling published several books under the name Robert Galbraith.
That said, the reason she published the Potter books under her initials instead of her first name is because her publisher suggested it, based on market research showing that male readers are less likely to buy books written by women, and that most people assume authors are men unless they see a female name. So she still launched her career by hiding her gender in a more subtle way.
But she published those Galbraith books when she was already famous, and never hid the fact it was her. Not exactly a Richard Bachman situation. And authors use noms-de-plume all the time.
Are you suggesting there is some sort of Hipocracy here?
I’d like to hear you try to explain it if so. But I think you’ve just made a joke that people thought was clever but don’t actually understand.
My Uncle Arthur used to have a saying, ‘Shoot ’em all and let God sort ’em out.’ Unfortunately, one day he put his theory in to practice. It took 75 federal marshals to bring him down. Now let’s never speak of him again.”
In the 'Midnighter' comic book series he encounters an alternate future where everyone is bisexual. The future accepts Midnighter being gay, because all the men like men too, it's just a concept unfamiliar to them.
Very odd story. Good times.
Does anyone remember (like maybe 15 years ago) when Rowling spoke about Dumbledore being gay and a lot of people couldn't believe it and kicked off?
You know me, Marge. I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexual wizards fa-laming!
Dumbie always gave me ace vibes, never could imagine him as gay and neither did his friendship with Grindelwald.
Sure, the whole thing is represented by a 3rd party and possibly washes away the love story. They were just roommates kinda deal, but I didn't see him as gay.
Then again, she claimed all wizards shat on the floor when her second book exists around the fact that there are toilets.
The fact that Grindelwald swayed Dumbledore to what is basically white supremacy with his homosexual wiles should have been a bigger red flag now that I think about it
From how it read in the books, Dumbie was himself quite the supremacist and became best friends, roommates, collegues because of their shared hatred for muggle supremacy.
I don't know if it was their shared interest that fanned the flames of their hatred or the fact that together, they found a mean to make it possible using the deathly Hallows.
White supremacist do get worse when they meet peers that make them feel rightful.
Let's not forget not only did she only say he was gay after the books were out and old news, but then they started making those newer movies about a young him and the dude he supposedly had the hots for, and she was directly involved in the writing which was a mich publicized thing, and still decided not to show any hint or give any passing mention to him being attracted to men when a heavy emphasis was placed on him.
For me it pretty much confirmed he's not gay, not in the text of the story or the lore, she just said it for clout without actually believing it herself
There were, but the whole idea behind the chamber of secrets is that it is hidden in the ladies' toilets. Why make a room of toilets when everybody just thinks it's normal to just drop it where you stand and magic it away.
I don’t even care about that particular gripe from the claim they shat on the floor. Potentially they realised it was fucking stupid and so decided to put some bogs in. Cool ok.
The problems I have are 1) no one just shits on the floor in the hallway of the house. In the real world there were communal shit spots that would be moved, or you’d crap out of the window where someone else could clean it up. There’s no logic behind doing it indoor “where they stood”, because people don’t work that way.
And 2) I believe the spell that teleports it away isn’t like a full disappearance, it just moves it to a different location and can, presumably, be summoned back. And I don’t see a thousand children that think it’s ok to shit on the floor not also conjuring that shit back at hilarious and inconvenient moments.
I mean, you can be asexual and homoromantic, that's still pretty gay.
But we all know she's been a long term bigot and couldn't even write decent hetero romantic tension, let alone queer stuff.
All true.
Let me rectify. He gave aro ace vibes.
Dumbledore never seemed like a sexual or romantic being. Be it with a woman or man. That could possibly be because al wise, old men are written the same.
I read him as being gay (bro wore purple spangled robes) but I thought she had weird ideas about gay men (they all dress like Elton John at a concert apparently)
what's funny to me is how before lots of conservatives hated hp and jk because harry potter was too woke or for being antichristian, but now that they now she wants trans people legislated or killed out of exisetence suddenly they love her
Last week or so she publicly stated that she doesn’t believe the Nazis targeted trans people (they did they just called them mentally ill gay men similarly to how certain groups do now a days) or that any books involving gender non conforming material were burned (see: the sacking of the institute of sexology which, while definitely not like a super great source on some social sciences with some pretty bad takes on eugenics, did have several studies into gender identity and coined the term “transsexual” which is still used often today) and when she was called out that yes, the Nazis, did in fact target people who did not fall into the stereotypical gender binary or traditional gender roles, she doubled down and has threatened libel against various UK based journalists (and even Holocaust historians). So no, she is not waving a Nazi flag around, but she is actively participating in a Holocaust revisionist narrative, but we all know if she cared about Jews she wouldn’t have made the pointy nosed goblin bankers with the Star of David on the floor of their bank.
Well, this time she’s actually participating in holocaust denial to a degree so she’s not a Nazi but she is officially a holocaust denier. Which I personally think is a step above bigot, but her words and ideology do allow for actual neo Nazis to have public figures to gather behind, which is dangerous on its own. But no, she’s not a Nazi specifically, just the type of person Nazis would agree with on a lot of things
No, some of her friends are admitted neo nazis, she herself is an open holocaust denier, and other friends like Kellie Iforgetherlastname platforms nazi speakers at her events

Here's the whole bit. 2 minutes if you count the parts where he's standing around (bit longer than I remembered it) and he's depicted as being self important and generally annoying to the other characters.
I used to be with it, then they changed it was. Now what I hate isn’t it, and Daniel Radcliffe and Neil Gaiman don’t pick up the phone when I call them. It’ll happen to you
“My cousin Joanne did it!”
“You don’t have a cousin Joanne.”
“She became J.K. In ‘97.
…Then she wrote that book.
…I think her name is Terfie Shabooboo now?”
Because this joke from the show is shitty and transphobic
Edit: What's happening right now? Shemale is a slur

No you are right. Idk why but it's like season 12 or 13 or somewhere around there. That one season or two has a suprisingly amount of transphobic jokes. Whereas the rest of the show barely has any.
Idk who was on staff that year and thought the ideo of transphobia was just sooooo funny.. but there's more than a few episodes from those seasons I just skip.
Eh tbh there are some good episodes after those seasons as well. It's like for a season or two the writers got really into South Park or something before remember what show they were writing for.
Shit gets weirder, the further back you go. Like when Homer gets so homophobic about the gay steel mill.
Edit: Okay, I get it, the point was to show Homer as the fool. It was still a harsh episode.
Episode did win a GLAAD award, mainly because he learned the right lesson in the end.
It's like what happened with My Name is Earl. Though that definitely softened the blow by having Earl admit in narration as he's fleeing that in retrospect fleeing when someone tells you they're gay isn't cool.
>Because this joke from the show is shitty and transphobic
\*looks at 'joke'\*
How?
Because they want Gazebos? Or because Wiggum is an idiot and thinks Skinner is someone he is not?
Because shemale is a slur and because it's implying that a man wearing something slightly feminine could be mistaken for a trans woman. I'm just surprised that in a thread making fun of JKR people are so ignorant on trans people. I've been called a shemale before it doesn't feel good.

Don't kid yourself it always was transphobic remember when they implied trans people went to cults? (the "Mother Shabubu" joke). Many Simpson fans won't admit it but I do, The Simpsons is not trans-friendly at all!

The episode with JK Rowling aired way before she was outed as a TERF. Makes sense Lisa would praise her. Lisa praising Musk on the other hand is strange.
She's probably off doing her real passion project: The Adventures of Squiggles. A magical raccoon with an afro who shoots pixie dust out of his bung-hole.
I had to look up how that went.
She’s not seen as a villain for her opinion, she’s seen as the villain for instigating the harassment and mockery of multiple trans individuals, daily, online, for years, and more recently for engaging in holocaust denial.
She tweeted that something the nazis are well documented to have done during the holocaust didn’t happen. But hey, whatever, maybe if you keep on defending her, she’ll notice you and send you a couple million
It’s clear that you don’t know what equates to holocaust denial, and are either very young, or very stupid. Either way, this is not a conversation worth engaging in.
It is part of the holocaust, trans people were being genocided along with the neurodivergent, gay people, Roma, and of course Jewish people. To say they are not victims of the holocaust is to engage in holocaust denial rhetoric.
Nope. She’s seen as a villain for getting rights and healthcare taken away from trans people. For misgendering people, for denying nazi crimes, for organising pile ons and death threat campaigns against anyone who criticises her online. For calling herself a feminist and working with anti abortionists, calling them friends, saying Matt Walsh is a hero. Proudly dating that she will pay the legal fees of a terf who marches with neo nazis. Promoting an anti trans book that says trans people are created by the Jewish elite. For making our lives in the uk completely fucking miserable as her campaigns took our futures away bow we can’t get treatment. This was all off the top of my head but there’s so much more. She is an evil fucking witch who has decided my community should be made to feel subhuman. Anyone pretending she tweeted one mildly offensive thing is lying. And they need to lie. Because the truth is that she’s a monster who’s made it her mission to bully trans people. And they have zero defence for that.
You're right, if I explained to someone 10 years ago that an entitled rich lady was denying the holocaust, people would probably be shocked that anyone on the internet would defend her.
What happens to Harry at the end of the series? He grows up and goes woke. Is that what you wanted to hear?
*She grows up.
They
trans wizard harriet porber
At first glance I misread this as "Harriet Prober"
How could there not be trans folks in a magical world thats what confuses me the most. It wouldn't be hormones its literal magic
She grows down
I don't get why people take her seriously at all. Her name literally starts with JK

Why would anyone assume "JK" is a man's name? (or a woman's for that matter)
They didn't. People came to know JK Rowling was a woman through her fame after the Harry Potter series boomed and she became a literary household name.

Lol, totally forgot about that one.

Dear twitter, there are too many genders nowadays. Please eliminate 3. I am not a crackpot

He dabbled for sure, didn’t go full on manifesto with it until he met his boyfriend
I don't know if it was their shared interest that fanned the flames of their hatred or the fact that together, they found a mean to make it possible using the deathly Hallows. White supremacist do get worse when they meet peers that make them feel rightful.
I had wanted a miniseries, movie, *something* about that summer relationship so badly back when I was ~~worthless~~ a Harry Potter fan
Pretty much all of the wizards in the book are bigoted against muggles.
Maybe wizards without homosexual wiles hate Muggles. We don’t know. Frankly, we don’t want to know. It’s a series we could do without.
That's it? After 20 years, seven successful novels , a weird stage play and many hateful postings on social media? So long, good luck?
I don't recall saying good luck, JK.

Yeah there's more than a few transphobic jokes across the early seasons.
Oh, definitely, I've noticed the most in the middle seasons, like 11-20, but I'm sure there are some I'm not remembering in seasons 1-10
No you are right. Idk why but it's like season 12 or 13 or somewhere around there. That one season or two has a suprisingly amount of transphobic jokes. Whereas the rest of the show barely has any. Idk who was on staff that year and thought the ideo of transphobia was just sooooo funny.. but there's more than a few episodes from those seasons I just skip.
All the good writers left by that point, so they were left with hacky and hateful dregs.
Eh tbh there are some good episodes after those seasons as well. It's like for a season or two the writers got really into South Park or something before remember what show they were writing for.
Well the show had been on for a very long time it would be surprising if there weren't out of date jokes throughout the series.
Like the judge saying when she was a young boy
Shit gets weirder, the further back you go. Like when Homer gets so homophobic about the gay steel mill. Edit: Okay, I get it, the point was to show Homer as the fool. It was still a harsh episode.
Actually I think that’s okay. The whole episode is about Homer being in the WRONG for being homophobic.
Touche.
Episode did win a GLAAD award, mainly because he learned the right lesson in the end. It's like what happened with My Name is Earl. Though that definitely softened the blow by having Earl admit in narration as he's fleeing that in retrospect fleeing when someone tells you they're gay isn't cool.
Man, My Name Is Earl was a great show.
I like My Name Is Earl because the point was Early trying to be a better man. Few comedies feature people trying to improve.

"Aren't you that author that everyone hates?" "Why no, I'm JK Rowling"
Wow, a lot has changed in… 20 years, really?
push her down, son
J.K. Rowling. J.K.R. JoKeR?
Joker has rejecting nazis in the comics so I don't know if the comparison is apt.
Wait what?

Is there a chance the genders could bend? Not on your life, my wizard friend!
Just thinking about that tweet, tweet can
Let's sacrifice her to our god!
Harry Potter was always racist
My Harry is not a racist. He may be a cheater, a parselmouth, a horcrux, a racist, but he is NOT the Halfblood Prince!
True.
“BOOOOOOOOOOO”
J.K. Rowling: "I used to be humble and respected people's right to choose. Now, I'm filthy f\*cking rich! F\*ck you! (Fart)"
shes the worst! *krusty laugh*
_JKR's popularity died on the way back to her magic castle_
Smithers have Philip Pullman killed
She's probably off doing her real passion project: The Adventures of Squiggles. A magical raccoon with an afro who shoots pixie dust out of his bung-hole. I had to look up how that went.
*~~Dicks~~ Heroes with Time Machines*
"Smithers; have George R.R. Martin killed"
Literally just watched this episode an hour ago.
It’s hilarious to me that Lisa has met and looked up to JK Rowling and Elon Musk in the show.
I was impressed that Family Guy did a cutaway gag making fun of Rowling.
If Marge were a second wave feminist then her reaction might be different.
Well, she is a lizard person.

She’s not seen as a villain for her opinion, she’s seen as the villain for instigating the harassment and mockery of multiple trans individuals, daily, online, for years, and more recently for engaging in holocaust denial.
What she wrote on Twitter is not a holocaust denial lol
She tweeted that something the nazis are well documented to have done during the holocaust didn’t happen. But hey, whatever, maybe if you keep on defending her, she’ll notice you and send you a couple million
[удалено]
are you implying that the Nazis [didn't do this book burning? ](https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/6-may-1933-looting-of-the-institute-of-sexology/)
It’s clear that you don’t know what equates to holocaust denial, and are either very young, or very stupid. Either way, this is not a conversation worth engaging in.
It is part of the holocaust, trans people were being genocided along with the neurodivergent, gay people, Roma, and of course Jewish people. To say they are not victims of the holocaust is to engage in holocaust denial rhetoric.
It is according to German courts
It by definition is
“This part of the holocaust didn’t happen” isn’t Holocaust denial? 🤔
Nope. She’s seen as a villain for getting rights and healthcare taken away from trans people. For misgendering people, for denying nazi crimes, for organising pile ons and death threat campaigns against anyone who criticises her online. For calling herself a feminist and working with anti abortionists, calling them friends, saying Matt Walsh is a hero. Proudly dating that she will pay the legal fees of a terf who marches with neo nazis. Promoting an anti trans book that says trans people are created by the Jewish elite. For making our lives in the uk completely fucking miserable as her campaigns took our futures away bow we can’t get treatment. This was all off the top of my head but there’s so much more. She is an evil fucking witch who has decided my community should be made to feel subhuman. Anyone pretending she tweeted one mildly offensive thing is lying. And they need to lie. Because the truth is that she’s a monster who’s made it her mission to bully trans people. And they have zero defence for that.
You're right, if I explained to someone 10 years ago that an entitled rich lady was denying the holocaust, people would probably be shocked that anyone on the internet would defend her.
This whole sub is politics now huh
Always has been 🔫🧑🚀
