She is a billionaire who created one of the most popular book series in Earth and is still actively making blockbuster movies and is actively in the public eye constantly. That's why she has a platform. I don't think "ignore her and she'll go away" is going to work or take those things away. I don't think it's obsessing over her to reject what she says and I don't know how exactly you want people to react or why it's wrong to condemn her for spreading views that you disagree with and think are harmful.

I also reject what she says. But I've seen a whole lot more performative hate-memes and long rambling essays about JKR in particular and actually less debunking of TERF talking points than my dash usually sports, so it does feel like emotionally skewed priorities.

I think many people have emotional reactions to it, yes, that sometimes they want to express. I kinda think that's understandable and natural.

I think it's fine to condemn her views too, but I wonder why anybody cares what some middle-aged author thinks of trans people and gender anyway. (I am middle-aged, by the way.)

I can appreciate that it could ruin her books for some people (which sucks for people who like Harry Potter) and maybe affect sales, but that's the risk she takes by taking a side in a cultural issue.

Otherwise, she's just another jackass with an opinion. She's not even donating to politicians that would hurt trans causes or anything, is she? Just flapping her twitter gums and writing essays about this fight she has no dog in?

[(Anonymous)]

She's a really successful author who is currently writing a bunch of movies and is very visible in the public eye and a bunch of people listen to what she says because they really liked her books?

[(Anonymous)]

Because... People listen to her??? Young people??? They do listen! She has influence! To act otherwise is stupid.
