JKR is responsible for the extended Harry Poter universe though, isn't she?

Yeah, especially that "wizards used to poop on the floor" thing

I don't understand the outcry over this, the best part of history at school was learning about Roman toilets, Victorian toilets and about George II (who died on the toilet.) Kids love poop stuff, it's hilarious and British history does like to talk about toilets xD

It's stupid because of the whole recentness. It really feeds into the "wizards are stupid and backwards"

I mean...as a Discworld fan, they kinda are.

The relieving yourself where you stood thing was a real historical thing, wasn't it? I'm sure I read accounts of the ladies of the court reeking of piss because they'd just go where they were and someone would clean it up.

I definitely know that there was always a chamber pot in the billiard room of grand houses so that the men didn't have to interrupt their game.

There's historical context to it. People did just shit & piss everywhere.

https://www.history.com/.amp/news/royal-palace-life-hygiene-henry-viii

“Feces and urine were everywhere,” Eleanor Herman, author of The Royal Art of Poison, says of royal palaces. “Some courtiers didn't bother to look for a chamber pot but just dropped their britches and did their business—all of their business—in the staircase, the hallway, or the fireplace."

From the same article:

Despite its reputation for magnificence, life at Versailles, for both royals and servants, was no cleaner than the slum-like conditions in many European cities at the time. Women pulled up their skirts up to pee where they stood, while some men urinated off the balustrade in the middle of the royal chapel.

Right...like how does this person think it began to exist.

OP might as well be straightforward about it and say that JKR being a transphobe doesn't bother them

TBH, plenty of other people have made that exact secret anyway so IDK why it would bother them or what this adds

All secrets are valid my friend.

I can sympathize with the OP. I'm in multiple fandoms for works whose creators were nasty pieces of shit. As long as the canon remains enjoyable, I can still feel the hype. But if the creator sucks AND the canon begins to suck, then all the joy is sucked out of the fandom.

I'm personally in the opposite situation. World of Warcraft has recently started being more inclusive of POCs and LGBT people, but it's happening at the time when both the gameplay and the lore sucks major ass, so inclusivity alone doesn't make up for the shitty gaming experience, even though I'm LGBT myself. I wish it had happened at the time when I still enjoyed the game.
