(Anonymous) 2022-05-07 10:37 am (UTC)(link)Sorry for another SA, but basically what I mena to say is that JKR sounds to me like a a big problem only in a very niche, mostly online circle, as opposed to the wide society where the male transphobic creator thrive and don't seem to worry much about being boycotted by many people.

(Anonymous) 2022-05-07 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)Now as for your other point about if radical feminists have more power in general than male transphobes, my answer is no. The UK is only really different in that JKR has much more power and influence than most radical feminists in the rest of the world, and she’s still a very notable voice. She has more sway over perception on this matter than she reasonably should, all because she’s a famous author. But in the rest of the world, and the UK as well in most ways, rich male bigots do still have more power. JKR has sway, and she can influence things greatly. More than most actual female politicians. But she’s not actually the one literally running the nation. And that’s still a male majority, a stranglehold.
I honestly think Notch might not have been the best example to use, because I feel like there’s multiple other transphobic men that have much more power than him. I get why you used him though, him being a creator of media and all(and tbf, I can’t actually think of a better example, so me saying Notch might not be the best doesn’t mean much). But I just don’t think he compares to JKR. Who whether you think her political stances are niche issues or not, is still one of the most successful authors, and content creators in general, of all time. She was at one point the richest woman in the UK. Harry Potter is still a multimedia juggernaut, even now that it’s in it’s flop era. Granted, if anything can rival that, it’s probably Minecraft. But unlike Harry Potter and JKR, the majority of Minecraft fans don’t seem to have the same kind of creator worship towards Notch. He’s the least important aspect of the game to them, at least in the aspects they regularly consider. Most just focus on the game, obviously excluding the vocal faction of alt-righters. But I wonder how interested most of them actually were in the game before they found out the creator shared their views. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t still benefit greatly from being the original creator, in every way possible. Like I said, his power and influence is certainly not negligible. I just don’t agree that it’s on the same level as JKR’s.
But that’s only my thoughts on him as an individual. Successful male creators still have the system leaning in their favor even now, and they still face less backlash by the general public for major infractions than female creators face for even the most minor(and sometimes imaginary infractions, at that).
I’m not even going to pretend I’m some kind of expert on this subject though. Again, these are just my thoughts. Thanks for hearing me out, as well as being very civil. Your points have been well-said, and you very well could be right, and me wrong.
