here's the thing, if she were still a struggling, no-name single mother fantasy writer ranting on twitter i'd feel bad for her

but like

(Anonymous) 2024-01-05 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
*to be clear i mean feel bad for her as in like "oh no, a misguided person who is attributing her struggles to the wrong things" not that she'd suddenly be justified

hard to pity millionaires

Its not even that much of an original idea. Worst Witch beat her to it minus 'the chosen one' gimmick.

(Anonymous) 2024-01-06 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Anon, I really think you should listen to everyone who's told you that the concept of both books had been many times done before either series and accusing JK or copying The Worst Witch makes you look very naive. Do a Google search on books about schools for witchcraft if it helps.

Oh fuck off, she doesn't get to project her abuse on anyone when she has billions she then uses to inflict abuse on actual minorities. She is the Malfoys at this point.

Nevermind how pro-slavery her book has been from day 1.

(Anonymous) 2024-01-06 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Upper middle class white dudes playing dress-up and white male sexual predators suddenly declaring that they're trans when it's time to go to prison aren't "actual minorities."

do you like...want to convince her to go to a professional or whatever and think it's rude to say or is the secret that you're very invested in jkr's psychology?

(Anonymous) 2024-01-06 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
ok

(Anonymous) 2024-01-06 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, I guess.

It's weird to me, this bunch of mostly English middle-aged anti-trans women. I feel like I have more important things to worry about as a feminist (middle-aged American woman, me) than some perceived whatever from trans people (whom I have zero issue with whatsoever). Like, there are girls and women being trafficked and you're hyperfocused on some imaginary aggression from trans women or whatever? IDGI.

(Anonymous) 2024-01-06 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Fellow middle-aged woman, and this. All of this. There's actual legitimate threats to our world out there, people need to quit obsessing over culture war bullshit like this. Transgender people aren't a threat to anyone, leave them the fuck alone, good god.

(Anonymous) 2024-01-06 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm English and I honestly wonder and wtf is in the water over here for there to be so many loud transphobes about acting like trans-women's existence is somehow a threat to ours? Like they're just trying to exist, leave them be.

... is this a fandom secret? It looks to me like an infodump on why JKR is transphobic. You don't even seem to be expressing an opinion about any of it.

OP

(Anonymous) - 2024-01-06 02:58 (UTC) - Expand

A few questions.

(Anonymous) 2024-01-06 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Are you seriously defending her?

You know that she's actually part of the 'rich and entitled' now, right?

She has had bad things happen to her, yes, but how does that make it okay for her to use her power and privilege to dismiss, mock, and revile people making choices about their own selves, people that don't have that power and privilege?

Even if she does think all that bullshit about the trans movement, are people not supposed to correct her? Are they just supposed to accept that it's okay for her to think that way because of the ways her life was hard? Are people just supposed to give her a pass?

What are you looking for here?

fantasy was NOT remotely a boys' club when jkr came on the scene?? Especially when you take youth fantasy into account.

Diane Duane and Jill Murphy come to mind most immediately, as having done VERY SPECIFICALLY books about young magic users at school, for a young audience.

Jane Yolen, Robin Hobb, Ursula K. LeGuin, Diana Wynne Jones? Anne McCaffrey, Octavia Butler??
