This is a really weird thing to say! Yes, everyone is on the internet now, but not everybody is interested in celebrity gossip or is in fandom. If you are, then yes, you will very likely have heard about JKR's transphobic posting and activism. If you're not particularly interested, though, why would you ever hear about this?

Not everyone who likes Harry Potter is what I would call "fannish" (because Harry Potter is pop culture at this point), and not everyone who is fannish does fandom by using big social media websites. So yeah, you and I are on Fandom Secrets -- we are VERY tapped into this fannish community and it is impossible for us to not know about JKR's transphobia. But that is a very narrow view of what a "Harry Potter fan" looks like, based entirely what Harry Potter fans in OUR online spaces look like.

For everyone else, it is very possible to casually like Harry Potter or have some Harry Potter merch you use and have NO idea what's going on with JKR's Twitter feed, even when you use the internet every single day! Even if you're on Twitter every day! JKR even makes it into the news for her transphobic opinions, sometimes, but the news media massively downplays the extent of her transphobia and just how obsessive she is about this issue. It's just really easy to be a Harry Potter fan and not know how bad she is about these issues, even if you're decently tapped into the wider world. It's going to become less that way over time as news spreads, but some people just really don't care what the author of a popular children's book series is saying on Twitter.
