@jeffowski Only one word can describe #JKRowling accurately: cunt.
She is such a hypocrite. She created books with basically only white characters. When a black actress was selected to play Hermione at the theatre in London, JKR came to defend the director, she had no prejudice etc.. so why the fuck didn't she write black, Asian whatever characters in the first place?
If 98% of the characters are white, heterosexual etc, it says a lot about the author.

"Nostalgic fury" -- Judith Butler (and the response to #JKRowling is gold): "I see a kind of restoration fantasy at play in many right-wing movements in the U.S. People want to go back to the idea of being a white country or the idea of the patriarchal family, the principle that marriages are for heterosexuals. I call it a nostalgic fury for an impossible past."

"accusations of #CancelCulture" are typically aimed at younger or lower-status people, specifically so higher-status folks don't have "to reflect on their own practices."

It's "cancel culture" when #ElonMusk or #JKRowling is criticized for #transphobic rhetoric, but not when billionaires or #Republican politicians focus public anger on ordinary people who don't conform to gender norms."

Text: ...moral panics are typically about preserving social hierarchies: If a Starbucks barista gets fired for expressing a left-wing opinion, no one calls it "cancel culture," but if a right-wing pundit is heckled by undergraduates during a campus speech, our constitutional freedoms are under threat. In an earlier interview with Salon, Daub argued that accusations of "cancel culture" are typically aimed at younger or lower-status people, specifically so higher-status folks don't have "to reflect on their own practices." It's "cancel culture" when Elon Musk or JK Rowling is criticized for transphobic rhetoric, but not when billionaires or Republican politicians focus public anger on ordinary people who don't conform to gender norms. The outrage at no-contact adult children appears to follow the same model... Cohn, the parent influencer, says that her daughter "didn’t want for anything, materially," and mentions an occasion when she prevented her daughter from choking, seemingly as evidence that she has earned a continuing relationship. Similar logic is echoed throughout anti-estrangement articles, ...noting that "estranged children are likely to lose access to financial & emotional resources." No equivalence is drawn the parent side, even though... a parent who refuses to make peace w/an adult child runs the emotional risk of losing that relationship permanently. Once again, the implicit assumption is that the lower-status person has a duty to maintain or restore harmony.

Keanu Reeves is a nice guy, right? Sure. Dunno about whoever runs the Insta account brzrkr_comics (of his comic book BZRKR) though. They seem to be a JK Rowling supporter.

See the comment they made in regards to info that Rowling-heavy episode of Doctor Who which was thankfully never made:
"She dodged a bullet there...Tennent has become 🔔 end"

A screenshot of Instagram where, in response to information that JK Rowling was to have written an episode of Doctor Who years ago, the insta account BZRKR_comics commented "She dodged a bullet there...Tennent has become 🔔 end"
