Now, I didn’t say I disagreed with her.What has she said exactly that is hurtful?
i have an issue with WHY she’s does what she does, and the type of person she seems to be, the type of “role model“ she’s trying to be.
Doesn’t mean I don’t agree with her argument, or that I agree with it.
I havent given my opinion on that, it’s not an argument I’m entering into,
my opinion here is just on her.
And what she’s doing online.
ThisPersonally I think JK knew what she was doing with Harry Potter- she franchised the tit out of it and a bi-product of that was the huge communities of HP fans that created loads of inclusive safe spaces. Jk capitalised from these people by throwing out tidbits to fit the narrative of the fans. Dumbledore was gay etc. If JK fully intended on a fully inclusive and representative book she would have included this in the book she wrote- not the twitter side show. The facts remain that in her books there are no openly gay characters, there are few characters who aren’t white and the ones that are from other countries or cultures are heavily stereotyped, no characters with disabilities, no one who is gender fluid- the list goes on. Jk isn’t the hero - she just fed fans what they wanted.
I really feel for her fans who are struggling with their gender identity right now- having someone they look up to invalidate them must be awful
