Diseased Rowling Derangement Syndrome - "TERF/Woke Author Bad!!1"

[CreamyHerman’s]

There's a YouTuber who goes by the name of President Sunday who has been making videos 'proving' that a game made for manchildren is going to be bad, only to look like he's obsessing over Rowling:

I think one of the more ironic things to come from the online dislike of JK Rowling is that fact that most women who dislike her do not have to wish physical harm towards her. When they said #BelieveAllWomen, I did not think it would be trannies having to do the job that those women try to do when they’re behind a computer/smartphone screen.

If you go on LonerBox, Shaun or Jessie Gender's video of her (or even Lindsay Ellis) you'll find scores of handmaidens calling her a traitor. Even her being around normal women like Maya Forstater enraged them.

It's strange to see all these self-styled feminists just falling in line and agreeing with whatever the menfolk tell them, isn't it?

One complaint I dont understand is the complaint about the names in HP being racist or whatever. Its a kid's book so there are going to be easy to remember names that rhyme or are alliterative. Its an easy and charming way for children to remember certain characters. I don't see how Cho Chang or Parvati Patel are racist considering there are people named that.

Fantasy world aside, "Cho" is a given name and surname in East Asia. Wikipedia has a whole page listing people with the name or surname "Cho".

I never realized Parvati Patel was considered "racist" though. Patel is the "Smith" of India and Parvati is a Hindu goddess that some Indian girls are named after.

In any case, I'm old enough to remember the shitstorm that happened when Rowling confirmed that the minor character, Blaise Zabini, (who again, wasn't really described physically in any real detail) was actually black and not, as all the fangirls had hoped, a skinny emo white boy just like in their sweaty fanfiction.

The absolute torrent of racist REEEEEing following that particular revelation was actually the cause of quite a lot of drama in the Potter fan communities back in the day.

Did Rowling only confirm that he was black because the actor who played him was black? I still remember when she went through her phase of trying to retroactively diversify the characters despite diversity already being present in the books.

I heard some American fans complain that was a lack of "Asian" characters in the books, citing Cho Chang as the only notable "Asian" character. People also said that the Oriential in the Fantastic Beasts movie played into "stereotypes". The thing is, J.K is British and "Asian" in the U.K is synonymous with South Asian (aka Indians. Often called Brown people by other Anglophones) unlike the U.S where "Asian" means East Asian. So they already had two other notable Asian characters in addition to Cho Chang, Parvati and Padma Patel.

Maybe some background actors were South Asian because it's the U.K. But the people complaining are so smart and free of personal bias lol.

If anything, I always felt there was a real underrepresentation of the white working class in those movies. Where were all the chavs at Hogwarts? It was all upper middle class stage school kids! Sort it out, Rowling!

 

[JustStopDude]

The whole accusations of racism are because normies aren't responding in agreement to the whole "she is a hateful terf".

If this doesn't stick, they move into the next accusation. And then the next, hoping something sticks and harms her. Eventually they will reuse the whole "she is teaching children witchcraft and anti-Christian values" which coming from troons should be hilarious.

It's like poetry. It rhymes.

 

[Newman's Lovechild]

This is one of my favorite topics on the Farms right now. All the reeing breaking on JKRs shit eating terf grin, like anemic waves against a rock, is sweet as honey.

Pretty much your average day for JKR on reddit.

The middle one is a hoot. "Doing a good deed for once in her miserable life". As if her entire existence to this point was dunking on troons.

"We have to be nice and coddle people" Which day was the 'nice'?

"Or else we're just crazy people wanting to be mad about everything"
Where's the lie?

Um, excuse you, sweaty, but the name 'Kingsley' is clearly a thinly veiled reference reference to the racist 'WE WUZ KANGS' meme so beloved by fascist bigots online.

Kangs Lee, cousin of Spike.

Canonically, wizards don't even care about skin colour anyway, because to them the purity of your blood is more important, something Rowling explicitly frames as a bigoted, negative thing.

How do you have 'pure blood' for an ability that may have originated separately in different races?

Or maybe, oh wait, that's the point.

 

[The Skeksis Emperor]

Really wondering why they laserfocus onto this game, maybe because chronically online trannies are very much part of the target group.

They want to unperson her but they can't because she has fuck-you money and a real legacy. So now they want the game to fail hard, to show that they can still destroy anyone who speaks out against them. That's what I gather from the reeeing, anyway.

Yeah, it's a real reach. Someone should tell Jamaica that the name Kingsley is double plus ungood, I don't think they know yet.

FWIW when I was reading the books as a teen I always thought Snape was supposed to be the Jewish stereotype (because greasy-haired big-nose in a dark dungeon), not the goblins, who are just goblins. Oh well.

The fact this is a thing is proof that humanity inevitably has to find something in the absence of a religious figure to deify and hold to godly standards. It happens with celebrities, artists; everyone notable. More and more I understand why religion is considered the glue that holds humanity together. In some ways, it's what MADE us stop being cavemen barbarians and progress as a species, in spite of all the barbarism that would follow in the centuries after due to immensely strict adherence and zealotry.

Religion is why some people started acting like JK/HP was the devil in the first place.

I know, I'm just saying the zeitgeist around people like Rowling isn't a unique thing, and it's a constant within the past century or so.

 

[Android raptor]

I don't know the series too well but I know about the Cho Chang thing because people keep bringing up the fact that it's not a valid Chinese name. That sounds more like an honest mistake than racism.

It's no more racist than Yoshiyuki Tomino naming American characters shit like Marvel Frozen and Shot Weapon

I never realized Parvati Patel was considered "racist" though. Patel is the "Smith" of India and Parvati is a Hindu goddess that some Indian girls are named after.

There were 2 Indian kids in my school eons ago, completely unrelated families but they both had the surname Patel. Was friends with one of them and she was always salty that everyone thought the other Patel was her brother since she didn't even like him, because being the only 2 Indian families in town they spent a lot of time together and she was sick of him lol

Also (sorry multiquote not working) I pretty much remember Cho Chang being quiet and shy? Don't recall her being described as especially clever or studious. Almost like...this tweet is assuming she's super smart and hardworking because she's Asian? hmm

 

[Echo_Ender]

Without powerlevelling too much, I've had no less than 3 Troon acquaintances pull the "If you order this game, you're harming trans people and we can't be friends" ultimatum this last week.

...and it warms my heart to report that EVERYONE, even the most bleeding-heart lefties I know, responded with "I'm buying the game. Guess you can fuck off, then?"

A couple of them even laughed out loud when they brought up the 'Goblins are antisemitic!' shit, telling them straight-up that they're really, really reaching and it's pathetic.

This lunacy the troons have created is backfiring on them harder than any "EVIL CIS/TERF SCHEME" could.

And when their campaign inevitably fails, there will be even more reeeing about how the awful cis community doesn't care about genderspecials and how they keep buying HP merchandise even though JKR is LITERALLY KILLING TRANS PEOPLE WITH HER HATEFUL TERF BIGOTRY.

To which there is only one proper response:

Not sure about religion, but I see it more as humans needing something to believe in, especially something which can justify their morals, as well as justifying the values of the society they live in. Religion works well at fulfilling those needs.
In the absence of religion, they're gonna look for something else to believe in, whether that be a person, an ideology or a fucking storybook.

Honestly, the whole race thing just reminds me of how the devs of Hogwarts Legacy, whether they realize it, or not, actually found an ingenious way to excuse why there's so many minorities at Hogwarts in Victorian times.

It's the height of the British empire with colonies ruled by it all over the world, and you automatically gain British citizenship just by being born in one of them. Being magic, and having British citizenship is all you need to qualify to go to Hogwarts. Skin color, or ethnicity doesn't factor in at all.

The devs literally stumbled upon a way to be both accurate to the books, and history while also having more than a good reason to be diverse af. That's incredible, and yet none of it matters because it's overshadowed by retards chimping out JK Rowling for saying men, and women have biological differences.

If JKR is literally killing trans people, why are there still trans people? My theory: troons are actually opossums with MRSA.
