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

[assigned Karen at birth]

She will never not be what she is, ephemeral legal rights aside.

An actual woman, which no troon will ever be. Their real fantasy is that Warner Brothers Sisters orchestrate some kind of hostile takeover of her vagina to be distributed fairly among the wrongly bepenised, but they'd settle for her billion dollar IP.

(why do we have 20 "let's laugh at trannies" threads anyway?)

Here's the thing: Trannies are hilarious, and they do so many retarded things.

It’s not a total rip off.

I recall pointing out its existence when people were claiming that Rowling was a creative genius who came up with HP out of nowhere.

I would argue that it must have had some influence on her. Even if she had only seen the Tim Curry TV movie.

She was also heavily influenced by The Famous Five. There's a lot of Blyton in the first couple of HP books.

There's also the same whiff of hypocritical snobbery amongst the current crop of Rowling's critics, who sound identical to the intellectuals that managed to exclude Blyton's work from schools, libraries, and even adaptation by the BBC for about 20 years, merely because she didn't cater to their peculiar sensibilities.

Fucking hell, really?

I always assumed Blyton was happily regarded as perfectly fine children’s literature alongside Narnia, Jennings and Just William by those kinds of intellectuals.

Were they jealous because growing up they never had any ginger beer, aunties in the country and EVIL foreigners up to dastardly things for them to foil?

 

[cold comfort]

I'd like to read that actually, idk if its done or was for a larger peice of work or whatever.

It's something she's been interested in for a while. She talked about it in The Economist in 2016, on her own site in 2022, and in a March 2024 podcast that I believe was recorded a few days before the train incident.

She was weirdly controversial for almost her entire career and afterwards, for ever-changing reasons. In the 40s and 50s, she was considered a "second rate" author whose work had no literary merit and wasn't worthy of inclusion in the halls of the worthy. In the 60s and 70s she transformed into a hateful, bigoted racist who had somehow convinced generations of kids to become racist pseudo-nazis. In the 80s and 90s she was cast into the same pit of snobbery and elitism as the people who had rejected her work in the 40s and 50s, and somewhere around the start of the 20s (jesus christ) there began a concerted effort to have her works bowdlerised to fit 21st century sensibilities, alongside other mid 20th century children's' authors.

Troons are probably salivating at the thought of that last part. They want revenge on Rowling by editing her works to take out all the "bigotry", but they don't want to wait until she's dead to do it. They want to see her in pain by their actions. Psychopaths, all.

Not necessarily. There are plenty of jumping-off points from which you could write a British boarding-school story with magic. I honestly don't know why so many people developed such a monomaniacal fixation on this one series. I enjoyed it just fine, but when it ended, I didn't feel the need to wallow in the world forever, and I don't think I saw any of the films past the first one.

No wonder 50s people were infuriated by her so.

It was formative and coincided with a big cultural shift. At the time Potter became big, there was a whole media blitz about how Rowling was "getting kids reading", at a time when young teens appeared increasingly disinterested in reading anything at all. They latched onto her work at about the same time as the whole "go on the internet, find a toaster fucker community community, become a toaster fucker" thing was really kicking off, so they ended up wallowing in a collective of childish behaviours long past the point when they would normally have transitioned into a more adult mindset and formed their entire identity around Potter, rather than across a broad spectrum of interests. They mentally stunted themselves.

I think there was an assumption among parents, teachers and librarians that reading Harry Potter would be a gateway drug for reading books in general. Instead, it was a gateway drug for watching Harry Potter movies, consuming Harry Potter merch, visiting Harry Potter theme parks, and wanking to Harry Potter fanfic.

Rowling posts about the death of Françoise Hardy.

I checked French media to see if Françoise Hardy actually said anything at some point about the LGBTBBQ/queer community, as opposed to having a gay male fanbase or having a gay father who frequented young male prostitutes (and eventually ended up getting killed by one at the age of 80).

As far as I could find, she never said a word about the ever-expanding "LBTQI+"/queer community or troons (not even "transsexuals") – which is not surprising because as a French woman born in the 1940s, she probably wasn't even familiar with the 21st century concepts of queer or the ever-growing acronym LGBTQ-whatever.

This woke bloke's reply demonstrates the very problem with grouping mildly to extremely vaguely related groups together under an even more vague label: the history of her gay fanbase and of her support for it is not the history of people like Luna, the trans lesbian who trooned out after consuming too much sissy pornography, or Kayden, the he/they aromatic asexual with a boyfriend (who would all be considered "LGBTQ+" or "queer").

Plus, even in the extremely unlikely case that Françoise Hardy would've been an "LBTQI+" supporter, so what? It's possible to appreciate an artist or at least their works for other qualities than specifically their opinion on one specific topic. Just because TRAs wish they could piss on every transphobe's grave, that doesn't mean everyone on the opposite side automatically wants to do the same to anyone who declares an opinion they disagree with

Keffals would show up to aristocratic dinners with visible coke around his nostrils, chug the champagne and demand grey goose vodka.
Fong jones would be caught in the stables consent accidenting the horses.

I suppose this makes Dylan fucking Mulvaney the best spokestroon they have since he was at least able to get an audience with the Corpse-in-Chief. Hitler would never have drunk swill like Budweiser but he knew how to appeal to the working class so he probably would have done a better job shilling their product.

TL;DR Man wants to set up a play called TERF CUNT (now changed to TERF) about Rowling but then has trouble finding actresses willing to partake in the project.

Scores of actresses turn down roles in play critical of JK Rowling’s gender views​

Stage production set to debut at the Edinburgh Fringe has already caused outrage over its explicit working title

A play that criticises JK Rowling’s views on gender is struggling to cast women with 90 actresses so far rejecting parts.

The stage production, which is set to debut at the Edinburgh Fringe, has already caused outrage over a working title which labelled the gender-critical Harry Potter author a c----.

The production is yet to cast any of the female roles, including that of Rowling herself.

The part of Harry Potter film star Emma Watson has also been repeatedly turned down, and around 90 actresses have refused to take part in the project amid concerns over its critique of Rowling.

The author has become a figure of hate online among some activists, and received death threats after publicly sharing concerns about the encroachment of transgender campaigning on women’s rights.

Actors have been found for male leads, who will portray Harry Potter cast members Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe.

Creative producer Barry Church-Woods told the Telegraph: “This project has met some kind of resistance every step of the way, though I’ve been generally surprised by how difficult it has been for us to recruit the female cast in particular.

“It’s a well-paid gig meeting industry standards and the script is terrific.”

He added: “I think it’s fair to say that a few things are coming into play in casting.”

The play, which was written by queer-identifying Hollywood scriptwriter Joshua Kaplan, tells the story of a fictional intervention staged for Rowling by the stars of the Harry Potter franchise, Watson, Grint and Radcliffe.

The three actors publicly denounced Rowling in 2020 when she first raised concerns about the spread of gender ideology, the belief that gender is unfixed and changes according to how people self-identify.

The work was initially titled TERF C***, with TERF standing for trans-exclusionary radical feminist, a term which has been deployed pejoratively against women who have opposed trans ideology.

It is understood that 30 actresses have turned down the role of Rowling in the play, and 60 have refused the part of Watson, while agencies representing aspiring female stars have been nervous to put their clients forward for the project.

There is some suggestion that the actress may have ideological misgivings about the play, or be concerned about a potential backlash.
It has been suggested by producers that some actresses may not want to appear in a play critiquing Rowling and ruin their chances of appearing in the lucrative new Harry Potter TV series on the Max streaming service.

Rowling is acting as executive producer for the series, and will be involved in key decision-making.

Mr Church-Woods said: “We’ve had agents reluctant to put names forward, I suspect, because they do not want to damage their clients chances of landing roles on the new Potter TV series.”

Writer Mr Kaplan has insisted that his play does not carry a set message, and is more about “relationships and how Rowling’s opinions evolved” rather than a work “interrogating the substance of her opinions”.

TERF plays the Sir Ian McKellen Theatre from August 2 to 25.

He could always reach out to some unemployed trans actresses and have them fill all the female roles. Has he reached out to Philosophytube yet?

Also, there will be some parts of the play where Rowling gets Totally Owned that will be filmed, either by the production or the audience, then put online and gif-ed so that you can Totally Own the actual Joanne next time she's on twitter. Maybe these actresses are just capable of hearing about a play called Terf Cunt and immediately realising exactly what kind of play it's going to be?

TL;DR Man wants to set up a play called TERF CUNT (now changed to TERF) about Rowling but then has trouble finding actresses willing to partake in the project.

It’s pretty damn indicative of a turning tide I think.

Secondly, these actresses likely have many reasons to not want to be involved in this.

I know the nonces behind it are making out it’s critical of Rowling’s opinions, but it’s giving me an impression that it could come across hugely misogynistic.

Also I wouldn’t be surprised if Rowling found a way to fuck with the career of which actress plays her.
Even outside of the “potter verse” she is still a powerful person as she certainly has Hollywood and luvvie contacts, friends or other people who are behind the scenes.

I think the woman who takes this on would be very brave or quite stupid.

 

[drab assessment]

Wouldn't it make more thematic sense to fill all the female roles in the play with transwomen, or would that make the contrast between them and actual women come into starker relief?

I think that they want bio women so that it seems like Rowling is an outlier and unusual in her beliefs.

Also if some troon played Rowling, and it won’t be a flattering depiction for sure, I am certain she would fuck with that Troons career.

She might only mess with some real woman’s career to make a point then leave her alone if the woman apologizes, but a man in a dress actively mocking her?

That man in a dress will soon only find himself able to work as a male toilet attendant or jizz mopper in a low rent strip club or peep show.

So they think these women actually agree with the trannies and would otherwise totally love to take part in a play that calls another woman a "cunt" for expressing her opinions, but they all think they might have a shot to work with her instead? That sounds like insane logic to me. If you think Rowling is Hitler, you would also not want to appear in her show. I would rather assume they know this is a stupid play and not worth their time, even if they do not agree with Rowling and do not care about being in a HP show.

And to be honest, this whole thing (despite having a "terrific script") sounds as if it would only appeal to TRAs. Who really would want to pay to see this kind of shit?

In the 60s and 70s she transformed into a hateful, bigoted racist who had somehow convinced generations of kids to become racist pseudo-nazis. In the 80s and 90s she was cast into the same pit of snobbery and elitism as the people who had rejected her work in the 40s and 50s, and somewhere around the start of the 20s (jesus christ) there began a concerted effort to have her works bowdlerised to fit 21st century sensibilities, alongside other mid 20th century children's' authors.

Interesting, I grew up reading so many Enid Blyton books, she was extremely popular in Germany and a lot of her series even had ghostwritten continuations. As a child I didn't notice anything problematic about those books, but maybe those parts were already changed in the translations, haha.

It’s not just about being in the Harry Potter show whether that is realistic for them or not.

As a continuation of my point earlier, perhaps it’s a widespread concern about making an enemy of Rowling.

I am not saying she is or could be like a Female Weinstein.
From the actresses perspective though, acting is a hard gig to become successful in.
It’s one thing doing some controversial or risky films and plays, but quite another to risk pissing off a billionaire with direct connections and interests in the film industry.

Especially as the public sympathy for Troons is starting to wear thin.

 

[Prince Vegeta]

Why would she make life difficult for another woman, that doesn't sound like her at all.
