My own personal conspiracy theory is that the reason these Breadtube-adjacent video essayist types like to make their videos about four hours long is because it's a weird kind of defence mechanism - they assume (largely correctly) that people who disagree with them will not be prepared to waste their time sitting through such a long video, which enables them to put any ridiculous, ill-informed bullshit they want in their videos, knowing that their audience is probably just going to let it wash over them anyway.
It also makes them a massive pain in the arse to trim down to make fun of.
These people remind me so much of old school church ladies informing you mezzo-vocce about who in the village has committed minor transgressions and would you believe it?

While I can appreciate Rowling's views on troons, she's still your typical white shitlib that championed the "Refugees Welcome" retardation in 2015. Over the years you can clearly see how that turned out for Europe.
For those wondering if India's saner over on Bluesky here's a post from one of other community threads showing him in the company of people saying those who disagree with him should be executed (which no doubt includes JK). India of course is one of the three people who liked that message.
Tragically the call for violence is limited to people who are signed in but a kind Farmer got a screenshot over here. I've merely archived India's appreciation of calls for murder.

I agree. She absolutely does have some shitlib beliefs (or did at one point) but was willing to stick her heels in despite getting massive backlash and demonization on response. If she'd wanted to she absolutely could have just knelt down, kissed the ring, and slid into playing along with troonery to save her reputation after the original backlash, but she has genuine beliefs that aren't just "whatever the other libs say I should believe" and she stuck by them. That alone is worthy of respect regardless of whatever other views she may have that one might disagree with.
The “Trans women are women” statement is a fundamental test of a person’s character. If you say they are, then you are at best in denial, at worst complicit, in the child destroying, woman hating incel bullshit that goes with it.
All the day to day sperging about gays/blacks/jews/whatever is secondary

There is another youtuber whining about Rowling named Caroline Easom and boy her voice and how she speaks is worse than nails on a chalkboard. Just listening to this hideous harpy makes me want to punch her, it sounds really that bad.
So glad someone else noticed how bonkers she is. I think more people would recognize Caroline Easom’s face and video thumbnails as opposed to her name. Voilà:
Archive of video available here. Archive here. Archive not available because this thing was too long and kept crashing Preservetube. Source here.
The names of these videos are very long, so I’m going to list them here, in chronological order:

I included an unrelated video for context, and to demonstrate that this really is one of the only things she’s focusing on. There were no videos in between that I skipped over to focus on the RDS ones.
A couple of things to note here. First, she got Rowling stuck in her craw back in August and she remained stuck on the issue for a month. She has not produced any long-form content since. These Harry Potter videos are atypically long for her.
Second, the first and second Harry Potter videos were published five days apart. Third, she describes herself as a former Potterhead. This solidifies my beliefs that ex-fans are the most belligerent haters.
Fourth, she describes herself on her channel - which I archived here - as a Leo. Leos are born between July 23 and August 22, which is exactly when the first three videos were released. So, for some reason, she got fixated on Rowling around her birthday.
The fifth thing I will say is that she attempts to psychoanalyze Rowling through her work. This is as logical as trying to discern whether or not Jerry Siegel was schizophrenic because he drew Superman with super-powered eyesight. And, of course, it’s deliberately removing context from the story (such as visual metaphors and / or the function of comedy).
The sixth and final thing I will say about her specifically is that each subsequent video grows longer each and every time. Does this mean her next released will be more than 5 hours? Anyone want to make a bet?
She is part of a larger trend of YouTubers who hate Rowling and direct their rage at Harry Potter. Why substantiate your claims or address the woman’s politics directly when you can scream about a children’s book series for ten hours? Why explain why you believe males can be women when you can quote literal 4chan /lit/ board memes, and then LARP as a feminist? Dunking on popular media is one of the easiest way to get clicks. It was the business model of companies like Cracked.
Harry Potter is nothing more than a proxy for Rowling’s gender critical beliefs. That’s why they go after it so vociferously… even though dunking on Potterheads stopped being funny after Snape killed Dumbledore. They guffaw and slap each other on the back because apparently her overuse of certain words renders all her opinions wrong by default. Note: I wanted to link to an archive of this ten hour video on Harry Potter by this tranny, Gutian, AKA “Lily Simpson”, because of course he picked Lily and the same last name as Yaniv. Something about commonwealth countries, man. Unfortunately, like Easom’s most recent video, Mr. “Lily” and his work are too retarded for machines to parse.
TLDR: It’s an ad hominem. Pointing out that Rowling isn’t Anne Sexton means they don’t have to define the word “woman”.
I think they do that because they want to compensate for hooded eyes, a fat face, or a large brow ridge. Like, “if I make my eyes look huge I’ll look less ogreish”.

Rowling’s birthday is July 31st, so maybe they have the same birthday.
I think the real reason she got obsessed with her about this time is probably the Imane Khelif thing though. A lot of people really did believe that Rowling had gone too far, even in this thread some were saying that she’d jumped the gun. Of course, Queen TERF won again, but the cultists will never admit that they were wrong and JKR was right.

I wonder if she got given a load of Harry Potter merch for her birthday, then felt guilty about it and thought she had better go online and say her fifty 'Hail Mary's, to check her cis privilege.
Finally, some good news. But to be fair I'd rather they not join the now 41% * 172% but instead get the mental help they need.
Of course they don't emerge "from nowhere"... grooming and/or assault isn't nowhere.
Grift harder, Anthony
At least he put in the original JK tweet. I can only speak for myself, but one of the first steps of my peak-ening was seeing the sperging about XYZ evil person only to find that their actual statement was pretty reasonable. Good job, Tony, may you sperg publicly evermore.
"JK Rowling thinks trans kids don't exist!" is very different than "no child is born in the wrong body".
