this thread is for fags

[Anonymous No.16391675]

Want me to tell you how I know you're a young clueless zoomer?
Harry Potter came out in the 90's. The cultural landscape was absolutely 100% nothing to do with what it is now. 9/11 hadn't even happened yet when the first book was out, and it was a literary phenomenon that I don't think has been reproduced again, and probably won't.
There wasn't a book that got kids and teens as hard as Harry Potter did in the 90's/early 2000's.
So what you're looking at is more like

>write one of the most successful book franchises of all time
>become of the most successful writers of all time
>People of literally any continent and political background until about 2010 or so was into Harry Potter, in general.
>Book series is over and now she and others have to find a way to keep making money. Movies, Parks, Sites, Spin offs, but she starts losing relevance.
>2016 polarizes the world in a way no one has ever seen before.
>People who read her in the 90's are probably 20~40 year olds now, of all walks of life and ideologies.
>She has literally nothing to lose because she's rich and whatnot, and finds an easy way to stay relevant.
>Some niche particular sector of the English speaking world, very outspoken about political issues, says bad things about her on twitter.
>Literally no one else gives a fuck or knows about any of this happening.
>Some anglo-centric clueless zoomer with no concept of the bigger picture of life makes this thread.

You really think someone in some random Colombia/Bulgaria/whatever country, who read harry potter in the 90's, even knows what the word TERF is?

this seems to be a common thing amongst liberal feminists, at least in the UK
its because of course most so called feminists are just women who want to politicise their discomfort in order to get the state (the contemporary 'big other') to validate them
transwomen, which they percieve as men because they are at their core narcissistic bigots, make them feel uncomfortable, especially in 'womens spaces'

Is Harry potter about overcoming structural prejudices though? Harry's basically an aristocrat.

[Anonymous No.16394020]

I do agree with her stance that transwomen are unable to understand the same struggles of CIS women (and to a lesser extent that the inclusion of transwomen, who had directly benefited from patriarchal mores, within the feminist movement in a way contradicts the movement, or at least co-opts the movement), but I think most of her opinions come from a place of latent misandry more than anything.

But I don't know. I've never had much interest in feminism or transgender stuff.

I mean yeah I get keeping your mouth shut and donating on down low but she never said or did anything wrong in that direction. her stance on immigration is what is wrong, because she expects us to pay for it. she writes a book with a killer that dresses as a woman and suddenly mental retards want to burn her and the publishing house, all they do is prove her right.do they care that it was based on a true story or that JK herself was a victim of men, no all they do is scream about their on feelings.

>perfectly happy with liberal ideologies
This is such a faggoty way of thinking. There's more than two camps that every possible opinion in the world can fit in. She's an old bitch, she was a feminist at a time when trans shit wasn't a big part of feminist discourse (when it was, it was usually "trans women are just men trying to invade our spaces"). Progressive ideology has moved on from her in a way that doesn't entirely make sense to her. She has some critical shit to say (for the record I think her points are real dumb) and the histrionic trannys pretend like Rowling is trying to murder them. Nah, you guys are just our culture's current weirdos, and she still thinks shit is fucked for women and we shouldn't be moving on from them yet as a civil rights frontier.

>>16391362

Perfect example of a two-sides faggot. Yes, conservative people still consume media, let alone one of the most popular pieces of media on the planet.

>I do agree with her stance that transwomen are unable to understand the same struggles of CIS women
Yeah, I have a hard time disagreeing with Rowling, on this at least. By being super gung-go with the "trans women are women" rhetoric, all you're doing is watering what the category of "woman" even means, in a way that only dilutes the issues that both groups face. Even if cis women and trans were treated the exact same by society at large, there are still very basic physical differences between them that ensure that they're not really the same "thing," and they will have different experiences.

kinda my point, it's already a complicated enough category that you need to narrow it down to something like "inner city black american women" to have any kind of meaningful conversations. If you group up trans women and cis women, it makes it harder to advocate for the needs of each group, since they have different problems and need different things.
