I admire her for standing up to the trans bullies, while still deploring her pro-migrant crap.
The trans movement is getting over powerful, so it does take guts to stand up to them
Agreed
TERFs are not my allies, but I will make fun of tranny tards with them any day.
Yes, she's not a 100% loss, just 95%.
When a leftist gets cannibalized by their own in a purity spiral, the only words their victim deserves is a dismissive "I warned you, but you did not listen"
I'm not a middle fiction fan, anyway, and I find it more than a little odd that this category is becoming irrelevant because so many grown ups are now obsessed with things that used to be meant for 11 yr-olds. The first Harry Potter book, for example, was read to us in like the 3rd grade.
That said, if I was a fan of Rowling's writing and fictional worlds, it would hardly matter. It's something like the genetic fallacy happening here. I couldn't enjoy a thing if I knew it was the product of a mind like hers. I suppose it's similar to a Leftist making an argument that they can't appreciate the rhetoric or the artwork or the intelligence of someone like Hitler because of what he did. I'm not saying they're right - I'm just highlighting the psychology.
I suppose the difference is that I could acknowledge that Rowling might be a decent writer in that genre, but that I just refuse to read her. I wouldn't deny credit where it's due. I suppose as far as that kind of shit is concerned, Harry Potter is probably as good as anything.
But why not read something a little more mature? There's good high fantasy out there.
Harry Potter's an interesting case because the books become more mature as the protagonist grows up. And I try to separate the book from the writer. Judge it on it's own merits.
There's no such thing as a good SJW. All JK is is a gateway into those even worse than her.
Have you read harry potter? You may as well just take the entire WW2 story line and add some magic and sheeeittt, it was that predictable down to the hidden tattoos and short codes in the end. She has always been a shit writer
I disagree
i dont know, maybe the first book was alright, but the last books felt like some rush job for the publisher. There were lose ends everywhere, our border is more secure than the humongous plotholes in the last few books
I'm planning on rereading the series here soon. I'll let you know.
No she is not OK. She's only against trans people because they take away from their fiminist/female privilege and she's mad about it.
She is a witch who introduced millions of children to witchcraft. Not exactly a role model.
