She's a SJW and a feminist, but she has drawn a line in the sand when it comes to transsexuals. I used to think she was a sell out, but If she was, she'd advocate for transsexuals too. She has received a ton of backlash for not supporting trans people, but she won't change her stance. I can respect her for that.

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.
