Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.
This isn't even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x
Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x
We can presume she's given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.
Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x
It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.
And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.
This is where that Harry Potter money goes.
it’s just this recent wave of “all sexual expression is good even the problematic ones!” is crazy to me like we used to be mad about the song Blurred Lines and call it blatant expression of misogyny and rape apologia, even though it’s art. like i think it’s fine to call shallow misogynist art shallow and misogynist and i think it’s fine to deplatform it
this used to be the SJW site whatever happened to “be intolerant of intolerance” and “3 people having dinner with a nazi is 4 nazis” and “both-sides-ing only aids the oppressor” now everyone is saying shit like Actually 🤓☝️Blurred Lines is a Progressive and Leftist Anthem because it Queers the Status Quo Narrative of Consensual Sex
I’m not gonna respond to anyone arguing with my point here, that people have adopted the same sexual politics as manosphere libertarians and incels but with a progressive leftist veneer. This was about the “rape and torture your mother” game, and tumblr users saying it’s actually fascist and alarming that Steam deplatformed it. Steam, a private company chose to remove the game from its storefront when people reported it for hate content. The game still exists. You can still go promo it and support it and throw money at the devs and if you think it’s so valuable.
In 2017, UC Berkeley students protested for the removal of a certain scheduled talk on-campus. The alt-right and neonazis, predictably, called the protests an attack on Freedom of Speech and Expression. Milo Yiannopoulos’s talk at Berkeley was cancelled, but notably, he still has a career because the alt-right and neonazis find his commentary valuable, and they throw money at him. Now, I will leave it as a thinking exercise for the reader as to why I would mention this incident
