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.

like the return of the r slur and horrible fatphobia and gay jokes and the misogyny oh my fucking god can we talk about the misogyny. we have culturally regressed to the eary 2010s but when you try to call people out they’re liek ohhh it’s just a joke 😂. i’m sorry but i don’t want to hear jokes about pedophilia or about rape or about racism that is not funny and it never will be. everything is ironic and if you get offended it’s cuz you’re a crazy femnazi who cares too much. because it’s apparently uncool to take anything serious or do anything with actual sincerity anymore

some of sophie devereaux’s most iconic & hilarious lines, in my humble opinion:
- "what kind of world would it be if everyone who committed a silly little crime went to prison? complete madness!"
- "EX art thief! EX!"
- "is this about fear of the russian mob, or fear of intimacy?"
- sophie: "i don't have a lot of rules in this world. three, actually - don't count the money till after the con, know when to walk away from the con, and-" nate: ""the gambler"? you're basing your life philosophy on a kenny rogers song?"
- [after everyone’s been making fun of her accent in the rashomon job] "i hate you all."
- sophie: "nate, i have to say, of all the deceitful, unprincipled, corrupt things i've done in my entire life - nothing is as bad as..." nate: "politics?" sophie: "i can’t even say it."
- "i start telling the truth all day, i stop being sophie devereaux."
- nate: "you’re not supposed to root for the criminals [in movies]." sophie: "always root for the home team."
- "darling, nobody knows all of [my aliases]. not even me."
- [about gifts for the team] "oh, i wouldnt say ‘bought’, exactly… we, ah, obtained."
- "i am a grifter. if i’m doing my job right, then the mark just… [clicks tongue and mimes turning a dial] …turns off the alarm for me."
- sophie: "pack your bags everyone, we’re going to make news!" [walks away dramatically] nate: "yeah, she’s walking into the closet."
- [having been shot] "you wanker!"

like I'm sorry but I will keep posting about this until people stop being cunts and shitheads so I think we'll be here a good while. every time I talk about the colonial framing of australia and how colonialism is at work in modern day understandings of this country I only need to count to ten before every european and usamerican in sight starts spouting complete bullshit. why don't you all take a deep breath and examine why the fuck you're so wedded to the idea of australia you have in your head
"suggesting that Australia has uniquely hostile flora and fauna isn't wrong" FACT CHECK:
- what do you mean by "uniquely hostile"? is it based on amount of harm to humans? because I can tell you now. horses killed more people in 2023 than spiders did. how would you feel if I said that europe introduced the uniquely hostile horse to the australian environment?
- look at these stats: https://www.firstaidpro.com.au/blog/leading-causes-of-death-in-australia/#elementor-toc__heading-anchor-1
- now look at this: https://www.vice.com/en/article/cows-and-horses-are-australias-number-one-killers/
- can you please give me a list of examples of flora and fauna that you would place in this category?
"aboriginal tribes" FUCK OFF!
- if you can capitalise Australia you know how to capitalise Aboriginal
- "tribes" is not the right word here even remotely. try again next time. "Aboriginal people" would be a great start. being able to name even one country or language group would shock me to death. give it a go though
"marsupials reign supreme" don't make me laugh
- CHECK: why are you using language that inherently ascribes a particular morality to animals? what motivates you to frame Australia as uniquely 'ruled by animals'? what else might this imply and where might this framing have come from?
"most venomous and hostile" why are you putting those adjectives together?
- Australia's most venomous snake (the inland taipan) has not killed a single person in recorded history because of how rare it is for that snake to come anywhere near humans. again, refer to the stats above
- "hostility" is another example of ascribing negative moral values to an animal where it is not at all appropriate
"one of the less hospitable places on earth" colonialism check!
- hospitable to whom?
- you mean that pre-colonial Australia didn't follow western ideals of housing and agriculture don't you? (<- there very much was agricultural practices in First Nations groups for the record)
- you're implying that the land had to be tamed by colonisers, aren't you?
- come on. be so for real right now
I get the idea of colonialist implications of some word choices mentioned there, but I wonder if the animal reign comments are poetic license being taken literally
it absolutely wasn’t meant literally, but one still has to consider the word choice implications here, especially when they echo very old colonial sentiments. the imagery of a land ruled by animals is imagery but those images are so commonly appealed to because it maps onto preexisting ideas about Australia being an inherently wild and untameable landscape. metaphors are also choices that matter, regardless of their non-literal intentions
