Rowling Derangement Syndrome - "TERF/Woke Author Bad!!1"

[The Lawgiver]

Wizards use owls in Harry Potter because owls are historically depicted as otherworldly creatures/birds of ill-omen/in league with witches in European folklore, and you basically never see them in the daytime. I think it's implied in the books they're sort of magical, because they know where to deliver the letters based on whatever's written on the envelope.

I dunno, when I was a kid and these books were still coming out my logic was "oh yeah it's just carrier pidgeons but owls" because they literally just do what pidgeons trained to carry letters to people do.

You can especially see it when they act utterly betrayed and confused as soon as Rowling reacts negatively to their behavior. In their eyes, they're allowed to throw endless abuse and death threats in her direction, but she (as a mother figure) is obliged to respond with unconditional love as soon as they demand it

She courted these people back in 2015-16. They were already parasocial as fuck and then she just had to start tweeting about American politics and issues almost daily. Suddenly Trump was Voldemort, Dumbledore was gay, she claimed Hermione was never written as a white character(she was), the Wizarding World had no walls(it did) and on and on.

She actively courted these retards and then made the mistake of thinking shed be allowed her own opinions. Cant say i feel sorry for her. That said i absolutely love the way she makes troons and their enablers seethe. Hope she never stops

My headcanon is that @Magic Pickle is actually Joanne herself.

Beat me to it. I know it's a long shot, but they're both transphobic masters of the English language who make me laugh on the regular with their unique turns of phrase. @Magic Pickle might not be the queen herself, but (s)he's the closest thing we have.

Do not forget that these Goblins want you broke, dead, your kids Raped and Trooned, and they think it's funny.: JK Rowling.

Funny how things turn out. A great example of why you should never bandwagon on the current thing. The times are constantly changing. Do they even care about the whole goblin thing anymore?

 

[Bill's Due]

This "I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous" line really sums up the egotistical, ridiculous view she has on the entire situation. She clearly thinks these successful 30+ year old actors should just shut the fuck up and be grateful to her forever because she wrote the books that movies they were cast in as children were based on, as if she came down from the heavens and gifted them with millions of unearned dollars and now they're stabbing her in the back by saying they don't agree with her unhinged half-decade meltdown when asked about it. This is the response she gives when they try to say something nice about her, just another hystrionic, classless screed from this shriveled cunt's castle.

they won't even accept the basic premise that your family should matter more to you than a complete stranger you will never meet.

you think zoomers/gen alpha give a shit about their family? Western society has been demoralized to a point where you can easily get affirmation from other mentally ill people to completely reject what your family teaches you. A bunch of the troons that shot people up (rip CHarlie Kirk) all had severe issues with their parents.

That didn't happen in a vacuum, I think. The Internet has been a force multiplier for these fuckers.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

Are you saying the reason is becasue they are nocturnal

No. I am baffled how you reached this conclusion because I quoted your own post to you.

For example, in a world of magic, why are you using one of the slowest flying nocturnal birds to deliver messages? I know this is a meme, but this kind of inconsistency is indicative of her entire world. Things are written because they are fantastical and capture the imagination.

Where in your own writing is "it's because they are nocturnal" written?

The reason is blatant and covered by your own words, since apparently that's tricky I'll make it even clearer for you.

@AssignedEva covered it as well but your own writing tells you exactly why the author went with owls. Because they were a good aesthetic choice. She did not sit down and look up flight speeds of nocturnal avians native to the British Isles, not least because they she would have also had to examine how many of those birds could be trained to deliver parcels bigger than them to students at a magical school. For your clarity the answer is none of them

Both Harry and Ron’s characters were given a pretty raw deal in the movies. Harry existed as some wonder kid with little idea on how the wizarding world worked, while Ron was treated like an idiot that couldn’t control his emotions. Meanwhile, Hermione was made to be gifted at everything except Defense against the Dark Arts, and conveniently figured out most of the mysteries for Harry and Ron to act upon. Hermione was made into a Mary Sue type character before Mary Sue types really took off in the 2010s.

You bring up a good point that there could have just been a fair amount of executive meddling in the movies, especially for the budget they were given. IIRC, JKR had a lot of say on the casting decisions, but it could be possible that the way characters got portrayed was more in the realm of what the directors and producers wanted at the time. She was a best selling author by the time of the first movie, but she didn’t have nearly the amount of money she does today because of the royalties and merchandising.

To be fair, Harry is just more of a blank self-insert, as befits a children's book protagonist.
Daniel couldn't ~le shock the world by playing a whore like Emma so he played Nazis and faggots. It's not a trend that started with them either, for the past 40 years or so every actor who got famous off a wholesome role went to star in absolute dogshit immediately thereafter. I wonder if the entirely predictable and formulaic publicity here (oh look little Suzie from the Cozy House on the Meadow is getting raped by a donkey at prime time) is driving these choices or if the schizos are somewhat correct and Hollywood is run on humiliation rituals.

Tacking is a nautical term (a common origin for many turns of phrase) which refers to the ropes used for changing the direction of sails to catch wind. When she says, "change of tack," she means Emma has turned her sails back in Rowling's direction now that the wind has blown her way

Rowling's English blood yearns for the waves. Don't let them out or you'll get another Canada.

 

[chocolatebargalileo]

At least Emma Watson is in the public eye this time for her two-face nature instead of the most retarded shit possible like "I'm not single, I'm self-partnered".

 

[Ewan McGregor]

Hell, Jo, I don't really like you but you tore a new one on that bitch, well deservedly.

Coincidentally, and ironically, the less successful of them all, and a proto-Greta Thunberg.

Seeing her mention her anger over Dan and Emma, but not Rupert (Ron), is he good or just less tranny crazy than the former two?

The other two won't talk to him or about him, and they are not in good terms. Why do you think this is? hmm?

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

Daniel Radcliffe is a 5'5" manlet

Tbf, I understand why the little guy defends troons, since he's a 36 year old man who looks like a pooner

This is a real photo btw

There's never any gratitude with troons. JK Rowling never gets any respect for being the first to include an accurate depiction of the average 30 year old FtM transgender Aiden in children's media

Remember at one point she was like "Oh yeah, and Hermione was black and gay the whole time " to troll the kind of people who get mad about that? She should retroactively declare that Voldemort is officially trans.

Because, he looks like one. And he won't leave children alone.

 

[Entomologist]

Purity spiraling killed the Left and it will kill the Right if they fall into it. As you rightly point out, JKR is a liberal who happens to stand with the Right on a couple of issues. You don't have to agree with everything she says, but why not take advantage of the fact that you've got somebody doing great work for a great cause?

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy; nothing more, nothing less. JKR's platform belongs to nobody other than JKR, and how she chooses to use it is entirely her decision. In this instance, she is using it in a manner that is in line with basic biology and sanity, but remember her background and her past actions. She does not take this stance for the same reasons as those on the Right. She takes it because her feminist ideology demands she take it; her feminism is a through-line of her overall leftist - not liberal, leftist - political beliefs. She does not mind the censorship, the bullying, the harassment, or the egregious abuse of governmental power; she endorses all of those tactics when they are wielded in service of a cause she supports. What she takes issue with is the rubbish idea that humans can change their biological sex.

There is nothing wrong with applauding her when she's right about something, and antagonizing her when the tide is finally turning on troonism would be a mistake, but one should maintain realistic expectations based upon her past behavior. Rowling was never on the Right, nor will she ever be; flunking a Leftist purity test doesn't automatically reclassify her. She actively courted these people right up until the day they finally turned on her; she agrees with them on 99% of the issues. I'd love to believe that she's come around on censorship in recent times, but I'm not holding my breath. At least she's proven she can excoriate with the best of them, though, and it couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

 

[Illuminati Order Official]

She clearly thinks these successful 30+ year old actors

Give up, Emma Watson will not have sex with you.

 

[AN/ALR56]

I'm just amazed that Emma didn't act since 2019 lmao, imagine what it must feel like when your entire professional sucess was in your teenage years when you're nearly 40?


Doesn't matter she has 60 million net worth, she can't escape it, and she burned all the bridges to try and hug it out being a convention speaker for the fans for the next 40 years like all those washed out trek or star wars actors who despised being typecast in the first place and are ungrateful for the million dollar checks and the gigantic fan base in the first place, because they imagined their avant-garde Shakespeare theater acting with a audience of 20 was more dignified or important.

 

[creaturestorm]

Because they were a good aesthetic choice.

Prioritizing appearance or presentation comes at directly at the expense of of meaning, depth, or function. You retarded chimp, it's shallow.

But, on the other hand: she also made it canon that wizards have designated shitting streets. Which makes the rest all worth it.

 

[Maldavius Figtree]

She didn't kowtow to the queers when she retroactively made Dumbledore and Grindelwald faggots?

Maybe I‘m a fag but honestly the two always read as gay lovers to me. I don‘t think it has been retroactively changed, unlike the black Hermione thing.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

It's hard not to like JK Rowling crusading against the Troon menace for several years now and seemingly getting to the point of winning, though I'd argue modern UK has way worse problems than troons, to the point that the power that be would rather people focus on the troons than things that should lead to a civil war.

Love her or hate her, that response was brutal.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Even when things seemingly don't matter, most people are infuriatingly spineless. At my university (and it was a male-dominated field, not some gender studies liberal crap) we had an "ethics class". During one of those classes, we had a hypothetical scenario thought experiment: You work in a hospital which is developing a brand new very promising treatment with fantastic results for a dangerous health issue with women. Your sister has this affliction, and would really benefit from the program, but she's not on the list. You can add her to the list but only at the cost of removing some stranger from it. No one will ever know you did it, neither you nor your sister will ever be punished for it, do you do it?

Every single person in the class, and I do mean every single one went "oh no it would be unethical to save my sister, I'd rather have the complete stranger live!". I stood up, looked at a guy spewing this filth and told him point blank (translated) "Are you kidding me?!". He looked like a deer in headlights, they all did. Even in a 0 stakes made-up scenario, people spew the most vile lies (or horrifying truths?), they won't even accept the basic premise that your family should matter more to you than a complete stranger you will never meet.

This is pretty unrelated, but I feel like there's a similarity, I had to give a presentation on Cherokee history once and at one point I asked the class what they thought the golden age of the Cherokee was.

Without fail all of them just kind of mindlessly said "Before the Europeans arrived." Like it was a dumb question to even ask.

Professor asks me what I think.

I explain, it's the period between Washington's civilization program and Indian Removal. They have essentially achieved statehood/nationhood with the development of a constitutional government and the rule of law, have a defined territory, have developed a native script and achieved near 100% literacy, have become fully integrated into a market economy, etc, but still inhabit their original land.

The professor smiled contentedly. The class applauded. That student's name? Albert Einstein.

Okay, no, but he did smile contentedly and agreed. What I remember taking away from it was just how groupthinky the bunch was - and reflexively so - and how far off it was from the professor's preferred answer. And I thought, these shitbirds didn't actually think in the first place. They were just filling in what they assumed was the correct answer (and assumed wrong!).
