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

[LimeRikki]

Books being released and popular on BookTok are fan fic pretty often.

So..."books"?

Did you know JKR promotes white supremacy because she supports biological sex? I bet you didn't.

Spoiler

In the 19th century, as European colonialism expanded around the globe, two competing scientific theories about the biological origins of human species sought to explain variation in human skin color. Polygenesis, which legitimated white supremacy and colonization, held that human beings were divided into different races with little or no shared origin. Theories about naturally discrete races translated to classifications and taxonomies of the supposedly distinct, immutable biological characteristics and temperament of each human race. Monogenesis was the less popular theory that all human beings share the same origins. However, Darwin’s evolutionary theories put an end to the polygenesis/monogenesis debate with the publication of On the Origin of Species (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871).

Darwin and his followers argued for a monogenetic but evolutionary view of all species, including human beings. Human beings were thus no longer classified as belonging to discrete species but came to be viewed along an evolutionary but hierarchical continuum ranging from the primitive to the advanced. In this evolutionary schema, all human peoples were related, but it was said that different races were on different scales or stages. All human beings were now to be viewed and judged as being on a racialized continuum where intelligence, beauty, morality, fecundity, and physical ability increased as one moved up evolutionary stages. Of course, the white Europeans who formulated these theories considered themselves the most advanced.

Human evolutionary schemas gave birth to the scientific field of eugenics and to theories about degeneracy. “Scientific” concepts of degeneracy held that social problems, such as crime, madness, and aberrant sexual desire, stem from the hereditary defects or atavistic traits of individuals. In other words, European doctors and scientists claimed that social problems in Europe were the result of some white Europeans retaining “primitive” (i.e., Black) traits or preserving an African phylogenic inheritance. Doctors and scientists used anthropomorphic measurements to decide where a person might fall on the racialized evolutionary continuum in order to diagnose degeneracy or make eugenic interventions.
While categorizations and measurements of “sex” were vital for polygenetic racial taxonomies, “sex” became even more important within monogenetic human evolutionary schemas, eugenic projects, and theories about degeneracy. Doctors and scientists developed elaborate racialized measurements and classifications of genitalia, pelvises, breasts, and buttocks. Undeniably, the present coherence of “biological sex” is an effect of 19th century scientific racism and discourses of white supremacy.

Using racial classifications of anatomical measurements, 19th-century evolutionary theorists asserted that sexual dimorphism was an evolutionary achievement rather than a natural condition for human beings. White Europeans assumed that they were the most “highly evolved” with the highest levels of sexual dimorphism (that is, European men and women were different but complimentary in every way: body and mind) and that sexual dimorphism decreased as one went down the civilizational rungs of the evolutionary ladder. In just one example of many, the famed sexologist Richard von Krafft-Ebing wrote in 1886, “The secondary sexual characteristics differentiate the two sexes; they present the specific male and female types. The higher the anthropological development of the race, the stronger these contrasts between man and woman.” In this schema, Black people supposedly had the lowest levels of sexual dimorphism. “Biological sex” thus was never simply binary but was, from its inception, categorized along racialized degrees of difference.

Not to worry, there are actual scientists out there who argue sexual dimorphism should be thrown out and that there is no way to tell who is male or female. Along with Jessie Gender, you have scientists like Miriam (Michael) Miyagi saying that calling transwomen 'biological males' is scientifically inaccurate. Also that sex hormones aren't real while they guzzle estradiol.

It also pisses me off when they call themselves, writers, you're not a writer. You're ripping off of somebody else's idea and patting yourself on the back for it. If you had any real talent or courage you'd make something original. But that's not gonna get you attention now is it? And it would require real creativity and original thought.

I might be biased because I am into that shit, but there are some very talented writers who do fix terrible endings (Game of Thrones is one) and generally explore things the canon did not. Harry Potter has an enormous fandom on AO3, and the top fic there is called 'All the Young Dudes', a Wolfstar fic that has the author saying she emphatically does not support JKR's 'transphobic views'. Despite all her tweets, her fandom stays strong. They can't turn away from her work.

That said, the fanfiction horror threads is where you can really see how crazy shit get.

who do "fix" terrible endings

This is the exact kind of attitude fic "writers" have that I hate. How arrogant.

That is the last I will say on this topic.

Anyway, love that JKR's deranged fans keep getting more nuts. Its only going to turn more people against thess deranged loons.

Do not bring the kids into the argument.

Be under no illusion, kids are off limits.

If you bring the kids into the discussion we will take you aside and break your arms and your legs.

We will break you arms AND legs .

You DO NOT EVER bring kids into the argument.

Understand this.

They have a personality, it's best described as "pissing and moaning on the Internet and begging for handouts."

It's honestly disturbing how many of them resort to begging on Twitter.

"HI I'm [trans person] and I have [insert incredibly mundane problem here]. So if you want to help a disabled person, any little bit helps."

Like did you even try getting a job first?

You forget.

"WE CAN'T FIND JOBS! NO ONE WILL HIRE US! OH WAIT! IT'S MA'AM, YOU INCEL CHUD! FUCK YOU! REEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

"Gets fired the next day."

"Leftist Gamer Memes" and The Onion do an epic own of JK Rowling.

Let's check the comments:

How do they respond to pushback?

Particularly interested in the "highest biology class" question. Managed to fight back the temptation to ask that person what the third gamete is.

HP fans and "critics" already unironically make the argument that Voldemort is an anti-trans or "anti-queer" dogwhistle. JKR’s Male-to-Monster: Voldemort’s Transphobic Coding (archive is being pissy so I'll fix it later) is an example. Written by a pooner who confesses to "over-identifying" with voldy to the point she saw him as a justification to transition, but she also argues that Rowling, deliberately or otherwise, wrote him as a "transphobic allegory" that showed how much she hates trannies. The blog post is just sneer after sneer.

If you look at Voldemort and think "tranny" then you might be transphobic. Which is good! Transphobia is a rational response to transsexuals, but don't go around claiming that you're some kind of trans champion for claiming that Voldemort is a troon.

Surprising how many male names are handmaidening in the comments. Chasers or pooners? Either way, they can face the same wall.

Almost like this whole thing is a male rights movement or something.

Chasers or pooners? Either way, they can face the same wall.

A big reason the trans movement has caught on as much as it has, is that it gives left wing men a moral framework that lets them hate women and oppose conservatives at the same time. I think this is mostly straight dudes who would never in a million years fuck a troon. But would also tell a lesbian that she needs to get over her "genital preferences" if she also refused to do that.

I think they'd probably jack off to tranny porn, though.

Breaking is too gentle. Disjoint them.

Somebody dig up that slashfic where late teenage Tom Riddle is exploring Egypt and gets raped by Indiana Jones.

Was it this one? It sounds pretty incredible, but nothing will beat that one fanfic I've read on a forum way back when in which Mr Weasley has sex with Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher. Wish I could find it.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

It’s rather impressive just how much that Wizarding News dude does not know how to shut the fuck up.

“I’m sorry, please don’t sue….except I’m still right FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU!”

“Please, I posted a retraction, why are you bullying me??? You’re a racistFUCKYOUFUCKYOU!”

And so on.

Apparently I'm blocked by the guy, which is weird because I have no memory of every engaging with him.

Probably. I never actually read it, just a Cracked article that mentioned it, back in the days when Cracked was still funny.

Fanfic writers live in a different universe.
