The irony being that the media does lie about her, just not in the way 'Kathryn' here wants.
Be fair, Surf Dracula has the potential to be a fucking banger cosplay."Son, books are a tool of ideological domination. You are going to school dressed as my favourite skeet, and that is that."
"If she were a racist, she would be indistinguishable from a Klansman!"Oh dear, their derangement knows no bounds!
She's homophobic, racist, antisemitic, transphobic, and mysoginst all at once. Despite the fact that she's a woman who donates money to abuse victims and wrote one of her favorite characters to be gay as a morning sunrise..They decided she is homophobic because she never expressly said that Dumbledore is a homosexual man until after the publication of the last book.
The two reasons this is dumb as fuck in my opinion is firstly, what has a headteacher’s sexuality got to do with what is primarily a book series about school children?
The second is that in the period she wrote most of the books, a lot of gays were making offended noises about when homosexuals were depicted in media, they were usually depicted with their homosexuality being the most defining characteristic about them.
Dumbledore was a talented wizard, a respected headmaster and an active participant in the fight against wizard fascism or supremacy.
Being a big old poof was just secondary, which back then was considered a good depiction because homos were more about acceptance and normalization of gay people in society.
These days, because he wasn’t mincing around in a tinsel covered robe and openly flirting with Harry and Ron, the standard is that he must have been violently oppressed by evil cis straight society into the closet.
Which is fucking bullshit, as it’s clear from the context that his peers knew, but no one ever brought it up or criticized him for it because it wasn’t relevant.

Crispin Blunt’s chemsex parties informed government policy, court hears
Former Tory MP pleads guilty to possessing crystal meth, GBL and cannabis at Westminster magistrates’ court

The charges were brought against Crispin Blunt after police searched his home in Horley, Surrey, in 2023

Crispin Blunt hosted chemsex parties and used the experience to inform drugs policy while serving as a minister in Lord Cameron’s government, a court has heard.
The former Tory MP was fined £1,200 after pleading guilty to possessing Class A and Class B drugs, including crystal meth and cannabis, at Westminster magistrates’ court.
Methamphetamine, known as crystal meth and valued at £200-£250, was found on Blunt’s bedside table during a police raid of his home in Horley, Surrey, the court heard. He was also in possession of the chemical drug gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), a sedative, and cannabis.
Blunt, 65, served as a justice minister under Lord Cameron from 2010 to 2012. The court heard that he told police he entered the chemsex scene after being appointed to the Tory-led coalition government, and used his experience of drugs parties to inform policy development.
“It was the first time he had come out as a gay man, and during his ministerial role, he saw first-hand the harm caused by the government’s drug policy,” said Zarah Dickinson, prosecuting, summarising his police interview.
She added: “He began to take a professional interest in a policy that inflicted lasting harm on society.
“Then he began his involving [sic] in the chemsex scene. His knowledge of first-hand use of drugs was used to inform how policies could be implemented.”
Polite and calm during police raid
She said Blunt outlined hosting chemsex parties, adding that he would strictly limit GBL use to once an hour.
Ms Dickinson said plastic bottles containing a mixture of crystal meth and amphetamine were recovered from his home.
A syringe filled with £200-worth of GBL was found in a laptop bag, and a bag of cannabis valued at between £5 and £10 was recovered. Officers also discovered weighing scales containing powder residue.
Ms Dickinson said Blunt was polite and calm while police raided his home, pointing out the drugs to the officers.
She told the court: “This arises from a police investigation into offences alleged to have occurred during a chemsex party at Mr Blunt’s home address in September 2023. No charges were brought on those alleged offences.”
The drugs charges were brought against Blunt after police searched his home while he was being investigated for suspected rape in October 2023.
After an 18-month investigation, Surrey Police said in May that there would be no further action on the rape allegation because of insufficient evidence.
Blunt represented himself during the court proceedings on Wednesday.
Blunt made a speech in court lasting more than 30 minutes in which he insisted that criminal charges should never have been brought against him.
He said he had considered taking the case to a jury trial, to argue that he should be acquitted based on the fact that the charges of possession of drugs should not exist.
He suggested that drug possession charges against a first-time offender usually end with an out-of-court caution, and hinted at a belief that his political views on drugs reform, transgender rights, and support for Palestinians may have lain behind the case being brought against him.
Blunt suggested Rishi Sunak, the former prime minister, was “complicit in war crimes” over his support for Israel after Hamas’s Oct 7, 2023 attacks against Israel.
He told Tan Ikram, the deputy chief magistrate, that he believed politicians had failed to properly consider drug policy reform.
They have “sat with moral simplicity that drugs are bad, they are banned, without regard to the appalling consequences of that simple position”, he said. “It keeps politicians safe on the moral high ground.”
Blunt was elected as a Conservative MP in 1997. He later served as chairman of the foreign affairs committee from 2015-2017.
He lost the Tory whip when he was first arrested by police in 2023 and stood down from Parliament at the 2024 general election.
Before entering politics, Blunt graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and spent more than a decade as an officer in the Army.
It's because "Cho" and "Chang" are apparently two different Asian last names put together, as opposed to a first name and last name. I think they might also be different Asian culture last names, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Basically, troons have been accusing her of being "racist" for naming a character something they see as akin to naming a character "Ching Chong". But I think it was just a case of Rowling being a white British person and not an expert on Asian culture. It doesn't seem like she had malicious "racist" intent at all with Cho Chang. But troons love to twist and extrapolate perceived "bigotry" to make "social media cancel posts" out of anything. And they've had an extra close critical eye on anything Rowling does ever since she became anti-troon. I haven't heard any racist accusations about her until after she became anti-troon. Once someone stops supporting troons, the troons want to accuse them of every other -phobic/-ist too.This is kinda random maybe but IDK where else to ask this.
I've been seeing people make fun of Rowling for having an Asian character with an Asian name for years. Why exactly is this a bad thing? Why is it bad for an Asian character with a presumably Asian family to have a name that is common for people with her nationality/ethnicity?
Something tells me they would still be upset if she had an Asian character that was named "Margaret" or "Jasmine" or whatever.
Well in the movies the character is from Scotland, so maybe her parents were weird new-wave hipsters who gave all their kids stupid names."Cho" isn't used as a Chinese first name and would be a not-so-common surname, but it is a common Korean surname. Like if she named a character from Spain "Schultz Rodriguez."
A lot of them are also just too young and ignorant to understand romanization of Asian names was much less standardized back in the 80s/90s. "Cho" and "Chang" probably aren't strictly pinyin and could be a lot of different names (as it happens, the chink translations have her as family name Zhang, given name Qiu, which are pronounced pretty close to "chang" and "cho".)It's because "Cho" and "Chang" are apparently two different Asian last names put together, as opposed to a first name and last name. I think they might also be different Asian culture last names, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
