He also says women are the funniest people he knows and a lot of his closest friends life long have been women, so I don't think he is a woman hater.
she wrote an incredibly mild mannered essay about how mtfs shouldn't be in rape shelters and bathrooms with vulnerable women while still calling them she and being generally supportive
No, she's not. Read her work. She's against porn, which really makes her closer to second wave. Third wave is pro queer, pro trans, pro porn, pro almost everything wrong in the world.
Ah, I thought she had resentment towards men due to her past so I assume she was in the third wave category. I didn't know she was anti-porn.
She never gaybaited Dumbledore.
Thanks for explaining. I just saw this thread and wanted to know where the hate of her originated and thought this was what upsetted her fans originally. I mean no harm.
Sorry for wording it the way I did.
No? Have you read her books? The most anti-man thing she's said aside from men not belonging in places like women's prisons, is that male feminists aren't pro-woman so much as they are pro-positions that they benefit from, particularly the ones that make getting laid easier. Those are also the sort who get upset at the suggestion that they don't belong in endometriosis support groups.
Husbands definitely get raked over the coals a bit in the Strike books - abusive, ignorant, etc - but on the whole Rowling is not anti-man. Her two main series both have male protagonists who despite flaws are portrayed as heroic, intelligent, and self-sacrificing, and many of the male supporting cast is portrayed positively. Harry has Sirius, Dumbledore, Arthur, the Weasley siblings, and Remus; Strike has Sam Barclay, Shanker, and Richard Antsis.
Even if she is, it's a free country (yeah, I know, just bear with me). We can have Seth Macfarlane's jokes about dumb bitches and JK Rowling's assessments of entitled males.
I’m here, i’m so glad i opened this website randomly and saw this because i enjoy discussing Lolita (as you probably surmised. it is my favorite book)
That doesn’t mean that JK Rowling is a pedo sympathizer, it means she read the book and felt what the author wanted her to feel. He has feelings and sorrows and paints it like a bittersweet love story for a reason. Also, hey retard, that’s not even what happened in the book… The child was taken from a hospital by another pedophile, but she escaped him and married her husband (not a pedo). Humbert kills the other pedophile, not the husband.
This is correct.
Ok it was a love story sort of in Humbert’s mind but to the general public it would be viewed as a horrific crime
It IS an interesting book with layers upon layers of thought provoking sentiments but ok
Yes
That is actually hilarious
Reminder that the people pretending to think lolita equals jkr nonce also pretend to belive that because hosue elves exist in her books she is basically a slave trader. At least I think they re pretending. It must be insane trying to actually navigate life if you really are that dumb. I can remember being very politically tribal when I was younger but I can't remember or imagine purporting to belive something that I knew was wrong and looked retarded.
I think that's fairly simple. It's really hard to do the unreliable narrator thing in film because you're looking at the whole thing as an observer. You have to cheat and dodge (or use elaborate tricks like Nolan in Memento or Fincher in Fight Club). HH comes across as exactly what he is, a pedophile, in the movie, because you just see what he's doing.
What the hell is a house elf? Actually no, I don’t want to know. I never read Harry Potter, something about it being this huge established fantasy world that was too easy to get lost and too preoccupied in for me (my entire presence on this website kind of just happened, it wasn’t a willing choice).
I have never seen any of the movies, I’ll admit, but I have no idea why they even considered making the book into a movie. The type of literary devices it utilizes makes it so the media is only impactful in a novel form. You can’t have Humbert Humbert lying about how he’s a normal person while you have your eyes to refute whatever angle he tries to push. It’s not like you can just have a grown woman act as Lolita and then at the end reveal she’s a child either, because a huge part of his story WAS that she was a child and he knew that damn well.
