![]() If we'd only canceled her for writing the Harry Potter books, none of this would have happened.

![]() Her old ass boomer perspective sucks, but at some point expectations for someone who wrote corny formulaic predictable children’s books needs to be reasonably low, right?

![]() I’m not excusing her shit. She sucks. But what do we honestly expect from her? Old people suck at gender stuff.

![]() "The children's author JK Rowling is being "canceled" on Twitter after it emerged her latest book featured a male killer who wears dresses as he kills his female victims."
uhh.. ETLSOOM (enlighten the living shit out of me, a term coined here by me, circa 2005) - what is the big deal here? |

![]() I think that the idea is that having evil/mentally disturbed characters crossdress might strike some as stigmatizing trans women.
Of course, crossdressing, drag, and being trans are all totally different things, but since many people conflate them, some might see the use of one as a narrative device as being an attempt at commentary on all three. It probably wouldn't warrant as much suspicion if written by somebody who hasn't already expressed "gender-critical" views and doesn't have a known TERF-y bent. But since it is being written by one, it does make one stroke one's chin and go hmmmmm |

![]() I haven't read the novel, but I think I've heard that Harris has the psychologists in the book specifically say that Buffalo Bill isn't trans just to avoid any possible unintended implications.

![]() seems like a reach. like people are on a hunt to find things to be offended about. there's plenty of things out there in the world at large, but this one seems like a stretch

![]() she's willing to totally die on the hill

![]() I think the reaction in this case is driven by how the plot summary for this new story pairs with things she's been quoted as saying, such as, "When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman . . . then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside."

She's a garbage person. The trope of a trans, gay, queer male psychotic murderer is an old bigoted trope that plays on peoples' fears of queer people. |

![]() The narrative trope in fiction of a psychotic queer person needs to end. These stereotypes in entertainment and literature are effective BECAUSE they prey on bias against queer people.
Just like depicting black men as rapists and drug dealers. Or latinos as violet gang members. All of these things are morally reprehensible as narrative choices. |

Without Fox News and other right wing media amplifying these messages and providing cover to say these things publicly, I don't think as many older people like Rowling would ever get lured into this ideology, or at least they wouldn't feel that it's OK to voice it publicly the way she does. |

![]() Absolutely I agree. My expectations are lower than low for people’s capacity to empathize or think critically. I assume most everyone is a horrid bigot.
And Fox and the like don’t just cater to these people. They’re created by them. It’s a difficult cause and effect loop. |
