A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

True. J.K. Rowling didn't have shit to say about trans people when she was on the dole.

Maybe she had shit to say but no one would care. There are plenty of nobodies with similarly crappy opinions but no one pays them any attention.

Insofar as I recall she wasn't TERF'y until well after the books and movies. Most folks could ding her for during that time period was the goblins and some character naming.

Sure, but back then the whole issue didn’t get that much attention to begin with.
