Why? I have a HP tattoo and don't regret it. The fandom has gone past the author at this point. She's a hateful removed but that doesn't mean that we can't still love the world and characters she created. We've made it our own.

It's a great example of why you shouldn't get a tattoo of something that is intellectual property. It's way too easy for that shit to get associated with bigots/hatred/etc down the line.

Another example: I'd love to eventually get a Star Trek tattoo. I can see the suits at CBS eventually burning the IP to the ground, sure. But they probably wouldn't turn anything Star Trek related into a hate symbol. But what happens if it turns out that neo-nazis start using ferengi imagery to spread anti-semetic hate? You can't guarantee your favorite skin art keeps the ethical values or meaning over the entirety of your life.

Nah, give her another bottle. Let it all come out. Ask some questions and get some real honest answers.

I don't know whether she is actually racist herself or not, but she is definitely willing to promote racists like Christopher Rufo and Matt Walsh so long as she sees them as being on her side regarding her hatred of trans people. On that basis I don't think it much matters what she actually believes, what's she doing is spreading racism

The last I heard, she's starting to associate with Nazis, so probably

Big time:

• Asian character with a nonsense name that sounds like Ching Chong
• black character Kingsley Shacklebolt (MLK Shackles)
• Jewish character named Goldstein
• Jewish stereotype goblins
• Irish character who's obsessed with whiskey and explosives.
• she went on Pottermore and explained that Skinwalkers are actually just misunderstood wizards, and the native american muggles were wrong to oppress the skinwalkers
• her designs of the international magic schools are ignorant nonsense

It will only unlock the disgusting contents of my stomach.

it stops my hand from shaking. how could it be unhealthy?

I think what the person on Twitter wrote is in response to Rowling going off on a rant about cisgender female boxer, Imane Khelif (from Algeria), in the Olympics, and insisting that she's a man. Rowling's tweet here. There's an article here that outlines the response from the Olympics, and the other female boxer, Italian boxer Angela Carini, who lost to Imane Khelif.

Carini, however, said to reporters after the match: “I wish her to carry on until the end and that she can be happy … I am not here to judge or pass judgment. If an athlete is this way, and in that sense it’s not right or it is right, it’s not up to me to decide.”

And as that article also notes:

It’s also worth noting that it is illegal to be transgender in Algeria – so to peddle the information that the country would send a trans athlete to compete in the Olympics would frankly be laughable if it wasn’t so maddening.

Edit: Forgot to link to the article.

I'd argue that TERF-ism, especially JKR's brand of it, has both classist and racist elements ingrained within it

The whole ideology is based around gatekeeping 'womanhood' to a single shared demographic experience, denying feminism to those outside of it

There are ways in which trans women have had differing experiences of femininity from cis women. But the same is true of black women of white women, etc

It might be explicitly anti-trans; but it's implicitly anti-in-group

We are sure she is TE. Not sure about the RF.
