It does make me wonder if JK is actually asexual herself, and feels shame about it. Like how men who claim that “being gay is a choice” often feel that way because they consciously forced themselves to be straight despite their attraction to other men.
I’ll steelman her POV because it seems people are (rightly) confused.
Asexuals are requesting a day of recognition for what she sees as a negative-identity. Keep in mind, conservatives are often meritocratic.
It’s like if there were a day for “coffee refrainers”, for everyone who doesn’t like drinking coffee. I’m sure if someone dunked on that day and the coffee refrainers, it’d all be in good spirits.
But if someone dunked on asexuality, I’m sure it’d cause a lot of upset and defensive argument, which implies more “merit” to asexuality.
While progressives can go “who cares, just leave em be”, conservatives see all “non-deserved” attention as an affront to meritocracy, that needs to be squashed.
This actually really helps me understand her perspective. I think she’s wrong of course, and even harmful, but I appreciate the steelman.
Harry Potter creator goes on rant about asexuals for some reason 🤷🏽♂️
Because she is a homophobic piece of shit.
Sounds like Voldermor was inspired by her own persona
More the Dursleys IMO. She hates the people who don’t conform to her view of normality.
Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.
Either way, I’m very curious how the LGBT community views a wholly trans-phobic shit stain that simultaneously claims to support the gay community. I know just such a person and would like some insight from the community itself.
Homophobic? I thought she was just anti-trans.
Will she sure is not an ally, or even neutral.
The term is TERF.
In the HP fanfiction community many/most despise her.
The reason is the billionaire TERF glitch.

Dang. Another censorship-ban.
We need more lemmy communities that are willing to tolerate opposition to the trans agenda.
She’s pathetic.
I’m ace and JK can go fuck herself
Well you’re not going to do it, what choice does she have?
Man, she sees a jpeg and her head explodes.
What the hell does the bottom post even mean? Is she saying she prefers segregated bathrooms? I knew she is a TERF but she’s apparently also racist?
For a professional writer you’d think she would know that a quotation (even a fictional one) requires quotation marks around it to make it clear to the reader that it’s not what you are saying but somebody else. Perhaps this makes more sense:
“Refusing to accept that people who don’t like sex belong in the gay category is akin to wanting segregated bathrooms in the 1950s, John,” as approximately a thousand gender activists will inform you once their hands stop literally shaking.
She’s mocking the people who replied to her.
I don’t read it like a quote. She’s telling John an opinion (sarcastically) and then letting him know the activists will inform him the same thing. It’s not grammatically incorrect, just difficult to parse (which is still not the best writing).
Wow she really isn’t very good.
How were we so starved for something that we latched onto her baloney?
Not to defend her, but she’s saying that the ““woke”” crowd is saying what she’s saying is as bigoted as segregated bathrooms. She’s racist for entirely independent reasons
Why doesn’t she write a book about whatever unimaginable horrific childhood trauma turned her into such a vile adult?

what fucking gave her the right to weigh in
Her money and her blind fans who continue to enable her and ignore the fact that she is a horrible person.
Blind fans? I’ve never met anyone that was a fan of HP that wasn’t aware of who she is exactly, they either agree with her or choose to give her money anyway because they made HP their whole personality and can’t imagine reading any other set of books.
Bigot says bigot things
She’s just a raging ball of hate.
