Everything else aside, this is spreading that she's anti trans far and wide

I believe they call this industry capture.

Comments

She's retained more creative control than most authors get over adaptions too. It's interesting that they feel the need to spread this so widely when we know she has real influence there.

Good to see them openly say she has anti trans views though, that's new.

They’re not even coding it as something like “controversial views”, “opinions on the trans issue”, or “standing up for women’s rights”, most of those headlines are straight-up calling her anti-trans.

It kinda comes off a bit panic PR, I wonder if something happened behind the scenes already.

It means that the Ministry is interfering at Hogwarts 🤭

I mean, Pedro Pascal called them out specifically for boycott so they're not getting the best press this week...

duffeh.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wait he called hbo out, I thought it was just wizard lady.

A very large number of nerds are ride-or-die for Pedro Pascal, and he called out JKR specifically even before he called for a HBO boycott...

And he chose a moment when he was very much at the centre of attention (post Last of Us S2e2 spoiler event).

I think a lot of people have been canceling their HBO subscriptions and telling them it's over this show. I sure did. I will miss John Oliver but they put the main segment up on YouTube each week.

Or maybe her reaction to the ruling

dubdad.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think a lot of people who were never up to date on what was going on regarding the attack on trans rights suddenly sat up and took notice with the reaction outside the Supreme Court and with how Joanne celebrated.

I agree, that image of her broke through in ways nothing we have done could have

dubdad.bsky.social•1 day ago

Shot herself in the foot. So did the gender cranks with their obnoxious celebrations outside the Supreme Court.

Hopefully. I do think hbo will end up regretting it

- fans aren't gonna like the new version when the films were fine

- containing her views as she exposes her self more and likely the cast varying views (already 1 has disagreed with her)

I noticed that they were all non-uk publications mentioning the anti-trans bit, but if you google now you'll see the Independent and the Metro mentioning it as well, first time she's been called anti-trans in the British press? (Even if it is in quotes)

I'm sure there has been reference to it before, but I think this is going to turn into something very different for her

Barbara Streisand in effect.

The new character she’s written just for this show: Cho Tran - the evil hench “person” of Tom Riddle. She’s also Asian, so is obviously a baddy 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Jesus

charmedguy.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s not real - but I seriously wouldn’t put it past her. Her range of character names are reductive and Rascist tropes at best already.

dubdad.bsky.social•1 day ago

See. Nothing would surprise me with her. That's why I didn't doubt it😂😂

"political views" there is nothing political about fucking bigotry, she's a bigot and a hate filled bawbag.
