People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.
She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.
Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.

every time HP Lovecraft’s name comes up in conversation we’re obliged to do a collective struggle session about his racism but J.K. Rowling is out here donating the proceeds of her IP to the Foundation For Putting Trannies In The Thresher and people are like ‘well her work means a lot to me’
It truly is an encapsulation of ablism that you’re being downvoted regarding keeping things accessible on a post about causing harm to the marginalized.
Yep, delicious irony of keyboard activists:
✔️ express consciousness
❌ take real, immediate action that doesn’t even require leaving the keyboard/mobile app

Speaks to the sincerity of some.
