Posting photos meant to sexually humiliate, even if the photo was taken in public with implied consent, is still a criminal act under the UK’s upskirting law.

Rowling is no longer merely a TERF, but a sex pest.

    It's a four way tie. Rowling, Musk, Trump, Thiel.

    I mean i get it, she sucks, but the other three in there are actively working to turn the world into their feudal pocket empires, rape kids, dismantle democracy. Rowling is "just" being really obsessive about that trans rights issue as far as i know.

    Obviously those things are on different levels of bad.

    I am sorry but i must strongly dissagree. It is very likely that she is at the forfront of a genocide against transgender people. Is she killing us directly? No. But she is doing incredible harm to us. Please try to be less flippant.

    I don't want to discard what she is doing of course. But i am concerned with the hyperboly expressed in this thread, she is not enacting a literal genocide, as in, actively trying to exterminate humans wholesale for who they are. She is not in political power, working towards that very goal.

    Those are the other ghouls who own or are politicians, media conglomerates, instruments of public discourse. As far as i can tell, all she is/does is being a random hateful bigot bitching on social media, just with more money to give her reach and attention.

    Press charges and sue for posting the image. If she wants a debate, make it part of the cross examination.

    Isn't that some kind of sexual assault independently of the gender of the victim?

    Never in my entire life will I understand what drives these hateful assholes. If you know it, please don't explain it to me. I consider myself lucky not being in a position to understand their emotions.

    I'm beginning to think so many successful writers are terrible people because it must help them write a wider range and depth of characters. Lovecraft was so paranoid/hateful about anyone different than him, Charles Dickens hated his wife and kids, and now we have Rowling.

    I’m beginning to think so many successful writers are terrible people because it must help them write a wider range and depth of characters.

    If this is the case, it certainly seems to have skipped over Rowling.

    Putting her in the same sentence as Lovecraft and Dickens is insane.

    yeah but two of those authors at least used their trauma to write good and interesting stories.

    rowling just got lucky with the right kinda story at the right time getting popular in the right kinda country that could throw immense wealth at it. There're hundreds of other realistic fiction YA novels that are certainly better than HP and way less problematic, but unfortunately the one written by a hater on a crusade soaks up a majority of the attention.

    “[Deadname] still has me blocked, so I rebut his opening statement thus: I am not an idiot,” Rowling wrote in the first of at least eight posts about debating Wallace that day.

    This certified non-idiot can't get pronouns right, doesn't understand the difference between a debate vs. a platformed misinformation campaign, and then turned a disingenuous request into sexual assault.

    Harry Potter's bigoted grandma got it wrong from the start, doubled down in the middle, and then punched herself in the face by proving that she can't even define the word "idiot" even with it written all over her own face.

    You know, what’s really interesting is the JD Vance and Lindsay Graham angle on this. These people really have a public gay/transphobia because of something much deeper. It’s not that they hate gays or trans, it is that they are jealous these people found a way to come out and live a life where they are out and true about who they are, while they are closeted and can’t for some reason or another.

    I bet she wouldn’t want anyone to find out her browsing history.

    Presenting trans identity—and not trans rights or legal protections—as an ideological debate is a right-wing rhetorical strategy intended to make it seem like being trans is a choice, much like how gay people’s identities are discussed as a “preference” or “lifestyle” by conservatives.

    Very well said.

    Her response when called out 'she loved it'. Then later she compared what she does to people who try to debate her, to what a rapist does to people. Because she's so good at debate, you see.

    Grok, make me an image of Rowling without her clothes on and post it on Elon's account.
