She's an annoying radical feminist. Hates men. Hates trans people.

Life isn't a video game karma meter.

You don't get to say "I support A people and hope B people die" and expect to have perception of you balanced out at 0.

If one will become notable for believing a disenfranchised section of humanity are people that don't deserve their rights and dignity, you will be remembered for that.

Trying to put her on a numerical scale is irrelevant.

Despite how she may vote, the right wing group she's been running with spreads hateful rhetoric and stands against most of the things she claims to support. How useful is someone's word when they claim to be a feminist but then get buddy buddy with Matt Walsh, who idolizes the idea of a world where women are subservient to men?

Popular discourse has much longer term impacts than someone's voting records

She votes Tory and not just because she's rich.

Likely, she's a left leaning person who also happens to be a TERF. It's not mutually exclusive, people can be bigotted for lots of reasons.

She donated so much money to charity that she is no longer a billionaire
She is opposed to isolationism and is pro union in the UK and EU
She is pro universial healthcare and not paying for perscriptions
She's pro gay rights including gay marriage (before it was cool)
Has sued over 50 right wing media outlets for misinformation
Has condemned the UK conservative Party/Donald Trump and widely praised Barack Obama
Has widely campaigned for recongition of Single Parents and tax credits for same
Is huge on social programs and raising minimum wage

Aside from her weird transgender hateboner how is any of this "On the right"?

In UK politics she'd be considered center left, moderate figure in the Labour party.

In US politics she'd be more left wing than Bernie Sanders.

You can be left wing and still a bigot fellas

It is worth noting for US users that there are multiple parties in the UK and Labour is not the most left wing one.

That would be Green or Lib Dems and in fact Labour has shifted center right over the past 4 years hoping to suck up the same idiots who voted Brexit

But she absolutely does not vote Conservative

Outside the anti-trans beliefs which are more and more taking over she seems pretty left leaning. However those anti-trans beliefs will mean she will side with people in the far right.

I find it really odd that in another topic you're claiming you post here all the time on your main, yet you're misgendering the most prominent transuser on this board, even after I corrected you that Gunpla is a she. While simultaneously claiming you're not actually defending anti-vaxxers and transphobes, it just keeps working out that way.

I was gonna point that out but at this point he's either obviously trolling or not even trying to hide his opinion on transpeople, so there's no reason to respond to him.

If I'm one of the two, I already said I don't think JK Rowling is right wing. I think she's left wing and also happens to be a TERF.

Me calling out Google is unrelated.

I know you're full of shit, but just so nobody else is confused:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80328666/971180152

And you quoted that post where I specifically called her "she", using he repeatedly. Then pointedly changed it to "they" instead of "she"

Time to bust out another alt, my friend, because this one's been compromised.

I didnt ever catch that. You could have been more direct as I completely missed that.

Shes happy with the status Quo and is classist and transphobic. But shes also very pro feminism and LGBT (well not really the T). Id say shes a transphobic centre leaning democrat.
