They seem ultra salty about the original actors being good persons.

"Traitorous little numpties" they are calling them.

This controversy is so damn weird. The only valid complaint are those who are anti-JKR people pissed that a new series like this means more revenue stream for JKR. Anything else is just stupid. Saying that they're trying to erase the movies or the 3 main leads because they're all anti-JKR with this new tv series doesn't even make a lick of sense. Hell, the worst takes are from the Anti-SJW's that are mad that this show is probably going to add in something "woke" like race swaps to... things that JKR is known to support. It's pretty on brand for JKR to change things to whatever she likes, like when she said Dumbledoore is gay. Do these people not know that before this whole "TERF" business, she was super heavily a Feminist. She's just so feminist that she became everything "anti-man" which is what the TERFS are.

If someone is liberal in all aspects of society/culture except one, are they liberal?
  1. Liberalism is not above being susceptible to bigotry. How many white liberals harbor racist tendencies, how many non-Jewish liberals use antisemitic phrases in casual conversation, how many straight liberals didnt support gay marriage? How many liberal men still engage in casual misogyny in their work and personal lives? Bigotry must be called out and anti-trans bigotry is no different, no matter how liberal a bigoted person might see themselves as being.
  2. Is she even really all that liberal? She wrote a book series where: slavery is okaya good thing even, because the slaves actually like it, honestly; the most prominent Asian character is named Cho Chang; some races (like the greedy hook-nosed ones who control all the banks) are just bad and cant really be trusted, and thats okay; lycanthropy, an intentional metaphor for people with HIV/AIDS, is represented by one single good and noble character, while the rest of the group are depicted as disgusting sickos who get off on intentionally infecting new people and all join the bad side in the big war
  3. As others have correctly pointed out, she has chosen to make this particular issue a sticking point, around which she has devoted almost the entirety of her public persona. Scrolling back through her Twitter feed for the month of April, out of 37 tweets, replies, and retweets she posted, 17 were about the trans issue, 17 were replies to fans on a post about the 10th anniversary of one of her books, one was about her husband and feminism in general, one was about the treatment of women in Iran, and one was about the first African woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. So when you accuse the left of breaking with her because of one issue, when we have (arguably) other areas where we might find common ground, keep in mind it is Rowling who is the one who never seems to be interested in talking about the issues where common ground might be found. She may agree with the left on 99% of issues but she seems quite determined to spend 95% of her time talking about that other 1%.

Im absolutely positive the main cast is fine with this. Theyre very much the type of people who got known for one thing and people still bring it up decades later as if theyve never done anything else of note in their careers. Its like being a music artist and dropping 20 albums and decades later people wont shut about your debut.

Nas doesnt want to hear about Illmatic again, hes done other shit, hes tired of talking about it.

Do they not understand that the movies will still exist?

This is up there with that smooth-brained take that a movie in a series that people dont like will somehow ruin the older movies.

I wish people would stop making this shit their whole personalities lmao.

It's just the "one little thing" of promoting anti-trans rhetoric, and the one little thing of helping fund an anti-trans shelter, and the one little thing of campaigning against the Gender Recognition Act.
Or the "one little thing" of aligning yourself with self described theocratic fascists like Matt Walsh whose views go far beyond just anti trans issues. But ya know, we just love our purity tests apparently

trans activists will rain hellfire on the unlucky actor/actress for being involved with the project to begin with regardless if they themselves are trans or not.

It's funny because she went with 'JK' precisely so that publishers would take her seriously, rather than use her real name

But then trans issues came into the spotlight and she really didn't like them but apparently that's enough for them.

It's basically a cultural "one drop test." She doesn't align on one issue so she's out of the club.
Oh piss off. You both severely downplay just how big of a TERF she is. She is constantly attacking the trans community, using her platform and money to do it.

Do these dumbfucks not understand that HBO is making this series? The same HBO that has been at the forefront (relative to broadcasting companies) of LGBTQ issues for literally decades? I would be surprised if the HP series doesn't have at least one trans character.

This whole thing has real "stopped drinking Bud Lite to drink another Anheuser Busch beer" vibes. Dumb assholes.

Whoooa, you read that the wrong way if you think I was downplaying. By "and that was enough for them" the "them" being referred to were the anti-woke right-wingers. I guess I didn't make that clear.

Only that isn't what happened. She was given the benefit of the doubt for years. People ignored her occasional bad take, accepted her apology and moved on. She just kept saying worse things, kept spreading known lies and doubling down on them. She wasn't kicked out, Che left willingly and burned the building and the bridge behind her.
