The editor of the world's biggest Harry Potter fan site has urged supporters to stop buying JK Rowling's books and films over the author's 'transphobia' row. Ms Rowling has faced an intense backlash since she took issue with an online article about 'people who menstruate' last week - including from actors starring in the movie adaptations of her novels, such as Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson. Then yesterday, it emerged that a school in West Sussex dropped its plans to name a house after the author, telling parents Ms Rowling was 'no longer an appropriate role model for our community'.

Eating their own. It’s what they do. Any student of the french revolution understands this.

And the left continues to devour itself.

THAT will be the eventual end to this insanity. No one on the left remaining standing.

I hope J.K. sticks to her guns and doesn’t go all Drew Brees.

Anybody who feels “heartbroken” over an utterly false social construct is not a serious person to begin with.

America has been lucky so far. Post-modern/Nihilist/Leftist radicals and cultural revolutionaries are eating their own - but its occurring mostly in elitist salons and talking-shops of media, academia and business - without (so far) millions of dead bodies in gulags or the streets, as normally occurs elsewhere.

Perhaps God is giving us a final chance to reform ourselves and our polity without too harsh a judgement.

I’m trying to be hopeful.

It’s the new worldwide leftist Nazi party!

“Accept whatever we say, think whatever we say and do whatever we say...or you’re DONE!”

P.S. no opposing opinions tolerated.

The funny thing is she supports transgenderism and she just says they’re not women.

You’re either 100% with them or against them

I wonder if J.K. Trotsky is going to end up with an ice axe in the back of her head courtesy of the modern cultural Stalinists.

Stupid dem tricks. It’s nice to see some blowback for a few of these libtards, but it really doesn’t mean anything.

I have all the movies on Blu-ray. They are okay entertainment, but I never could see what all the fuss was about.

Ideology is a terrible burden for anyone to bear day in and day out, never setting it aside for practical considerations or even the possibility of a dialogue with a differing point of view.

The narrative devours the narrator. JK Rowlings keeps the two quite separate.
