Why would anyone care if they were boycotted by queers?
Is that their only market?

“People who menstruate. I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?” the writer commented on Twitter in 2020, causing outrage from the LGBTQ community and others.

She was mocking them, and no one likes to be mocked.

So you capture kids, name them after me and then molest them?

You’re a sick puppy, true story.

Harry's change into Henrietta Harriet (as in Harry-It, sometimes I crack myself up) to prove I'm not transphobic.

She wasn’t homo enough?

The Marxist author certainly is

Disney needed to have a princess story.

Still, Lucas got his billions ... he should shut up and go for a swim in his money....

Kathleen Kennedy deserves permanent banishment from America, and movie making, for what she did to Star Wars.
Also, she’s going to create another dumpster fire with Indiana Jones 5.

Jon Favreau was solid with The Mandalorian.

The left hates women so they want a man in a dress to take over. They make better women than women, according to the left.

The, ah, “Wizarding World”? Does this mean that any group of superannuated adolescent role-playing fantasists can lay claim to anything they please and kick its creator to the side of the road? How about “NO”?

It’s the same issue. There wouldn’t be trannies without the delusion that two men shagging is ‘normal’. They never should’ve been let out of the closet.

“The lack of struggle and defeats for the protagonist betrays a lack of understanding of the most basic storytelling skills.”

I was referring to the Disney Star Wars movies. Bad, bad storytelling.

The Rowlings books are good.

She finished her series, so that's something.

Now GRRM, Patrick Rothfuss, maybe there's an argument...

The new film does its obligatory homage to faggotry and it was a boring POS. My wife was a diehard fan and they killed her interest.

breathing new life into a series that is begging for reinvention.

You mean, we'll see Harry drinking green milk, renouncing his battle with Voldemort, and declaring there is no difference between good and evil? No thanks.

Hi Jeff. I responded to the wrong post and poster.

Sorry.

And I agree with you.

She’s quite a pedestrian writer but that’s not the type of writer she is. Her creation of a consistent self-contained world is genius.

That's what makes fantasy and science fiction so difficult -- keeping track of the rules and details of the created world must be mind-boggling.

I have seen all three Fantastic Beasts movies and liked them all and I hope they continue the story. Dumbledore gay? Yeah, but it wasn’t nauseating. It kind of fits with Harry Potter as well, so I didn’t mind it as I didn’t feel it was forced on me. I think JK’s trans comments may have spawned the cancel mob to resist seeing the films. That in itself is just gd ridiculous. She’s a creative genius. They are her characters and her world. I hope she doesn’t sell out like Lucas. I was OK with the Star Wars sequels overall except for #8 really had it’s own set of WTF moments of wokeness.
