Enjoy the world you helped to make, J.K.
Ironic that she used her initials at first to conceal her gender from readers.
The people, who burned her books because they supposedly “promoted witchcraft” just struck me as ridiculous fringe elements (since JKR has stated in interviews more than once that she was no more promoting actual “witchcraft” than she believed CS Lewis or JRR Tolkien were - likewise, having read her books, I never thought them any more than fantasy). However, I find the current book-burnings, and the stated reasons for doing so not only FAR from ridiculous, but in actuality, I find them chilling from the standpoint of being directly aimed at cherished freedoms of speech, and artistic expression.
“Much like the boycott movement of Chick-Fil-A over comments by its CEO, people are seeking to punish Rowling through attacks on her literature.”
The linked article here does not mention or support boycott of CFA over its CEO’s comments. Instead, it refers to this about CFA at the San Antonio airport:
All Rats and a surprising many here are A-OK with the CEO’s comments to tell us we should be washing black people’s feet, because after all, it’s a great chicken sandwich!
Did they buy them first before they burned them , LOL
I am sure the author (or her agent) is ecstatic.
How could she possibly get better publicity?
The royalties for the books is a small bonus.
BTW, she already has “Eff You” money from the Harry Potter series.
The French Revolution. Part Deux.
So now I’ve gotta buy whichever ones my grandkids don’t have yet. It’ll probably have to come out of my beer budget!
Sex, there are TWO, male and female.
Gender refers to language.
“Over Her Personal Views Of Gender”
—
That there is male and female is not a “personal view”. It’s an objective scientific fact.
I would not push this logic too far if I were them.
It is also the same sort of logic that rounded up homosexuals of all flavors, especially transgenders at the library reading books to small children, and then removed them to protect society.
Silly fools. No one has forgotten this except for those who now whine the loudest about how unfair the world is today.
IF the thin veneer of tolerance is removed from thin veneer of society, that history WILL repeat itself ... you have all but guaranteed it.
But I thought “dumbledore” was “gay!” Shouldn’t she get a free pass?
I love the binarity of the Wuhanflu!
Why Covid-19 is different for men and women
J.K. Rowling did not get the message, you are not allowed to get off the lunatic train.
