Readers of the British newspaper, The Guardian, are accusing the outlet of deactivating an online poll that asked readers to vote on “Person of the Year” after it became apparent that J.K. Rowling would handily win.
“Tell us: who is your 2021 person of the year?” ran the headline, posted on Dec. 15, with the subtitle, “Time Magazine chose billionaire Tesla boss Elon Musk – but who would be your choice?” A short time later, when Rowling was far and away in the lead, the voting form disappeared, as did the results. A message in small print stated, “This form has been deactivated and is closed to any further submissions.”
Rowling has been at the center of numerous cancel culture storms this year for her refusal to deny the reality of biological sex. Earlier this month she stirred up controversy by mocking Scotland’s law enforcement policy that allows accused rapists to self-identify as female. “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
The Guardian has a poll for Person of the Year.

It’s delicious that the Guardian has egg on its’ face this way.
This is hilarious.
Silly Guardian, you need to let Dominion count the votes!
That’s like upending the chess board as the game nears its finish. Great sportsmanship!
This is especially hilarious since aside from gender politics JK is a rabid leftie.
Yep, this is the world she helped to make.
Rowling has been at the center of numerous cancel culture storms.
aka Normal they will not have any of that.
It is probably time to get a new electorate.

Who were they hoping for? Prince Andrew?
“Does Time Magazine have a poll for the Person of the Year?”
Year of the shot dog!
Was this poll Freeped?
The problem with colonizing a bunch of s*** holes is that when colonialism ends and the s*** holes become part of the commonwealth then you have to let all the rabble in.
I get the impression that this was never about facts for J.K. Rowling so much as about females losing their relative privileges. Feminists start getting common sense only when the nonsense goes against them.
