JK Rowling used her fortune to make Amnesty International back down on one of their reports. She’s a fucking awful being and we should now pirate HBO too

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How dare you imply that we're not already pirating HBO! 🏴‍☠️

more than that shes funding various Terf related movement, and i belive some right wing ones as well.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

TERFs are right wing by definition. If you treat people like things you're right wing as fuck.

[–] Simon_Shitewood@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're thinking of transphobes, terfs have mostly disappeared and Rowling of all people has certainly never had a radical bone in her body. She and her pet projects are just transphobic liberal feminists.

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, she dressed it up in feminist language at first but she hasn't bothered with that for awhile.
