    I think we’d be hard pressed to find media to enjoy if we needed to make sure we agree on everything with the author…

    that cunt is a special case because, it’s not just a case of an author having shit views in their personal life or voting a certain way quietly.

    she’s an activist, whose sole purpose in life has become making life worse for a certain group of people. incredibly vile and full of hate, and very vocal about it. using her platform consistently in the worst possible way.

    also she’s a bad writer.

      There’s a world of nuance between having to agree on everything and platforming loud bigots

      The legacy JK would have enjoyed if she just kept her fucking mouth shut and hired someone to clean the damn mold in her house.

        all bigotry requires some obstruction of mental faculties but I’ve never seen anything like transphobia. true mental illness, people seem to be especially losing their mind over this particular kind of hate for some reason.

        people with otherwise great privilege, wealth and power just forget about living their lives and dedicate immense energy if not their entire existence to this. eventually paranoid schizophrenia sets in and they find themselves transvestigating people. wild drug.

      She’s exactly what you’d expect from a 2nd wave radfem. It’s why so many of her ideological peers are also 2nd wave radfems. I’d bet if asked she’d tell you about how big an influence someone like Mary Daly was on her views on sex and feminism - Mary Daly was a 2nd wave radfem who likened trans people to Frankenstein’s monster and whose teaching career ended because of Title IX complaints related to her refusing to teach male students.

      also she’s a bad writer.

      She’s decent at storytelling but painfully awful at world building and thinking through how existing threads from previous stories might interact with the one she wants to tell this time. Her weaknesses wouldn’t shine through as much if she were writing individual, disconnected stories instead of multi-part series in a shared universe.

        eh, there’s more to her writing that’s bad. she has a lot of plot points that go nowehere, seems to set a lot of stuff up with no payoff.

        also she uses adverbs a lot. that “he asked calmly” meme is an example. it’s generally not advised in writing to rely on them too much, and she uses like double the amount of adverbs a good writer would use.

        and of course her attempts at tying loose ends always makes them worse.

        and she pretty vile. you can see it in her descriptions.

        oh and she’s awful at naming things and people.

      Just wanted to add that I don’t even agree on everything with MYSELF.

      You should look up Bloodywood.

      In July of the same year, Bloodywood partnered with online counselling site HopeTherapy and released the song “Jee Veerey”, dedicated to fighting depression and mental illness.[14][15] On 15 January 2019, the band released “Endurant”, a song dealing with the topic of bullying.[4]

      Along with the messages included in their songs, the band aims to support various social/charity causes. With the release of the video for their song “Jee Veerey”, they gave away pre-paid online counselling sessions.

      Upon returning to India from their 2019 European tour, Bloodywood donated the earnings to Posh Foundation, a local NGO that cares for homeless animals, for the purchase of a new ambulance.[22]
