      I don’t believe for a second that she wasn’t aware. The way people think they can plead ignorance, sit on the fence, and get their bag with no consequences. Pathetic

      I have to figure out how to live with the bigot? The bigot has to figure out how to live with *me*.

      This response is bullshit.

      Like those celebrities that took a paycheque from appearing at some problematic dictators birthday and then claiming they “didn’t know!” is a tired excuse. A quick google search exists, whether it’s from you or your management/agent. They just saw the $$$$ signs and hoped no one would notice.

      Why? JKR has no intention of living peacefully with trans people. She wants to erase them from existence

    11. manhattansinks on

      you have to be living in the middle of the forest with no internet access to not know that jkr has been on a transphobia marathon for the last decade.

      maybe tell her that we should all “live together”

      Thinking a marginalized group of people shouldn’t exist isn’t really negotiable but go off I guess

      She doesn’t know about it but has a bullshit ‘both-sides’ answer prepped? Sure. How was she contacted about this job? Because any manager or agent worth a damn would have told her about the controversy around Rowling, and that’s if you’re generous enough to assume she didn’t already know (I’m not).

      I say this every time but whenever you get a tone of surprise like this: you realize these people clearly know ZERO trans/nonbinary or frankly even LGBT folks. They just exist in a goddamn bubble and it’s pathetic.

      Also that statement is trash lmao

      (also it’s extremely likely she’s full of shit but I still argue it means she has no close nonbinary/trans people in her life who’d hold her fuckin’ accountable)

      Keira:

      *”ChatGPT; What should I say in response to this question without alienating my fans, but also avoiding any rift with JK Rowling and her supporters? I want to sound like I’m receptive but also not completely aware.”*

      i HoPe THaT wE cAn AlL fINd rESpeCT. So passive, what a weasel. She hopes we all can do that. Not that she should pass up a paycheck for it. Or disagree with anybody. We just have to figure out how to live together with people who want some women dead. Nothing else to be done!

      Interestingly, the headlines for this that I saw imply she’s apologizing for taking the job. But she’s apologizing for (lying about, let’s be real) not knowing about the boycott. Piss poor work.

      Yeah, tell JK Rowling that and then get back to me. Ffs, trans ppl are just trying to live their lives and they have multi-billionaire, mold-infested TERFs screaming about them on Twitter ever five seconds.

      “We’ve all got very different opinions.” And some opinions are bad; some are evil. Opinions are not sacred.

      Stupidest deflection I’ve seen in a minute.

    27. evilhagludgate on

      Even if she didn’t know, her team should have. It’s not like what JK has been doing and saying has been any kind of secret, she won’t shut up about it.
