    rowling is a transphobe, but gaiman is like weinstein a sex pest. she played it carefully for decades before coming out, when she had built a large amount of fans and support, much like lewis CK, the cancelling dint end his career so to speak, he moved all online before it got worst.

    also transphobia has massive support from right wingers.

      “Rowling is a transphobe AND Gaiman is like a Weinstein sex pest” Fixed it for you.

      She’s actively pushing hard, with a large platform, against trans people and her product is not some necessary thing but rather just a book series. It is so easy to just drop her, especially if you’re now an adult/young adult with a higher reading level and can take in better content from better people.

      People need to drop her, she’s a horrid lady with incredibly mid-to-decent books and there is no excuse for hanging onto her.

        ok.

        no need to play villain Olympics, they are both horrid in different ways.

        but I think the differences is that more people will be grossed out by rapy acts, than being a bigot, because there are more bigots than rapists in the public

          Except I’m the one saying “and”. They both suck, and it doesn’t matter who sucks worse since they’ve both crossed the threshold and people shouldn’t be giving either of them money. Where on earth did you get anything else from out of my comment?

      Rightwingers don’t like Rowling because she still considers herself a feminist and uses feminism as the basis of her transphobia.
