Naturally a person who's not anti-Semitic would reproduce anti-Semitic propaganda word for word, that makes a lot of sense.https://twitter.com/zrizzletheman/status/1264802509417263106?s=20 …

harry cock roach hope account 🙏 @zrizzlethemanReplying to @benjanun_sintent matters when talking about the personal moral righteousness of an individual. "were the goblins anti-Semitic" and "is jk Rowling an anti Semite" are two separate questions. intent doesn't matter for the first, it matters for the second2 replies 0 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -
Rowling can do what she wants. If she recognizes that she's been a bigoted worm and wants to correct it, she can absolutely redo her shitty children's books and issue a new edition--writers less famous/successful have been able to do so. She hasn't. Why? Because she doesn't care.

I'm not kidding. Michael Moorcock did it. There's 0 reason Rowling can't. She can get her lawyers to instantly yank her book rights from Bloomsbury if she likes. She doesn't because, as I've kept saying, she doesn't care and her bigotry has increased rather than mellowed out.

In Moorcock's case, he issued a new edition with a significant change in a rape scene. This was done way before books were digitized too, so Rowling has no excuses.

There's also the removal of the "if it was rape, it was good rape" line, and updating of the speaker's age in The Vagina Monologues

That's a play, so it's not quite the same thing I mean it's been available in book form at bookstores but I don't know that that version has kept coming out in new editions

The whole appeal of a stage play is it's ephemeral, you can keep on changing it with each new performance Like it's not just that change, The Vagina Monologues has been through a ton of different editions to try to keep up with the times, including adding a trans man in the last

I'm pretty sure Rowling wouldn't change it if it was a play, though.

The American gangster goblin character she wrote into Fantastic Beasts is... not great
