Furthermore, as scummy as Boyne using lawfare against Comerford was, it was also really really transparently following in JKR's footsteps Comerford had antagonized Boyne on Twitter for months, and then all of a sudden after JKR threatens Spurling, Boyne pops a SLAPP as well

Like yeah, JK Rowling, the bestselling living author in the English language and the most influential woman in Britain etc etc, started with the libel lawsuits and Boyne realized "Oh we're doing this now, people can get away with it" I am giving Rowling credit for being a leader

Also, Rowling seems worse, I think, independently of their relative fame. Boyne's done two things I'm aware of. First, he wrote that book, which from what I've heard sounds more like cis nonsense that fell backwards into transphobia than some cogent political message.

And, second, he wrote that nonsense article about how no one should call him cis cause he's a big baby about it. Pretty obviously transphobic, and I call him transphobic over it, but it's again not clearly some political movement.
