      As someone who really benefited from people thinking she somehow invented the concept of "wizard school", who almost certainly did in fact crib ideas from previous "wizard school" books, and yet resolutely pretended on interviews that she'd only ever read Shakespeare and Austen

      Pfffft what? She seriously did that? That's like... 16 year old not wanting to admit they cribbed ideas for their fanfics from popular TV shows level of pathetic omg. Like... you heard of 'The Worst Witch' before JK, you aren't fooling anyone.

      As I recall the diplomatic way Le Guin responded was "I don't think her books are very similar to mine at all and I don't need the help But it is a fact I wrote the first modern wizard school stories and not her"

      "And I don't think she owes me anything but I wish she'd lift up other working writers in her own field more often" (It is very hard to find JKR publicly praising or naming as an influence another author who isn't dead)

      Rowling’s disinterest in lifting up other voices is a long-running critique. Imagine how much cooler Pottermore, with all those racist backstories of the other “ethnic” wizard schools, could have been if she’d Rick Riordan’d it and hired #ownvoices authors to tell those stories

      I've never once heard someone complain that a male public figure doesn't spend enough time "lifting up other voices".

      No seriously, I and many others have noticed a pattern in liberal activism where women's labor and time is seen as a public resource that must be given up to everyone's needs and feelings but her own. Yet men can do the bare minimum and be praised. This needs fixing.

      Okay well maybe start this call for reform somewhere other than the literal very top of the ladder with the literal wealthiest woman in the UK

      Just as an example, Emma Watson and Jameela Jamil, neither of whom I think are perfect, catch heat on the Internet constantly, for exactly the reason you mentioned

      The fact that they're known for activism means they get people constantly judging them and calling their work phony, demanding why they're amplifying this cause but not another one, prying into their personal lives to judge whether they're hypocrites, etc

          I don't see TERFs defending them from this behavior I see TERFs DOING this I see TERFs being the MAIN people who do this Because as cis "handmaidens" who stand up for trans rights they are completely fair game

          All the shitty tropes you're supposedly talking about "Hey Emma, why are you talking about this and not FGM in Somalia" "Hey Jameela, aren't you just doing this to promote your new show" "Hey you two, what do you know about sexual violence? Have you experienced it? Huh? Huh?"
