Yeah see I'm not super directly invested in the idea of "proving" JKR's racism by holding people's hands through twee little tours of exoticizing descriptions in her books and educating people about antisemitic tropes when 2020 is demonstrably the most racist year of her lifehttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1306833939135430665 …

Distracting considerably from the BLM movement and the worldwide protests to call attention to your petty, unjustified bigotries *is RACIST* If you're going to come to me with some JAQing-off argument that "okay, how is that *really* racist", you're too stupid for my tweets

The thing that concerns me about addressing all the content in her books that is extremely distasteful is that we could walk through it and people might be like "well, how does that make her different from Rainbow Rowell/Terry Goodkind/Piers Anthony et al?" and that's misleading

Again, the only institution that is properly analogous to JKR's fandom, business enterprise and TERF following is Scientology As a billionaire, and one very intent on wielding political power and cultural cachet, JKR can't be looked at through the lens of being JUST an author

Well, I mean, she doesn't have her own personal navy where dissidents and apostates get tortured on hidden prison ships
