It's hard not to notice that the billionaire bestselling author of the 21st century who defined children's literature for a whole generation etc. has been attacked more for writing a book than someone I've never heard of has been attacked for his tweets https://twitter.com/francesweetman/status/1306839001878466560 …

Rowling has been subjected to a hate campaign whilst WIley did face backlash for his comments compare the things said about him to what's been said about Wiley.

Wiley had the police come to his home, was dropped by his record label and had his music removed from Spotify, has been unanimously denounced by politicians, etc The reason more people are talking about Rowling is *nobody even tried to defend Wiley*

Who got
#IStandWithWiley trending on Twitter? Who paid for a "I
Wiley" billboard? Who had to take down their article about the "Wiley controversy" because of a threat from Wiley's lawyers? Which MP tweeted a personal apology to Wiley saying he has the right to free speech?2 replies 5 retweets 51 likes -

Oh and by the way the MP who tweeted an apology was Lloyd Russell-Moyle who apologised after he accused her of using her own experience of sexual assault as a justification of transphobia.https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/jun/28/labour-mp-lloyd-russell-moyle-apologises-to-jk-rowling-for-sexual-assault-remark …

Yup, and nobody apologized to Wiley, so, again, the idea that JKR has come under particularly harsh condemnation is, again, absurd

I mean his initial statement was factually true She did, in fact, use her assault as a justification for vilifying a whole group of people who had nothing to do with it That's a fact, we all saw it happen right in front of us

Okay, and do you see anybody like you hanging around on Twitter calling everyone who criticized Wiley an anti-Black racist No, not really Guess JKR does in fact have it better than Wiley, by a lot, and Weetman was wrong
