Because I'm petty, I'm going to gather you all around and tell you about that time JK Rowling was extremely wrong about something and, by being wrong about it, poisoned Google search results for it for years afterwards and generally made the world ignorant about it

Ray Bradbury warned us about this. Are we allowed to read Fahrenheit 451, or is there no room for that either, on your view? Is Bradbury guilty of being insufficiently woke by association? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451 …https://www.businessinsider.com/harpers-letter-proves-serious-free-speech-chomsky-rushdie-steinem-kasparov-2020-7 …

Wow. So legitimately critiquing Harry Potter novels = "NAZI BOOK BURNING!"? Really dude? That seems like an extreme way to shut down debate and discussion. You seem to be engaging in the very behavior you claim to be against. Maybe try nuance next time.

Never mind, of course, that the Nazis, just like JK superterf R*wling are, you know, also transphobes who only support cisnormative womanhood. And that the books they censored and burned were mostly books about trans people and other marginalized people.

A complete lack of critical thinking generally results in being the kind of person who decides that the people fighting the Nazis/ transphobes/ bigots/ authoritarians are bigots and authoritarians themselves.

Also IDK what your point is here. Other than doubling down on the idea that we can't criticize the writing of a billionaire white lady without "censoring" her. I guarantee you no one is oppressing rich white cis women you weirdo.

I'm with Max here, I find the Gender Identity Ideologues to be offering an authoritarian version of politics. Very rigid, telling people what to believe and claiming the authority to do so etc. Nonsensical mantras contributes to the general aesthetic too.

Nonsensical mantras like "Alohomora", you mean

Ah, twitter, where randos with terrible mustaches and anon sockpuppets can shart out whatever they think and think it's now canonical gospel to the philosophical canon.
