Hey there, I’m a mod of c/traa and was recently called out for saying JK Rowling is transphobic and buying the Hogwarts game is a bad idea. I was told that the ‘actual trans people with sense’ are here and agree that playing the Hogwarts game is fine, and so is giving money to a transphobe billionaire. This ally of trans rights (and instance admin of a large server that isnt blahaj or hexbear) of course seems to vehemently disagree.
So, as a question, do you agree with giving money in any way to JK Rowling? Do you agree with supporting Harry Potter as a franchise? 🤓 I have a feeling I already know the answer to this, but I figure yall might find this whole thing amusing
I get that she’s a bigot, but what’s she said to make her a Nazi?
Other examples have been given, but bottom line she supports trans erasure just like the nazis. She finds herself in the company of nazis. She makes nazi arguments. It’s the “walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck” argument.
Put another way, if you knowingly sit down at a table with 10 Nazis, that table has 11 Nazis.
If you want to read the arguments a bunch of trans people from hexbear wrote, you can see them here. https://hexbear.net/post/1527796
Cromalin broke it down pretty extensively.
Having now looked at that discussion, I’ve instance banned the person that triggered this question and we will be defederating from programming.dev
