    I do not know all the ins and outs, I do know she also opposed Scotland going for Independence which I think was a big mistake for them not to do. She obviously does not have the best opinions or analysis. Still though I think the reaction to her has been outsized to the amount of influence she would have had if not for being constantly attacked.

    These hedge fund douchebags quietly fund this stuff and cause way more damage than she does without mention for instance.

    There are no shortage of villains, and she is rather small potatoes. Also though it throws people into the arms of the far right over attacking a popular persona. She would not be meeting with Far Right figures or sponsoring legislation if not for an outsized vicious attack against her shitty opinions.

      I agree that she is basically a distraction from the real issue. How come there are lawmakers that gives the slightest shit about her opinion? There is the issue.

      “It’s their fault that I hate them and actively fund legislation to make their existence harder and more dangerous. THEIR fault!”

      Oh cmon you’re not even trying, Hector.

        One of my points was that she would not be so hard on the issue if she wasn’t attacked so hard on the issue, outside the text for what she said. She originally said she didn’t think trans women were women. While a shitty thing to say it is hardly deserving of the tidal wave of vitriol she received, obviously that’s going to throw any person into the arms of those that would agree with them. I do not know all the ins and outs I do not follow entertainment news but she was over attacked while those actually pushing the anti-trans stuff went by unattacked. Throwing her into the arms of those that actually pushed the stuff to defend her.

      Except worse because unlike the person in the comic, JKR actually has a lot of capital and influence.

      There are no shortage of villains, and she is rather small potatoes.

      Fuck and deride them all, don’t be a slouch, don’t turn a blind eye.

        But do you give outsized vitriol to her and not to Charlie Kirk? She is on our side for a lot of things so will defend herself and go on the defensive, Charlie Kirk will just counter-attack.

        The proportion of attack is far off because the nature of the defense each side does. Not the nature of damage each side does.
