I remember this - she went onto forums where people would post their theories for what would happen in the next book, and then she'd post actual spoilers with no context and people were obviously like "where are you getting this from? this isn't based in anything"

Me reading that Franz Kafka had a *lot* of sex with women because he adored femininity but found the act physically uncomfortable and considered himself extremely unattractive despite being conventionally good looking:

And clearly the story's been presented in a way to make it look like "Ahaha, those foolish fans didn't realise they were talking to their queen and looked quite the jackanapes", but really Rowling was just being weird and people reacted accordingly.

It's definitely funny but like, it's even funnier that she did it completely sincerely and not with the intention to poke her fanbase with a stick, and now she's complaining years later about what bullies they all were

If anyone has a problem with this; people, academics especially, speculate on the nature of historical figures' personal lives all the time, including their sexuality. So why is their gender identity, or viewing aspects of their lives or work through a trans lens, an issue?

People talk about how you should separate the art from the artist, but art doesn't exist in a vacuum - it's informed by the artist's worldview and you can tell a lot about the artist from it.
There's several moments in HP that demonstrate just how mean-spirited Rowling can be.

It's wild as hell that she wrote a story about young people fighting a racist, fascist movement that the government had allowed to grow and thrive and yet at the end there's no change, they were just there to defend the status quo.

I've known some authors to announce themselves in the forums and do a "here's two fake spoilers and one real one" thing as a bit of fun, but the way she went about it and complained about the reaction to it years later, it just seems like she wanted to be told how great she was.

It speaks to how great the show is that it can tackle such dense political subjects and the dread of being a victim to the prison-industrial complex, and with equal brevity, captures the claustrophobia of parental abuse too.

"I don't want to separate"
It's not a mutual thing. If someone wants to leave the relationship, they don't need your permission, they don't need to go to couple's counselling with you or give them a second chance, your approval is not necessary.

I just don't understand the thinking behind doing it over and over again when it's clear that everyone's pissed off about it.

Vader's power comes from his self-hatred so seeing Obi-Wan and Ahsoka's reaction to what he'd become just reinforced that, same with Luke's initial reaction.
Must have hit like a ton of bricks when Luke told him he still saw the good in him.

It's kinda funny that Persona 4 is the most homophobic and transphobic game in the Persona series, because it's also the most queer - there are at least three characters in your party who are some shade of queer until they go "sike!!!" at the end.

No 15 year old should be rostered on for an 8 hour shift whether it's during a weekday or a weekend or a public holiday.
The people pushing for more and more child labor say kids and parents always have a choice. The truth isn't that simple, at all.
ALT Hi, so Iβm 15 and have a part time job. My boss scheduled me on a Friday for an 8 hour shift during the day. I asked her if I could work then because of school and she said itβs a PA day or something and itβs fine. She asked for my division and said that it was fine. I told my mom and she sent a photo of my schools calendar which shows that I do have school that day, so I messaged my boss saying that I had school and sent a screenshot of the calendar. She then responded my telling me to find a cover or trade then. My parents have been pissed about this and saying itβs not legal but Iβm not sure. The other staff are also in school and I donβt think could cover. I didnβt know where to post this to ask what to do? Sorry if this isnβt the right subreddit, I just donβt know what to do if I canβt get a cover.

Goblet of Fire was heavily edited, originally there was supposed to be another female character added to the main cast who was a foil for Hermione (her lines ended up going to Ron), I honestly believe originally Skeeter was intended to be a "man dressed as a woman".

I bet Posie Parker thought she was going to inspire a new generation of Aussie TERFs when she came here.
Instead she spent the whole tour acting like a pro-wrestling villain; hanging out with Nazis, threatening to sue and yelling "THIS IS THE WORST PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN".

I love it tbh. Like, they wanted to have the show focus on Harley and Ivy embracing their new relationship rather than the Joker being a looming threat in the background, so they gave him this goofy stepdad arc where the twist is that he actually is just an actual good dude now.

There's a lot of BDSM which is explicitly positive; it involves taking care of each other, or praising each other. Even when it's not, a lot of the reason people like it is because it makes them feel safe, protected, cared for or respected.

Like, it's fine being a stay-at-home partner as long as that's what you want and you're not in a toxic, unequal relationship, it's just this current trend of tradcath nonsense trying to convince people that strict 1800s gender roles are the key to true happiness.
