JK Rowling Backlash

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.

Sex offenders

Dipshits who print a call for executing civilians in the streets from a sitting senator without even fucking reading it
Monica Lewinsky gets to complain about cancel culture? Maybe don't fuck a married man next time and people will have more respect for you.

"fuck a married man", "suck the dick of the *most powerful man in the world* who is your direct boss and asked-told you to do it", absolutely the same thing.

(And that's why Monica Lewinsky gets to complain about cancel culture if she wants.)

Why are we pretending that some children's book author's opinion on an issue outside her area of expertise is in any way significant?

Cause said children's book was a lot of Millennials equivalent to Star Wars, meaning a lot of people have it in place of a personality or identity, so this is a major bombshell.

Imagine if LUCAS was talking like this.

Yeah, I'd be asking the same basic question then too. He has no special education or insight on the topic, thus his opinion carries no special significance.

By contrast, his opinions on the Nintendo PowerGlove are worth listening to, as that is his area of expertise.

My biggest problem with MeToo is how hard many are trying to convince me that adult women do not have agency. He didn't rape her, she chose to have sex with him.
