"speaking out against anti-Semitism" in this context means calling anyone who criticises Israel anti Semitic while desperately trying to brush the greedy blood drinking hook nosed goblin bankers that have a star of David on the floor under a massive rug

"Left-wing journalist apologises"
Stop doing this. Stop validating the right-wings bullshit. They are counting on you giving them the benefit of the doubt. They are not arguing in good faith so don't play civil with them. Never apologise for being correct.
the only reason she apologised was because JK Rowling threatened to sue her because the UK is a fucked up country where any
1984 wrongspeak
can get you taken to court and bled dry from legal fees under our fucked up libel laws
yeah, as much as jk rowling goes on about how free speech needs to be utterly protected, she's constantly threatening to sue people who criticise her to shut them up, basically lays bare how all she wants """free speech""" for is to post increasongly fascistic rants on her twitter without criticism
Fascists are always hypocritical when it comes to freeze peach
In the authoritarian land of Britain, you can be hateful, but when someone calls you out, they can be silenced by threatening them with kangaroo trials. They even force you to apologize at the point of cancelling you and your career.
spoiler
Sorry for my poor attempt of a Park Yeonmi style comment.
Always double down.
"Yeah, you're not a holocaust denier, you're a holocaust supporter. One more word and I'm downgrading you to holocaust perpetrator."
Has anyone seen a picture of JK Rowling in the same room with Eva Braun?
I'm starting to get really suspicious.
i mean it's the UK. if she didn't apologize they could have fined her for damages plus rowling's court fees.
I'm unfamiliar with the UK, is saying something that's technically and colloquially accurate, and JKR's exact tweets being available to scrutinize, not a valid rebuttal of JKR's (libel/defmation/etc) claims?
it would be, and the journalist could plausibly win but only after an incredibly drawn out and expensive legal fight that would bleed most people dry long before it was over
Reminder that Johnny Depp lost his case against Amber Heard in England where he thought it'd be easier. You can openly publish thst Johnny Depp is a wife beater in england, the courts said so.
The journalist was forced to apologize under threat of legal sanction. Libel/defamation laws in the UK are absolutely unhinged, and heavily favor the "right" of rich people to not have mean things said about them by anyone. JKR loves using legal threats to silence all criticism of her. She sues people for making fun of her all the time.
Also unrelated but the Spy x Family movie was great
Didn't she write a book where the Good Team was going to stop the Bad Team from preventing the muggles from commiting WW2/the Holocaust?
Screenplay - that's the meta plot of the Fantastic Beast movies.
The promotional stuff looks like someone fed antisemitic trope into AI. Wild that anyone would approve of that
it would be funny if she got trapped in her castle searching for a cask of amontillado
"For the love of God, Montressor!"
"Yes, TERFanado, for the love of God."
Ok, i never seen any HP movies before so it it my first time seeing how the goblins looked there. And what the actual fuck? Those do not even resemble any goblins ever, those are short people with long noses. Literal nazi antisemic carricatures.
unfortunately, im in the southern half of this fucked up nation smh
plz don't dox her by posting the wikipedia article of the castle she lives in
On an unrelated note heres some of the official Harry Potter promotional material:
those are real? Jesus Christ
yeah, they were adverts for the Harry Potter Experience exhibition expanding to include a whole section about gringotts bank, here's the article i got them from: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/film-tv/news/harry-potter-studio-tour-to-expand-to-include-gringotts-wizarding-bank/37760986.html
Jesus, for someone who hates antisemitism, she sure loves to defend holocaust denial and make fucking antisemitic depictions. And this is what the neoliberal media likes in Britain?! She's also a transphobic KKKunt as well as a KKKumSSKKKin. God, she's like fucking ISSn'trael like how she acts bigoted, and when called out, she shouts sexist or KKKancel KKKulture, but will happily use those against her adversaries. She actually needs the Communist treatment for TERFs and actual antisemites.
Wasn't her 'speaking out against anti-Semitism' just her being angry about Corbyn wanting to raise her taxes?
Yeah, but he was such an antisemite for checks notes considering Palestinians humans?
TERF island must be sunk.
It's like someone did a photorealistic rendering of "the happy merchant" and Rowling just went with it. Jesus fucking Christ.
Didn't she write some shitty book after Harry Potter where the plot is the good guys have to keep the villain from preventing the holocaust?
wait she actually uses the star of david in hp?
i never paid that much attention to that lib shit so i must have missed it
IIRC it's on the floor of the goblin bank in one of the movies. It was already at the physical location and she probably wasn't involved with choosing it.
