  • Thanks for the specification. That said, what’s wrong with “some people”? It’s the second comment that jumps on that word as if it diminishes the argument. “Some” is purely a quantifier which I used because clearly not everyone is calling her like that, and this was - in fact - a niche news that a few articles spoke about.

    For me a German law about the Holocaust just is more important than what some people say. It’s just so very vague. It reminds me a bit off Trump when he spouts some utter bullshit “some people” have said to him. That of course doesn’t mean that I think you said it in such an intention.

    And no, the German law of course only applies to people in Germany. Now what would happen if Rowling would set foot in Germany would be interesting, but I don’t think even then much would happen. Nevertheless I think the German legal view on such speech IMHO is a good indication of it’s intention. After all Germany is one of the few countries who put in a serious effort in critically reflect on a very dark spot in their past. That’s something a lot of other countries could learn quite a bit.

    And again, I really don’t think your choice of words were wrong in any way, my comment aimed to further elaborate on the topic and not criticise. I’m sorry if it came over in a different way.




  • As mentioned, I do not have all the details. I have heard some of her ideas, but I don’t follow her that closely.

    Well then maybe, you should look a bit deeper in the topic before you propose that she’s the victim of a witch hunt? I mean it’s really not that hard, all the controversial shit is right there on her own twitter and can easily be found.

    It’s fair to feel like this, but she is just one person sharing her ideas. Nobody goes like: “JK is against trans people, so I am too”. At least they shouldn’t and at least we should expect most people don’t. Just let her have her opinions and leave it at that

    What? Of course people are constantly influenced by other people’s opinions. That’s how opinions form in the first place. And a world famous author with tons of followers on top of a shit ton of money to throw at groups actively advocating for legal restrictions on transsexual people obviously has a lot more power to influence people’s opinions and shitty laws than you or me in that regard. So no, she’s not just a person sharing her ideas, she’s an incredible influencual one sharing her hate in a time when the transsexual community is under active attack in several modern countries not only resulting in hurt feelings but actual people ending up dead!




  • Fuck that shit. She doesn’t make any such distinction in her hate tirades. It’s very easy to find many tweets and similar quotes of her speaking about transsexual people as a whole. So yeah, she very much has spoken about OP as well. And she’s a freaking author, she doesn’t get any excuses for not knowing how to write more specifically. She knows very well what she says and who it will affect when she generalises all transsexual people. And it for damn sure isn’t some imaginary group or predators willing to go through all the hassle of being trans to prey on women but the trans community as a whole.




  • It’s the only place in the world where the Jewish people are guaranteed protection by a government.

    They failed massively on this part on last September. Not only did they ignore several countries warning then but they actively moved soldiers from protecting the border to Gaza to the Westbank to help in their illegal settler campaign. And even after being engaged in massive battles in Gaza they KEEP fucking things up in the Westbank, ensuring that the people there will continue to hate Israel. And that’s by no means a new development but they have been doing so for decades.

    So yeah, they are doing a really shitty job at protecting their people.




  • Ehrlich gesagt weiss ich nicht wann ich zuletzt laute Verfechter des Gendern gehört habe. Konservative hingegen höre ich viel zu viel darüber reden. Ich bin in meinem ganzen Leben auch noch nie irgendwie gedrängt worden Genderneutrale Sprache zu verwenden.

    Unpopulärer Aktionismus mit zweifelhafter Wirkung, hätte man schon längst fallen lassen müssen.

    Verdammt viele soziale Ungerechtigkeiten in der Geschichte waren Anfangs extrem unpopulär und ein verdammt harter Kampf. Das alleine werte ich also ganz bestimmt nicht als Grund ein Thema fallen zu lassen. Ist eine gendergerechte Sprache jetzt das aller wichtigste Thema? Finde ich selber nicht, so schlimm wie viele Gegner das hingegen darstellen ist es ganz bestimmt auch nicht. Vor allem wenn diese Parteien sonst irgendwie genau kein wirklich wichtiges Thema ansprechen sondern sich immer nur auf auf so dumme Themen stürzen und deren Wähler das sogar noch glauben.
