Why is it not allowed to talk about J.K. Rowlings Trans hate on this forums?

[Mendzia]

It's not an important topic to 99.5% of humanity.

No.
More like 99.999%.

Wait? Are people really hate buying this new HP Game in some weird attempt to show their support for trans hate? Wow. Just....... wow......

It is much worse.
Some people are coming to streamers to harrass/doxx/hate/threat them just for playing this game... you know... in the name of 'stop discrimination and hate' like here:

enemy of my enemy is my friend, something like that

Sure buddy, and who the fuck the trans community think they are to tell others what to do?

It's not the trans community. You're doing the same thing the poster you're quoting did.

It's a group within a group, which intentionally or not, aims to represent the entire group in the way they do.

[Krasuss]

Well i do not use twitter, but from what i have seen She said only truth...and i agree with Her and if that makes me a feminist i am fine with that. There should be way more threads defending Her tbh. Correct me if i am wrong, but She was not even working on the game. Everyone hating on the game and harassing streamers over playing it must be mentally ill or something.

[Algorath]

Can one of you boyc-.... themcotters (sorry) please tell me what she did that's so horrible against trans-rights?

All I have seen of her being "transphobic" was the tweet saying only girls can get their period. Is there more to it?

[Nathanyel]

JK Rowling supports restrictions that prevent men who transitioned into women from competing in women sports.

Funnily enough, sports is exactly what trans people actually want to talk about, too. But no, you heard somewhere that it's abused heavily, so your opinion is already set that people transition just to dominate in sports.

That's a rethorical question, right? Because the answer is: yes, much more.

Because people talk past each other on topics like this. The pro-Rowlings folks would say you are starting the conversation with a faulty premise. So you can't have a discussion where folks don't even agree on the premise of the question. You have to do better if you want to foster better conversation.

Why do you guys disallow an as important topic as that?

Because it tends to degenerate into unhinged semi-religious ideological rambling real quick.
And also it's really not interesting at all.

Read through the replies and you'll see why. Which is why this topic will be locked when one of the mods wakes up and sees all the reports for some of the replies. Hopefully they won't give you an infraction for asking this question. In the future though, if you have a meta question like this, your best bet is to send a message to the moderators and ask them.

Pretty much this. Although it will clean the forums up a little with the inevitable bans the mods will issue.

[Arlette]

It is about holding a viewpoint, because the same shit is said even about the average person.

JK Rowling supports restrictions that prevent men who transitioned into women from competing in women sports. Which is completely justifiable given the records being blown out and the injuries women have sustained while competing against trans athletes.

Oh just fuck off with this bullshit. She doesn't support a single goddamn fucking thing besides wanting the harassment and death of trans people.

This level of cringe ass fake ignorance died in 2016.

I'll take the infraction from the pathetic mods who want to pretend neutrality on this issue is possible and not "bigots vs normal people trying to live their lives."

Go fuck yourself, loser.

Eh, the issue is wider than these forums, so it will just bleed back in. Better to just can the discussion here and hope that aspect of the woke mass psychosis dies out on its own quick enough.

...I find it amazing how you could possibly classify yourself as "normal" in any way, especially juxtaposed next to these people you accuse of "bigotry".

JK Rowling doesn't harm queer people by holding a view point

True, she harms queer people by actively advocating against queer rights and endorsing and giving platforms to bigots.

[Twix]

Because no one cares

[Tyris Flare]

Isn't she a lifetime labor party supporter who has given millions to charities and holds social views to the left of 90% of the human race?

Sort of yes.
But do keep in mind that trying to put a binary right-left political distinction on the entirety of humanity is supremely ignorant and might just be close to as peak-American as the whole trans phenomenon hysteria is.

Some of her views might classified as American right, some as American left, as one might expect of a billionaire.
It's eclectic, from an American view.

"I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so."

How bigoted of her to say this!

The issue here has always been that people are reaching dramatically to twist her words into something they aren't. The issue, as I see it, with the trans community is demanding 100% unequivocal support on everything. Attempting to harass and cancel her off twitter for what amounts to a pretty mild statement just makes people less sympathetic overall.

The boycott surrounding the new game is similar in that.

[Very Tired]

I honestly don't get it. So she has a controversial take on the subject? The entire topic itself is controversial, filled with a ton of nuance and complications. The LGB side at least kept things simple.

Regardless, I'd say the whole issue only served to advertise the game more than it ever did to harm its profits.

[Morgaith]

The entire reaction to hogwarts is creating more "trans non-allies".

[BigToast]

Unfortunately free speech is the thing of the past because people can't handle their feelings getting hurt anymore. Instead of shrugging it off, not listening or walking away, people now actively attack the place and person who said something they didn't like. You know, like extremists are known to do.

Here is your answer OP. People like this think "free speech" means they can say whatever they want with no consequences. They are wrong.

This is a gaming forum. There are many other forums to discuss culture, politics and whatnot.
