Under Her Bows

The only reason I don't follow or reblog much is that I don't need/want Rowling/HP on my dash, even being torn down.

Nah its totally understandable to not want constant reminders of Jkr's existence.

I just read her books religiously/ autistically as a kid and am using this as a way to deconstruct it, as a project in learning media literacy and to an archive for people who want to learn more since I somehow managed to snag this user.

Plus its just a fun side project. Ive been told jkr lives in my head rent free and its more like:

it's a tendency i think people mostly associate with the right but frankly i see it a lot in progressive spaces? if you point out to someone that a fact they're using to back up their argument isn't true or that or that the argument they're using to back up their position doesn't hold any water they'll react as if you attacked their position rather than their argument.

Turns out it was a follow-up to that "if you believe free speech is for you..." Tweet.

This tiktoker, and hundreds of people in her comments are foaming at the mouth insisting that Rowling was quoting Hitler out of reverence, and that it's proof she's a devout Nazi that she could quote him "so quickly", and that quoting Mein Kampf is proof she's a Nazi, very basic "explanation is endorsement" vibes that we're dealing with lately.

HOPEFULLY obviously, this tweet is not Rowling endorsing Hitler, or Nazism, or suggesting that Hitler was right about things all the time, but in fact a very old fascist practice of painting their opponents as the true fascists for being violent in socially unacceptable/non-hegimonic ways.

You have to bend over backwards, ignoring all context and literally what's said, to make this tweet into a moral panic about Rowling quoting Mein Kampf at all, but she also insists that reading Mein Kampf at all is proof that someone is at least a Nazi sympathizer, if not a full blown Nazi, which I find incredibly disturbing.

It's pretty fair to assume she's a nazi whos read Mein Kampf. Its what the evidence supports. Look at her beliefs, who she spends her time with, how trans conspiracies heavily mirror antisemitic ones, how she depicts goblins (and the depiction in hogwarts legacy is literally made by a gamer gate guy that's antisemitic as all fuck)

The issue I have with the line of reasoning "you quoted Mein Kampf?? You're a Nazi." Is that it's very easy to apply to anyone criticizing Nazism (as she is ostensibly doing here). She was drawing a parallel between leftists who use (justifiably) anti-state or violent rhetoric, and Hitler, and quoting Hitler to support that claim. That, in and of itself does not make her a Nazi, or fascist.

Hi, I’m a young queer trans guy who’s about to start HRT for the first time ever. I am attempting to save up money for medications, appointments, blood work, etc but with my current job it’s very difficult. I’m also trying to save up for college at the same time, so I’m in a tight spot financially. My current goal is $1000. I would like to reach or get as close to this goal as possible. This would help me start to cover the costs of hrt. If you have the ability to donate, even if it’s just a little, it is so greatly appreciated. If you cannot donate which I understand since we’re all struggling with our own things, please share and reblog this post.
