Just look at when you mention Right Wing terrorism is the vicinity of a right wing person and their first instinct is to bleat on about the left rather than denounce right wing terrorism because they see 'right wing' and automatically feel defensive.
It doesn't matter to the left if you present yourself as a liberal if you have views that are rooted in bigotry, you will be held accountable for those views. Standards like that apply to everyone, not just the 'other side' unlike the right that allows right wingers to get away with whatever as long as they are right leaning.

And that to me is exactly why I think putting people in boxes like that is bad. Why should JK Rowling be accountable to anyone for her own views?
