So is all of this hate stemmed from those two tweets?

Honestly to me it just sounds like the media and cancel culture over reacting, as per.

Yeah pretty much, fortunately she's pretty uncancellable

If you read it you'd know that she composed an essay on her thoughts and also has put problematic trans stereotypes in her writing. Also it doesn't matter how many tweets there are if there is even one that's problematic.

When? If you're referring to the latest book, the part where a non-trans dude wore a wig and women's coat for like five seconds in order to attack someone? If you think that relates to transwomen, it kind of reflects more on you than JK

Which tweet/s did you perceive as ... "problematic" (lol) ?

Wasn’t there a movie a few years ago, called Split iirc that had a man with a personality disorder who would ‘dress as a woman’ occasionally and killed ppl?

Did people want that cancelled? Or is it just J.K that deserves to be cancelled?

It’s just JK Rowling! What she said wasn’t even offensive. She was just pro women’s rights and people seem to feel insulted.

Great film but tbf I don't think any of his female personas were killers... the main "murderous" one was definitely male.

Sorry to be bringing this up again but I've just finished reading it and there is zero trans stereotypes in that book, none of the characters in it are trans for a start. I didn't want to properly comment on it until I'd read the whole thing but

I'll spoiler this even though it's not really that spoilerish -

Spoiler:

the one male character who wore a womens coat and wig wasn't trans and he wasn't a cross dresser, he just literally put a victims coat on to look vaguely like a woman in the dark to grab another victim. It's not an out there idea to think that a woman alone at night would be less afraid of another woman coming towards her than a man. Anyone who's claimed that her book was in anyway trans-phobic clearly has not read it

He didn’t just wear them as disguises. He wore women’s clothing for pleasure in private that he stole off family members and also wore it to ‘imitate’ a female pop star in public, and the reason given for it was that he wanted to live out a fantasy

I've not read the Book in fairness, but that description doesn't sound too far off Movies like Psycho and Split minus a couple of differences.

I was thinking the exact same thing , sounds like a Norman bates character. However I haven't read it .

He's not even that extreme. Most people complaining about it haven't even read the book, he's not even in the book a whole lot and he doesn't really dress up as women as such
