To all my followers, I have a bit of a story to tell you about something that happened earlier tonight. I was dragged into a long winded discussion about a post outlining all the reasons that JK Rowling should kill herself. Supposed went on at length about how she's racist homophobic transphobic and a whole slew of other nasty accusations. In summation the post said JK Rowling needs to kill herself.
Over the past several years I have done my research I have read every article on both sides of the discussion about this issue. My opinion is thus: I believe that everyone is allowed to have and form their own opinions about everything that goes on in this world. From religion to politics to pop culture their individual taste in music/movies/games/what have you. What is NOT park however is to wish death on someone for these opinions and beliefs. It's one thing to disagree and hate a person for their opinions, it's another to wish death on them for it.
Yes JK Rowling's opinion of the Trans community is vile, repugnant and disgusting. Yes she is horrifically misinformed and obstinately transphobic and racist against certain minorities. That much I agree with. What I disagree with are the use of death threats, cries of violence and destruction and other uncivilized nastiness to befall her.
To say that someone needs to die for their opinions makes you no better then Hitler for his hatred of the Jews, or Trump for his hatred of Muslims.
Edit 12/30: To those telling me in my dm's to shoot myself in the head/slit my throat/jump off a bridge/overpass, go stand in a highway/etc. You're not helping your case, it just proves my point. As horrible as JK Rowling's bullshit is, telling me to kill myself just for airing y'all's toxicity towards her is worse...I was on your side till I started receiving death threats for this. Y'all are psycho
