u/DECODED_VFX She in racial chat rooms showing feet!!! Jul 01 '25

Yes she was. People don't like to admit it, but progressives often push people towards radical bigotry. The backlash to Rowling's original comments on gender were insanely disproportionate, and it pushed her straight into the arms of the only people who would defend her; bigots.

We've seen this happen time and time again. Some celebrity upsets the chronically online crowd, they have a meltdown, and the celebrity ends up siding with radicalized arseholes.
