I really love how Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie….is just “This Writer”…..they wouldn’t even name her??? How disrespectful can you be???
People really do just be throwing around the world anti-Semitism to demonise The Hogwarts Legacy game. It's so clear that they don't give a fuck about Jewish people, because if they did they would challenge their own biases.
If you see a goblins, (which was designed by the movie team and not JKR btw), which are responsible for a bank and immediately think Jew, that's you being anti semitic. You are the one applying Jewish stereotypes to these mythical characters. These characters are not represented poorly either. The goblins are good at their jobs and they are not shown negatively.
Nevermind the allegory for racial purity running throughout the whole Harry Potter series through the death eaters and Voldemort. Who is the villain and never portrayed in a sympathetic light. No, her main theme and criticism of that view doesn't matter.
The gendies desperately claw at the pages of her books looking for anything they can grab onto to make her look worse. They know that their claims of transphobia wouldn't hold up if anyone actually bothered to look into them properly. So they need something that is established to demonise her further.
She made it unrebloggable 😂
The way male game developers always make female characters walk is ridiculous. They'll be like "look at the graphics and light and ambiance we've worked so hard to make it look realistic" and then the female character starts walking in the most absurd way swaying her hips like she's on a strip club's podium with her back arched. And in the comments women have to explain that it's not how women walk, sir, please stop. Even in cutesy innocent games it comes up. Embarrassing.

ok heres my hot take: women can make whatever fictional content they want i trust them to still be normal irl. men are mentally fragile, easily influenced and should not be allowed to read

when we say trans women are male and trans men are female, we are not saying they deserve to be discriminated against or that their dysphoria doesn’t matter. we are saying biology exists and matters in certain contexts.
when we say we won’t date trans women because we’re lesbians, we are not saying trans women don’t deserve to have happy, fulfilling relationships. we are saying that we are not romantically or sexually attracted to them and so that neither of us would have a happy, fulfilling relationship if we dated.
when we say we are gender critical, we are not saying everyone should be gender-conforming. we are saying the opposite, that men and women should be free to dress and act however they like instead of being forced into certain gender roles based on their sex.
when we say female-only safe spaces are important, we are not saying trans-only or mixed safe spaces aren’t also important. we are saying that based on our biology, women have certain shared experiences and face specific oppression that we deserve to be able to discuss among ourselves.
when we say one thing and you hear another, that isn’t our fault. when you’re ready to listen to what we actually believe or to have a genuine discussion, we’ll still be here.
Not trying to go on a rant (and yet already ranting) but I’m sick of people faking that “granddaughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” isn’t an AWESOME feminist catchphrase, and branding it as white feminism because “Karen your granny is a christian conservative” like yesss it’s true my granny is a christian conservative but she also secretly had her tubes tied in an illegal clinic because my grandpa was against birth control, and my great-grandma ran away from home at 15 because her parents were against interracial marriage, and my great-great-grandma fled her country because there were no job opportunities for poor women there, and my other grandma also fled her country because her boyfriend tried to force her to have an abortion and she wanted to have her baby, and my mom never married and chose to raise a child on her own, and I am a feminist butch lesbian, and this is what this quote is about, it’s not about your granny being pagan, it’s about valuing your matrilineal lineage of subversive women, even if their subversion was minimal, because they could have been killed or maimed any time by men for not conforming to gender roles even in the slightest way, after all, the witches who indeed were burned were more often than not also just regular, mostly christian conservative, women that somehow pissed off a man
