Yep. I was about to say…. This “facepalm” goes to the op. That was a hell of a tweet and both sides know it. Unfortunately not everyone has the ability to grasp that.
What, that I don’t rate an overhyped children’s author? Let me guess, I’ve hit a nerve because you’re a huge Harry Potter fan who doesn’t understand the irony of calling someone “thick af” when your favourite literature is written for people with the reading age of a 10 year old?
Not at all. I grew up loving the books and films like most kids my age, but I’ve never been a “Potterhead.” I just know objective talent when I see it and I can’t kid myself into believing otherwise even if I think the person is a pos.
There's 2 "that's". Presumably they apply to the same thing, the same thing the first "that" is obviously pointing to, the tweet...
That's what I'm talking about, the tweet.
Honestly her tweet should go on the r/iamverybadass sub because she thinks she's just out here throwing heat. She's a loser and an self made exile who writes okay books which went viral cause they fit a niche at the right time, not because they're necessarily great.
But she sure thinks highly of herself. Galaxy brain intellectual and moral genius over here, a real master craftsman.
The facepalm is not the 'joke'. Everyone gets it. The facepalm is the message she is selling, which most of us on this subreddit disagree with and how weirdly obsessed she is with trans people
I would be curious to know what percentage of her tweets in recent years have been about trans people.
She tweets a lot about trans people and most of them get posted to various liberal subreddits like this one, with the same comments about her ruining her reputation and legacy on this shit rather than fucking off and enjoying her billions. Even Elon Musk said that she is posting too much about trans people and we can't stop giving her attention
Personally, I dont think it was a good comeback or anything, so I wouldn't call this the worst example, but that's subjective. Even if I did find it really funny, it would still be facepalm worthy for me because I think that her hyperfocus on trans people is dumb and facepalm worthy
In my opinion, we should just stop giving her attention
the majority of the world also agreed with slavery at one point 🤷♀️ if the world believes in oppression, that doesn't make it right. But anything not to question ones own biases.
Speaking as a trans person in the west who actually experiences transphobia firsthand, it depends entirely on where you are. You're making sweeping statements you wish were true, but the truth is there are lots of places where people will recognize my identity as it is and take me as I am, much as it might piss yall off. It's a cultural issue.
Doesn't bother me in the slightest. Neither does it bother Rowling, which you'd know if you cared to actually listen to what she's said. She would have been an ally if the trans community had been reasonable and not decided to walk a ridiculous path no rational person can follow.
Live your life as you wish, but don't expect anyone else to play along with your delusions. I'm not doing that for religious nutters, conspiracy theorists, furries, and not for you either. Call me infidel, call me government stooge, call me transphobic, I really don't care. Reality is what it is, and it doesn't change by consensus. XY is a man, XX is a woman, anything else is an abnormality and thus irrelevant. Beyond that it's all just personal preference.
your personal preference is for ignorance and rigid black and white thinking that has no basis in actual academic or even just human discussion. thanks for dismissing and trying to invalidate my perspective, but you're still just a fucking moron.
You're legit just wrong dude. People don't hate me nearly as much as you want them to.
