      So you don't possess the ability to separate art from artist?
      That really must suck considering how messed up Hollywood, a lot of mainstream musicians/bands etc… I can't imagine it leaves you with too many options.

        bit of a simplistic sort of a summary there, binso

        for one thing this's about personal enrichment and the fact the author's so closely tied to the success of the work. further to that, it's about binding a multinational to the popularity of that work for promotion/marketing, (inextricably linked to the author and her ham fisted, half-assed advocacy)

        it's almost like krispy kreme don't know or don't understand (or just don't care) there is an individual who is actively fomenting hate and prejudice on a minority

        • Krispy Kreme don't care, no company "cares" the proof is in the pudding when it comes to pride month, businesses small and large feel the need to change their logos on social media put out the obligatory "we stand with X" type post but funnily enough they never seem to update their social media platforms across the full set of different accounts they have for different regions.
          A company isn't capable of caring as it's not a person it is an entity, and it shouldn't matter at the end of the day if someone needs validation so badly from a multinational business they have bigger issues to work through.

          Also when it comes to personal enrichment, I fail to see how in this case JK Rowlings personal views on something change the enrichment people get from books they would have read at least initially when they were children/young adults & there is nothing within the texts that align with the one aspect of who she is as person so people who can't separate art from artist are the ones forming any kind of weird link of "she said this on social media and I don't like it so now I can't have anything to do with Harry potter yet I still want to have something to do with Harry potter" thats a choice they are making and a link they are forming (that doesn't exist)

            @BinSimmons:

            A company isn't capable of caring as it's not a person

            a representative of the company made a determination in pursuit of an objective

            that person (or/and team) either does not understand the potential for negative blowback or they've assessed the likelihood of profit over their brand being associated with a controversy that is central to an inherently charged and unpredictable dynamic

            literature's kind of unique among the arts in so far as reflective of the position of the author goes. i despise ayn rand and have nothing but contempt for her political ideas even as i can acknowledge that fountainhead is a very good book. if i were promoting a product or business using a rand work, i'd be an idiot to disregard the cultural and political implications of ayn rand as a person and what she stood for

            as to enrichment, rowling's getting substantial royalties predicated on the success of the new series this promotion's aligned to

    • +5

      Nah pretty sure she's not scared of those sorts of people how defiantly she retains her opinions despite the epic screeching from a noisy minority.

      • +2

        Epic mountains of F you money will do that.

        • Or just intestinal fortitude and personal conviction.

          • @Captain Yobbo: bit naive to think that much money doesn't trump any other consideration y might be in a position to imagine

            • @0jay: Ordinarily celebrities eschew controversy & either remain silent or repeat the NPC lines about diversity etc. Sure, being insulated by having sufficient wealth helps but there's plenty of people who aren't rich and aren't scared to have a different opinion to The Current Thing. The difference is who is saying certain things. Because it's JK Rowling having an opinion on biology and not Joe Bloggs from Wangaratta people will take notice.

              • @Captain Yobbo: well side stepping any of the other prejudices here dressed up as common sense (npc lines as distinct from what, genius?) rowling's 'opinions' are broadcast with an undue volume, penetration and credibility.

                one of the peculiarities of the current moment is ordinary people perceive wealth as a signifier that demonstrates substance far beyond an ability to accumulate capital in excess of any kind of human scale utility.

                insulation is not the way to think about it. these folks're effected by the same phenomenon that gives ordinary folks the impression that wealthy people must have intelligence and insight beyond the average asshle. they believe their wealth signifies exceptional intelligence too, they believe they are deserving of the outsized influence their wealth affords them

                • @0jay: See this whole issue could be solved by accepting the fact different opinions will & do exist & that you are free to consume or ignore them at your leisure. No one compels you to read JKR's tweets…

                  • @Captain Yobbo: i’m not on twitter and i’ve zero interest in rowling’s views, right or wrong

                    i am, however, interested in the outsized influence cashed up asshles wi delusions of grandeur exercise in society broadly, regardless of national/cultural borders

                    • @0jay: I think that influence is hard to measure. Sure their message (usually sponsored) gets amplified because of who they are but I seriously doubt celebrities or influencers wield power beyond driving sales to whatever shitty product they're being paid to merch. The recent US election gave some insight into that…it didn't matter how many or how big the star power of those who shilled for the Democrats the outcome wasn't changed.

                      • @Captain Yobbo:

                        that influence is hard to measure

                        it’s easy to observe. we are talking about contentious issues about which the vast bulk of the public are ill equipped to assess or understand. you think celebrity endorsement of harris is somehow illustrative of the dynamics at issue then y really don’t have even a rudimentary grasp of what’s in play

              • @Captain Yobbo:

                Ordinarily celebrities eschew controversy

                Since when?

                Because it's JK Rowling having an opinion on biology

                Biology is a science, when you have an opinion on a science that differs from the mainstream scientific beliefs without having any actual expertise or education in the field, it's just called being wrong.

                Like many celebrities who have opinions outside their expertise, Rowling doesn't understand gender identity. The only difference is she's attacking a minority who already deal with enough hardship with her crap thrown on top.

                • +1

                  @freefall101: Gender identity isn't biology FYI. Dysmorphia is the domain of psychiatry, hence that and similar disorders are covered by the DSM.

                  • @Captain Yobbo: You're the one who's saying Rowling has an opinion on biology, not me. Where did I say gender identity is biology?

                    Good job sneaking in the incendiary language there too, but to quote the DSM, "gender non-conformity is not in itself a mental disorder".

                    • @freefall101:

                      Biology is a science

                      Your first paragraph infers JKR is wrong about biology because of a lack of relevant experience, and then segue to gender identity so it was a reasonable inference you were equating the two.

                      You're referring to something similar but different. Gender dysphoria (I misquoted as dysmorphia) is still recognised as a mental health condition, that hasn't changed. It's been recognised for a long time that phenomena like ordinary grief response & spiritual experiences shouldn't be pathologised, because they tend to be contextual, so it's quite unusual that this one specific condition - gender non-conformity - has an explicit statement as to what it isn't, under any circumstances. You have to wonder why, given medical guidelines in every other field tell you what a particular condition is, not what it isn't.

                      • @Captain Yobbo:

                        You have to wonder why, given medical guidelines in every other field

                        familiar with all the guidelines in all the fields you're alluding to here, cowbye?

                        i'm guessing not. have to wonder why a person without medical expertise's so invested in implying familiarity across medical 'fields' to invest themselves with undue credibility.

                        little bit of a snuff of rowling's playbook in there

                        • @0jay: Lots of big assumptions in there, 'cowbye'… you seem very much invested in being mad that contrary opinions to your own even exist, let alone get broadcasted.

                          • @Captain Yobbo:

                            you seem very much invested in being mad

                            you seem very kind of not too bright if we're casting aspersions

                            Lots of big assumptions

                            like what, exactly?

                            • @0jay:

                              very kind of not too bright

                              First 'cowbye' and now…whatever version of dyslexia or ignorance that resembles. More than a little ironic.

                              like what

                              You assume everyone on here has the same room temperature IQ you demonstrate and commensurate lack of professional experience.

                              • @Captain Yobbo:

                                commensurate lack of professional experience

                                you seem confused somehow, i know i am

                                you’re suggesting you’re a professional gender whisperer and are therefore expert across all the medical guidelines of all the fields..?

                      • @Captain Yobbo:

                        Gender dysphoria (I misquoted as dysmorphia) is still recognised as a mental health condition, that hasn't changed. It's been recognised for a long time that phenomena like ordinary grief response & spiritual experiences shouldn't be pathologised

                        You were the one calling it a disorder, I called you out. Why do you feel the need to re-explain to me?

                        It shouldn't be pathologised because it's not a disorder. Simple.

                        You have to wonder why, given medical guidelines in every other field tell you what a particular condition is, not what it isn't.

                        Because people like Rowling keep claiming it's a mental disorder when it's not. No one is running around claiming that grief is a disorder that needs solving. That seems incredibly obvious.

                        • @freefall101: There's two separate conditions yeah? And both previously were pathologised, for decades. What's contentious is the fact only a small number of conditions have similar explicit statements on what they are not, and they are for relatively commonly occurring phenomena.

    • Not even remotely.
