I struggle to imagine JK Rowling resisting the rise of the Nazis if she was a prominent figure during that time.
She would be far more likely to write an offshoot Harry Potter book about a nice Hitler Youth Camp where a noble and pure blonde hair blued eyed boy took the heroic choice of not attending Wizard School even though he was a wizard in order to support his country and join the Hitler Youth. Antics ensue in this fun and lighthearted romp through racial purity after a secret cabal of jews infilitrate Hogwarts to sabotage it and the perfect white boy must save the Wizard School with his newly found friends!
Wow! Such a slippery slope! What about the exclusive private box I use to watch Sports Team that I have access to because I happen to know a Nazi who is generous?
You are going to probably scream I AM the Nazi now when all I do is go to cocktail parties with them and honestly I don't even talk to them about that stuff I am there for business deals, what is this moral panic about?
Look don't get mad I am just trying to feed my family....
In my book, if your friends are Nazis, you’re a Nazi.
In this context, sure. But it's also valuable to keep in touch with such people because once all bridges are burned, there is no way back. This is for people you knew before. JK is seeking out contact with them so it's a different story.
I mean if someone has the energy for that, all the more power to them. I grew up with an abusive mother who went all in on q-anon Nazi bullshit and I legitimately just don’t have patience for people who choose such a hateful path. She will never change, and if for some reason she would, I won’t be there.
Totally legitimate. I'm thankfully not in the situation but some people handle it by not talking about politics while making their position clear. This still isn't easy and not for everyone. I'm sorry to hear you lost your mother.
Closest I've ever come was a guy I had loose contact with who called my keffiyeh a "terrorist scarf" and bombarded me with racist and islamophobic BS until I said "just stop it" and left and never talked to him again. I don't feel close enough to say I burned a bridge and certainly not the last one but I'm not in a position to judge.
She literally wrote a plot line in Fantastic Beasts about how it would be bad for wizards to stop the Nazis when they had the chance.
Grindelwald predicted another world war, and was attempting to rally wizards to abandon their no-intervention stance and prevent the war before it happened. Literally showed an image of the Holocaust and said he wanted to stop it. The "good guys" then stopped him.
I mean, the Malfoys were literal nazis, and she made them clearly the bad guys in her books. Where was the breakdown in her self-awareness that led her down the "racial purity" rabbit hole herself?

Very easy to imagine Rowling as a British Nationalist who would say we need to kill all the Nazis and then say we need to kill all the Russians and Kenyans and Indian nationalists and anyone else who crosses the UK.
I could see her doing the "Hilter and Gandhi both need to die" speech.
She's a British supremacist. The only people who get to do fascism are the ones working out of an office in London.
Unless I'm being served, which has to be done in person, then I would just ignore it. Cease and desist doesn't apply. Then if I get served, I'd be protected by satire laws.
It’s actually insane how much reach JKR lawyers have.. if you have been around certain pirating communities there are usually two very important rules: don’t upload Tolkien and don’t upload JKR. Those vermin reach anyone and everyone

She literally allies herself with Nazis because they share her TERF beliefs. In my book, if your friends are Nazis, you’re a Nazi.

"If 9 people sit at a table with 1 Nazi, youve got 10 Nazis". Not sure who I'm quoting.

Media literacy is not a strong suit for conservatives, even when it is their own media it seems.

Reminds me of Orson Scott Card and Ender's Game. Another person whose political beliefs seem so antithetical to key messages conveyed by their book.
evidences@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 169d
Yeah especially the sequels, he wrote two further books with Ender that the main message is genocide is bad, like really really bad.

Well yeah but that is just being a Nazi while being on a different team superficially, you are still a Nazi!

Reaching that conclusion requires reflecting upon your political beliefs and moral values, which seems to be a big no-no for the right.
