Remus J. Lupin

Rowling es mala persona, todas las pruebas y cero dudas. Doy RT a cosas que exponen su maldad.

[Remus J. Lupin @remus_]

Voy a seguir publicando como Remus aquí, si. Pero mi opinión es esta:

- JK es una persona horrible por despreciar a la gente trans en concreto, y por dar dinero a gente que actúa contra el colectivo LGTBI+ en general

- Ni un duro más le doy a la terfa

Señora extraterfa: Voy a escribir una novela sobre una señora famosa tránsfoba. Pero no hay self insert.

[Remus J. Lupin @remus_]

Y dice que no hay self insert, ojo. Hay que creerla; ella jamás hizo coincidir la fecha de cumpleaños de su protagonista con la suya.

jk rowling could have easily and uncontroversially been remembered as the most beloved children’s author of all time but she took a detour and is now being defended by a totalitarian war criminal dictator. anything is possible

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

In fact I have little doubt in mind if challenged on this idea now, Rowling herself would manage to completely misunderstand what is wrong about what Malfoy and her do, and say "actually it's evidence that he's not such a bad guy after all"

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

As is usual for her, though, the critique doesn't go very deep beyond the superficial and there's no actual challenge made to the system that allows this

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

JKR at the very least understands the initial premise of this idea, that the rich use charities for PR and to buy people off, somewhere deep down in her miserable rotten soul, because she wrote a villain guilty of the exact same thing she now does

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

Charities in a large part exist to assuage the guilt of the rich and make it seem like there's an actual solution to avoid any real helpful change for people

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

And to paraphrase Clement Attlee, if the rich want to help he should pay more taxes to fund public services instead of giving to charities on a whim. People shouldn't have to depend on charities!

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

irl it's also very often, in large or in part, as a tax dodge (especially when it's their own charitable foundation - which JKR has)

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

But it becomes very quickly obvious he just does this as a way to keep up a good public face and to buy money - it's a essentially a bribe. Which is exactly how big donations to charities often work in real life (my mum worked for a very big charity, I've done volunteer work)

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

I hate that I still know enough about her books to even remember this, but she fairly explicitly critiques this sort of person in the form of Lucius Malfoy. It's established almost immediately that he gives a lot of money to the magic hospital.

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

The "you can't criticise JKR because she gave to charity" line is absurd for in many ways but one of them is that even she herself is aware that rich, awful people often give a pittance of their wealth to charity to seem good & buy influence, because she has a character like that
