https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture Someone you know walks up to you and shouts, 'J.K. Rowling's an evil transphobic slag who should be cancelled!' You can agree, disagree, or find some moderated middle ground, just respond to them from the point of view of someone who's informed. And you can answer in an informal way (just edit your work before you finish) -- 300 Words en-us 2016-09-12 12:36:09 UTC 2021-02-08 19:44:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176615295 I completely agree. I believe that she is underestimating the intelligence of her audience as well. We see her make some absolutely outrageous and totally uncalled-for comments, such as "particularly trans women of colour, are at particular risk". Worse still, she just tries to cover up her sins by making these comments on how she is supportive of people she's met who are in similar situations.

She makes it very clear that she's firstly, against the idea, secondly, is trying to discourage gender transformation, and thirdly, tries to link everything bad with the young generation to transgender people. The last point there is vital. Towards the last half of the extract, she brings up the idea that her up-bringing was a lot more 'simple' some may say, purely because of people's decisions to change sex. This is just wrong on so many levels. It seems clear that she has a serious problem with the current generation of teenagers, which goes unmentioned however this is probably for the better, and ,as mentioned earlier, she throws this on the very niche minority of people. It's not subtle either, she essentially screams through the page at you making her point clear from near enough start to finish.

The worst part is that this isn't my least favourite thing about her comments. she tries to cushion her thoughts by talking about people she's met and how nice they are and stuff like that. Firstly, wouldn't that go against your point, and secondly, don't make it all seem ok because you've said this. It's like say "I once beat up a baby but all is well because my 9 month old niece and I get on really well". This is why I say she is underestimating the intelligence of the reader. She thinks these comments are covered up by her kindness, when in reality, they stick out like dog's balls.]]> 2021-02-08 12:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176615295 https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176625360 I agree to an extent. However, by calling her a slag, it puts you below J.K Rowling herself in a way. She plays the victim in some points, promoting her own book in others. She uses her constant controversies surrounding some sort of transphobic, racist or homophobic comment she's "accidentally liked" or said herself during one of her pathetic ramblings on twitter to keep herself in the mouths of others. Pretty much grasping the idea of all publicity is good publicity at the neck. 

Rowling uses the excuse that she was researching trans issues as a way to get out of commenting positively on or subtly possibly unintentionally but none the less supporting issues with transphobia and the laws surrounding those it affects these laws include the trials people must go through to transition or receive hormone blockers until they're ready or sure. She stands for women's rights yet believes women are transitioning out of confusion with their sexuality or because other women are doing so and wants to keep the word women for the women.

However, by calling her a word which is used mainly to describe a woman as a cheap-looking whore who sleeps around and a waste of space. Is flat out wrong. You want to show that you support those that she has undermined, degraded or played down through Saying she needs to be cancelled I can agree with on many levels don't feed the fire of her ego, if you want to cancel her. Cancel her and then ignore her from then on.]]> 2021-02-08 12:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176625360 https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176626392 I both disagree and agree dear sir. You see I have taken notice of the fact of the things she has said over twitter recently and I can agree that the things she has said aren't very appropriate especially in this day and age. However this should not make her become labeled as, and I quote, " an evil trans phobic slag."

 Someone who does something bad is not a bad person, so the same applies to someone who says something. Especially when what they said was slightly taken out of context. However I can see this backlash the LGBT community has against her however you need to realize that people make mistakes and also keep an open mind that she has openly stated how she didn't mean for any hurt against the transgender community.

 Off topic slightly, I do believe that twitter is not the most friendly place on the internet especially considering that a lot of "cancellation" happens on twitter. Which clearly shows that the community on twitter is a very hateful community. So I don't think it's a stretch to say that the twitter community could just be overreacting especially because they have done this sort of thing before for the sheer purpose of ruining someones career for fun 

I also think that cancel culture is terrible for the world because it's basically people actively trying to ruin someones life ]]> 2021-02-08 12:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176626392 https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176628864 To a certain proportion I agree with that statement. However I do take sides on some of her argument. 

In my opinion Transgenders should not experience transphobia but should be given their own restrooms and bathrooms etc, as they are partially a mix between two genders. Hence, having their own space for people who are transgender will make them feel more comfortable, without receiving hate or discrimination etc. So in J.K Rowlings perspective where she doesn’t like sharing toilets with transgenders, I agree.

Although fighting fire with fire isn’t necessarily going to solve the debate, having J.K Rowling who has been an inspiration to many many people spew such hate is unacceptable. On the contrary, I think she should just stick to writing her books and novels, as well as continue to be a good role model. Nevertheless, she should still have her say on her personal matters and the public or those who oppose her should not cause unnecessary conflict between one another. 

Since many millions have access to social media, in which there are a lot of people who support the LGBT community, I personally feel she should have refrained from saying such things. But as mentioned before, she simply has free speech and is standing up for what she believes in. “Calling her a transphobic slag and she should be cancelled” is just a bit to harsh to say. You could say that with another topic or person you absolutely dislike. Everyone now are snowflakes.]]> 2021-02-08 12:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176628864 https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176634216 Its evident how JK rowling knows her ground and how to use it as a place to promote her beliefs and her career. People who can only pick out the parts that they like will always stay where they are. At the bottom. You made a clear statemeant: "Jk rowling hates trans people" and validated it by creating unnecassary hostility, tried to improve your place it the world, but failed.
you have to look at it in 2 ways. As a pessemistic person and an optomistic person .

As a pessemistic person i see her trying to sympathize the niche group transgender people who are struggling to prove her point, as well as supporting by twitter a lesbian who strongly focused on biological sex. I understand why people got displeased and thought it was the right time and scenario to ruin a 1.2 billion net worth author. She emphesizing and extends her views to a point where your bored and wonder why she cares so much. Being someone who gone through sexual abuse sets the ambigious tone in my argument as she knows the harsh outlook in life but then shouldn't that means she must brace the features as a women and other females too? That life isnt all about whats right and wrong but finding that part of yourself thats still developing especially as a teenager where issues like this is becoming more normalized. 
 

But then some points of what she says starts adding up, as it is true that teenagers like to follow the trend or to decide on a choice and jump into it all togther. Not to be so reckless and young she says and I agree too. The whole transistion isnt somekind of phase its a decision that needs deepconsideration.
It affects other around you and most importantly your self and mental welbeing.
Influencing hate is easy, you shifts the words to hit your "sensative spot" and use it as your declaration to move forward. She's a person who likes people to take life more seriously but you only live once so im not sure about it yet. Cancelling someone isnt about the action of not supporting a particular person but now to dehumanise them by ruing their life essentially.]]> 2021-02-08 12:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176634216 https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176637857 I disagree. J.K Rowling is not against being trans and she isnt transphobic. she is against agressive trans activist who seem to spend more time trying to find people to cancel then actually making change.]]> 2021-02-08 12:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176637857 https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176654313 I don't know. J.K Rowling talks about people she admired "cowering before the tactics of the playground". Put into simpler words, she's saying people are scared to speak up because they don't want to be labelled transphobic or be harassed on the media. 

I somewhat agree with this statement, yes you will be harassed if your opinion is too different from others, especially if it offends certain people in the lgbt community. Does this statement in particular make her transphobic? no, but it does make her a huge hypocrite. From what I understand, she has a history of pandering to others in order to make her books more popular. This includes lying about dumbledores sexual orientation to appeal to the gay community.

That makes her just like the people she's complaining about, she doesn't want to come off as transphobic or whatever horrible labels people could give her, so she's waffling about her values and trying to seem like a good person. She's only making these alterations to both her book and her online character to appeal to others and get more sales, I don't think she actually cares about these things at all.

Yeah that makes her a horrible human being but no she's not evil, and not a slag. As for 'cancelling' people, that's only worked with Shane Dawson. So I don't think she's going anywhere anytime soon, especially since she claims she's been cancelled multiple times already and she's still here.

If that was confusing to read, in short she's not transphobic, her views are just different than theirs and people are getting mad over it. She IS a lying hypocrite though and not a very good person because of those attributes.

Apoligies if I've missed any key factors.

I say this because this can offend a number of people and a lot of the people she has offended from her shared comments some of those people might have supported Jk Rowling in the past in many different ways. Even if they haven't either way you look at it Jk Rowling has offended innocent people in the world who will take it very differently and may already have problems they have to seek out and this can add extra stress on the people she offended which could lead to them getting mental or physical issues. 

Although I say this I agree with JK Rowling on the basis that if people are sending or saying abusive things about JK rowling this isn't fixing the global view on what she said it's just making another person feel worse. There are better ways to sought it out like spreading more awareness on LGBTQ+ matters and persuading or showing Jk Rowling and other people with similar views that they are wrong on this point of view.

Overall I don't agree with Jk Rowling's views but on the other hand, I do agree with the fact that calling Jk Rowling a slag and other things like that is not the best way to sought it out and both sides can sought it out in a more supportive way.]]> 2021-02-08 13:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176656482 https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176659252 I completely agree.

This I a complicated subject however calling Rowling a Slag isn’t the right way to go about it.

In one way Rowling was in the wrong as she has offended many people across the world but at the same time she has also stuck up for other. She talks about how she was cautious about her mental health, however I’m sure she wasn’t being aware of this innocent people who are getting stressed and hurt mentally from her comments. Because we live in a world where everyone has different views on life, you can’t exactly expect to please everyone.

J.k Rowling however makes some reasonable points like how]]> 2021-02-08 13:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ahn1/cancelculture/wish/1176706678
