You should watch Shaun's video on the Harry Potter series. He goes into a deep dive of how the books are littered with her political views - even the first one - and how you can watch her become more conservative as they progress and she became more wealthy: the books start out criticizing the system, but by the end, the message becomes that the system should never be questioned.
Throughout the books are a pattern of borderline racist stereotypes (the black kid is named Shacklebolt, the Asian girl is named two single syllable last names - might as well be named Ching Chong - the 15-year-old Irish kid is obsessed with whiskey and blowing stuff up, etc), but you can also see where her transphobia came from. Everytime she wants you to hate a woman in the books, she describes them as having some kind of masculine features, from a strong jawline to "mannish hands."
As people become more wealthy or famous, they're given a bigger microphone to cast their garbage opinions with and it's never been easier to tell the world your shitty political beliefs than it is right now.
His video on Rowling’s new friends is also a good watch.
Helen Joyce has gone onto Jordan Peterson for Chrissakes. They’ll overlook their feminism as long as they can hate trans people.
Rowling has also platformed NeoNazi Posey Parker’s work. This is the person who popularized that “adult human female” slogan they love so much.
The feminism is a front. If they make themselves the victims, they can be hateful shits.
