She started being openly and confidently transphobic in 2019, yet he worked with her in 2020(The Ickabod). And hasn't really spoken on her statements until now, despite having his ties to her as the narrator of the British English Harry Potter audiobooks.

Renowned British actor, author and broadcaster Stephen Fry has labelled Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling a "lost cause" and stated that she has been "radicalised by TERFs" - the acronym that stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist"

she wasn't "radicalised by TERFs" she's the source of the contagion.

Come on, either you don't interact with TERFs a lot or you're just being dumb right now. She was clearly radicalized by TERFs over the last decade, parroting TERF takes and viewpoints years after they have originally been made. Calling her the source is giving her way more credit that she deserves

Yeah, TERFs have been around since Rowling was a child.

Imagine how many people would be happier if she just died.

Millions of fans, executives, and game devs... not to mention all the queer people she's slandering... carrying on with the beloved fiction her bigoted ass has not contributed to in twenty fucking years. 'JK Rowling was sixty or whatever, choked on a lemon rind, thank god. Now we can all appreciate this stupid wizard story without funding Dolores Umbridge.'

Go lick the black mold on your walls, Joann, you miserable old woman. Down a bottle of wine before a bath in your fucking mansion. Slip into irrelevance by whatever means suit you.
