Why i dont support
JKR, Tom felton, Sean biggerstaff
J.K. Rowling
JKR has made many transphobic, homophobic, anti-semitic, and racist actions through the harry potter books and her social media.
Transphobia:
JKR has made made multiple tweets in the recent years giving opinions of her incorrect ideologies on trans people. Multiple Statements regarding biology and science, that are incorrect and transphobic. JKR has supported and boosted many transphobic shops that promote TERFs (Trans exclusionary radical feminists) which of course is harmful to the trans community.
Racism:
In the Harry Potter Books, JKR neglects her ability to include diversity, and when she does, its stereotypical and harmful. Most of her asian characters are stereotyped and put into ravenclaw, “the smart house” which perpetuates the stereotype that all asian people are smart. Not to mention Cho Chang’s name alone. Dean Thomas, 1/3 of her canonically black characters is known for not having a dad. One of her other Black characters Kingsley Shacklebolt, is inappropriately named, as “Shackles” can be tied to slavery.
Anti-Semitism:
in the harry potter books J. K. Rowling wrote the goblins in as the bank tellers. goblins are unfortunately often known Jewish caricature, and they are written as greedy for money, which also is another incorrect jewish stereotype.
Homophobia:
Remus Lupin from the Harry Potter books is
A werewolf of course, and JKR wrote an analogy comparing Lupin’s lycanthropy to homosexuality. She makes Lupin’s identity out to be something that he needs to be ashamed of,and has to hide. Werewolves in the Harry Potter series are also known for often attacking children which is yet again another harmful stereotype that JKR decides to include.
