They can’t pronounce her name, they produce zero evidence that she is “transphobic,” and they revel in the meme that the Gringotts Goblins are shameless representations as Jewish bankers (see ‘Rowling’s Goblin Problem?‘ by Beatrice Groves for the actual allegorical representation of those Goblins). This was Saturday Night Live at it’s cheap-shot nadir, which is really saying something for a show with a fifty year history.
That was only five years ago. It is hard to imagine a more stunning example of life-imitating-fiction than this years-long episode of Legacy Media piling on the author of the Harry Potter novels in parallel with Rowling’s depiction of the mindless response of Daily Prophet readers to the lies they published courtesy of the Ministry of Magic.
Last Tuesday’s vote turned out to be at least in part a referendum on whether Rowling was a bigot and fascist or a heroic champion of biology based feminism and the rights of women and children. She seems to have weathered the agonies of the last five years better than Pete Davidson…
If kooky Rowling-haters are reminded of Jewish people whenever they see her fictitious, greedy, ugly practitioners of the financial profession then they are the ones who have failed the Rorschach test. Not J. K. Rowling.
