But I will say this, a movement can’t get along without a devil, and across the whole political spectrum there is a misogynistic tendency to choose a female devil, whether it’s Anita Bryant, Hillary Clinton, Marie Antoinette, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or J.K. Rowling [or Taylor Swift]. And there’s always gonna be people who seize on any opportunity to be misogynistic. So I would advise trans people and our allies [or environmentalists] to keep in mind, that J.K. Rowling [Taylor Swift] is not the final boss of transphobia [anti-environmentalism]. She’s not our devil. The devil is the Republican Party, the Conservative Party.

bro is comparing some clothes to the imprisonment and execution of millions of people 💀
At least they also got some truly bad people with all the innocent people ig, what has contra done apart from show off how many outfits and hotel rooms she can afford on the corporate advertising platform under the guise of spewing enlightened pseudointellectual psychobabble, not once helping her people (but always using them as a leg to stand on), not once speaking truth to power in ways that matter?
i think she has done good pol-ed. i don’t know if she’s really done activism, though she does seem to construct her videos in a way designed to appeal to more than the choir.
i dunno. i just think shitting on her is wrong unless she’s done something… wrong.
the OP quote is the correct nuance, but also, we shouldn’t overlook rowling’s bullshit.
Wow, this is some tankie shit right here.
I’m an Anarchist btw.
I’d rather cautiously respect a dead principled revolutionary gone wrong and learn from their mistakes than idolize shills for the status quo who abuse their minority status because “wow many colours! Is that blue and purple?”
You’re comparing a youtuber who makes questionable fashion choices to totalitarians who murdered millions, and want people to believe the youtuber is worse.
Do you really not see the absurdity in that?
