2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

I think it's important she's called out. Her works are deep in the hearts of 3 generations and her shitty takes need to be addressed so those fans don't make the same choices.
Just like Bill Cosby, its important for everyone to know how much a skeezebag he is because he shaped the lives of so many people
I just saw a teacher dunk on a kid in a tiktok video because he couldn't explain why/how JK Rowling is a terf. Only for it to end with "I guess I was wrong, maybe she isn't bad for the Trans community" in no part of that video did the teacher let his own beliefs be challenged or allow the kid to research to support his own position.
So yeah... this stuff can be important.
Tiktok 'debates' are usually scripted propaganda or just recorded harassment.
I mean I guess that's everywhere on the internet now. Everyone thinks in soundbites and consider thought terminating cliches as legitimate discourse.
I'm not sure how the teacher could hold their position considering the knee high stack of rancid terf tweets she has put out THAT ARE STILL UP.
