Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's interesting to see her timeline is full of Trump hate considering how much she hates LGBTQ
This is why we can’t have nice things… Just because two people agree on one topic doesn’t mean they agree on all other topics.
I'm not even sure they agree on that topic tbh, I'm no expert in the matter but I believe JK's transphobia stems mainly from her radical feminism and wanting to protect what she thinks of as true women, whereas trumpers just hate everyone for unknowable reasons. Same end result though.
Right wing feminism is a more apt way to describe it, I believe. Some would argue excluding people isn't feminist at all, but we can at least clarify that it's the right wing of feminism that focuses on things like excluding trans people and sex workers.
I couldn’t agree more. Radical feminism outside of America could be considered something like removing your hijab despite oppressive laws. Radical feminism can be a good thing. But right-wing feminism? Fuck right off.
As a left-leaning feminist, why would she like Trump? Whatever your opinions of her, even her enemies call her a TERF; RF stands for Radical Feminist. Hardly Trump's primary demographic.
"Nazi" is short for National Socialism, yes, as in social ownership of the means of production in service of the national state. Don't confuse the lazy modern usage of the term "socialism" for the actual historical definition.
And the whole point OP was making is Rowling and Trump are not working together. In fact, they take diametrically opposed stances on most, if not all, issues. And even if you see the end result as equal, they do not agree on this issue either. Their motivations are very different.
So, you like to make "guilt by association" arguments and guess at hidden motives instead of countering someone's actual arguments. Did JK Rowling speak at a Heritage foundation event? Does her views generally align with the Heritage foundation, do you find?
She's actially a Feminist Aligned Radical Transphobe. She only uses her feminism to disparage trans people
Yes, obviously her evil plan was to pose as a feminist since her youth just to enable a devious undercover attack on trans people late in life. A good thing so many people online are seeing through this malicious disguise.
No True Scotsman and all that.
I'd take it one step further; Feminist Appropriating Radical Transphobe
A FART?
I don't know shit about Rowling yet alone have an opinion about her. I just saw that she posts transphobic shit and clicked on her profile to find that she also posts A LOT about Trump.
So you're comfortable being vocally opinionated about topics you admittedly have next to no knowledge about. Seems like you yourself might have something in common with the average Trump voter.
What they said was:
I wouldn't call that "being vocally opinionated about topics you admittedly have next to no knowledge about." They're just saying they noticed something and found it interesting.
