Bellatrix Actress, Helena Bonham Carter, Defends JK Rowling

[Borisapillar 9,749]

JK Rowling has made a choice to make this trans debate her ENTIRE personality and legacy. It’s been going on for years now and if you read her tweets you’d see that she’s actually a total bully. She’s a public figure who continuously brings this subject up, week after week. She deserves whatever hate she gets for engaging with millions of people on Twitter about this.

Let's cancel an actress for having her opinion! Afterall we live in a free world where everyone has a right to be who he/She/it wants, think freely, etc… Oh no,,, Wait a sec -.-

*Sigh* Even on GGD you can't get away from this dumb take 

Anyway, figure this is a good time to share this - JK Rowling isn't just an outspoken transphobe, she has and continues to support homophobes and right wing anti-abortinists, including financially... cuz you know, it's HeR OPiNiOn

Death and rape threats and people showing up at her door to intimidate her.

Her opinions are vastly questionable, but it's hard to deny a line has been crossed more than once with her, and I believe Helena's reaction stems from that. Then again, journalists knew what they were doing by asking her about JK and Johnny Depp: one is a friend, the other the literal godfather to her children.

uh huh, sure

Came into this thread scared she'd passed

Same 

I hate that she's defending JK though. I understand trauma, I really do. But there is no excuse for all the vile things JK has said over the years. Having trauma does not give you free rein to say any kind of hateful thing you want.

I mean she is being given a wide platform to voice her opinion and no one is stopping her soo... 

JKR and Helena are both allowed to say what they want and think what they want, but everyone here is also entitled to think it shitty and say so

Again,,, it is her right and it shouldn’t minimize her artistic contribution,,, She didn’t commit any crime

what cancellation though? Harry Potter is about to release a major video game and JK will continue to make comfortable amounts of money from the widely beloved franchise

what has she actually suffered outside of twitter as a result of her actions?

The cancellation of her as a person? Why would you want to see an entire franchise get cancelled? People who have basically nothing to do with her anymore, game developers, who make their life earnings by creating and so many more jobs. Harry Potter is so much larger than just one woman

Extremely disappointed in Helena.

I don't get your point, but ok. I guess you're one of those who feigns not to understand irony.

And surely a GGD member wouldn't condone death and rape threats.

Oh, no. Good luck Helena, your gay icon card has been revoked. Patti Lupone sang Ms. Lovett better anyway.

Dame Angela Lansbury has entered the chat from beyond the grave.

So Helena’s basically saying that because JK has supposed trauma relating to a trans person that gives her the right to demonise the entire trans population publicly? How is this justified?
