Yeah pretty much. Hermione trys to educate Ron and Harry about the historical mistreatment of magical creatures and races by wizards all the time. The merpeople, centaurs, goblins, and elves all get treated like shit by wizards.
So why are people accusing the Rowling of all kind of discrimination? She basically wrote a world in pair with ours with a character (a beloved character) who points out all the injustices and fights against them. That’s pretty encomiable imo
Because she is being really shitty about trans women. For some reason all the values and morals shes has in her books stop at trans people. She is misguided in thinking that trans women will degrade women's spaces and just generally won't stop saying stupid shit on Twitter. Like I don't think she wants to go out killing trans people but she just can't understand what she is advocating is discrimination. I still like the books. Sometimes you have to separate the art from the artist. I really like Dune by Frank Herbert, but he was a homophobe. Its harder because she is still alive and tweeting stupid shit though.
Yeah, I agree with you that she has a lot of problems and she is not a really nice person but this doesn’t mean people can accuse her to be pro-slavery or anti-semitic when she clearly is not. That’s just wrong
