Leftist anger and hatred towards JK Rowling will never not be funny to me. She was a progressive icon. Then she defended a woman wrongly terminated. Now she is the Head Transphobe In Charge. Her haters are now hating on HBO having a new Harry Potter TV series in development.

There is said to be an "imminent deal" between HBO and JK Rowling to bring a Harry Potter series to the streaming app. One that would provide "all the details that were missing" from the movies. The rub is Rowling is still a part of it and the haters are gonna hate, hate, hate, hate. hate.

Cries on the internet went out: "The second they start advertising for the new Harry Potter show I'm canceling immediately." "I would literally sell my soul for HBO to NOT got through with this." And my personal favorite: "JK Rowling in any role whatsoever is a nonstarter. She must be fully excised, and the taint of her bigotry must be far, far away."

But how did we get here? There was a time when leftists were identifying as different Hogwarts sects to declare how they were going to "resist" against Donald Trump. Today you might as well call Rowling "Voldermort."

It all started back in 2019. A woman named Maya Foster was fired for having the wrong opinion.

Maya Forstater, 45, lost her job as a tax expert at the Centre for Global Development in March this year after she was accused of publishing “offensive” tweets questioning government proposals to allow people to self-identify as the opposite sex.

However, in the landmark judgment published yesterday, employment Judge Tayler decided Ms Forstater’s view “is incompatible with human dignity and fundamental rights of others”.

If Ms Forstater had won the case, it would have legally prevented employers from dismissing staff for expressing the “offensive” view that there are only two biological sexes.

Rowling sided with Foster and her rights as a woman to hold her own opinions.

And that's it. That one tweet. owling is persona non-grata amongst her former allies over that one tweet. Or, the tweet and the fact activists weren't able to cyberbully Rowling into apologizing and begging for forgiveness.

Rowling who, mind you, is in no way, shape, or form a conservative. But because of one tweet, she is a literal Slytherin. Or, I guess she's a Slytherin. Anything I know about the books I know from Dwight Shrute.

Rowling has a single opinion the left disagrees with, and they hate her. That will never not be funny.

Now to try and remember how this all started with Chappelle.
