God do I want JK to go down for being an Epstein crony, but from the evidence here this appears to be entirely the fault of Peggy Seigal: well known for being a gatekeeping socialite idiot and good clout-chasing friend of Epstein.
Her inclusion is bad on it's own, but it's not quite on the level of "JK invited Epstein to her play" like the title implies, it's "someone on the production staff invited Epstein".
JK Rowling called Lolita a "Tragic Love Story" and that should've been enough in any sane world.
yeah, really feels like people aren't reading the article ...
I honestly don't care anymore. If there is the slightest hint of a connection between right wing freaks and Epstein, I'm just going to assume they fuck kids. I see no reason to give them the benefit of any doubt.
Rowling didn't even invite Epstein and wasn't even in the email chain, we have no evidence they've corresponded, let alone that she visited his island or fucks kids - I get not having good feelings towards a villain like Rowling, but I think you're engaging in poor reasoning
I am making an affirmative decision to engage in poor reasoning in a specific circumstance. It seems to work well enough strategically for the right, including Rowling, so I figure I'll try it out.
When we abhor the immoral actions of an evil person, we do not usually think their immoral actions give us moral license to engage in immoral behavior.
This is childish and indefensible, and I think you know that - so what's the point here? You're wasting my time, I'm not interested in talking to you further.
Your scolding was entirely unexpected. Really.
I'm not interested in being "the good guy" anymore. I've seen too many Ned Starks. This is a war, and I think it's you acting like a child. Trump went low and Hillary went high, and look where that got us. I've got sand in my pocket and I'm not afraid to use it.
"Hillary went high" lmfao
My feeling was that if someone on her senior staff was inviting people personally to a major event... it had to have been approved by her right?
Like theres no way she would allow the guest list to be entirely in the hands of someone else right??
Maybe I just have too much confidence in these people to manage thier own shit.
Aside from this being a relatively minor VIP event (it wasn't a premier or anything, as far as I can tell this was just a regularly running broadway pay-for-VIP event themed to tie in to the show) I don't think this really tracks - the goal of having senior staff is to not need to scrutinize each of their decisions, and although JK is many many awful things I've never seen her accused of micromanaging.
JK called Lolita a tragic love story so her being linked to Epstein would not be a surprise.
(you posted the exact same thing ten hours ago, though I don't disagree with the sentiment at all)
How did I not see this one coming. Being cartoonishly evil while transparently sucking up to power is her main move
Every accusation is a projection coming from these types.
her books have always have been implicating what she believes. it was discussed alot on some sub about her books.goblins=jewish people was the favorite theory, and i assume muggles is some form of racist thing she describe someone as.
Just when I thought she couldn't be any worse.
He might have rapped children, and then traded the children to other rapists but at least he didn’t put dresses on people that had a winkle.
She has standards!
So about that...
What the fuck
Yeah... I'm thinking of posting it individually but at the same time I don't know how to mark it as spoiler/nsfw so that people can choose not to see it.
Anyway, remember how the right said we wanted to forcibly trans children? Every. Accusation.
Not even just the content of that, but the way that guy worded it skeeved me out. Mum-pum?
NSFW can be done on posts by just clicking the "NSFW" checkbox—at least on standard lemmy web ui, I'm not sure about other UIs and apps, but its probably about the same.
Spoilers look like this:
On the standard Lemmy ui the button with an exclamation point (!) with a... diamond? Or what you might call it, around it will paste that code in.
I'm done with this planet
Maaaan, it sure seems like.... someone rolled a 20 when casting cuntus maximus.
We already know she is a freak of some kind. The freaks can't stand trans.
Mind you, this play was her shitty fanfiction of her own damned series...
If it's the original shitty author isn't it just a shitty sequel?
It's fanfiction, made to explain to her fans why her decisions are final, to wit - Cedric Diggory should stay dead.
Family guy did parody/ predict her quite a few episodes before she became full TERF queen.
God please, give me this one. It'd be so funny.
So she didn't invite him. That checks out. Does sound like producers inNew York were involved with Epstein, which shouldn't surprise anyone at this point. He seems to have had a finger in with everyone in new york.
It’s always the people I most suspect.
Bad headline = downvote
Can we start agitprop memes of «Harry Pedos»? Snape really wanted that Harry [censored].
