Barely. Dave Chappelle and Morgan Wallen, the country superstar, did too.<\/p>\n<p>Author J.K. Rowling\u2019s fight with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/get-a-bloody-mirror-j-k-rowling-points-out-what-real-misogyny-is-in-one-tweet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the authoritarian Left<\/a>However, it shows no sign of slowing down. It might even be getting more intense.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, after some comments she posted on social media angered trans activists, the star first came under fire. She challenged the usage of the phrase. \u201cpeople who menstruate\u201d Instead of saying \u201cwomen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glamour.com\/story\/a-complete-breakdown-of-the-jk-rowling-transgender-comments-controversy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">follow-up explanation<\/a> This trend has become even more popular.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf sex isn\u2019t real, there\u2019s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn\u2019t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn\u2019t hate to speak the truth,\u201d She spoke.<\/p>\n<p>Rowling is a Trump critic and a political progressive. Despite her love for the trans community, Rowling suddenly became Cancel Culture fodder. Since then, Rowling has been the target of relentless attacks. That doesn\u2019t always happen when the woke acolytes are upset. Social justice warriors are often happy to move on to other targets and find new victims.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Hart lost the Oscar hosting gig in 2018 for old jokes deemed homophobic, for example, but he hasn\u2019t come under significant fire since then.<\/p>\n<p>That isn\u2019t the case with Rowling, and in a small way she has herself to blame.<\/p>\n<p>Many celebrities self-censor after reading Cancel Culture broadsides. Others may become \u201callies\u201d For the cause of the day, they use social media to spread progressive memes and talk points.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve been re-educated, or they simply fear more blowback.<\/p>\n<p>Rowling hasn\u2019t backpedaled an inch. She doesn\u2019t comment on trans issues Twitter on a weekly basis, like director Rob Reiner comments on Trump on a near-daily basis. She is not afraid to defend herself against personal attacks and refuses apologize.<\/p>\n<p>She shredded trans activists in November 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/j-k-rowling-speaks-out-after-doxxing-so-many-death-threats-i-could-paper-the-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shared her home address<\/a> she acknowledged it on social media and that it put her life at risk because of the hatred people feel for her. She said she gets so many death threats that she can&#8217;t even think about it. \u201cpaper the house with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps \u2013 and I\u2019m just throwing this out there \u2013 the best way to prove your movement isn\u2019t a threat to women, is to stop stalking, harassing and threatening us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bullies will often retreat when the victim resists. That\u2019s not the case with Rowling\u2019s detractors. The Cancel Culture forces haven\u2019t forgiven or forgotten. They are continuing their pressure campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, we\u2019ve learned of a transgender artist who literally removed Rowling\u2019s name from the books which earned her literary immortality \u2014 the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto resident Laur Flom <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/13\/reseller-removes-j-k-rowlings-name-from-harry-potter-books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">removed Rowling\u2019s name<\/a> Not only from the cover of minimum 30 \u201cPotter\u201d books, but removed her from the copyright pages and titles. Flom resells the updated tomes for those triggered by the author\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of this project is to create a safe space for fans to find comfort in the books and critically engage with J.K. Rowling\u2019s work,\u201d Flom said.<\/p>\n<p>It is as simple as the act of \u201cliking\u201d one of Rowling\u2019s so-called problematic tweets can extend her Cancel Culture fight to new players. A \u201cStar Wars\u201d Legend has experienced this personally. <\/p>\n<p>Mark Hamill, AKA Luke Skywalker, merely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/mark-hamill-defends-liking-jk-rowling-tweet-after-liberals-erupt-twitter-no-place-nuance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">liked a Rowling tweet<\/a> Clapping back at one her many detractors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m more of a woman than JK Rowling will ever be,\u201d A transwoman wrote. \u201cCitation needed,\u201d Hamill loved Rowling&#8217;s reply.<\/p>\n<p>The Twitter storm that engulfed the star of socially progressive views at 71 years old quickly erupted. The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarkHamill\/status\/1618012349516115968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">actor quickly apologized<\/a> With the appropriate verbiage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I \u2018liked\u2019 about this exchange was someone speaking their truth to power. Twitter is, unfortunately, no place for nuance. It\u2019s imperative I make this abundantly clear: I support human rights for EVERYONE, regardless of their gender identity, PERIOD,\u201d Hamill tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Rowling often says she has the power, and wealth, to not only speak out but ensure her public safety, to the degree that it\u2019s possible. Others who support her work in any fashion aren\u2019t so fortunate.<\/p>\n<p>Kara Lynne is a videogame employee. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/video-game-company-folds-to-trans-activists-online-pressure-campaign-fires-targeted-employee\/?bypass_key=R3ZMVjhXNFZiU2ZCK041NHZZV2pqZz09OjpPWEZUT1ZaMFIxUmpaRUowWVRCd2RuSlVjMXB5ZHowOQ%3D%3D%3Futm_source%3Demail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lost her job<\/a> After sharing some support for a Harry Potter-themed video game, she was able to share her excitement. She expressed her excitement for the upcoming \u201cHogwarts Legacy\u201d videogame, which has no direct connections to Rowling other than being set in Harry Potter universe. This declaration sent activists scrambling to find more problematic opinions on her social media channels.<\/p>\n<p>It worked. A seven-year-old Lynne tweeted a critical tweet about transgender bathrooms. \u201cresurfaced.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lynne left her job soon.<\/p>\n<p>Mainstream media usually supports celebrity victims like Meghan Markle. Few outlets have rallied to Rowling\u2019s side over the years. They tend to downplay the death threats and attempt to remove Rowling&#8217;s name from Potter lore.<\/p>\n<p>GamesRadar, for example, shared a Tweet calling Rowling\u2019s words \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeoKearse\/status\/1618208288293933059\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">harmful<\/a>\u201d to the transcommunity.<\/p>\n<p>Rowling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Rogan survived his fight with Cancel Culture.
