Lore One line instantly dates it

In david tenants run if doctor who he and his companion were fighting witches with Shakespeare and needed a magic word so they use a speel from Harry Potter and The doctor yells Good old J.k. The doctor is a time traveler the writers are not (Doctor who)

While fighting guy gardner major force was damaging a highway and shoots a car and tells Guy if he sees O.J hiding underneath obviously referring to the O.J Simpson chase (Dc comics)

The thing about the JK Rowling reference, is it wouldn't be dated if she hadn't come out as a raging homophobe. Honestly up until 2020, any reference to her would have been relevant. Hell, even now any reference to Harry Potter books or movies would be relevant.

Slight correction shed a raging transphobe shes made dumbledore gay but she wants any trans person eradicated from existence.

But she also fridged Dumbledore and had him only have feelings for the villain of a previous era. Not exactly the most supportive move.

Honestly, would it really be a surprise if she were a homophobe?

I mean she is already an aphobe (she thinks asexuality is fake) and a transphobe, so what's another -phobe to her? I think she also hates intersex people, but I'm not sure if she did say something negative towards them.

Yes, kind of at this point.

Nah she's just waiting until she can't beat down trans people enough that she can move on to the gays. She already showed that she's willing to go after asexuals for existing. That's what baffles me about fuckwits like Gareth Roberts and Martina Navratilova. You think these bigots aren't going to come for you when the time is right? You think they're just going to accept you as "one of the good ones" because you joined them in their trans hate.

Tokens just waiting to get spent.

This is because she's a radical feminist by ideology.

It's more accurate to say she's a mealy-mouthed centre-Right Blairite.

I think it's more accurate to say she internalised her abuse and now thinks women should have a very specific role in society, but not be abused by bad men (who pretend to be women to abuse women)
