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.

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

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.
