The Stephen Fry script must be revived. Now they have the Disney money, they can offer him a huge pay deal if need be to obtain his services for RTD2. I honestly believe that and the long-mooted Peter Jackson episode should be given top priority.
Since RTD has returned as showrunner and is getting so much budget from Disney, I wonder if he’ll finally bring some of these original and alternate concepts to life.
The budget increase was another bit of misinformation spread around by journalists. RTD dispelled the claims that the show would be getting a significant budget increase with Disney.
@@BlueSparxLPs We've already seen like three alternate outfits for one season. Disney is definitely slipping them something under the table, and probably aren't exactly breaking the bank on it.
@@arubinojr5670 That's not even unique, though? Capaldi's Doctor had so many costume changes from story to story, he was rarely seen in his official base looks. A few alternate costumes is not any evidence of a bigger budget.
Honestly wonder if some Moffatt writers and even Cornell could return in Davies' 2nd run as showrunner. Could definitely see a story by Cornell delving into the psychological impact that the whole back half of 13's run and whatever circumstances forced him back into 10's form as 14 being a weight on the Gatwa Doctor. (Ditto Gallifrey being in a bit of a paradox dead state...again). Just feel a story channeling that trauma and emotion that 13 shrugged/repressed could do some work on addressing the problems with Chibnal's run and working on clearing the board for RTD to make the DW Universe fit again. Also could sort of bring a callback to Day of The Doctor. 10: The one with regrets 11: The one who forgets 13: The one who Represses? Pretty much retroactively give 13 more character to make the comparisons between 13 and Gatwa more palpable beyond "Actually has a consistent character"
RTD will defo try and make sense of Chibnall's run and maybe some of Moffats crazy storylines as well. He'll make them work in his new era because he's faithful and respectable to the show and its history. I think Moffat is more or less confirmed to be writing in the new era and maybe Chibnall too but cant confirm that.
I mean, if we're Gonna bring up the timeless child why don't we just go Full unnatural history and bring up the other and dr who Go all out with the doctor's paradoxical time lying

Matt Berry as a new TV incarnation of the Meddling Monk would be a riot. :-))) And imagine him briefly running into Missy and figuring out it's the Master (someone even the Monk likely fears). The vampire ideas are rather lame, though. The land of fiction return would have been interesting. I think I've read before about the "Lucy Sparrow" prototype for Amy and the story originally involving a longer continuing Tenth Doctor, before things changed for good and series 5 could focus on a new Doctor and new storyline.
If you dont like what Harbo is saying, dont watch his videos. Hes never pretended that hes anything but a trans ally so dont be so shocked when he takes issue with a woman seeking to do the community harm.
@General J I don't understand how someone can be a fan of doctor who and be anti trans. Especially now RTD is coming back who has publicly spoken out against anti trans rhetoric.
As a trans person, your continued open support and acceptance of trans people has meant so much to me, and has made this channel feel like a safe space for me, given how much transphobia there is on youtube. It honestly makes me feel better about myself. On another note, I think it's for the best that love and war wasn't adapted for the modern era. I love 7 and Ace's dynamic, and I think it fits the story so much better. Edit: if you don't agree with me, that's fine. Your personal beliefs don't affect me. But if Harbo's content and views bother you, you don't have to watch, or can choose to ignore it. Either way, doesn't affect me.
@@TheWolfXCIX Your refusal to acknowledge the differences between sex and gender is all on you, it wont make you 'win' anything, and will literally only result in you being confused and not understanding what people are talking about.
I have also looked into some of the potential unmade stories that had been shelved for Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures and I really hope in his 2.0 era that Davies potentially picks up and adapts one of these. There was one that was bounced between both Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures that was intended to essentially be a single hander story featuring one character. It had 2 working titles. One called Checkout and the other called Supermarket Sweep. It would feature either Ianto Jones or Luke Smith having to battle an alien on their own in a supermarket with 0 support from anyone else and having to single handedly defeat this creature and stop whatever the threat was going to be only using the tools and resources available in the supermarket. It was meant to evoke the vibe of Die Hard and I think it is a really interesting concept and I really hope that Davies picks this back up again and adapts it for the main show and has it be a single hander episode for either the companion or a guest star and have the Doctor maybe show up in like the last 5 minutes not realising the threat has already been neutralised by someone else. Playing into the Doctor often being late or the TARDIS making the Doctor end up in the wrong place. Also I kind of really want a way for Luke Smith to be in the main show since he was always a brilliant character and I think he would have an interesting dynamic with the Doctor so it would be nice to have Luke come back for like 1 or 2 episodes in a guest role with maybe his reintroduction being the supermarket story. It's just an idea but I just really like the concept of it.
I did hear that War of the Sontarans and Village of the Angels were 2 planned stories for Series 13 anyway. Just rewrote and changed in parts to connect with the Flux storyline
Matt Berry Monk is still my most wanted, like I need it so badly (though Queenie probably wants it more...) and were it not for Barrowman being an idiot (and his relationship with Eccleston anyway), The Void could have ended up being done... Perhaps it'll be retooled one day or the Perfect Companion one done as an Unbound...
With the Sir Gwaine episode could've been interesting if it was a sequel to Battlefield from S26 Like could tie it to a crack in time caused by a ghost shift/Mickey getting back to N-Space, causing the Doctor & Rose to arrive in the dimension that all the knights, Arthur & Morgaine came from. Although i guess, having it be Episode 11 in the same series with the Rise Of The Cybermen/Age Of Steel + the dimension hopping already in Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday could be a tad repetitive (the whole get back from Pete's World and then few episodes later get back from Arthur's Dimension, then in the finale Daleks & void ship hiding in the void + cybermen and The Preachers from Petes World)
Irene what if we Cut out then getting back from Pete's world and have them land in arthur's world So they fall through pete's world arthur's world before finally coming back out into n-space But Is the voice ship follows them back
While I don’t appreciate the low digs at Gatiss, The Suicide Exhibition is such a brilliant concept to have not have been made, honestly one of my most wanted pieces of Who… I know Nick Briggs has expressed interest in trying to adapt them to audio, so maybe not all is lost.
I’m glad someone else said this. I’m actually a big fan of Gatiss’s episodes myself, I love his style of Doctor Who story - but, regardless, it feels quite mean spirited whenever he points out his dislike for the guy.
Fir Bholg is pronounced as "Feer volg", at least it is here in Munster. Fairly sure it translates as Wounded Men but I could be wrong. Leaving Cert (A Level) Irish is really serving me well 🙄
I’m going to be honest here, the alien creature attaching itself to an author and warping reality into one based on their creations sounds like, well, a really cool idea. I actually want them to retool that, maybe for a fictional author or even another famous one from history. Imagine if it latched onto Roald Dahl, J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, Dr Seuss or even HP Lovecraft
The Doctor fighting wizards? Cool but we can do way better. The Doctor fighting full blown fantasy creatures, magic, dark gods, a world that defies all logic, the physical embodiment of death itself or even cosmic horrors beyond our comprehension? HELL YES
I still would have loved to see that J.K Rowing episode. Specially since this was in the height of the Harry Potter movies and Tennet was in The Goblet of Fire. Imagine the back and forth Harry and the Doctor would have as Harry confuses him for Mad Eye
Rowling didn't attack anyone. The supposed "allies" however have doxxed, harassed, bullied, sent death threats, and celebrated an innocent man's passing.
I had no idea that fully fleshed out ideas could just be dropped like that!! Fingers crossed Matt Berry makes his way into Doctor Who... hopefully using the incredible speaking pattern he uses in WWDITS haha
Just to counter the phobes finding this video, it has been your continued open support of the trans community, and the windr LGBTQIA+ community that has caused me to subscribe, rather than just watch your videos of they pop on on my feed. Thanks for being awesome.
3:45 Has real comic book limited series potential. 5:38 Never Forget, even in Current Year, that a Stephen Fry teleplay being allowed to fall through is what caused Fear Her.
Ah yes, the legendary unmade JKR episode. Probably one of the biggest dodged bullets in Who history, though nothing will ever top "Patrick Troughton wanted to play the Doctor in blackface so nobody would recognize him" in that regard.
@@ryaneckersley2037 Yeah, he was so afraid that taking over the role from Hartnell would be a disastrous failure that he didn't want anybody to associate him with it. How exactly he thought people would fail to recognize him if he wore blackface is beyond me.
I would have liked to have seen the storyline where with the Doctor manipulating Rose's timeline. Moffat briefly wrote years ago in Dr Who Magazine about his idea for if David Tennant stayed on another year, but when he did, he called Amy "Amy Pond" instead of the name you stated in the video. Although maybe just called her "Amy" in that article to keep things simple.
And in 2033 they all got made into Big Finish Lost Stories. 😅 (or short trips like that one) Except the JK Rowling one, *shudder* I'm glad they didn't retool Love & War, I love that story just as it is. I loved Human Nature just as it was too, but removing it from Doctor 7 ruins less than taking L&W from him. 23:35 Wait, what?!? You can be demonetized for mentioning the pandemic? Since when? Since why?!?
So glad the JKR story never happened. It would be pretty awkward with the doctor being able to change sex and all that... Might be kind of funny with the thirteenth doctor though. Especially with how easily she brings up how she used to be a man.
Interesting that you comment on she who cannot be named (without summoning a horde of trolls willing to argue in both directions). There was never a script so it doesnt count as an unmade episode but RTD asked her if she'd like to write an ep when he took the reigns. She was amused but gave a very definitive no
@@travelservices1200is it that hard, even if you don't agree with their life style, just not to be mean to them? Ok, you believe they're oddballs. They ain't harming anyone so just... leave them be? Not sure why Rowling can't do that, no one would care about her personal views if she just mentioned them once and didn't repeatedly harp on about nonsense about how bad they supposedly are.
@@matt4048 Just to be clear, I have NO problem at all with "their lifestyle"; not in the slightest. They should live and be well and try to be happy, and if they experience themselves as some particular gender, well, they know themselves better than I ever could, so I will take it as my starting point to accept a person's view of who and what they are. I am probably considered one of the most extreme "oddballs" among the people that I know, so it would be severe hypocrisy for me to disdain others as "oddballs". And incidentally, I don't "believe they're oddballs", certainly not in any negative sense. I believe they are humans, and all humans are different from all other humans who have ever existed. People aren't fungible; everyone is an oddball. I was simply denigrating the notion (implicitly stated by terra4686) that hate could ever be a useful response to disagreement, and I quoted the Emperor from Star Wars to make my sarcastic point. It's perfectly reasonable to think Rowling is wrong, and even to think she is bigoted against trans people--though I'm not entirely convinced that's so. If it is, I would find it a character flaw, certainly, but I suspect that her own experiences with domestic violence and the like are behind her concern about things like having "pre-op" trans women work in rape counseling centers, for instance (at least for victims who do not feel safe around "biological males"). I consider the counselees' status as the victims of sexual violence supersedes--locally, in this SPECIFIC instance--the very well-intended and admirable desire of any given trans woman to do such important work. There are probably plenty of women who have no fear of trans women giving providing counseling for them, and there is plenty of such necessary work to go around, unfortunately. It is not an easy situation, and we can all wish there were no need for such counseling. But I think the first commenter's statement that they think someone is "cool" for "hating Rowling" is worthy of at least a bit of snark (though it was probably not very productive of me). Hate closes the mind and corrodes society. I'll quote the 12th Doctor's final speech, in which he says, "Hate is always foolish, and love is always wise." Maybe it would be better if one tried to understand another's point of view--even if one does not agree with them--and then to have actual dialogue with that person, rather than throw out epithets and curses on the website formerly known as Twitter (or, indeed, on TH-cam). I also think you are right that Rowling should just drop this issue instead of allowing herself to be cast in the role of the antagonist to those who denigrate her. She's very clever with snarky remarks and so on--she is a brilliant writer--but I think it's almost never the case that one can win someone's understanding by winning a snarky debate (and I can see that I'm being a hypocrite here), so I think she's just making her position less convincing by getting into any schoolyard-style rhetoric. I also agree with your third sentence without any reservation. If someone isn't harming anyone else, one should definitely let them be. Life is hard enough and the world is complicated and crazy enough already. I also think that many in the trans community would be better served to stop hating on Rowling but instead just to say, "Well, she's entitled to her opinion, but being a best-selling author doesn't involve any expertise that would make her especially likely to be right about this issue, and I think she's wrong. Now, let's get past that fruitless discussion and see what we can do to try to improve things, preferably for everybody." Thank goodness, life is not a zero-sum game.
I mean if the doctor travels back to the seventh doctors era And it takes a few turns he could end up in the marvel universe Because doctor who has one continuity and at one point, it was part of marvel uk, which was connected Is to both the transformers and the main marvel universe for a time
@@plantainsame2049 Indeed I believe it was an issue where Deathshead ( Later after that killed and absorbed into the multiple minds of the cyborg Minion that eventually became Deathshead II) became part of Transformers (At that point still part of Marvel).
I gotta say, putting JK aside, that story with the aliens attaching themselves to an athour and making their words come alive sounds amazing AF, and I hope they return to it in the future with someone different.
I still would have loved to see that J.K Rowing episode. Specially since this was in the height of the Harry Potter movies and Tennet was in The Goblet of Fire. Imagine the back and forth Harry and the Doctor would have as Harry confuses him for Mad Eye. I truly believe we have been robbed of some great storytelling potential.
I would like to have seen JK Rowling in Doctor Who, She wrote one of the most notable book series of all time and considering that she got a shout out in The Shakespeare code it would explain the line "GOOD OLD JK!"
@@theoatyastarties extra lol @ "one of the greatest book series of all time that is still popular to this day" especially considering its popularity has been severely dropping off lately...

Rowling is demonised for saying men and women are fundamentally different. Whereas Tennant gets awarded by saying a black woman who thinks differently than he does shouldn't live. One of these is not like the other.

Guys, thought experiment about Rowling here. Rowling's views on the trans issue weren't known back then (and I honestly don't think they were the same), so she could have lucked in to getting to write a Doctor Who episode. If she had written an episode, would her detractors in this comment section try to retroactively disavow her episode from the fandom? Would you blindly label it as bad/off limits without considering its merits? Would Harbo do a video on that episode? Would you unsubscribe from his channel if he said positive things about her writing, especially considering the episode itself would contain nothing controversial? Would like some answers please
I think most people would dislike it either way, because it's a bad idea for an episode. It's just sucking up to JK Rowling, regardless of the fact she would later be found out to be a bad person, writing a whole script about a well-known author just to get her to appear on the show is just plain cringeworthy.
People love unicorn and the wasp but the writer has said plenty of things on par with rowling. No you disavow the person, you can give credit to where it is deserved for the story and once you know their yikesy takes you would hope that the person doesn't get to write for the show in the future. Are you honestly hoping to have your questions answered or do you have an axe to grind?
@@Alistair-gi3bx - It's weird, isn't it. OP seems to want there to be a scenario where we're forced to accept, forgive, or ignore Rowling's transphobia... because there was a good episode of Dr Who? Far better authors than her have earned my contempt with their views, and I revel in knowing that I'm enjoying their art without their approval.
She's made many aggressive posts on her X profile in the past that contain swearing, one notable example being when she "accidentally" pasted an offensive comment replying to a child. No matter what you think you have to admit that's a bit fucked up in the head for a famous children's author.
I would have loved to see j.k in doctor who. Just because she made a comment. She is hated, around the world, by some woke nonsence people. All she said was. There are two genders? That does not mean that she hates transgender... I love her
A few things, she said one her her friends was fired from her job for saying "a woman is a woman" when in fact, she was bullying trans people on her twitter account, which was very publicly linked to her place of work, her work then decided that because of how it was making them look, they would not renew her yearly contract. Her saying that she was fired for saying a woman is a women is untrue, why does JK insist that it was a mere question that got her fire, not deliberate bullying? Seems sus. She supported the "rapid onset gender dysphoria" study, which took children who were by no means trans (one of them was thought to be trans because he played with a doll once, literally) then, after the study was done, all of the children who could not be contacted were considered to have de-transitioned, the problem, however is 1) There was no evidence they were trans to begin with, and 2) they had no evidence to suggest they de-transitioned. Anyone should be able to see how dishonest that study was, and how it was made to get a specific result. Her parroting that study thinking it is serious, unbiased, and accurate, is so staggeringly dishonest I can only assume malice.
@@travelservices1200 have you missed the various Twitter rants, her funding of groups now noted as hate groups, and her association with infamous far right people? Assuming you have then try videos by contrapoints or illuminautea (probably wrong spelling and I can't link because I'm on mobile) as ones that I personally have watched for an explanation, though there are many others
@@Jplays23 I have read some of what I understand to be her reviled tweets, and while they may have been less than diplomatic (and likely were influenced by her own history as a victim of abuse) I didn't take them as full-on transphobic, (thus my question about evidence) just concerned that there are situations in which a woman who had been, for instance, abused by a man, might not want a non-transitioned transwoman to be too close, at least in the short term, even though that person is truly and perfectly safe to be around and has nothing but the best of intentions. I don't think it's a simple situation, though, and Twitter is not a good place for nuance, of course, which is one reason I try to avoid it. And it's certainly possible I've missed more problematic tweets. I know nothing about Rowling funding hate groups (apart from HMRC...ha ha), but she certainly doesn't strike me as a Kid Rock-type, shooting cases of beer because the manufacturer had a trans person to appear in their Super Bowl ad. Now THAT was both hateful and frankly should have been embarrassing to him, but I fear he has little capacity for that. Perhaps I'm wrong. I don't think even THAT person should be unfairly vilified. I guess that's really my concern. I think there is room for discussion between the trans community and Rowling, though there's been a fair amount of bad blood already that could get in the way. Now, I can understand why the trans community is...I don't know what the proper word is...Tense? Frustrated? Impatient? All of the above and more? It's a VERY difficult world into which to be born trans, particularly with people acting like Kid Rock. But there are degrees of error, and differences of point of view that can exist without any malice intended, and people can say things that come across badly when they don't mean any derogation. Everyone is trying to figure things out as they go along, and the universe is very big and confusing and often frightening, even for billionaire authors...and, I suppose (trying to practice what I preach) for rock "stars", though I have less sympathy for the likes of Kid Rock. I'm not really interested in watching videos detailing a third party's take on such things--I'd rather watch videos about Doctor Who. I think it's more edifying. It certainly IS interesting to imagine what would be the current status of a former episode in which JKR appeared, given her currently being in bad odour with the trans community, to borrow a phrase from Hannibal Lecter. I find snideness and cattiness--whether against JKR or Mark Gatiss or whomever--to be other than impressive, but those little bits of personal distaste on my part are more than overshadowed by Harbo's excellent discussion, commentary and knowledge. Everyone has their own axes to grind, obviously, and he is of course, entitled to say what he wishes in the videos he makes. I know I always like them.
@@time_for_toast4922 I never said I don't care, you seem to have misread my reply. I'm not surprised you're illiterate, you support Rowling. Now tell me who asked.
Which facts are you talking about? Her support for Maya Forstater? Her Horrific opinion piece 'Terf wars' Calling trans healthcare a new form of 'conversion therapy' Her recent collaboration with members of the heritage foundation Her insinuation trans rights are 'a threat to women' Describing the trans rights movement as a 'powerful, insidious, misogynistic movement'. Oh wait, none of that is fact, it's all her own, unfiltered, dogshit opinion.
Nope she's transphobic because she pretends to be an ally whilst actively fighting pro trans legislation, presents opinions as "facts" and uses harmful rhetoric whilst crying "won't somebody think of the children"... Amongst other things.

Yeah, that's not what Rowling does.
I have also looked into some of the potential unmade stories that had been shelved for Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures and I really hope in his 2.0 era that Davies potentially picks up and adapts one of these. There was one that was bounced between both Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures that was intended to essentially be a single hander story featuring one character. It had 2 working titles. One called Checkout and the other called Supermarket Sweep. It would feature either Ianto Jones or Luke Smith having to battle an alien on their own in a supermarket with 0 support from anyone else and having to single handedly defeat this creature and stop whatever the threat was going to be only using the tools and resources available in the supermarket. It was meant to evoke the vibe of Die Hard and I think it is a really interesting concept and I really hope that Davies picks this back up again and adapts it for the main show and has it be a single hander episode for either the companion or a guest star and have the Doctor maybe show up in like the last 5 minutes not realising the threat has already been neutralised by someone else. Playing into the Doctor often being late or the TARDIS making the Doctor end up in the wrong place. Also I kind of really want a way for Luke Smith to be in the main show since he was always a brilliant character and I think he would have an interesting dynamic with the Doctor so it would be nice to have Luke come back for like 1 or 2 episodes in a guest role with maybe his reintroduction being the supermarket story. It's just an idea but I just really like the concept of it.
Imagine where we’d all be if a few more Chibnall-Era episodes had landed on this list instead of our TVs.
I thought there WAS a J K Rowling episode. She played the angry Meep in The Star Beast.
I did hear that War of the Sontarans and Village of the Angels were 2 planned stories for Series 13 anyway. Just rewrote and changed in parts to connect with the Flux storyline
Just realised, Davies actually did use "The Void" as inspiration for Wild Blue Yonder.
God do I wish I was in the universe where that Matt Berry monk story happened
Matt Berry Monk is still my most wanted, like I need it so badly (though Queenie probably wants it more...) and were it not for Barrowman being an idiot (and his relationship with Eccleston anyway), The Void could have ended up being done... Perhaps it'll be retooled one day or the Perfect Companion one done as an Unbound...
Okay. I need Matt Berry as The Monk in my life now.
With the Sir Gwaine episode could've been interesting if it was a sequel to Battlefield from S26
Like could tie it to a crack in time caused by a ghost shift/Mickey getting back to N-Space, causing the Doctor & Rose to arrive in the dimension that all the knights, Arthur & Morgaine came from.
Although i guess, having it be Episode 11 in the same series with the Rise Of The Cybermen/Age Of Steel + the dimension hopping already in Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday could be a tad repetitive (the whole get back from Pete's World and then few episodes later get back from Arthur's Dimension, then in the finale Daleks & void ship hiding in the void + cybermen and The Preachers from Petes World)
Irene what if we Cut out then getting back from Pete's world and have them land in arthur's world
So they fall through pete's world arthur's world before finally coming back out into n-space But Is the voice ship follows them back
While I don’t appreciate the low digs at Gatiss, The Suicide Exhibition is such a brilliant concept to have not have been made, honestly one of my most wanted pieces of Who… I know Nick Briggs has expressed interest in trying to adapt them to audio, so maybe not all is lost.
I’m glad someone else said this. I’m actually a big fan of Gatiss’s episodes myself, I love his style of Doctor Who story - but, regardless, it feels quite mean spirited whenever he points out his dislike for the guy.
Fir Bholg is pronounced as "Feer volg", at least it is here in Munster. Fairly sure it translates as Wounded Men but I could be wrong. Leaving Cert (A Level) Irish is really serving me well 🙄
I’m going to be honest here, the alien creature attaching itself to an author and warping reality into one based on their creations sounds like, well, a really cool idea. I actually want them to retool that, maybe for a fictional author or even another famous one from history. Imagine if it latched onto Roald Dahl, J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, Dr Seuss or even HP Lovecraft
The Doctor fighting wizards? Cool but we can do way better. The Doctor fighting full blown fantasy creatures, magic, dark gods, a world that defies all logic, the physical embodiment of death itself or even cosmic horrors beyond our comprehension? HELL YES
Oh god, doing it with Lovecraft could be... questionable. Let's just say that that guy had a lot of his mind besides Cthulhu.
@@FTZPLTC Fair point, maybe a modern day fictional cosmic horror author then?
Look I just want Doctor Who to do a cosmic horror story, ok? 😅

Interesting that you comment on she who cannot be named (without summoning a horde of trolls willing to argue in both directions).
There was never a script so it doesnt count as an unmade episode but RTD asked her if she'd like to write an ep when he took the reigns. She was amused but gave a very definitive no

@@travelservices1200is it that hard, even if you don't agree with their life style, just not to be mean to them?
Ok, you believe they're oddballs. They ain't harming anyone so just... leave them be? Not sure why Rowling can't do that, no one would care about her personal views if she just mentioned them once and didn't repeatedly harp on about nonsense about how bad they supposedly are.
@@matt4048 Just to be clear, I have NO problem at all with "their lifestyle"; not in the slightest. They should live and be well and try to be happy, and if they experience themselves as some particular gender, well, they know themselves better than I ever could, so I will take it as my starting point to accept a person's view of who and what they are. I am probably considered one of the most extreme "oddballs" among the people that I know, so it would be severe hypocrisy for me to disdain others as "oddballs". And incidentally, I don't "believe they're oddballs", certainly not in any negative sense. I believe they are humans, and all humans are different from all other humans who have ever existed. People aren't fungible; everyone is an oddball.
I was simply denigrating the notion (implicitly stated by terra4686) that hate could ever be a useful response to disagreement, and I quoted the Emperor from Star Wars to make my sarcastic point. It's perfectly reasonable to think Rowling is wrong, and even to think she is bigoted against trans people--though I'm not entirely convinced that's so. If it is, I would find it a character flaw, certainly, but I suspect that her own experiences with domestic violence and the like are behind her concern about things like having "pre-op" trans women work in rape counseling centers, for instance (at least for victims who do not feel safe around "biological males"). I consider the counselees' status as the victims of sexual violence supersedes--locally, in this SPECIFIC instance--the very well-intended and admirable desire of any given trans woman to do such important work. There are probably plenty of women who have no fear of trans women giving providing counseling for them, and there is plenty of such necessary work to go around, unfortunately. It is not an easy situation, and we can all wish there were no need for such counseling.
But I think the first commenter's statement that they think someone is "cool" for "hating Rowling" is worthy of at least a bit of snark (though it was probably not very productive of me). Hate closes the mind and corrodes society. I'll quote the 12th Doctor's final speech, in which he says, "Hate is always foolish, and love is always wise." Maybe it would be better if one tried to understand another's point of view--even if one does not agree with them--and then to have actual dialogue with that person, rather than throw out epithets and curses on the website formerly known as Twitter (or, indeed, on TH-cam). I also think you are right that Rowling should just drop this issue instead of allowing herself to be cast in the role of the antagonist to those who denigrate her. She's very clever with snarky remarks and so on--she is a brilliant writer--but I think it's almost never the case that one can win someone's understanding by winning a snarky debate (and I can see that I'm being a hypocrite here), so I think she's just making her position less convincing by getting into any schoolyard-style rhetoric.
I also agree with your third sentence without any reservation. If someone isn't harming anyone else, one should definitely let them be. Life is hard enough and the world is complicated and crazy enough already. I also think that many in the trans community would be better served to stop hating on Rowling but instead just to say, "Well, she's entitled to her opinion, but being a best-selling author doesn't involve any expertise that would make her especially likely to be right about this issue, and I think she's wrong. Now, let's get past that fruitless discussion and see what we can do to try to improve things, preferably for everybody." Thank goodness, life is not a zero-sum game.

Guys, thought experiment about Rowling here. Rowling's views on the trans issue weren't known back then (and I honestly don't think they were the same), so she could have lucked in to getting to write a Doctor Who episode.
If she had written an episode, would her detractors in this comment section try to retroactively disavow her episode from the fandom? Would you blindly label it as bad/off limits without considering its merits? Would Harbo do a video on that episode? Would you unsubscribe from his channel if he said positive things about her writing, especially considering the episode itself would contain nothing controversial?
Would like some answers please
I think most people would dislike it either way, because it's a bad idea for an episode. It's just sucking up to JK Rowling, regardless of the fact she would later be found out to be a bad person, writing a whole script about a well-known author just to get her to appear on the show is just plain cringeworthy.
People love unicorn and the wasp but the writer has said plenty of things on par with rowling. No you disavow the person, you can give credit to where it is deserved for the story and once you know their yikesy takes you would hope that the person doesn't get to write for the show in the future. Are you honestly hoping to have your questions answered or do you have an axe to grind?
I would have called the episode bad regardless of her being a cunt, it would have been bad.
People don't blindly label Rowling's writing as bad. They read it and analyse it first.

JK Rowling did nothing wrong
She's a privileged cunt, stop licking her boot.
She's made many aggressive posts on her X profile in the past that contain swearing, one notable example being when she "accidentally" pasted an offensive comment replying to a child. No matter what you think you have to admit that's a bit fucked up in the head for a famous children's author.
Never mind politics, she wrote bad books.
I would have loved to see j.k in doctor who. Just because she made a comment. She is hated, around the world, by some woke nonsence people. All she said was. There are two genders? That does not mean that she hates transgender... I love her
A few things, she said one her her friends was fired from her job for saying "a woman is a woman" when in fact, she was bullying trans people on her twitter account, which was very publicly linked to her place of work, her work then decided that because of how it was making them look, they would not renew her yearly contract. Her saying that she was fired for saying a woman is a women is untrue, why does JK insist that it was a mere question that got her fire, not deliberate bullying? Seems sus.
She supported the "rapid onset gender dysphoria" study, which took children who were by no means trans (one of them was thought to be trans because he played with a doll once, literally) then, after the study was done, all of the children who could not be contacted were considered to have de-transitioned, the problem, however is 1) There was no evidence they were trans to begin with, and 2) they had no evidence to suggest they de-transitioned. Anyone should be able to see how dishonest that study was, and how it was made to get a specific result. Her parroting that study thinking it is serious, unbiased, and accurate, is so staggeringly dishonest I can only assume malice.
"Woke nonsense" is baseline humanity, grow up and stop being such a snowflake.

@@Jplays23 I have read some of what I understand to be her reviled tweets, and while they may have been less than diplomatic (and likely were influenced by her own history as a victim of abuse) I didn't take them as full-on transphobic, (thus my question about evidence) just concerned that there are situations in which a woman who had been, for instance, abused by a man, might not want a non-transitioned transwoman to be too close, at least in the short term, even though that person is truly and perfectly safe to be around and has nothing but the best of intentions.
I don't think it's a simple situation, though, and Twitter is not a good place for nuance, of course, which is one reason I try to avoid it. And it's certainly possible I've missed more problematic tweets. I know nothing about Rowling funding hate groups (apart from HMRC...ha ha), but she certainly doesn't strike me as a Kid Rock-type, shooting cases of beer because the manufacturer had a trans person to appear in their Super Bowl ad. Now THAT was both hateful and frankly should have been embarrassing to him, but I fear he has little capacity for that. Perhaps I'm wrong. I don't think even THAT person should be unfairly vilified.
I guess that's really my concern. I think there is room for discussion between the trans community and Rowling, though there's been a fair amount of bad blood already that could get in the way. Now, I can understand why the trans community is...I don't know what the proper word is...Tense? Frustrated? Impatient? All of the above and more? It's a VERY difficult world into which to be born trans, particularly with people acting like Kid Rock. But there are degrees of error, and differences of point of view that can exist without any malice intended, and people can say things that come across badly when they don't mean any derogation. Everyone is trying to figure things out as they go along, and the universe is very big and confusing and often frightening, even for billionaire authors...and, I suppose (trying to practice what I preach) for rock "stars", though I have less sympathy for the likes of Kid Rock.
I'm not really interested in watching videos detailing a third party's take on such things--I'd rather watch videos about Doctor Who. I think it's more edifying. It certainly IS interesting to imagine what would be the current status of a former episode in which JKR appeared, given her currently being in bad odour with the trans community, to borrow a phrase from Hannibal Lecter. I find snideness and cattiness--whether against JKR or Mark Gatiss or whomever--to be other than impressive, but those little bits of personal distaste on my part are more than overshadowed by Harbo's excellent discussion, commentary and knowledge. Everyone has their own axes to grind, obviously, and he is of course, entitled to say what he wishes in the videos he makes. I know I always like them.
