the problem is that the extremists scream the loudest and consequently damage innocent the ones who just want to live their lives but just get caught in the crossfire of hate.
This 100% I mean I’m trans but I’m just sick of the bs from both sides honestly. Can’t we all just leave each other the heck alone to live our own lives peacefully. No of course we can’t we have to just attack each other all the darn time. Also because of stuff like this I get threats and abuse all the time for just living my life and keeping to myself
I believe bigotry all stems from 3 things, ignorance, arrogance and insecurity. Ignorance in not hearing the facts, arrogance in thinking You're always right and insecurity in fearing what you don't understand. I was mad at first because I thought she said Trans people didn't exist or something but I Knew that I didn't Know all the details so I kept my mouth shut. You know what they say about people who ass-u-me. But a part of me feels bad for the lgbtq community, of course they over reacted. Of course they did, why wouldn't they when All they have Ever known is immediate rejection from society, not to mention from their own kind must hurt the most because most people who hate gays are gay themselves and are unable to accept that because of how society has treated that group of people so they lash out literally at their own kind. It's truly heartbreaking because I see republicans do it all the time, they can't cope with being gay so when they can't hold it in anymore yet can't let it out, we get this.

At this point I'd be satisfied if the LGBTQ Community and straights just left each alone it's not perfect but both sides are just so far gone I fear it's the best outcome any of us can hope for
6:59 despite my joke. JK Rowling never deserved this, she’s said things I don’t 100% agree with but the important point of disagreement with someone is that you never wish them harm(JK never strikes me as the kind of person who means any harm to anyone….maybe that naive of me). However if a group can’t separate valid Critique and concerns from hatred then I think we need to have a discussion as to why that is first because it’s not healthy. I’m autistic and there are things I hear all the time that I don’t necessarily like or agree with but I don’t jump down people’s throats for voicing those thoughts. Something I think is important for a fully functional person to do is, if something is said that you don’t like then you need to figure out the spirit in which it’s said in and if you can’t tell maybe take it as the best possible version of what’s being said since if you read this comment maybe you interpret that I’m angry or sad or happy, I got no clue how you’re interpreting it but I’d hope you read this as me trying to be constructive(while also covering my bases).
As a fellow neurodivergent person (ADD and ADHD) it’s always struck me that so many people seem to feel the need to completely agree or completely reject a person, an idea, a point of view. That deep-seated need to dissect and simultaneously take very literally, and then jump to conclusions is… weird to me. Why this unwillingness to see nuance? Same as you, I don’t agree with all of JK Rowling’s views. Why should I have to? Why expect perfection “because she’s in the public eye”? Why reject scientific articles and solid research because something else she said might not mesh 100% with my views? Maybe it’s my neurodivergence that causes me to see a lot of nuances where so many others don’t see them. Maybe it’s my years of traveling from early childhood onwards, living in cultures different from my home country’s. Maybe I’m just weird. But I shy away from rejecting someone’s utterances outright and at face value. Instead, I tend to dive down a rabbit hole of research to check the facts that may lay behind those utterances, if there is a solid basis behind them whilst always being aware of the dangers of confirmation bias. It’s how I was raised and how I roll. Take away the emotional aspects and reactions, and look at it as objectively as I possibly can. I’m fully aware that this seemingly contradicts my statement about people feeling the need to dissect, because I’m dissecting myself when I dive down those rabbit holes. The difference is keeping one’s head cool. Anyhow, cutting short a long ramble that probably doesn’t make a lick of sense to a lot of people. There are always a lot of things and facets to consider and it seems to me that emotions often get in the way. It makes sense to me to look at the good, the bad, the ugly and the sad. To consider the dangers and the drawbacks of a movement, to acknowledge the possible consequences. Precious few people seem to do that. My great-grandma’s wise advice was: “Even if you think someone is worth hating, REALLY listen to what they’re saying. You might learn something. Even if you think someone is worth loving and following to the ends of the Earth, REALLY listen to what they’re saying. It might scare you.”
My biggest concern isn’t specifically about jk Rowling or the trans community This is a much bigger issue where not agreeing 100% with certain people / ideas can make you look villainess. And this really can apply with any group / view. Even if we agree or disagree, part of what helps this is things like the wording and voice tone, and especially not expecting everyone to agree. But understanding is still possible, just not as much in this day and age I just miss when there was a time, I could watch a movie / tv show, or play a video game, that was just based on fun. Nothing more nothing less. But this too seems to be lacking :(
Eh, you shouldn't be loyal to someone just because they did a good thing to you once. However what she "did" isn't anything that deserves the level of hate and vitriol she received by people who adored her for years to the point where they are trying to erase her from her own creation. As for the actors where i think they really show their bad side is, that they've known JK for years and probably know that she isn't a hateful or bigoted person yet throw her overboard in order to save themselves from any backlash of the Twitter mob
@@DeathstroketheTerminator If it had just been that one comment I would've agreed. But then she went on to support people on the far right and give money to politicians who are actively trying to make life hell for trans people. That is unforgivable. She also stooped to Holocaust denial to own trans people at one point. So, there's that.
JK rowling made my childhood what it is, I am 30, so I even grew up with the movies and books of course. I always found it funny that people tried to cancel her. I'll always be a potter head.
@bradleybrown8428 Safety would entail that only actual trans people be allowed to use the bathroom of their identified gender. Those in a WPATH program
As long as they aren’t pushing an agenda or making certain decisions for the sole purpose of making an extra dollar for an executive that is probably a horrible, greedy human being
@@Samherbe954being gay is not an agenda also Hermione is an autistic coded character anyway and if you disagree that's totally valid. However then I'd encourage you to go do some research on autism and then reread the books with this in mind. 🏳️🌈♾️
The original casts time in this world is over. The movies will always be beloved classics, but the actors are now irrelevant to the future of the franchise. I look forward to the coming T.V series, and a more accurate and complete versions of the books I have loved since high school.
I don't agree with people saying she's transphobic. As someone who is LGB, I agree with her on a lot of things. What she's saying is; socially you can identify how you want, but we can't shy away from discussing things when it comes to biology, and the social impact of biological women having their once safe species taken away, or the lunacy of letting a five year old take hormone blockers. As a biological female, I refuse to give in to those things society has made acceptable IF it causes harm to children, or another group of people.
@@Chris47629The way it’s going, it’s gonna have every letter of the alphabet in 10 years. Also it’s very disingenuous when the idea of LGBTQ+ is being framed as everyone who is in those categories is of one mind. So online if people make statements about what trans people want, or how they should be treated, it’s then expected that every gay person, or every bisexual person also holds these opinions so if you disagree you’re being hateful to the entire community. Also certain areas of the trans community online has become quite ludicrous and there are plenty of people “within the community” who would tell you that as a whole it’s becoming toxic and hostile to anyone who doesn’t fall in line.
Thanks for dropping the T as its the most nonsensical part of it all. Not saying the rest isn't obviously temporary through the guidance of Christ Jesus.
@@carinadavison5087I noticed today it’s now LGBTQIA… constantly just adding, in another 10 years it’ll be half the alphabet. It’s also insincere cos they use this grouping as a shield to make it seem like anyone who is one of those things shares the same beliefs. I know a lot of gay people who don’t even like the vocal online community
Hi there, I just wanted to comment on some of the things you said. This comment will probably be a bit lengthy but I do welcome you to debate if you find that helpful! Before even starting my deeper reply, I wanted to clarify that my information here is based on my own experience as a transgender person, and on reading I have done prior. I don't have any sources to cite at the present, but I could get some if you want. Firstly, the fact that you used LGB implies that you yourself are a not transgender person. While in some contexts dropping the T can be considered transphobic, I'm going to assume you just wanted to make clear you are not a transgender person yourself. That however did confuse me because you made it appear as though being lesbian, gay or bisexual gives one the credit to discuss trans people rights as an expert. I would disagree with this as, presuming you don't have a degree in relating areas, that would mean it isn't a great basis for an argument. Now, while it is true that biologically transgender women can never be exactly the same as cisgender women, this should not be a basis for discrimination(notable exceptions: I agree there are a few sports where being transgender might give you an actual advantage due to bonestructure). Furthermore, safe spaces are not being "taken away" from women. I can think of no strong arguments why trans women can't be allowed in for example dressing rooms and restrooms; after all, they are women, even if they aren't cisgender. Some people might comment on this by stating that a cisgender man could pretend to be a transgender woman to get into women's spaces. To that I would react that sadly such a man might very well accomplish the same disgusting things whilst not pretending to be transgender. Additionally, cisgender women can also commit such crimes(if rarer), and they and transgender women would probably both be removed from such spaces if they actually did engage in such bestial behaviours. Next, hormone blockers are not prescribed to five year olds. If there is a known occurrence of such a thing that was probably done illegally or through a loophole. Puberty blockers are usually assigned when puberty starts and during the puberty itself. These blockers are not proven to have any lasting effects. Hormones such as estrogen and testosterone can be ascribed in some countries from as early as the age of 15, if they have had a proper medical diagnosis. And surgery, something transphobes frequently say is performed on young kids, typically only happens after people become 18, with an exception I know of being breast removal having been done at 16 after medical diagnosis and a year of being on testosterone. I want to make clear that I am not saying that you yourself believe that this is the case, but as I have heard such arguments used frequently I thought to debunk them prior to their possible usage. Lastly, I wholeheartedly agree that society should not normalise things harming children or groups of people. However, as stated previously, transgender people (as a group, not individually(there probably are pervert transgender people, as there are in any group of people)) don't harm kids. And additionally, some of the statements made by JK Rowling and quite a lot of legislature does harm transgender people; a group of people. And as you said, which I agree with, society should not make things acceptable which harm groups of people. Now I hope that you will read my arguments here carefully, and if you wish to reply, ask any questions, or further up the debate, I am very much open to it. P.S. sorry that this comment is so long
Thank you Dean for staying here for us the ones who are still here and have never thought of unsubscribing. I wish you all the best in the immediate future and your family. Stay safe and take care.
It because the leftists believe either you agree with them 100% or your the up most evil . They never allow themselves to look at their ideas from the prospective of people who disagree with them leading to the belief they are right and you are wrong and evil
I don’t understand grudges and unnecessary drama, life is hard enough - can’t we all just get on and not hold on to negativity! Thank you for the update ❤
Well spoken and I will most definitely not be unsubscribing. Honestly, nothing JK has said is transphobic. All she has done is say that the rights of woman should not be diminished to suit the wants, not needs or rights, of the trans community. Completely fair point if you ask any sane person.
Dude, you and JK Rowling are legends. Don't let the haters bring you down. That boycott ain't nothing because I just came back from Universal Studios and the sections for Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley were just as packed as ever. The line for Hagrid's motorbike ride was a 3 hour wait! I still love the movies, and while I think it was kind of spineless on the parts of Dan and Emma, I still love them unconditionally.
It's pathetic how those who spew hate are the ones who claim relentlessly that it is Rowling who hates trans individuals and wants to see harm come to them when there is no evidence whatsoever to support such views. Just because facts don't please does not mean they are erroneous.
@@jaquandrejones First of all nice name it’s close to mine you got my last name too which is strange but uh she wasn’t being transphobic dawg if they got man genitalia they can still do man things with it if they have a girl one I don’t think anyone would care and it’s not wrong if it’s not being transphobic 😐
@@SpikeyXSTheRedHood I didn't say that was transphobic. Dying on the hill that transitioned women can never be recognized as women, is transphobic. She wouldn't even want someone having different pronouns on Twitte. That isn't looking out for kids. That's being hateful for no reason.
@@tinglelingaling6 Same. It's just sad how it all fell apart for the three and Rowling's relationship, because the main three chose clout and win points over an actual, long standing friendship.
@@TsukabuNosoratori2 Most celebrities are too afraid of being cancelled to say what they really think. It is sad. Careers are worth more than friendships it seems.
The fact that Daniel sits there as a man and calls Jo not empathetic is rich. Men will never know the fear women have a public restrooms. Thanks Dean for not backing down in your support for women. We have a long way to claw back this absolute misogyny of the last decade and need all the good men we can get.
@xWriterclarenocturnexx What I get is you are DISCRIMINATING against transwomen. You are PREJUDICED as a whole. You think when regular men go into a woman's bathroom, it has to be for some perverted reason. You consider transwomen to be men, not realizing why they transitioned to begin with, and assume the same intentions. All based on nothing.
@berniethekiwidragon4382 WHY do you THINK that women HAVE to practice situational awareness & self defense for!? It’s the current world we live in, now - you don’t see it? If you don’t, then you’re blind! What if your daughter, sister, female friend, cousin, colleague, wife, and GOD FORBID Your own mother gets assaulted by some CREEP who wants to use the guise of transitioning just to target women?? Get back to us later when someone gets hurt or kidnapped!!
@berniethekiwidragon4382 thanks for telling people what to think and believe. Violence in the real world exists, racial, sexual and religious. But you do you safe from those irrational fears. Hope you get to stay safe in your bubble.
Don't let them get you down! They attack anybody with different opinions or try to hold them accountable, thanks for all the videos that you do keep up the good work!
When I heard all the fuss, I actually looked up what she said, and I couldn't believe people got upset. It was all quite sensible. I didn't see anything that was hateful at all, so I never understood why people were upset. I thought I was missing something. Then the Hogwarts Legacy harassment campaign happened. Made me realize that it was probably just blown out of proportion by a few people.
I can't understand why the cast of Harry Potter dare to attack Rowling and pretend they don't owe their careers to her. Without Harry Potter they would not be what they are today. And changing/altering one's body is not without risks ever.
@ladycplum Final approval my ass. These kids made their careers themselves. She can go kick rocks. Nobody said they wanted to apologize. She just has wishful thinking.
Thank you for your series and the platform for our discussions. I do support JKR and her wisdom and her right to express herself. This cancelling stuff needs to be cancelled.
Daniel and Emma wouldn’t have the fame the money and their lifestyle without jk Rowling and she has the right to her opinion and her opinion is based on real facts
Im lgbt, and was able to read what she was saying. This cancel culture and pc fear of saying our opinions is mental to me. I believe we should be able to express our opinions freely and have healthy debates/talks on some of the topics mentioned.
I thought so. Even when I first learned of this three years ago, I *never* entirely agree she was transphobic. Glad people are finally understanding that.
Thank you for this video! I do not have any social media except fb and I remember being confused four years ago about the whole situation. I had not read anything of the original tweets so I decided to stay out of it. To not have an opinion. I gained a little bit more information about it as the years passed and I knew of fans trying to cancel her and Harry Potter. This video made it clearer to me what she wanted to say. I also would like to know what happened to your channel so I will be looking forward to your next video!
What people don’t understand is that people love the characters Rowling created and not necessarily the people that played the parts. Rowling will survive and when they tried and failed to get rid of her the movies have paid a price and I’m guessing that the actors will as well
Good for her. They were all snakes. Soon as the climate got heated they lashed out and bit the hand that fed them. The hand that made their entire careers.
Don't worry , there are more people who are aware of that than you know . there are even trans people who are completely anti-woke . Common sense is accessible to everyone that embraces it 💁♀
Very well said. It seems to me like Emma and Daniel just jumped on the latest train because they thought it would be headed towards the next station in human development. Unfortunately for them, they should have researched before giving statements. Everything Rowling said was valid! When you said she made an anti-transitioning statement I wanted to say "hoooold your horses! That's not anti- she is just concerned about certain developments, not transitioners themselves." She is so misunderstood and it breaks my heart
Daniel and Emma should remember. Out of the thousands of kids who auditioned for those roles. She chose them. And changed their lives for the best. And now they’re either being strong armed, or letting their egos get in the way.
It really gets on my nerves how the trans community is so uptight. I do understand it is a massive thing to undergo and it must be so hard to do so but that does not give you the right to shove it in peoples faces and make out that every single person on the earth is against you because this is simply not true. Respect other peoples rights and you will earn the same in return
Well said! I feel people have the right to do what they wish. I am a memember of the medical community, and know that transitioning is a medical choice, so just like with everything, people need to be scientifically and medically informed, once they choose, it's on them for the outcome. However, they do not get to wipe out my human rights and identity as a biological woman. You do not have to agree 100% with a movement to still love and support them, and I do feel J.K. Rowling made her opinion very clear and showed her support. To go after her and try to have her canceled in my opinion was just vindictive, and that is the part that I disagree with.
I agree with her. They can shove their apologies. They bit the hand that fed them, and now they're reaping what they've sowed. They would be nobodies if JK had not decided to turn the novels into films. And as I get older, when I watch the films I see so many scenes those two were in that had some cringe-worthy acting. (And Emma's acting has always been a bit cringe-worthy). So they should still be thanking their lucky stars she gave them their big break.
@@Chris47629you can apply this logic to JK. She criticised the organisation “mermaids” for spreading false information and being oddly enthusiastic towards wanting children to be trans. Going as far as to encouraging them to consider hormone blockers and sex changes before they’re even teenagers.
Radicalized ideology is the problem here, not J.K. It's so unbelievable the backlash she had from the trans community despite a group of trans people saying she was right and it was just scientific facts! Also the collateral damage to every Harry Potter based content creators like you had.
im over all this bullshit, ACTUAL members of the LGBT know that she didnt mean no harm. what she said is true. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE TRANSITIONING, u should be over 21 to make those kind of life changing decisions
First and foremost:take care of yourself/hope you continue to feel better Hate you were attacked but ignore people,keep speaking the truth and giving your opinions As for me staying subed
The actors brought this on themselves. I agree with JK Rowling. I have cerebral palsy, and I've been through more surgeries than a trans individual will need. The last thing a child (teen or not) should go through is surgery. Unless they absolutely need it, the option is unnecessary.
Luckily in most countries such surgeries can only be performed after turning 18, though in some from the age of 16(with a runnign diagnosis trajectory and lenghty psychologicak evaluation). Also, while I don't want to disregard your experience with surgeries due to your cerebral palsy, I just wanted to mention that for a lot of trans people these surgeries are necessary to live with themselves(look up trans people self oofing and mutilation numbers, they are not pretty). I do agree that if you don't need the surgery you shouldn't get it!
This just drives me insane I mean I’m trans but I’m just sick of the bs from both sides honestly. I mean it’s always pick a side with people… why? I just don’t even. Tbh I don’t think there is anyone in the right here as they have all gone about it pathetically. The harm from all this really does come from both sides becoming much more radicalised, I have personally kept to myself in all of this and yet I still get abuse from the daily from just existing. I have literally done nothing to anyone at all and I wouldn’t ever because that’s wrong period. Can’t we all just leave each other the heck alone to live our own lives peacefully. No of course we can’t we have to just attack each other all the darn time. Also because of stuff like this I get threats and abuse all the time for just living my life and keeping to myself
I'm not trans but I stand with the trans and lbtq+ community. I feel so stuck in a void about it all and wishes that I didn't have to feel that I "need" to pick a side. I love the world that have been created, but I think the author could have looked more up before she wrote. She had said what she said. I don't agree with it but I want to move past it. There are a more authors that are controversial but people still read their books. 🤷♀ I'm not sayin what is right or wrong, I just think the whole thing is sad.
I'm against the stupid alphabet cult BECAUSE of the trans freaks and the "oppression" the rest of the cult uses to justify their hatred and harassment. Blame yourselves for the hatred YALL WANTED, because now you got it.
@blacknonbinarydisabledlesbian You're honestly a very disturbed and deranged individual, and from the things I have seen you spouting, I sincerely hope that you can get therapy as you seem to hold some very dangerous ideologies. I mean it's a slippery slope for sure. To instigate hatred and violence against ANY group at all is very very dangerous. To lum any group at all as a one size fits all approach is how genocides and other horrendous things happen. Please think about what you're doing and don't judge and condem an entire group of people from the actions of extremists. Trust me when i say the type of trans person you're referring to doesn't speak for the vast majority in the slightest, and most would just want to live their lives quietly and do their own thing. They are not interested in children or converting them nor doing absurd acts against women etc. When you see the idiots spouting that please be aware that they are extremists and the majority of trans people reject them too as disgusting cretins. I wish you the best although I digress I expect abuse in return haha
@@J8922-o4v No I completely agree, there should be no sides. Live and let live as most people (both LGBT and not) just want to live their own lives in peace. We as a human collective need to ignore the idiots who should the loudest as they tend to have their own agenda and do not represent a group as a collective. I hope it’s safe to say that goes for pretty much any group
I hope JK and the cast of the Golden Trio will b on speaking terms again. To eventually being friends again. I'll never unsubscribe Dean. Do feel better soon.
Both Emma and Daniel could have made statements supporting trans individuals without throwing JK under the bus. They just look like ungrateful little brats. This whole situation is just noise and doesn't benefit anyone.
Honestly I always thought that her words were taken out of context, when I read them I thought it was valid that she made sure people understood that there are concerns and downsides you had to take in consideration and need to be addressed
I've been saying it for 4 years, but cancel culture gets out of hand very quickly. It also was mostly non-trans people deciding what should be offensive to trans people. I tried mostly to stay out of whether I agreed with J.K. or not. It wasn't a safe place, because I am in the trans rights corner but there is really hard scientific evidence to support the fact that it does come with some serious risk. That said, whether I agree or don't agree with the author. It didn't make me turn my back on the series. Denying the Harry Potter books would be like denying a very big part of what got me through a rather lonely and sad childhood. So I always took the stance of love the books, indifference to the author. I did not however agree with the way some of the actors handled it. They are what really gave the cancel movement power. If you are a celebrity your words have power, you need to be responsible for them.
Same, I stand with trans and lbtq+ community all day, everyday and the fandom of harry potter. The auther. meh - Couldn't care less. There are more authors that have done and said some really crappy things and I know that I support them indirectly by buying their books and so on. But what can I do? I like them and whant to read and watch things I enjoy. I cancel all of humanity, yep even myself. I'm just tired of all of it. Do I have to pick a side...?🤷♀
What author wouldn't want their readers to immediately burn the copy they purchased? That way nobody can buy that copy 'used', for which the author gets nothing.
I have recommended your channel to a lot of people. I appreciate your forthrightness about lgbtqia plus polkadot Two plus spirit trans stuff. And I love Harry Potter
Don't make the same mistake that Watson and Radcliffe did and generalize. I am a transsexual woman but on the conservative side. I never faulted Rowling for the exact words she said and have similar views. Since I am not alone and members of the LGBT community aren't all woke, let's rephrase your argument and use the woke adjective, instead of being a member of the LBGT community to attribute behavior and beliefs. We aren't all woke.
i remender getting death threats on facebook 4 years ago, being called an "transphobic brick how should jump of a bridge", simple because i said that i dont agree with everything the trans community belives. As a gay men that was kinda ironic getting so much hate from some people you scream for acceptance Ps keep up the good work i really like your chanel
Are you ignoring the very real possibility of unsavoury men taking advantage of this especially when people say you can be trans without surgery or saying you can't assume based off appearance.
I’m not ignoring the possibility; it isn’t happening now. Not in the US, at least, about which I can speak. I actually agree that just doling out gender changes in the latest Gender Recognition Act without a real transition isn’t wise. Real trans women shouldn’t be harassed, either. Dawn Ennis, who’s been post op for quite a time, was harassed in Atlanta by one Posie Parker and a group of followers about using a women’s room. The encounter is on TH-cam, by the way. It seemed quite deliberate. It’s a real condition for some people. It’s not a whim, I would agree, and should not be encouraged as such. Just please don’t end up conflating trans trending with real gender dysphora (what used to be called gender identity disorder)
@@Markus2E5I6let’s be real about this. If someone is going to do something awful like that then they’re going to do it regardless of gender or single sex bathrooms. Keeping trans women out of womens bathrooms isn’t going to prevent scummy people doing awful things
I thing they should stay away and have no more opinions on it. She made them and they crapped on her. JK Rowling has a right to stand up for females rights.
Good lad, you've had my respect for a long while and I've been subscribed for a long time and I applaud you for standing by your convictions. Funnily enough I've never really been a fan of Harry Potter, which may raise the question of why I'm subscribed to you 😂 in all honesty it's because I like the lengths you go to, to deepdive into the source material and while it hasn't really changed my opinion on Rowling's ability as an author, I enjoy your content. I respect Rowling for standing by her convictions on the subject also as I find too many celebrities like Radcliffe and Watson are so far removed from reality that they just go with whichever way the wind blows in Hollywood and Watson especially is so ignorant and narcissistic it honestly disgusts me that she feels she has any right to tell people what's right and wrong knowing that it doesn't affect her anyway as long as it keeps her in the public eye because as far as my opinion goes she's an extremely mediocre actress and probably senses that her relevance is diminishing rapidly as she ages and probably just wants to stay in Hollywood's good books because lord knows her lack of talent won't carry her 😂 it makes it worse in my opinion that Watson is also an advocate of "feminism" which is just so disingenuous given her stance on transitioning. But that is enough of my ranting. I don't believe in hating people for believing what they choose to believe, that's their business but trying to force your beliefs on others is where I draw the line. Everyone has the right to choose but if you try to take away that right from someone else just to validate your own beliefs, that is so wrong and despicable. Anyway rant really over this time. Just kind of got carried away. Just wanted to let you know that I'll stand with you to the end ☺️
Despite I agree with JKR's views I still believe that the actors(except Rupert Grint) shouldn't have called her out because she was the reason people recognize them as famous celebrities. I don't care about their opinions but still calling the same author who made you the famous celebritiess you are today is just wild.
It would take a very mature person to acknowledge that he has been wrong with his views and accusations and actually to make a public apology. Pointing with this especially to Radcliff who very much has "mansplained" how Rowling don't have medical degree and thus has no place to give comments about trans which are contrary to views of main medical institutions (which are since fall down or changed their transpolicies). Also he had intentionally misunderstood all these years what Rowling has said and thus reveals that he doesn't know her at all even when he pretend otherwise - or he is just a selfish idiot, which is also possibility. Also I'd think that HP fanbase has huge amount of girls and women who are facing downside of transpolicies and he - and his co-actors - don't mind at all their feelings and rights.
Thank you for making this video. I have supported your channel since I first found it. Thank you for being honest and open. Extremists of ANY kind are just toxic. I am saddnened when you tell us about the hate you have endured simply for enjoying Harry Potter so much. I love your channel and I hope you keep making videos. In fact, I am on another Harry Potter read through of all 7 books. I will always enjoy Harry Potter youtube content.
Anyway sorry for the rant but you will always have my support and I don’t plan to ever unsubscribe from your channel cause of what you do and have been doing for years for the fandom ❤
No, silence is not ignorance. It's self preservation . Unfortunately it seems that youu can't voice an opinion or fact without getting backlash. I agree with her 100% . Please don't crucify me me for what I 'm about to say: though it's said that none of them would speak to her ever again but J.K knows her own worth and she doesn't need people prone to backstab others just like that. She had gone through so much already .
I’m just going to say this and I’m not taking sides with anyone cause I have family and friends that are transgender. But this has gotten way out of control honestly,I mean kids have been targeted for liking Harry Potter and people who don’t pick a side are made into monsters and villains. Again I’m a huge supporter of the community and the Harry Potter series,I’m also a huge supporter of this channel it has helped me through some issues and dark times including several breakups. All I’m saying is leave people alone who have stated that they don’t want to take sides,but above all stop targeting content creators and their families because they aren’t involved in this argument that has gotten way too out of control children are innocent and shouldn’t have to be afraid of being targeted by strangers or to even step outside their own homes.
What I never understood about this whole thing is that if jk Rowling was opened to having dumbledore be gay and in love with grindelwald why would people think she's not opened minded and fair she is and she's just addressing being safe if we all want fair treatment we have to be opened minded even to safety too
I have to say that, after all these years, this is the very first time I’ve heard about J. K. Rowling’s comments addressing the biomedical aspects of this controversy, and almost the first mention I’ve ever heard of these “puberty blockers” and other treatments at all. While I still maintain that the author’s comments were complex and contentious, rather than purely good or evil, I do have to say that this indicates some pretty biased reporting on the part of her detractors and the mainstream media, since these objections both change the context for remarks, and are more substantial than mere statements of opinion.
Well I for one am so sick of this crap. I have my own beliefs and I give people the rights to their beliefs. I support Rowling and she even backed it up with science. Makes me like her even more. Now for your channel. I can't afford to contribute money but you don't give a crap about that. I have 2 Harry Potter channels I follow and yours was the first. So I am not going anywhere. This is one of my favorite channels so keep up being you.
to start with, everyone is entitled to their opinion! As i mentioned before on another video on this channel, i was going to go down the route of M to F transition, but time, money, and health were not on my side, so i decided not to (this means that i feel that i know what im talking about). There is physical gender, and mental gender (aka Gender Identity), the extreme Ttrans community is trying to blur the lines between those, or even delete the first, this must not heppen! More specifically for under the age of consent and proper thought and decision making, well thats a grey area, people are different, children even more so, some may not be ready at 13 to make the right choice, but some may be ready. Im not sure even the best psychotherapists or analysts can even judge correctly.
I'm not unsubscribing at all, I looked up Harry Potter lore TH-camrs and found 2 and I watched multiple videos of yours and the others and I chose and still choose you. BTW nothing against the other guy I liked him but I preferred YOU. I definitely hope you keep making videos
I feel regretful about this development. I have never agreed with the condemnation of J. K. Rowling and dislike that these relationships have deteriorated.
I believe everybody should be entitled to their own opinion, your own opinion is sacred, pro or against it don't matter, it's part of living in free country. Though it's nice to have people speaking for the rights of a minority, they cross a fine line when they try to; wreck someone's career over their own personal opinion, try to cancel a franchise that doesn't even bare subtext to the Creator's own beliefs, harass someone until they agree or at least pretend to agree. There's a fine line between being an activist who wants to genuinely fight for their or other's rights and an extremist that resorts to bullying someone for their own 15 minutes of fame. The sad thing that it's these fundamentalists who attack others and forcibly cram their way of life down another's throat that in turn undo the hard work and respect that prior activism had fought hard to achieve. All in all if they want respect, peace and equality then they need to show they are capable of giving that to others, regardless of belief and opinion.
So basically JK Rowling did nothing wrong but overly sensitive people went into a tism fit That sounds about right Look if someone is Trans thats fine you do yoy live your best life but dont get upset whem someone comes at you with scientific facts and leaves their personal feelings on the matter at the door I'm never gonna gst into my feelings on the whole Transgender thing because no matter what i was to say i guarantee you someone will get offended
I hope you feel better soon, Dean, just make sure you're drinking enough water and getting as much rest as you need! One day I hope that JK and Daniel can at least talk to each other, if not to make up at least to have some proper closure, but I highly doubt it'll ever happen with Emma; she's become far too egotistical to admit she was ever wrong and it's sad but not uncommon with former child stars. Not really sure where the rest of them stand but I can only hope they keep it civil if they do speak on it, they owe her that much respect at the very least.
J.K.Rowling, the woman who based. I won't agree with her in all points but she sticking to her guns, although she's got the power and money to do so. Emma Watson got so tied up in being an activist because her childhood was lost to the movie series, so easily manipulated. Daniel, didn't seem as public with it but I know he made some statement against Rowling's opinions/statements. Maybe it's a bias but he seemed like he wanted to be on the fence, or even take the route where he feels like he would please the most people, get people to like him because he can't have people hate him. Either way, still manipulated. Daniel, could maybe listen to his apology but not Emma. Her 'activism' is a shroud for arrogance and hatred, like many others. So many celebrities have this circular problem where, because they're famous, people listen. Since people listen, and put them on a pedestal, their opinions are given weight, hollow as it is. So this weight gives these celebrities a false sense of intelligence, like their opinion or statements are actually intelligent or well thought. Thus, they make more, people follow it blindly, and the cycle goes on.
hello dean or harry potter folklore, all i just wanna say is i commented this before and i’ll comment again, i’ll never unsubscribe from this channel ever , i’ll remain harry potter for life, harry potter forever, that’s how i’ll feel about you. As for jk, i just understand what’s going on and how i feel on it, aren’t there other people feel empathy to jk, i mean i’m pretty sure that there are others that feel bad about jk after all she was the first one to ever turn this franchise before this problem began into books and since then they gone off with a storm, my brother rea the books, my sister read the books, jk went massive ever since back in the day and since then, then they became movies and ever since the movies began and along the way i began watching the movies and collected them, i became infatuated with it, even though i began watching the movies and never read the books, i remain harry potter for life. As for emma and dan all i care about is if they’re done they’re done, i’m not gonna make a problem with it, it’s what emma and dan feel and if that’s what emma and dan feel then i guess that’s it. As for me on jk i definitely feel empathetic, i understand this is hard and everyone can’t fathom with this and in these times i’m now reading the books and i’m on year 3 chapter 4 so i have a long way to go to finish it, but no one ever say to do something with those books, i began reading the franchise and i don’t want to deal with the crap to jk to me! like i said i’m harry potter for life, harry potter forever, no one deals with what’s going on with this franchise and gets away with it, you involved with me, well i dare you try, i’m not break down the way you broke jk, jk i’m with you all the way, dean-harry potter folklore i’m with all the way, we will never go down, never give up, let’s show them what we’re made of, me, dean and jk let’s fight, you mess with us, bring it on!

I mean I’m trans but I’m just sick of the bs from both sides honestly.
Can’t we all just leave each other the heck alone to live our own lives peacefully. No of course we can’t we have to just attack each other all the darn time. Also because of stuff like this I get threats and abuse all the time for just living my life and keeping to myself
I believe bigotry all stems from 3 things, ignorance, arrogance and insecurity. Ignorance in not hearing the facts, arrogance in thinking You're always right and insecurity in fearing what you don't understand. I was mad at first because I thought she said Trans people didn't exist or something but I Knew that I didn't Know all the details so I kept my mouth shut. You know what they say about people who ass-u-me. But a part of me feels bad for the lgbtq community, of course they over reacted. Of course they did, why wouldn't they when All they have Ever known is immediate rejection from society, not to mention from their own kind must hurt the most because most people who hate gays are gay themselves and are unable to accept that because of how society has treated that group of people so they lash out literally at their own kind. It's truly heartbreaking because I see republicans do it all the time, they can't cope with being gay so when they can't hold it in anymore yet can't let it out, we get this.

@DefileOdds seems pretty legitimate, to be fair :)
At this point I'd be satisfied if the LGBTQ Community and straights just left each alone it's not perfect but both sides are just so far gone I fear it's the best outcome any of us can hope for
Logic of a lot of people nowadays sadly: "everyone is free to have their opinion, as long as I have the same opinion."
If I had a drink I'd raise a toast to you!
Yeah, it feels like that, in my opinion, one of the reasons why I'm staying Neutral though all of this
@@johnathantufano8068 I think Rupert was with the others at first, but he's staying out of things this time.
@ladycplum yeah I don't blame him to be honest. He's trying to stay neutral though all of this too I'm guessing
It's less that and more "everyone is free to have an opinion and I'm free to judge them for their opinions"
6:59 despite my joke. JK Rowling never deserved this, she’s said things I don’t 100% agree with but the important point of disagreement with someone is that you never wish them harm(JK never strikes me as the kind of person who means any harm to anyone….maybe that naive of me). However if a group can’t separate valid Critique and concerns from hatred then I think we need to have a discussion as to why that is first because it’s not healthy. I’m autistic and there are things I hear all the time that I don’t necessarily like or agree with but I don’t jump down people’s throats for voicing those thoughts. Something I think is important for a fully functional person to do is, if something is said that you don’t like then you need to figure out the spirit in which it’s said in and if you can’t tell maybe take it as the best possible version of what’s being said since if you read this comment maybe you interpret that I’m angry or sad or happy, I got no clue how you’re interpreting it but I’d hope you read this as me trying to be constructive(while also covering my bases).
You make more sensible than a lot of people nowadays. Not only on this topic , but many political topics.
Yeah i agree with that. I don't fully agree with J.K. but i agree the state of everything going on is a bit unhealthy
You know JK Rowling has also been wishing harm on people right?
@@Cantskatemcd Show me where she said that. Links to moments where that happened.
As a fellow neurodivergent person (ADD and ADHD) it’s always struck me that so many people seem to feel the need to completely agree or completely reject a person, an idea, a point of view. That deep-seated need to dissect and simultaneously take very literally, and then jump to conclusions is… weird to me. Why this unwillingness to see nuance?
Same as you, I don’t agree with all of JK Rowling’s views. Why should I have to? Why expect perfection “because she’s in the public eye”? Why reject scientific articles and solid research because something else she said might not mesh 100% with my views?
Maybe it’s my neurodivergence that causes me to see a lot of nuances where so many others don’t see them. Maybe it’s my years of traveling from early childhood onwards, living in cultures different from my home country’s. Maybe I’m just weird. But I shy away from rejecting someone’s utterances outright and at face value. Instead, I tend to dive down a rabbit hole of research to check the facts that may lay behind those utterances, if there is a solid basis behind them whilst always being aware of the dangers of confirmation bias. It’s how I was raised and how I roll. Take away the emotional aspects and reactions, and look at it as objectively as I possibly can.
I’m fully aware that this seemingly contradicts my statement about people feeling the need to dissect, because I’m dissecting myself when I dive down those rabbit holes. The difference is keeping one’s head cool.
Anyhow, cutting short a long ramble that probably doesn’t make a lick of sense to a lot of people. There are always a lot of things and facets to consider and it seems to me that emotions often get in the way. It makes sense to me to look at the good, the bad, the ugly and the sad. To consider the dangers and the drawbacks of a movement, to acknowledge the possible consequences. Precious few people seem to do that.
My great-grandma’s wise advice was: “Even if you think someone is worth hating, REALLY listen to what they’re saying. You might learn something. Even if you think someone is worth loving and following to the ends of the Earth, REALLY listen to what they’re saying. It might scare you.”
My biggest concern isn’t specifically about jk Rowling or the trans community
This is a much bigger issue where not agreeing 100% with certain people / ideas can make you look villainess.
And this really can apply with any group / view.
Even if we agree or disagree, part of what helps this is things like the wording and voice tone, and especially not expecting everyone to agree. But understanding is still possible, just not as much in this day and age
I just miss when there was a time, I could watch a movie / tv show, or play a video game, that was just based on fun. Nothing more nothing less.
But this too seems to be lacking :(
“Silence is ignorance” is such an exhausting statement. People just can’t be left alone, we’re all expected to speak our minds 😩
The way she has been vilified is a disgrace tbh, especially by the cast who owe her their careers
Eh, you shouldn't be loyal to someone just because they did a good thing to you once.
However what she "did" isn't anything that deserves the level of hate and vitriol she received by people who adored her for years to the point where they are trying to erase her from her own creation.
As for the actors where i think they really show their bad side is, that they've known JK for years and probably know that she isn't a hateful or bigoted person yet throw her overboard in order to save themselves from any backlash of the Twitter mob
@@DeathstroketheTerminatoryup. Perfectly said
Welcome to the alphabet mafia.
LMFAO so they should lick her azz because they got a role? Please. It's the casting they owe their thanks to, not Rowling.
@@DeathstroketheTerminator If it had just been that one comment I would've agreed. But then she went on to support people on the far right and give money to politicians who are actively trying to make life hell for trans people. That is unforgivable.
She also stooped to Holocaust denial to own trans people at one point. So, there's that.
JK rowling made my childhood what it is, I am 30, so I even grew up with the movies and books of course. I always found it funny that people tried to cancel her. I'll always be a potter head.
You can still be a "Potter head" and dislike JKR, I love the series still, but don't agree with her views
@bradleybrown8428 Safety would entail that only actual trans people be allowed to use the bathroom of their identified gender. Those in a WPATH program
@@copordropokay, that’s your business, mate
Hell my friend calls me a pot head liking Harry Potter lol. I prefer that name cause it’s more funny than potter head
The new HBO series that will adapt the Potter books is going to be a massive game-changer and the new cast are going to redefine the characters.
Depends on if it's good. I hope it's good 🤞. I don't want to get my hopes up though.
If they go with woke actors, change any of the dialogue to be leftist, and/or race swap any of the characters, I’m out immediately.
As long as they aren’t pushing an agenda or making certain decisions for the sole purpose of making an extra dollar for an executive that is probably a horrible, greedy human being

@@Samherbe954being gay is not an agenda also Hermione is an autistic coded character anyway and if you disagree that's totally valid. However then I'd encourage you to go do some research on autism and then reread the books with this in mind. 🏳️🌈♾️
The original casts time in this world is over. The movies will always be beloved classics, but the actors are now irrelevant to the future of the franchise. I look forward to the coming T.V series, and a more accurate and complete versions of the books I have loved since high school.
Me too!!!
My respect for Ms. Rowlings only continues to grow. My love for her books is eternal.
Yes. They are awesome 😎
me too, well said !
It’s much harder to find good writers than good actors.

Good for her for standing with her beliefs and convictions 👍🏻
I don't agree with people saying she's transphobic.
As someone who is LGB, I agree with her on a lot of things. What she's saying is; socially you can identify how you want, but we can't shy away from discussing things when it comes to biology, and the social impact of biological women having their once safe species taken away, or the lunacy of letting a five year old take hormone blockers. As a biological female, I refuse to give in to those things society has made acceptable IF it causes harm to children, or another group of people.
Why drop the T, no one had a problem with it before
@@Chris47629The way it’s going, it’s gonna have every letter of the alphabet in 10 years. Also it’s very disingenuous when the idea of LGBTQ+ is being framed as everyone who is in those categories is of one mind. So online if people make statements about what trans people want, or how they should be treated, it’s then expected that every gay person, or every bisexual person also holds these opinions so if you disagree you’re being hateful to the entire community.
Also certain areas of the trans community online has become quite ludicrous and there are plenty of people “within the community” who would tell you that as a whole it’s becoming toxic and hostile to anyone who doesn’t fall in line.
Thanks for dropping the T as its the most nonsensical part of it all. Not saying the rest isn't obviously temporary through the guidance of Christ Jesus.
@@carinadavison5087I noticed today it’s now LGBTQIA… constantly just adding, in another 10 years it’ll be half the alphabet. It’s also insincere cos they use this grouping as a shield to make it seem like anyone who is one of those things shares the same beliefs. I know a lot of gay people who don’t even like the vocal online community
Hi there, I just wanted to comment on some of the things you said. This comment will probably be a bit lengthy but I do welcome you to debate if you find that helpful!
Before even starting my deeper reply, I wanted to clarify that my information here is based on my own experience as a transgender person, and on reading I have done prior. I don't have any sources to cite at the present, but I could get some if you want.
Firstly, the fact that you used LGB implies that you yourself are a not transgender person. While in some contexts dropping the T can be considered transphobic, I'm going to assume you just wanted to make clear you are not a transgender person yourself. That however did confuse me because you made it appear as though being lesbian, gay or bisexual gives one the credit to discuss trans people rights as an expert. I would disagree with this as, presuming you don't have a degree in relating areas, that would mean it isn't a great basis for an argument.
Now, while it is true that biologically transgender women can never be exactly the same as cisgender women, this should not be a basis for discrimination(notable exceptions: I agree there are a few sports where being transgender might give you an actual advantage due to bonestructure).
Furthermore, safe spaces are not being "taken away" from women. I can think of no strong arguments why trans women can't be allowed in for example dressing rooms and restrooms; after all, they are women, even if they aren't cisgender. Some people might comment on this by stating that a cisgender man could pretend to be a transgender woman to get into women's spaces. To that I would react that sadly such a man might very well accomplish the same disgusting things whilst not pretending to be transgender. Additionally, cisgender women can also commit such crimes(if rarer), and they and transgender women would probably both be removed from such spaces if they actually did engage in such bestial behaviours.
Next, hormone blockers are not prescribed to five year olds. If there is a known occurrence of such a thing that was probably done illegally or through a loophole. Puberty blockers are usually assigned when puberty starts and during the puberty itself. These blockers are not proven to have any lasting effects. Hormones such as estrogen and testosterone can be ascribed in some countries from as early as the age of 15, if they have had a proper medical diagnosis. And surgery, something transphobes frequently say is performed on young kids, typically only happens after people become 18, with an exception I know of being breast removal having been done at 16 after medical diagnosis and a year of being on testosterone. I want to make clear that I am not saying that you yourself believe that this is the case, but as I have heard such arguments used frequently I thought to debunk them prior to their possible usage.
Lastly, I wholeheartedly agree that society should not normalise things harming children or groups of people. However, as stated previously, transgender people (as a group, not individually(there probably are pervert transgender people, as there are in any group of people)) don't harm kids. And additionally, some of the statements made by JK Rowling and quite a lot of legislature does harm transgender people; a group of people. And as you said, which I agree with, society should not make things acceptable which harm groups of people.
Now I hope that you will read my arguments here carefully, and if you wish to reply, ask any questions, or further up the debate, I am very much open to it.
P.S. sorry that this comment is so long
Thank you Dean for staying here for us the ones who are still here and have never thought of unsubscribing.
I wish you all the best in the immediate future and your family.
Stay safe and take care.
I never understood the backlash against JK Rowling because I agreed 100% with her, and im gay....Love her and the harry potter universe

Well spoken and I will most definitely not be unsubscribing. Honestly, nothing JK has said is transphobic. All she has done is say that the rights of woman should not be diminished to suit the wants, not needs or rights, of the trans community. Completely fair point if you ask any sane person.

Dude, you and JK Rowling are legends. Don't let the haters bring you down. That boycott ain't nothing because I just came back from Universal Studios and the sections for Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley were just as packed as ever.

It's pathetic how those who spew hate are the ones who claim relentlessly that it is Rowling who hates trans individuals and wants to see harm come to them when there is no evidence whatsoever to support such views. Just because facts don't please does not mean they are erroneous.

When I heard all the fuss, I actually looked up what she said, and I couldn't believe people got upset. It was all quite sensible. I didn't see anything that was hateful at all, so I never understood why people were upset. I thought I was missing something. Then the Hogwarts Legacy harassment campaign happened. Made me realize that it was probably just blown out of proportion by a few people.
You're either with them or against them. There is no middle ground or critical thinking allowed.

Im lgbt, and was able to read what she was saying. This cancel culture and pc fear of saying our opinions is mental to me. I believe we should be able to express our opinions freely and have healthy debates/talks on some of the topics mentioned.
JK Rolling spoke the truth. People who are transitioning into a sex that they prefer need to honestly respect other individuals opinions.
JK is common sense.
Exactly! Love JK 💜
How can she be common sense when she disagrees with the entirety of the scientific community on the definitions of sex and gender?
I’m not going to unsubscribe. I love your passion for the books and JK Rowling ❤
I thought so. Even when I first learned of this three years ago, I *never* entirely agree she was transphobic.
Glad people are finally understanding that.
She doesn’t think trans people are valid in their gender identity. That is a form of transphobia
@@technoloverish tell me where she said that? there a mixed toilets for a reason
Thank you for this video! I do not have any social media except fb and I remember being confused four years ago about the whole situation. I had not read anything of the original tweets so I decided to stay out of it. To not have an opinion. I gained a little bit more information about it as the years passed and I knew of fans trying to cancel her and Harry Potter.
This video made it clearer to me what she wanted to say. I also would like to know what happened to your channel so I will be looking forward to your next video!
What people don’t understand is that people love the characters Rowling created and not necessarily the people that played the parts. Rowling will survive and when they tried and failed to get rid of her the movies have paid a price and I’m guessing that the actors will as well
Good for her. They were all snakes. Soon as the climate got heated they lashed out and bit the hand that fed them. The hand that made their entire careers.
Celebs just desperate to protect their careers rather thN say the truth.
"It doesnt matter what someone is born, but what they grow to be." - JK Rowling
>quotes that precede unfortunate events 😬
trans people are what they are born as :)
jk has common sense❤
I would like to make it known not all the trans community is like this
Yet unfortunately, I would wager that a large chunk of it is.
@@imagaybanana2004 probably i don’t know sadly 😢
Don't worry , there are more people who are aware of that than you know . there are even trans people who are completely anti-woke . Common sense is accessible to everyone that embraces it 💁♀
@@eglantinepapeau1582 Good point. That gives me hope lol
Very well said. It seems to me like Emma and Daniel just jumped on the latest train because they thought it would be headed towards the next station in human development. Unfortunately for them, they should have researched before giving statements. Everything Rowling said was valid! When you said she made an anti-transitioning statement I wanted to say "hoooold your horses! That's not anti- she is just concerned about certain developments, not transitioners themselves." She is so misunderstood and it breaks my heart
Daniel and Emma should remember. Out of the thousands of kids who auditioned for those roles. She chose them. And changed their lives for the best. And now they’re either being strong armed, or letting their egos get in the way.
It really gets on my nerves how the trans community is so uptight. I do understand it is a massive thing to undergo and it must be so hard to do so but that does not give you the right to shove it in peoples faces and make out that every single person on the earth is against you because this is simply not true. Respect other peoples rights and you will earn the same in return
Keep making your videos, we will continue to watch. You are great at what you do!
Well said! I feel people have the right to do what they wish. I am a memember of the medical community, and know that transitioning is a medical choice, so just like with everything, people need to be scientifically and medically informed, once they choose, it's on them for the outcome. However, they do not get to wipe out my human rights and identity as a biological woman. You do not have to agree 100% with a movement to still love and support them, and I do feel J.K. Rowling made her opinion very clear and showed her support. To go after her and try to have her canceled in my opinion was just vindictive, and that is the part that I disagree with.
I agree with her. They can shove their apologies. They bit the hand that fed them, and now they're reaping what they've sowed. They would be nobodies if JK had not decided to turn the novels into films. And as I get older, when I watch the films I see so many scenes those two were in that had some cringe-worthy acting. (And Emma's acting has always been a bit cringe-worthy). So they should still be thanking their lucky stars she gave them their big break.
They did nothing wrong, criticism is not hate
@@Chris47629you can apply this logic to JK. She criticised the organisation “mermaids” for spreading false information and being oddly enthusiastic towards wanting children to be trans. Going as far as to encouraging them to consider hormone blockers and sex changes before they’re even teenagers.
I don't think that their having being stemmed from JK Rowling means that can't voice criticism or disagree with her.
Life goes on. I'm glad people didn't turn on you like they did to other youtubers.
Radicalized ideology is the problem here, not J.K. It's so unbelievable the backlash she had from the trans community despite a group of trans people saying she was right and it was just scientific facts! Also the collateral damage to every Harry Potter based content creators like you had.
Love JKR
im over all this bullshit, ACTUAL members of the LGBT know that she didnt mean no harm. what she said is true. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE TRANSITIONING, u should be over 21 to make those kind of life changing decisions
First and foremost:take care of yourself/hope you continue to feel better
Hate you were attacked but ignore people,keep speaking the truth and giving your opinions
As for me staying subed
The actors brought this on themselves. I agree with JK Rowling. I have cerebral palsy, and I've been through more surgeries than a trans individual will need. The last thing a child (teen or not) should go through is surgery. Unless they absolutely need it, the option is unnecessary.
💯💯💯
Luckily in most countries such surgeries can only be performed after turning 18, though in some from the age of 16(with a runnign diagnosis trajectory and lenghty psychologicak evaluation). Also, while I don't want to disregard your experience with surgeries due to your cerebral palsy, I just wanted to mention that for a lot of trans people these surgeries are necessary to live with themselves(look up trans people self oofing and mutilation numbers, they are not pretty). I do agree that if you don't need the surgery you shouldn't get it!
@@lbear4292 I'll take that into consideration.
This just drives me insane
I mean I’m trans but I’m just sick of the bs from both sides honestly.
I mean it’s always pick a side with people… why? I just don’t even.
Tbh I don’t think there is anyone in the right here as they have all gone about it pathetically.
The harm from all this really does come from both sides becoming much more radicalised, I have personally kept to myself in all of this and yet I still get abuse from the daily from just existing. I have literally done nothing to anyone at all and I wouldn’t ever because that’s wrong period.
Can’t we all just leave each other the heck alone to live our own lives peacefully. No of course we can’t we have to just attack each other all the darn time. Also because of stuff like this I get threats and abuse all the time for just living my life and keeping to myself
I'm not trans but I stand with the trans and lbtq+ community. I feel so stuck in a void about it all and wishes that I didn't have to feel that I "need" to pick a side. I love the world that have been created, but I think the author could have looked more up before she wrote. She had said what she said. I don't agree with it but I want to move past it. There are a more authors that are controversial but people still read their books. 🤷♀
I'm not sayin what is right or wrong, I just think the whole thing is sad.
I'm against the stupid alphabet cult BECAUSE of the trans freaks and the "oppression" the rest of the cult uses to justify their hatred and harassment. Blame yourselves for the hatred YALL WANTED, because now you got it.
@blacknonbinarydisabledlesbian
You're honestly a very disturbed and deranged individual, and from the things I have seen you spouting, I sincerely hope that you can get therapy as you seem to hold some very dangerous ideologies. I mean it's a slippery slope for sure.
To instigate hatred and violence against ANY group at all is very very dangerous. To lum any group at all as a one size fits all approach is how genocides and other horrendous things happen.
Please think about what you're doing and don't judge and condem an entire group of people from the actions of extremists. Trust me when i say the type of trans person you're referring to doesn't speak for the vast majority in the slightest, and most would just want to live their lives quietly and do their own thing. They are not interested in children or converting them nor doing absurd acts against women etc. When you see the idiots spouting that please be aware that they are extremists and the majority of trans people reject them too as disgusting cretins.
I wish you the best although I digress I expect abuse in return haha
@@J8922-o4v No I completely agree, there should be no sides.
Live and let live as most people (both LGBT and not) just want to live their own lives in peace.
We as a human collective need to ignore the idiots who should the loudest as they tend to have their own agenda and do not represent a group as a collective. I hope it’s safe to say that goes for pretty much any group
I hope JK and the cast of the Golden Trio will b on speaking terms again. To eventually being friends again.
I'll never unsubscribe Dean. Do feel better soon.
Both Emma and Daniel could have made statements supporting trans individuals without throwing JK under the bus. They just look like ungrateful little brats. This whole situation is just noise and doesn't benefit anyone.
Honestly I always thought that her words were taken out of context, when I read them I thought it was valid that she made sure people understood that there are concerns and downsides you had to take in consideration and need to be addressed
I've been saying it for 4 years, but cancel culture gets out of hand very quickly. It also was mostly non-trans people deciding what should be offensive to trans people.
I tried mostly to stay out of whether I agreed with J.K. or not. It wasn't a safe place, because I am in the trans rights corner but there is really hard scientific evidence to support the fact that it does come with some serious risk.
That said, whether I agree or don't agree with the author. It didn't make me turn my back on the series. Denying the Harry Potter books would be like denying a very big part of what got me through a rather lonely and sad childhood. So I always took the stance of love the books, indifference to the author.
I did not however agree with the way some of the actors handled it. They are what really gave the cancel movement power. If you are a celebrity your words have power, you need to be responsible for them.
Same, I stand with trans and lbtq+ community all day, everyday and the fandom of harry potter.
The auther. meh - Couldn't care less. There are more authors that have done and said some really crappy things and I know that I support them indirectly by buying their books and so on. But what can I do? I like them and whant to read and watch things I enjoy.
I cancel all of humanity, yep even myself. I'm just tired of all of it. Do I have to pick a side...?🤷♀
@@J8922-o4v I say we all start the "I cancel myself leave me out yo mess" movement 😂
@@Cora-wh1rr Agreed! 😁
What author wouldn't want their readers to immediately burn the copy they purchased?
That way nobody can buy that copy 'used', for which the author gets nothing.
I have recommended your channel to a lot of people. I appreciate your forthrightness about lgbtqia plus polkadot Two plus spirit trans stuff. And I love Harry Potter
Don't make the same mistake that Watson and Radcliffe did and generalize. I am a transsexual woman but on the conservative side. I never faulted Rowling for the exact words she said and have similar views. Since I am not alone and members of the LGBT community aren't all woke, let's rephrase your argument and use the woke adjective, instead of being a member of the LBGT community to attribute behavior and beliefs. We aren't all woke.
Keep up the good work I enjoy your videos thank you for your hard work
i remender getting death threats on facebook 4 years ago, being called an "transphobic brick how should jump of a bridge", simple because i said that i dont agree with everything the trans community belives. As a gay men that was kinda ironic getting so much hate from some people you scream for acceptance
Ps keep up the good work i really like your chanel
That is actually disgusting, I am so sorry that happened to you. No matter what someone's views are, you should never send deaththreats.
I have a riddle for you.
What does an actual trans woman do in a women’s room?
She sits down, pees, and washes her hands. Then leaves.
Are you ignoring the very real possibility of unsavoury men taking advantage of this especially when people say you can be trans without surgery or saying you can't assume based off appearance.
I’m not ignoring the possibility; it isn’t happening now. Not in the US, at least, about which I can speak. I actually agree that just doling out gender changes in the latest Gender Recognition Act without a real transition isn’t wise.
Real trans women shouldn’t be harassed, either. Dawn Ennis, who’s been post op for quite a time, was harassed in Atlanta by one Posie Parker and a group of followers about using a women’s room. The encounter is on TH-cam, by the way. It seemed quite deliberate.
It’s a real condition for some people. It’s not a whim, I would agree, and should not be encouraged as such. Just please don’t end up conflating trans trending with real gender dysphora (what used to be called gender identity disorder)
@@Agnoletta just because it isn't happening now doesn't mean the possibility should be ignored or dismissed.
@@Markus2E5I6Perhaps so, but then craft the law so that real trans people aren’t affected.
@@Markus2E5I6let’s be real about this. If someone is going to do something awful like that then they’re going to do it regardless of gender or single sex bathrooms. Keeping trans women out of womens bathrooms isn’t going to prevent scummy people doing awful things
I thing they should stay away and have no more opinions on it. She made them and they crapped on her. JK Rowling has a right to stand up for females rights.
I'm glad you're showing support for her!!
Good lad, you've had my respect for a long while and I've been subscribed for a long time and I applaud you for standing by your convictions. Funnily enough I've never really been a fan of Harry Potter, which may raise the question of why I'm subscribed to you 😂 in all honesty it's because I like the lengths you go to, to deepdive into the source material and while it hasn't really changed my opinion on Rowling's ability as an author, I enjoy your content. I respect Rowling for standing by her convictions on the subject also as I find too many celebrities like Radcliffe and Watson are so far removed from reality that they just go with whichever way the wind blows in Hollywood and Watson especially is so ignorant and narcissistic it honestly disgusts me that she feels she has any right to tell people what's right and wrong knowing that it doesn't affect her anyway as long as it keeps her in the public eye because as far as my opinion goes she's an extremely mediocre actress and probably senses that her relevance is diminishing rapidly as she ages and probably just wants to stay in Hollywood's good books because lord knows her lack of talent won't carry her 😂 it makes it worse in my opinion that Watson is also an advocate of "feminism" which is just so disingenuous given her stance on transitioning.
But that is enough of my ranting. I don't believe in hating people for believing what they choose to believe, that's their business but trying to force your beliefs on others is where I draw the line. Everyone has the right to choose but if you try to take away that right from someone else just to validate your own beliefs, that is so wrong and despicable.
Anyway rant really over this time. Just kind of got carried away. Just wanted to let you know that I'll stand with you to the end ☺️
Despite I agree with JKR's views I still believe that the actors(except Rupert Grint) shouldn't have called her out because she was the reason people recognize them as famous celebrities. I don't care about their opinions but still calling the same author who made you the famous celebritiess you are today is just wild.
It would take a very mature person to acknowledge that he has been wrong with his views and accusations and actually to make a public apology. Pointing with this especially to Radcliff who very much has "mansplained" how Rowling don't have medical degree and thus has no place to give comments about trans which are contrary to views of main medical institutions (which are since fall down or changed their transpolicies). Also he had intentionally misunderstood all these years what Rowling has said and thus reveals that he doesn't know her at all even when he pretend otherwise - or he is just a selfish idiot, which is also possibility. Also I'd think that HP fanbase has huge amount of girls and women who are facing downside of transpolicies and he - and his co-actors - don't mind at all their feelings and rights.
It's feels so good to read these comments, and see such overwhelming support for you and for her. Made my night🥲🥰 Thank you 💜
Good for her.
Thank you for making this video. I have supported your channel since I first found it. Thank you for being honest and open. Extremists of ANY kind are just toxic. I am saddnened when you tell us about the hate you have endured simply for enjoying Harry Potter so much. I love your channel and I hope you keep making videos. In fact, I am on another Harry Potter read through of all 7 books. I will always enjoy Harry Potter youtube content.
Anyway sorry for the rant but you will always have my support and I don’t plan to ever unsubscribe from your channel cause of what you do and have been doing for years for the fandom ❤
No, silence is not ignorance. It's self preservation . Unfortunately it seems that youu can't voice an opinion or fact without getting backlash. I agree with her 100% . Please don't crucify me me for what I 'm about to say: though it's said that none of them would speak to her ever again but J.K knows her own worth and she doesn't need people prone to backstab others just like that. She had gone through so much already .
I’m just going to say this and I’m not taking sides with anyone cause I have family and friends that are transgender. But this has gotten way out of control honestly,I mean kids have been targeted for liking Harry Potter and people who don’t pick a side are made into monsters and villains. Again I’m a huge supporter of the community and the Harry Potter series,I’m also a huge supporter of this channel it has helped me through some issues and dark times including several breakups. All I’m saying is leave people alone who have stated that they don’t want to take sides,but above all stop targeting content creators and their families because they aren’t involved in this argument that has gotten way too out of control children are innocent and shouldn’t have to be afraid of being targeted by strangers or to even step outside their own homes.
Stay strong brother! We love your channel! You keep it absolutely real! 💯
What I never understood about this whole thing is that if jk Rowling was opened to having dumbledore be gay and in love with grindelwald why would people think she's not opened minded and fair she is and she's just addressing being safe if we all want fair treatment we have to be opened minded even to safety too
I have to say that, after all these years, this is the very first time I’ve heard about J. K. Rowling’s comments addressing the biomedical aspects of this controversy, and almost the first mention I’ve ever heard of these “puberty blockers” and other treatments at all. While I still maintain that the author’s comments were complex and contentious, rather than purely good or evil, I do have to say that this indicates some pretty biased reporting on the part of her detractors and the mainstream media, since these objections both change the context for remarks, and are more substantial than mere statements of opinion.
Omfg it's so awesome getting to listen to your voice as I drift off to sleep
Well I for one am so sick of this crap. I have my own beliefs and I give people the rights to their beliefs. I support Rowling and she even backed it up with science. Makes me like her even more.
Now for your channel. I can't afford to contribute money but you don't give a crap about that. I have 2 Harry Potter channels I follow and yours was the first. So I am not going anywhere. This is one of my favorite channels so keep up being you.
Thanks for weathering this storm. Stay consistent and you’ll always be fine.
to start with, everyone is entitled to their opinion!
As i mentioned before on another video on this channel, i was going to go down the route of M to F transition, but time, money, and health were not on my side, so i decided not to (this means that i feel that i know what im talking about).
There is physical gender, and mental gender (aka Gender Identity), the extreme Ttrans community is trying to blur the lines between those, or even delete the first, this must not heppen!
More specifically for under the age of consent and proper thought and decision making, well thats a grey area, people are different, children even more so, some may not be ready at 13 to make the right choice, but some may be ready. Im not sure even the best psychotherapists or analysts can even judge correctly.
I'm not unsubscribing at all, I looked up Harry Potter lore TH-camrs and found 2 and I watched multiple videos of yours and the others and I chose and still choose you. BTW nothing against the other guy I liked him but I preferred YOU. I definitely hope you keep making videos
I feel regretful about this development. I have never agreed with the condemnation of J. K. Rowling and dislike that these relationships have deteriorated.
If my first comment is blocked by the algorithm, thank you for taking a rationale stance on this.
The movies will always be classic but if the show is detailed and visually impressive that would catapult a new Harry Potter legacy
I wish Daniel and Emma just didn't comment at all. They became what they are now because of Rowling, after all! She made HP ffs!
She didn't make anti anything comments
I believe everybody should be entitled to their own opinion, your own opinion is sacred, pro or against it don't matter, it's part of living in free country. Though it's nice to have people speaking for the rights of a minority, they cross a fine line when they try to; wreck someone's career over their own personal opinion, try to cancel a franchise that doesn't even bare subtext to the Creator's own beliefs, harass someone until they agree or at least pretend to agree. There's a fine line between being an activist who wants to genuinely fight for their or other's rights and an extremist that resorts to bullying someone for their own 15 minutes of fame. The sad thing that it's these fundamentalists who attack others and forcibly cram their way of life down another's throat that in turn undo the hard work and respect that prior activism had fought hard to achieve. All in all if they want respect, peace and equality then they need to show they are capable of giving that to others, regardless of belief and opinion.
So basically JK Rowling did nothing wrong but overly sensitive people went into a tism fit
That sounds about right
Look if someone is Trans thats fine you do yoy live your best life but dont get upset whem someone comes at you with scientific facts and leaves their personal feelings on the matter at the door
I'm never gonna gst into my feelings on the whole Transgender thing because no matter what i was to say i guarantee you someone will get offended
I appreciate you dean love your channel and fully support your stance
Well-said. So glad Rowling stood up for women❤
I just wanted to give praise to everyone in the comments here who have stayed respectful to one another even if they disagree!😊
I hope you feel better soon, Dean, just make sure you're drinking enough water and getting as much rest as you need!
One day I hope that JK and Daniel can at least talk to each other, if not to make up at least to have some proper closure, but I highly doubt it'll ever happen with Emma; she's become far too egotistical to admit she was ever wrong and it's sad but not uncommon with former child stars.
Not really sure where the rest of them stand but I can only hope they keep it civil if they do speak on it, they owe her that much respect at the very least.
J.K.Rowling, the woman who based. I won't agree with her in all points but she sticking to her guns, although she's got the power and money to do so. Emma Watson got so tied up in being an activist because her childhood was lost to the movie series, so easily manipulated.
Daniel, didn't seem as public with it but I know he made some statement against Rowling's opinions/statements. Maybe it's a bias but he seemed like he wanted to be on the fence, or even take the route where he feels like he would please the most people, get people to like him because he can't have people hate him. Either way, still manipulated.
Daniel, could maybe listen to his apology but not Emma. Her 'activism' is a shroud for arrogance and hatred, like many others. So many celebrities have this circular problem where, because they're famous, people listen. Since people listen, and put them on a pedestal, their opinions are given weight, hollow as it is. So this weight gives these celebrities a false sense of intelligence, like their opinion or statements are actually intelligent or well thought. Thus, they make more, people follow it blindly, and the cycle goes on.
Good for JK! Glad she’s standing strong on her principles!!
I like your content. Keep speaking your truth 😊
kudos to you dean for having some sense
hello dean or harry potter folklore, all i just wanna say is i commented this before and i’ll comment again, i’ll never unsubscribe from this channel ever , i’ll remain harry potter for life, harry potter forever, that’s how i’ll feel about you. As for jk, i just understand what’s going on and how i feel on it, aren’t there other people feel empathy to jk, i mean i’m pretty sure that there are others that feel bad about jk after all she was the first one to ever turn this franchise before this problem began into books and since then they gone off with a storm, my brother rea the books, my sister read the books, jk went massive ever since back in the day and since then, then they became movies and ever since the movies began and along the way i began watching the movies and collected them, i became infatuated with it, even though i began watching the movies and never read the books, i remain harry potter for life. As for emma and dan all i care about is if they’re done they’re done, i’m not gonna make a problem with it, it’s what emma and dan feel and if that’s what emma and dan feel then i guess that’s it. As for me on jk i definitely feel empathetic, i understand this is hard and everyone can’t fathom with this and in these times i’m now reading the books and i’m on year 3 chapter 4 so i have a long way to go to finish it, but no one ever say to do something with those books, i began reading the franchise and i don’t want to deal with the crap to jk to me! like i said i’m harry potter for life, harry potter forever, no one deals with what’s going on with this franchise and gets away with it, you involved with me, well i dare you try, i’m not break down the way you broke jk, jk i’m with you all the way, dean-harry potter folklore i’m with all the way, we will never go down, never give up, let’s show them what we’re made of, me, dean and jk let’s fight, you mess with us, bring it on!
