Troons flocked to his Discworld novels since his daughter declared her support for all things troon. She takes delight in 'owning' the TERFs and being the epitome of the troon Handmaiden.
Somewhat is seriously underselling it. I remember reading the original statement that started the whole thing and thinking it was so weak. It was barely resistance. It was all "I love trans people but..." And now: Ver archivo adjunto 9229349
Well, would'nt you get increasingly pissed off with a collective group of people who call you literally Hitler, claim you are funding hatred and genocide when you are not and said genocide is bullshit, and won't drop a retarded "joke" about your castle having moldy walls?
There was quite a dispute like that a couple of years ago over Terry Pratchett, whose daughter Rhiannon is very pro-trans. IMHO Terfs were foolish to argue over this one. Of course Pratchett was and would still be a TRA, we're talking about a grown-arse man who still dressed as Indiana Jones in his mid-60s.
Mind you, I remember queer types being very angry about the end of Deathly Hallows because it was too "heteronormative", I guess because nobody was in same-sex relationships in the epilogue.
Plus he is still to this day the one true hero of Reddit.
I once referred to his writings as juvenile and unfunny on a reddit thread and it was like I had pissed in the popes face while high fiving Martin Luther.
A TV adaptation of "Guards, Guards!" and other discworld stories about the watch. She had creative disagreements with the other writers (she wanted a faithful adaptation, they wanted to make it into a social justice wankfrst and change all the characters). After she was forced off, just about everything was changed (they changed the setting to generic fantasy, made sybil into a black woman assassin, made cuddy a tranny and turned carrot into an ineffectual loser) and iirc, they stole her show bible, which apparently included details that Rhianna had not wanted used on screen, possibly because they were based on notes that were meant to have been destroyed when Terry died.
As the unfortunate nigga who chose to watch and recap the series for the betterment of humanity back when it came out, as well as delved a little into how and why.....just why it was made...I will state that the troon mob were only disinterested enforcers at most with regards to that trainwreck. The true source of the pozz was the showrunner who was a member of the "smarmy middle aged media literal-homo obsessed with being camp as a substitute for talent" club who plastered random discworld names on his unfilmable shit OC scripts and then slathered currentyear troonshit on for good measure.

I don't remember exact specifics, but she had been on the seething shitlist of a small but fanatical segment of the post-tumblr troon sphere for her crimes of not making her books full of underaged genderblob rawdogging to their satisfaction, and as such they were hyper fixated on shrieking denouncements and demands for apologies at the slightest excuse whenever she said or did anything, and she was as meek and quiet about their schtick as any other public #resist lib type would have been...but she never quite apologised or tried to appease them the way most others would have done instantly, and this failure to get instant submission further enraged this troon inquisition.
Eventually they caught her on something ironclad....she was found to have briefly liked xitter posts from convicted no-no turf slutbitchwhores about how they were uncomfortable around male bodies, and being this was the time period in which Gina Carano had her career destroyed just for putting her xitter pronouns as Beep Boop and thus blaspheming against sacred troonery this caused the rest of the troon sphere to very quickly jump on the bandwagon and start furiously and threateningly demanding apologies and asspats.
What they got instead was her politely but ever so slightly firmly taking a stand for what she believed, and well....we all know the rest of the story

Ah right, now I have a vague recollection and avoided it because I am like many people, tired of blackwashing in fantasy shows.
Sorry but apparent medieval/early modern style villages comprised of populations which are so ethnically diverse they make London and New York look lilywhite is just fucking stupid.
I would have literally minded way less of say in wheel of time, the village where it all starts had been majority sub shararan African.
The point of the village was that it was relatively isolated and there was little moment and travel of the inhabitants.
Hence within a few generations way back, they would have mixed into a local ethnic group and been homogeneous.
I wouldn’t care which ethnicity they decided on, but if you go to a random village in Mongolia or Kazakstan, it’s very unusual to see a random black or even white person, possible, but always a novelty.
You definitely will not see every fucking broad racial group representation there!
I blame British stage schools too.
There really seemed to have been a push to get BAME students and now they pepper the extras and background actors in a jarring fashion.
At least JK’s minimal but visible tokenism was actually more representative of British boarding schools of the 90s!

The irony is, if they hadn't changed the setting away from the Discworld, they'd have had much more justification for having her be black. Ankh Morpork was a cosmopolitan trade centre and former imperial capital. It had citizens of every colour and species living in it.
Still stupid though, making her black and a girlboss and an assassin. I don't remember what they did to Vimes, but it was almost certainly retarded.

He wrote twee little fantasies with dad jokes and labored analogies that seem very witty when you’re a teenager, and are perfectly adequate for what they are.
Reddit thinks he’s a literary mastermind, but that’s because they’re very, very stupid.
I agree that he might have been pro troon. Dementia will do that to you,
I’m glad Pratchett didn’t live long enough to comment on trannyism because he would’ve supported it 100%. I love the Watch books but now I cringe when I read his commentary on people who don’t want their homelands invaded by masses of immigrants. He would think the same thing of anyone who didn’t kiss the tranny ring; they’re backwards and stupid while he is intelligent enough to understand that upending civilization is good. Shut up about the rape gangs and girl cock.
I know I'm late but I'm kind of stunned that except tranny-dislike, Rowling is 100% the milquetoast liberal, am I wrong? I read some of her interviews and she is pretty much boomer era centrist with a bit of gender critical stuff.

Now JK Rowling is just a multi-millionaire with a hobby of making the troons seethe and dilate by simply saying obvious stuff like "men are not women". I like it.

People forget that the earlier cohorts of boomer were actually the first wave of punks.
Most 60s kids who were mods and rockers were not boomers, they were born during or slightly before world war 2. Boomers were strictly after 1945.
15 year old kids are not the ones defining a decade, they are the ones responding and looking up to the yout and 20-40 year olds dictating the music, style and fashion.
OK, here is something very very special. Transexual person is upset because surgery left them with a... Harry Potter scar! NOOOO!
Since I first spotted the complaint in r/transgenderUK I briefly thought this was a stinkditch being discussed and my mind was fairly boggled but it turns out to be a pooner's mastectomy scar.
Am I being over dramatic?
Vent
So I had surgery with Kate Williams at Pall Mall 7 weeks ago, and had my post op appointment this week.
My scar has healed with quite a jagged edge, causing a zigzag at the start. In the appointment Kate described it as a 'Harry Potter scar' in it's appearance.
I didn't say anything cause it was quite a mentally draining appointment as I may need a revision to fix it, but thinking back on it I'm really upset about that description of my body.
I don't want JK Rowling to have any more input in or around my body then she currently does with all her legal funding to stop my life. And here I am being described like I'm one of her characters? It just felt really tone deaf to me and I really don't know how to feel or wether to write in and explain why that language shouldn't be used towards patients.
It's always struck me as odd that we are supposed to let troons into women's restrooms because it is no big deal but simultaneously somehow not allowing troons into women's restrooms is such a big deal it is akin to literal genocide.
