JK Rowling in a group of 150 that write a letter to end Cancel Culture

Interesting turn of events
“J.K. Rowling has joined around 150 authors and academics in denouncing the so-called “cancel culture,” which refers to the online shaming of individuals who have done or said something that angry social media users consider objectionable or offensive.
The world-famous author of the “Harry Potter” series signed an open letter warning of an “intolerant climate” for free speech. The letter was published by Harper’s Magazine on Tuesday.
Other signatories include Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky, and novelist Salman Rushdie.“

Its funny to me how these Harry Potter fan sites are "distancing themselves" from her. Like they are somehow not still making her a shite ton of money. 
She randomly came out and said "Dumbledore is gay" with no warning after not giving any hints in the books. I wonder what the fans would do if she came out again and said "there are no trans people in the wizarding world."

That in and of itself, will get her cancelled.
Let them fight.

It’s a start.
It’d be great to see 1,500,000 signatures on the letter, rather than 150.

This is literally like the 4th thread on this missive.

One of the signees wants out. I guess she still wants to cancel some of the signees
“I did not know who else had signed that letter. I thought I was endorsing a well meaning, if vague, message against internet shaming. I did know Chomsky, Steinem, and Atwood were in, and I thought, good company.
The consequences are mine to bear. I am so sorry.”

Those who built it suddenly having second thoughts because it’s FINALLY dawns on them that they aren’t exempt. So brave.

They understand that Cancel Culture is part of a Marxist movement that has the potential to spiral out of control into mass violence and loss of human life.
But they’re old and obsolete, what do they know, right?

Every bombmaker is eventually bitten by their creation. All fun and games until cancel culture shows up at your front door. Here's to all the leftist instigators losing a couple of digits.

True. Cancel culture was fine when it was what all the cool kids were doing to the conservative voices.

Yep. They started this shite. Ironic that they are now trying to end it. Soon she'll be getting death threats about trying to silence people.

Canceling Cancel Culture?
Posted on 7/8/20 at 2:23 pm to tigerskin
JK Rowling is able to do this because she as IDGAF money. She could never sell another book again and still be one of the richest people on the planet.
And neither do the others:
Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov-been agitating against Putin for years. Think he is afraid of cancel culture?
Noam Chomsky-has never GAF
novelist Salman Rushdie.- LOL Do I even need to spell this out.
However normal people often don't have an option. They have to keep their heads down and just maneuver around cancel culture the best they can.
