EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros. Discovery and the BBC have been accused of double standards on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) after both organizations have stood by J.K. Rowling amid a hardening in her transgender rights rhetoric.

WBD is working closely with Rowling on HBO’s Harry Potter television series, while the BBC has this week premiered Season 6 of Strike, based on the author’s Robert Galbraith novels. Rowling is an executive producer on both projects and her company, Brontë Film and TV, is also attached.

The support for Rowling’s work has alarmed members of the transgender community working in the media, who have noted how the writer’s language on trans issues has evolved from measured disagreement to a coarser tone over the past four years.

In interviews with Deadline, these people argued that WBD and the BBC’s platforming of Rowling’s work sits uncomfortably with internal policies around fairness and inclusivity for transgender employees.

WBD has said Rowling has a “right to express her personal views” and the Harry Potter series will only benefit from her involvement. The BBC declined to comment on Rowling’s views but said it was committed to “creating an inclusive workforce that reflects and represents the diversity of the UK."

Just tell these people to frick off. They don't have a right to say who should be in your company or part of your project.

Leftist Media Translation Time!

Translation: WBD & BBC are starting to realize DEI, especially when it comes to trannies and trying to pass trans-ism off to impressionable children as normal and healthy, is bullshite and we don't like it!

Translation: the author and others who agree with him(?) are pissy because businesses are starting to not be scared of the pro-trans crowd any longer.

quote:

who have noted how the writer’s language on trans issues has evolved from measured disagreement to a coarser tone over the past four years.


Translation: She has grown to realize that attempting to reason with the unreasonable is a waste of time and is now expressing that realization.

quote:

In interviews with Deadline, these people argued that WBD and the BBC’s platforming of Rowling’s work sits uncomfortably with internal policies around fairness and inclusivity for transgender employees.


Translation: The two people interviewed are noble because of the victimhood of their not being allowed to force their delusions on others. As such, the wants of these "noble victims" should supersede those of the thousands of other employees and millions of fans/potential-consumers-of-the-new-content.

WBD has said Rowling has a “right to express her personal views” and the Harry Potter series will only benefit from her involvement. The BBC declined to comment on Rowling’s views but said it was committed to “creating an inclusive workforce that reflects and represents the diversity of the UK."


Translation: WBD and the BBC know Rowling can bring in a frickTON more money with her non-tranny content than all of the pro-tranny content they've made or could ever make, combined.

They vilified her from the start, and now say she just had a measured disagreement when they started doing that???

This is all because she defines a woman correctly. She hasn’t really been anti-trans but pro-woman while some other liberals and feminists have bent the knee and accepted the dick being dragged over them is from a woman.

Then she should stay the course. They just want creative power over her. It's the same shite they do everywhere else. They don't care about quality. They just want to control the process and secure obedience.

She has “frick you” money and the studios need the properties she controls, so she has the power to stay the course and win.

Never read the books, watched 2 of her movies.... But always heard she was a sensible gal.

But we live in a world where they would DEI Little House on the Prairie set in 1870s Minnesota.
