The J.K. Rowling controversy explained as the writer has been repeatedly accused of transphobia for her extreme feminist comments. Here's the full breakdown.
J.K. Rowling has been at the centre of transphobia accusations for many years, in a timeline that began with the ‘liking’ of a tweet that seemingly criticised the transgender rights movement to lengthy personal blogs on gender and feminism. The Harry Potter author, beloved by many for creating the world of Hogwarts and more – has faced considerable backlash for her comments, including from cast members of both the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts film franchises.
“The events in the last several weeks have firmed our resolve as a company to confront difficult societal issues,” the company said. “Warner Bros.’ position on inclusiveness is well established, and fostering a diverse and inclusive culture has never been more important to our company and to our audiences around the world. We deeply value the work of our storytellers who give so much of themselves in sharing their creations with us all.
