Excerpt:
"As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference,” Rowling wrote. She then laid out a series of questions, asking which of her positions could possibly make actors and directors so upset.
She asked whether it was her belief “that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms,” or that “women should retain female-only rape crisis centres,” and “that men don’t belong in women’s sport.” Rowling also highlighted her stance on incarcerated women, asserting that “female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders,” and her view that “women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues.”
Rowling continued by emphasizing the importance of language reflecting reality, noting “that language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context,” and defended women against harassment or persecution, writing that “women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex” and “women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights.”"

Also, I saw a few stills of the new Harry Potter movie coming up and it looks woke-washed over the originals. Ho-hum here we go again.
Managers of production companies seem to accept that incompetence and put much of their
investments into remakes of previous successful productions. Those were made using
non-woke actual creative talent, who have moved on or were forced out by woke management.
Woke remakes are an insult to the previous work and should never see distribution anywhere.
There has been little (if anything) made in the past 20 years worthy of any viewing.
Repeatedly I find successful TV-series firing white male actors (who made the success possible)
and replacing those with minorities and/or female actors in roles that defy reality. Those new actors
vary in talent from excellent to utterly abysmal.
When this happens I take the rational action by refusing to watch another minute.
May Hollywood and NYC production get exactly what they deserve - bankruptcy and starvation.
The sooner, the better.
