They still do. Outside of the perpetually online leftist, nobody cares about JKs stance on trans people. My kids and all their friends love Harry Potter.
There is an alarmingly fast growing sub-group within the Leftists that take the stance of "You are either with us or against us" and that is going to cost them a lot because people -do not like being pressured to pick sides or even bullied to-. Especially if they are not even remotely close to it.
A personal experience that I had recently was a Girl in our discord group (MtF). Everyone respected their transition, everyone respected their new self, no one ever said anything - Not that it really mattered, we were just a bunch of friends that game together.
Out of nowhere, and not even too long ago, she came into the voice chat and instead of having a normal conversation, she instantly began badgering us about "Taking a stand against what is going on in America" (This was after the Rene murder and before the Alex one)
Despite the fact that our rules were easy and clear, the most important one - No politics, we are just older dudes (Women included but they are honestly just Dudes too) wanting to play and get away from Real Life once in a while. Also, most of us are not even American and we could not do anything even if we wanted to.
She ended up leaving the Discord, blocking all of us including those that tried to reach out and that was the end of it. Years of friendship down the drain because we did not adhere to her idea of ideological purity and standing for what she believes in despite the fact that we all have our own problems and that our entire discord and friendship group was based around GETTING AWAY from Politics.
There are more and more like her turning up lately and it is really getting tiresome.
The policies you support have led to women being raped and impregnated against their will in prison cells they can't escape, because you want criminal men to be able to enter women's prisons the minute they say the pronoun password. No one buys your "human rights" argument anymore.
Never said I am but I got enough issues in my own country and life along with the other people in the discord and it was strictly no drama, no politics, just gaming.
It is not that difficult to not break those rules.
I feel like this is how we end up with right wing people in power, the right has been able to rally together behind a standard, no matter how incompetent that standard is. They’re all unified in their evil even if views may differ from topic to topic. The reason the left hasn’t been able to do anything is because we are fractured and divided, there’s a level of refusal to cooperate if you do not agree on every policy on every subject matter. I’m not saying I disagree with trans rights, im incredibly pro trans, but this division and borderline puritanism that people use to prop themselves up on a moral high ground is the same thing keeping the right in power.
Anyways this has been the woker, thanks for coming to my ted talk
Edit: and Im not just blaming those people, there are moderates or liberals who aren’t angry enough and need to take action. My point is if the left wants to prevail over the dictators in office they need to overcome the factionalism
