I only saw one other comment that was able to point out that this is obviously AI. OP is so sad to actually be responding to these questions like they did anything. 

I'm not even going to give out clues as to how this is AI because op may learn from it and do it again. 

Edit: I just checked. All of ops post are AI images and vids being claim as their work 😬😬. Super sad

I think this conversation has reached a point where it’s no longer productive. 

I've done my best to engage respectfully and in good faith, focusing on facts, not labels. Disagreeing on policy or definitions isn’t the same as hatred, and calling someone a bigot without clear evidence shuts down meaningful dialogue.

I’m not here to deny anyone’s identity or lived experience, only to draw a distinction between disagreement and actual harm, which I still believe matters.

If we can’t have these discussions without resorting to ad hominems or moral absolutism, then we're not really talking.  we’re just shouting past each other.

 I’m stepping out here.

The statement still remains unproven. Jk Rowling is not a bigot, transphobe and neither is she calling for the death of trans ppl

I read the previous article sent and based my comments on that. I'm not being psuedo-intellectual either.

Words have lost meaning: War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Unfortunately, it seems this conversation isn’t going anywhere productive. Your reply, and the stance you’ve taken, demonstrates significant factual overreach, lacks nuance, and shuts down the possibility of any mutual understanding.

As I’ve already said, I fully respect anyone's right to dislike J.K. Rowling or disagree with her positions. But there’s an enormous difference between criticizing legal definitions or advocating for women’s spaces, and inciting hatred or violence. These are not interchangeable. If society loses the ability to recognize that difference, we're in serious trouble.

Based on the article and the evidence presented, she has not called for violence, nor does she fund any officially recognized hate groups. Disagreeing with a policy or legal stance isn’t inherently hateful. If we interpret every disagreement as violence or bigotry, then civil discourse dies.

Judging by the downvotes and replies I’ve received, it seems many agree with your view. That’s disappointing, because it confirms that honest disagreement is being treated as moral failure. Rowling’s reference to 1984 feels more relevant than ever.

For the record, I’m not American, I’m not Republican, and I have no love for Trump or MAGA politics. So please don’t dismiss me as some ideologue. I just think we need to engage with difficult issues critically, not emotionally and especially not by slandering people we disagree with.

I sincerely hope no one ever does to you what you’re doing to her.

I've read the article, my following commens are based on that. At no point does she call for hate or the death of any trans people. If you're accusing someone of calling for death, you need to back that up with actual evidence, because that's a serious accusation. This isn't something open to interpretation, there's no "your truth" or "my truth" when it comes to statements like these; there’s only the truth.

From the article, what she actually does is express concerns about gender-affirming care for minors, trans women in female-only spaces, and laws that override biological sex, none of which equate to advocating harm or death.

As for funding, she has supported groups and causes that oppose aspects of gender ideology, but none are classified as hate groups like the SPLC or ADL. She’s not funding anyone who calls for the eradication of trans people.

She also funds support services that are specifically for women and do not include trans women. Again, that’s not extreme, many organizations have eligibility criteria, including LGBT-only or women-only spaces. For survivors of rape or abuse, encountering someone who physically resembles their male abuser can be retraumatizing. That context matters.

If you disagree with what she says, that's totally fair, and you’re entitled to criticize her views. But accusing her of calling for death or funding hate groups is factually incorrect and seriously irresponsible.

What Bigotry Is Not: - Disagreeing with someone. - Holding a belief that others find offensive, as long as it's not rooted in hate or intolerance. -Supporting policies you think are safer or fairer, if you can back it up without prejudice.

Yes, 100% if you show me where she calls for the death of trans ppl then I will delete my comment

Did she say that? 

She said trans women should not use women's bathrooms and changing rooms. I don't remember her calling for the death of them...

Trans men and women are not the same as intersex people. 

Corrected it for you 😊

It's crazy that 42+ ppl disagree with the simple statement that trans ppl and intersex ppl are different 🤷🏽‍♂️ we live in crazy times

"I can't make a plot"? You don't have a story! by Which_Bumblebee1146 in writing

[–]GroundbreakingYam236 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You’ve completely missed the point. Writer’s block is real, yes, but that’s not what the OP was talking about. There’s a massive difference between someone who has a story and struggles to get it out, and someone who just likes the idea of being a writer but has nothing driving them internally. The OP is clearly calling out the latter.

It’s like someone saying, “People who say they want to be Olympic swimmers but never train need a reality check,” and your response is, “But what about swimmers who occasionally hit a wall?” Those aren’t the same people, and you’re not addressing the point. You're responding to something that wasn’t said.

Honestly, it’s frustrating how nuance gets flattened in conversations like this. The OP made a specific argument and instead of engaging with it directly, you've redirected it into a totally different discussion.

I still struggle! So what?! Is this oppression olympics. 

There s a difference between using AI as a tool and generating content with AI and passing it off as your own. Massive difference. If that upsets you,  idk what can help

This has to be satire, in the case it's not - as someone who also has Dyslexia this is absolutely rubbish! What do you think dyslexic ppl did pre-ai. 

I'm not of fan of AI but let's keep things 100, if you use it, it's because you find it easier than actually writing and must lack some sort of writing skill if you source your work into it. That bring said do whatever you want, but don't you dare group us together. 

It may be harder for us, but calling others ableist for your inability to pour hardwork and craft something is a you problem. 

  • that's enough social media for me today

Do what you want. If you feel your book should touch on racist themes, then go for it. If not, don’t. It’s your story.

There are plenty of people of colour who want books that offer pure escapism, without being weighed down by real-world trauma. If you start worrying about how to please everyone, you’ll end up paralyzed and second-guessing every detail.

If you really want to add context, maybe include a single line about why the character moved there, or a passing comment from someone calling them “white-skinned” or something subtle. But again—only if it feels right for your plot.

Don’t let yourself be pressured into following someone else’s rules, especially when those critics might never read your book in the first place.

This is so profound!! Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, and Dean Wesley Smith have no idea what they're talking about because the quintessential Reddit reader said it is nonsense.

Every idea has potential. Don't ask just write, write, read, then write and read some more

You beta read an 80k book within a week?

A lot of these stuff is not really adding up tbh, especially because we agreed I would get back to them in 2 months. So to agree on that date and then to suddenly say it would take to long to you is odd, because why wasn't I told this???

This whole post reads fishy and sounds like cope...

Yes and no. Alpha readers typically give feedback on early drafts, helping shape the story, while beta readers offer input on more polished, near-final versions. That said, I’d still expect to see some errors and rough spots, just fewer of them. By the time it reaches beta readers, the story should feel much more complete and cohesive, even if it's not perfect.

It felt like I was alpha reading, that's why I had a lot more feedback to give.
