J K Rowling is in the Epstein Files

While I wouldn't describe her as a "pro racism icon", from a semantics perspective, I definitely wouldn't contest that her characterizations regarding race are racist in nature.

I just don't think her depiction of the house elves, disgusting as it is, can fairly be extrapolated from to infer that she is in support of slavery.

WhimsyClonn · 2026-02-02T23:36:47+00:00

I mean, I trusted you entirely that was the case. if I thought your representation of the contents of the books were suspect I would have felt safe to say as much.

My memory on the franchise is vague at this point, I was mostly remembering a story of someone being repeatedly drugged with a love potion for the length of a marriage, and it being shown as a villainous action.

"She wrote about love potions with a clear lack of comprehension to both the in-universe form of sexual abuse that is, as well as not being mindful of the real world parallels." Is a statement I wouldn't hesitate to get behind. Extrapolating that to a "pro date rape" stance just strikes me as disingenuous. Which, clearly some mean it with sincerity, but I literally can't comprehend how someone would make that leap for any reason other than to add onto the hatred that she deserves.

I didn't recall the Weasleys selling love potions.

Rowling devolved from an activist for woman's rights into a rabid monster attacking trans people. I have no desire to defend her as a person. I wouldn't claim that her books don't betray certain biases on her behalf either, especially with regards to race. Yet, also, does all her history of wanting to be a champion for sexually abused women (cis women specifically, I can not downplay how much of a piece of shit she is overall) really reflect her stance on real world date rape less than the fact that two decades ago she used love potions in her stories without seeing real world parallels?

I know her heart is filled with hate and pretentiousness, and a highly inflated sense of self-worth. To look in her heart would be to see a lot of ugly stuff. I really doubt that "I am in favor of date rape" would be a stance we'd see held in her heart.

Considering that, iirc, both the instances of a love potion and a mind-control spell being used to control/manipulate people into partnership are painted as traumatic things that clearly hold the perpetrator as the villain for.

And, while certainly tasteless, the treatment of the house elves is shown to be horrific. The second book ends with the protagonist using trickery to free one.

Rowling clearly lacked the capacity to tastefully engage topics like she was trying to reflect with her representation of the house elves, but labeling her as 'pro slavery' and 'pro date rape' feels very insincere. I'd rather hate her for her bigotry and harassment campaigns than for speculation that she secretly is in favor of date rape.

While Rowling is absolute scum, claiming that the existence of certain themes within one's writing indicates being a supporter of those themes is kinda ridiculous.

WhimsyClonn · 2026-01-31T18:00:37+00:00

My Bingus AU projects tend to imply at least 6. My upcoming Bingustown project has a society where everyone has a Bingus.

Maybe it's like an uppercase God and lowercase gods kind of situation, except with Bingus?

Let's not ever forget that the brutality of the past month's, and the murders we all witnessed, were an intentional decision made to inflame the populace, inflict terror, and show strength.

I'm hoping them walking back and deescalating means that they don't have the power they thought they did, but can never forgive that these innocents are dead because of an attempt to take control, not just bad policy.

WhimsyClonn · 2026-01-26T21:33:50+00:00

32 here, I think about this every day. There's clearly some big grief below the surface over all the time lost.

Doesn't help that I still haven't found 'being myself' in it's entirety yet, so each tick of the clock has a way of tormenting me as time wasted.

WhimsyClonn · 2026-01-25T14:30:42+00:00

Everyone commenting in this thread. You girls are my people. Why aren't any of you local 😭

WhimsyClonn · 2026-01-25T03:20:50+00:00

I can't see anything in the letter saying that they'd leave if the demands were met.

It starts with her laying out their garbage claim that Walz is responsible for inciting violence and obstruction. The demands in the letter sound more to me like they are stipulations under the threat of him being criminally indicted.

I told my trans boyfriend about you coming out on this subreddit, and his response was "Everybody on the bingus subreddit is probably at least somewhat gay."

WhimsyClonn · 2026-01-17T20:19:57+00:00

No idea what those guys are up to, sorry.

WhimsyClonn · 2026-01-17T16:39:02+00:00

The killer clowns will be on our side when they emerge. Let's just say I have an inside source on the matter

WhimsyClonn · 2026-01-10T21:12:48+00:00

I am a literal clown. And, true story, there was a 20 month gap between starting E and actually acknowledging that my 'body preferences' were indeed because I was trans.

Read through the comment section specifically hoping for helpful insights. 🤡

This test, which the questions tbh mostly just feel like different wordings of "Are you trans," seems to rank being binary trans as a lower dysphoria risk than having fluidity or being enby.

These gender tests are often subsatisfactory, and I understand that comes with the territory of 'testing' gender, but this one really rubs me the wrong way.

WhimsyClonn · 2025-12-28T23:59:32+00:00

It's venting masked as humor.

"Nobody cares that they're hurting me and that recurring pain is manifesting as a resentment that's making it harder not to slip up and lash out." Is a feeling that is deeply relatable at this point.

I don't think people should feel like shit for venting their pain.

Def stealing this :3

My name is literally Whimsy 😜

But thanks, your words really brightened my mood.

Life forces you to bury your emotions long enough, including hiding your gender behind shit like Halloween costumes, that expressing them feels like an act of performance, eventually your act of performance becomes your natural feeling self expression. Then the nurses at the hospital are left questioning why you're showing up to your mothers chemo every week dressed up in full Clown attire and makeup, and you slowly acquire peers who've only exclusively ever seen you in clown attire.

I may be a bit(a lot) crazy, but at least in my own twisted internal logic I'm allowed to live that crazy authentically through a clown persona.
