I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.

My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.

    She’s been labelled a transphobe for being a transphobe lmao. “Traditional feminist beliefs” my ass.

    In the midst of a concentrated effort by conservatives across the US to ban books, it’s utterly ridiculous that you’re whining about “thought censorship” because people are criticizing JKRs transphobia. Criticism is censorship? Come on

      We are all entitled to our opinions. I think that trans activism has gone too far and I no longer support it, specifically because of interactions like this. I looked at what she said, and it wasn’t hateful at all, it just didn’t blindly support trans ideology. If you have some quotes of hers you wanna share that you think might change my mind, please do.

        I don’t care about changing your mind lmao, you’re a random asshole on the internet. I just wanted to point out how completely ridiculous you sound to label other people’s opinions of a famous person as censorship, but your bigoted opinions of normal everyday people you don’t think should have rights are somehow just harmless opinions nobody can comment on. Wild that you clearly consider yourself intelligent

          You know… you attitude of accusing everyone of being an enemy the moment they do not fully share your opinon always reminds me of the stories my grandfather told me about the Communists and Nazis. There was always a point where someone was not pure enough in his opinion and got thrown out of the groupe. Not saying you follow any of suche idologies but when you became so self-rightious and blind that you cannot see the other person as human being anymore that is flawed then you have lost your path.
