if you’re just joining us, george takei is having to educate jk rowling on holocaust denial
This is of no surprise if you know JKR has been hanging around with literal Nazis for years, while George Takei is a gay man who spent some of his childhood in an American internment camp.
I’m glad to see more of the disguise slip from JKR, but can only hope more people listen to George than to her.
[Edited to expand on this because a lot of people in the notes seem not to realise:] she is not being ignorant. She is not a benighted fool who didn’t take her own advice and check the sources. THIS IS DELIBERATE.
This is a Nazi talking point. This is a technique for conversion and indoctrination designed to shame YOU into not checking your sources. After all, a famous person in a position of authority (whether we like that or not) is shaming the very idea that Nazis persecuted trans people, or that trans people have a history that goes back more than a few decades.
If you haven’t watched Shaun’s JK Rowling’s New Friends and think talk of her hanging around with Nazis is hyperbole, this video is for you:
She is in deep. She is literally friends with known Nazis. She will have been told that the people saying Nazis burned books have unreliable sources. That is why she’s saying this.
You’ll note that George doesn’t @ her. Apart from the fact that literally starting beef with her is likely not something he needs, he knows she is a lost cause. She is primed to dismiss the actual sources. He is sharing the true information, with sources, because her statements mean that other people will now be wondering about this and he’s offering those people an alternative famous person authority AS WELL AS the facts.
