On J.K. Rowling:

"It's horrendous, a load of bollocks. I think she has been hounded. It's been taken to the extreme, the judgmentalism of people. She's allowed her opinion, particularly if she's suffered abuse," Bonham Carter said of Rowling, seemingly referring to Rowling's 2020 revelation that she's a domestic abuse and sexual assault survivor.

 

"Everybody carries their own history of trauma and forms their opinions from that trauma and you have to respect where people come from and their pain," she said. "You don't all have to agree on everything — that would be insane and boring. She's not meaning it aggressively, she's just saying something out of her own experience."

**** this ****

[Redstreak]

Defending both Johnny and known TERF Rowling? Weird how that’s the company Mr Depp keeps getting support from!

[Liafen]

helena... you in danger girl. 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

What “trauma” has JK Rowling dealt with at the hands of trans people that warrants such vile opinions against them? What?!!
 

Rowling has largely contributed to anti-trans rhetoric and views among society nowadays and helped normalize hate. It’s terrible really.

 

Wtf kind of opinion is that from Helena - where is JK’s “trauma”?! As far as I can see JK brought all the current hate she gets into herself and continues to do so to this day. I -

 

I wasn’t planning to respond to this thread and was just gonna roll at my eyes at whatever she said but I am baffled even more than I expected to be.

[conquxror]

she should’ve just minded her business… lmao she’s about to canceled for defending the terf  tragic

[Patient Zero]

I'm curious about the abuse Rowling went through and how that made her transphobic...

[Alyssa Edwards]

Not my trans sistrens you *****

And what's the correlation between domestic violence and transphobia?

[fauxtography]

The johnny thing is one thing, but her statement on JK is so privileged. Like yeah, must be nice to say that being anti-trans is just a "matter of opinion" and she's being judged "too harshly."

 

Is JK not judging a whole minority group to harshly?

[Proseductice]

Why do people keep saying we have to respect other people's opinions when the "opinions" are just the unacceptance of marginalized communities having rights or a voice? 

 

An opinion is saying you like wheat bread over rye like-......

Well, JK is a militant feminist (though she doesn't even do that successfully) so I'm sure its some backwards reasoning that she's allowed to hate men, including assigned male at birth.

[Totami Legend]

Thank you for speaking up. Cancelled. 

[thinking]

Let me separate the artist from the art <3

[cockatoo]

Well that's disappointing  

[ConceptD]

Was JK Rowling abused by a trans person? No! So how is her past anything to do with her blatant and horrific transphobia? 
 

with regards to Amber and Johnny, I feel like they were abusive to each other and should both never work again because me too should apply for both genders and neither were helpless victims in my opinion.

I know you’re not defending her, but she’s not really a feminist. She’s a TERF. Real feminists stand for trans women, who are probably the most **** upon people on this entire planet. 

[Trent W]

God I wish these actors didn’t open their mouths anymore

 

I love a lot of her movies/series.

 

This won’t change that, but now she will be dragged all the time online and anything she participates in will get dragged, people won’t care if it’s good or bad.

 

I disagree with her about Rowling.

[suburbannature]

Yikes

Well that's why I was saying she doesn't even do it successfully. I mean, she was literally co-signing staunch conservatives who were publicly anti-choice just to have some validation on anti-trans rhetoric.

 

Just historically, before she opened her mouth on her anti-trans rhetoric, she was a pretty prolific man hating feminist.

[drsouchan]

don't forget she's a homewrecker.

Helena Bonham Carter stole Emma Thompson's ex-husband in 90s,

Emma Thompson was very forgiving for forgave her over affair.

Another one in the casket, I guess. 

[Lovett]

No!  Helena, not you! My favourite actress growing up. Ffs, I absolutely cannot defend this. I'm so ashamed of her.
