jk_rowling quote-tweeted someone who was distancing themself from JKR on the basis of JKR being transmisic
bethanyshondark, whose bio point blank says she's a neo-Nazi, replied "You are the hero we needed."
jk_rowling replied "You are the comfort I needed".

I thought it would be possible to hold on to the good bits of Harry Potter canon and sift out the parts rooted in JKR's transmisia and queermisia and antisemitism and
I think I was wrong.
…
ETA: apparently the reason I did not previously hear about this is because the other participant in this twitter thread is a Jewish TERF, not a Nazi (seeseekingferret and jadelennox below)
