I don’t do statues. So no. Nonthi g specific. Just don’t believe anyine us important enough to have a effigy of themselves made.
More importantly. Who cares?
Even the statue’s smirk looks callous and cruel
Surprised you don’t get banned for political posts
F*ck r/manchester
I think she deserves recognition for what she has created. I also think that should be cancelled out because of the uninformed hatred and bile she spews.
Statues are a bit weird when you think about it, immortalising them for that time period may seem ok but then generations in the future they’d be looking upon them like wtf!!
Can you believe all new build homes will have gender neutral bathrooms?
Is she dead? I find it tacky to make statues of people that are alive (plus in this case there are also other issues with that person as we know…)
No!
She made a mediocre book series and then spent the rest of her life writing tweets real great contributors to literature
Definitely. She’s created something wonderful that will be enjoyed for generations to come. Separate that from the politics.
Cringe
Is this a real statue? I think it’s in very poor taste, if so. Not only is JK a known transphobe and bigot but she hasn’t contributed anything to literature.
She wrote a best-selling children’s book that spawned into a best-selling franchise. That doesn’t make Harry Potter Peter Pan or Alice in Wonderland; commercial success does not equal literary merit.
Yes
Is there some campaign to get her a statue? I feel I keep seeing stuff like this.
If she wasn’t such a horrible person, maybe. It’s a bit like giving Gary glitter a Brit award for lifetime achievement though.
Fuck no, I donated all of my first editions to a school library, I didn’t want to profit off her. Absolute thundercunt.
Personally, I don’t think anyone should have a statue of themselves tbh. Statues are symbolic and should exclusively stay symbolic to ambiguous virtues like strength, liberty, and freedom rather than direct representations of a real individual. The values and cultures of a society shift with time, so much so that eventually such individuals no longer act as good representations of it. This is akin to deification, and I don’t really think we should treat any human being like this. It’s also just weird.
No Irn Bru statue, then no TERF til then!
I believe she is
incredible contributions to literature? a mid story about wizards and how they have house slaves that enjoy being slaves is definitely the contribution of all time
She did nothing wrong.
The only good thing to come out of Harry Potter is Daniel Radcliffe
Guys please stop going after JK Rowling, I don’t wanna have to watch a Harry Potter movie out of spite!
Why so angry over one person? Half (more?) our leaders were racist and phobic in some way yet still have statues and monuments in their honour.
