It wasn't just the goblins — is J.K. Rowling doing Holocaust denial now? - eviltoast

The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

    Their core tenets are moderation and cautiousness.

    Lol no

    Viewing words that prescriptively is kinda insane and willfully ignorant.

    When someone says “gay”, do you start arguing about how “it has nothing to do with sexuality, it just means carefree’, ‘cheerful’, or ‘bright and showy’.”?

    Cmon. Cmon. CMON

      It means both. And both meanings started as positive, then one meaning became the focus and the other completely ignored.

      That’s what you should be upset about.
