DiscussionJK Rowling mentioned in a negative light on Jeopardy
Posted October 27, 2023 by bunyip in Television

Two days ago on Celebrity Jeopardy they had this clue:

Partly to distance themselves from J.K. Rowling, athletes are now replacing this name for their sport with "quadball"

This isn't a blatant attack on Rowling, and is technically a truthful description, but it seems to me they went out of their way to spread the idea that Rowling is a negative figure that people want to distance themselves from. I don't believe they would write a clue like this:

"Partly to distance themselves from Barack Obama, men's clothing designers stopped producing suits in this color"

Jeopardy used to be a show that promoted intelligence and curiosity and learning, but after Alex Trebek passed away it has joined in supporting trans ideology. There have been two prominent TIM contestants, one of which is recognized as the most successful female contestant in the show's history. There has also been a TIF "they", and the show has complied with all pronoun demands.

There was one particularly absurd game in the Tournament of Champions where the TIM and TIF competed against each other, where the man was called "she" but the only female contestant was not. It was sad to see the show's host and producers make a fool out of themselves like that.
