You may be asking yourself if I was making a subtle jab at Just-Kidding-Rowling with these. Honestly, I didn’t think it was that subtle, but here we are. My original concept for these was actually a sweater that said “Just try to burn this witch”. But when I was telling someone about it they got really weird and asked if I’m still into JK’s work after everything and I was so confused. It turns out she started making slogan merch that said “This witch won’t burn” after she was cancelled and I was LIVID. That slogan slaps and it’s absolute bullshit that she gets to use it! I haven’t kept up with any of her stuff, so I didn’t know about it, but the one thing I know for sure is she didn’t write the slogan because it’s actually very good. 24 hours later I rage designed these socks.
Yeah, right
JKR didn’t think of it, you totally did
Someone who fell for, and has conformed to, the most stupidest mass delusion since, well, the other witch trials
Sorry, but we know which side of the accusing finger you’d be on
“young girls began experiencing fits of screaming, strange bodily contortions, and murmuring incoherent sounds”
Sounds like any one of the TRAs at Let Women Speak
To be fair, JKR didn't write it or produce the merch, it was a Wild Womyn Workshop design that she liked (and bought?) and tweeted about.
I wouldn't expect handmaidens to fact-check what their fellow gendercultists tell them are trufax before working themselves up into an indignant hipster "I liked it before the Queen of TERFs did!!!"-type of tizzy though, lmao.
Probably! I have vague recollections of feminists using it when I was younger, but I don't have a clue as to the originator or when it was first used. As far as I'm aware that's the first time it was used by JKR and put on merch, though. :)
the woman who wrote the most successful book series of all time, who is (or was i guess) one of the most respected authors on the planet, was unable to come up with a slogan??
The new craze is to say Harry Potter was truly poorly written all along 🙄
There are definitely criticism, that can be vaguely wrapped up into it being frustrating as a fantasy novel but the prose itself is top tier, not just for children's lit but for lit in general
What is a TERF? "TERF" supposedly stands for "trans exclusionary radical feminist" but the term is used as a slur against anyone who disagrees with a proponent of transgender ideology.
We're documenting the hateful rhetoric directed at lesbians, radical feminists, gender critical feminists, and others on the internet and beyond.
All posts must exhibit "TERF" being used as a slur or harassment or violence against so-called "TERFs."

/o/ItsAFetish: documenting examples of fetishism (primarily autogynephilia) within the trans community and discussing implications from a feminist perspective
/o/TransLogic: a radical feminist circle documenting the various illogical, incorrect, misogynistic, racist, and otherwise caustic rhetoric spouted from TRAs themselves
/o/Cancelled: cataloguing the attempts (generally by those in some position of power) to silence those who speak out against the queercult
"The trans-invented term of TERF invites violence against radical feminists and other women who won’t get with the transgender program. Their branding of women as TERFs is a form of trans hate speech that attempts to shame radical women and provoke compliance with trans activists’ demands." –Janice G Raymond, Doublethink
Yeah, right

The saying goes back a while, doesn't it?

It was around in the 90s, right?
