Low-class idiots are taking cancel culture to a new level.
The NY Post reported that Seattle-based the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) removed all mention of JK Rowling from their “Harry Potter” exhibit after calling her a “cold, heartless, joy-sucking entity,” according to a blog post that was posted in May.
Project manager Chris Moore, who is transgender, authored the piece and claimed that they would “love to go with the internet’s theory that these books were actually written without an author.”
“But this certain person is a bit too vocal with her super hateful and divisive views to be ignored,” continued the post. “For the time being, the curators decided to remove any of her artifacts from this gallery to reduce her impact.”
“It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s what we were able to do in the short-term while determining long-term practices.”
The Daily Mail has reported that MoPOP has kept the “Harry Potter” memorabilia on display, but Rowling’s name is not mentioned anywhere in the exhibit.
Moore’s post continues to point out other ways that Rowling, 58, has supported antisemitic creators and mentions that while writing “Potter,” the author included several racial stereotypes — such as the goblins of Gringotts, whose depiction has been compared to the Jewish community, or the fact that everyone in the books appeared to be white, as well as the lack of LGBTQ representation — and thus fostering a “super-chill outlook on the bigotry.”
Rowling went viral in 2020 after retweeting an op-ed piece that discussed “people who menstruate” and was seemingly offended that the article did not use the term “women.”
“‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?” she wrote
Rowling has noted that she plans to “lay in champagne” while activists boycott.
“Dreadful news, which I feel duty bound to share. Activists in my mentions are trying to organize yet another boycott of my work, this time of the Harry Potter TV show, Rowling cheekily shared on X. “As forewarned is forearmed, I’ve taken the precaution of laying in a large stock of champagne.”

So much for freedom of thought and intellectual independence in America!
Now we must think as men who think they are women tell us we must think, to which I say in return pogue mahone!
