Harry Potter Author Slams Putin After Russian President Includes Her In 'Cancel Culture' Rant

[blue-wave]

J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, has responded to comments made on March 25 by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who accused the West of trying to cancel Russia's rich musical and literary culture.

Rowling pushed back after Putin dragged her into a rant against efforts to “cancel’’ Russian culture as he spoke with leading cultural figures in a national television broadcast.

“Critiques of Western cancel culture are possibly not best made by those currently slaughtering civilians for the crime of resistance, or who jail and poison their critics,” the British author said on Twitter. She also posted an article about jailed anti-corruption campaigner Aleksei Navalny.

1. Pot calling the kettle black

The TERF literally cannot see the hypocrisy of her words. I mean for real.

2. Obscure 4LAs should be explained

Obscure four letter acronyms should be explained by the writer without dozens of readers scratching heads before one has the temerity to approach and ask, cap in hand, please writer explain what you wrote.

WTF (What the fuck) is a TERF?

3. Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist

And I think Rowling's picture is next to the definition in the dictionary
