Thing is Gaiman pissed off all feminists with the SA allegations so of course he has disappeared from the online world because the cross over between Neil Gaiman readers and SA-appologists is very small.
Whereas a sect of the feminists support her gatekeeping opinion that the only thing that can describe if you’re a woman is being born with a cunt. This one very vocal audience is not unified.
On top of that Rowling is more mainstream than Gaiman is and the general public is more willing to ignore the mudslinging world of gender politics and not get involved if it means more content from a popular mediocre scribe.
yeah, agreed - Gaiman’s fans are far less willing to tolerate his SA, HP fans are more general public and transphobia is more socially acceptable than SA.
Basically this post is essentially saying, “it’s a shame transphobia is so acceptable to people”
Also, I think that the fact that Harry Potter was a big part of people’s childhoods made them more reluctant to abandon it when the creator turned out to be garbage. See: Nintendo.

Bigotry, rape, and stick drift. Yup, totally comparable.
GERM’s is a better term I’ve seen around lately, stands for Gender Exclusionary
RadicalRegressive Misogynists.Edit: thank you for the correction!
I’ve heard the R standing for Regressive since there’s nothing rad about being a bigot
You’re right, that’s what I’ve seen too, and I’ve seen ‘reactionary’ used as well.
Lmao, in my haste to share the new thing I confused the ‘R’ with the one in the original acronym.
oo, I didn’t know about this, thank you - GERM is much better than TERF, lol
I prefer the term “Genital Worrier” or more accurately because they only really worry about one type of transgender person “Penis Panickers”.
Irk? Keeps them nicely sectioned off from being associated with feminism too.
