Stand by this.
The majority of these seemingly endless blog posts, articles, and headlines I see are railing against her so it seems the largest bunch of people who could use this advice are the anti-Rowling Purity Police
If they don't like what she said then ignore her or disagree, but going the CANCEL! route of demanding viewpoints you don't agree with be silenced is a horrible path to take. I can easily see a world where Biden's doing well leading into October/November before some "journalist" (ie blogger) asks him about one of the latest trans issues in the news or GWTW being removed or something in this family and he either:
-botches the response and this same vocal batch of folks decide Biden's not pure enough and encourages writing in your favorite trans person of color for President instead.
-nails the "appropriate" response to not ruffle any feathers which only gives Republicans ammo for one of those divisive social issues ("Do you want a President in favor of denying your biological sex?" "Joe Biden supports censorship of film, what's next?") that often push the fence people who seemingly wait until the morning of to decide who to vote for over to the Republican side.
How does someone on "the left" think systematically excommunicating people via cancel culture, people who *identify as liberal* themselves, will do anything but add votes to the other party or simply encourage people to not participate at all because both parties are nuts?
