It wasn't just the goblins — is J.K. Rowling doing Holocaust denial now?
When asked why the British author's views on trans people aligned with the Nazis, and Rowling said that Nazis did not persecute trans people.
The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.
You're viewing a single thread.
Harry Potter and tales of the gas chamber.
she was already a transphobe, So she is pandering anti-trans bullshit, that's different from holocaust denial and even if it is, she just evolved from transphobe to holocaust denier.
Trans, gay, Romani, Black people all got deported to concentration camps as well as jews. The death machinery worked against a lot of people, even if it was designed to exterminate jews.
They even had a badgesystem to visually identify for what "crime" someone was in the camp.

Edit: As well as other groups of people, a complete lists is basically impossible. Communists where early victims, but disabled people where also brought to the camps and killed for the "Volksgesundheit".
You can't become more right just by being angry
Your summarized argument is thus:
It' can't be Holocaust denial because I'm only denying PART of the Holocaust
Correct?
If so, then you are wrong. Sorry.
I don't make the rules but you really should follow them.

No, My argument is one is history illiterate asshole while the other is special-grade asshole, and putting both under the same blanket gives the latter one more power,
Just like there are stupid people who think the moon landing is fake and then there are anti-vaxxers, one is just stupid while the latter is much more destructive and potentially harmful to society.
there are overlaps between them and they can be totally categorized as one but we need separation to neutralize the potential damage they can cause.
one is history illiterate asshole while the other is special-grade asshole
I contend that they are the same type of asshole with the same goal but they present their arguments in a way that makes a portion of the populace jump ever so slightly onto their side. If they can get people to agree that one portion of the Holocaust was more tragic than another then they have already begun to chip away at what made the Holocaust so horrendous. Holocaust denial isn't about not thinking it happened, it's about pretending they think it didn't happen to devillainize their side. Just because they picked one group affected by the Holocaust over another doesn't make it any less Holocaust denial, it just makes it Holocaust denial that doesn't bother you, meaning they won.
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for meClassic nazi tactic to come for groups you don't care about so they can eventually come for you.
This goal post shift is so long reached, you probably needed to get a city permit to move it.
Fuck off with your bullshit. The Nazis DID deliberately target sexual minorities and other groups, in fact sexual minorities were the first people they went after. Destroying LGBT people was absolutely part of their eugenics philosophy.
This is Holocaust denial. Fucking Nazi-defending homophobe.
Fucking Nazi-defending homophobe.
hitler and Nazi-defending are like a prefix of disagreement, but a homophobe, where does that come from, that is too specific cause If you think I am defending J.K then doesn't transphobe makes more sense or if you go by the logic that I hate queer people shouldn't it be anti-queer or queerphobe?
Lmao this is the guy who's like "hey Nazis suck but....."
Then 2 years later you see him sig hailing on some Facebook pic and like "yupppp"
What a tool.
Hey buddy, that sounds like projection. Just because you're already cool with Nazis and fascists as long as they vote Democrat doesn't mean the rest of us are.
If you lived in 1930s Germany you'd be the loser telling us to vote for Hindenburg to "stop the Nazis", right before he made Hitler chancellor.
It's always centrists who end up saluting a dictator. Cowards. Go fuck yourself, Nazi lover
Youb blatantly minimized that the Nazis targeted LBTQ people in the Holocaust. That's 100% homophobia. But apparently we aren't allowed to call that out here.
I agree, but the tribe has made up its mind.
You're either with them, or against them. There is no in-between.
Yeah I hate it when "the tribe" calls out my factually wrong opinions.
How can an opinion be "factually wrong?"
Lol.
There you go doing it again. Pretending that anyone who goes against the tribe is immediately, factually wrong.
Thanks for proving my point.
They are not factually wrong becuase their opinion does not match the popular opinion. They are factually wrong because their opinion does not align with the fact that the holocaust was not only about exterminating jews.
How can an opinion be “factually wrong?”
If I formed the opinion that the third Reich did not want to exterminate disabled people as part of the holocaust that would be factually wrong. That's how facts and opinions work.
You don't know what the word "opinion" means. I highly recommend brushing up on your vocabulary.
Let's quote the oxford dictionary then:
opinion (noun) your feelings or thoughts about somebody/something, rather than a fact
In this context the opinion is the thought that the holocaust was only about exterminating jews. This thought does not align with the facts.
Wow. You also need to brush up on your reading comprehension because you can't even understand the words you're reading!
Goodbye. I'm gonna block you now because you aren't worth conversing with.
People have the opinion that the climate isn't changing. People have the opinion that the world is flat. People have the opinion everyone with dark skin is sub human.
Some people frame their terrible views as opinions so they can use the bad faith argument that it's just a difference of opinions so everyone should just be ok with their hateful or ignorant stances. Some people frame their terrible views as opinions to try and avoid valid criticism of their opinions contradictions with reality.
You are fervently engaging in a behavior exhibited by the hateful and ignorant and there is a pretty safe bet as to why.
