[Digipolitik] Wizards v Pokémon. Announcement: #jkrowling is a normal person.

In this transcript, the speaker starts by apologizing for being late to the chat and explains that they were laughing at something crazy. They mention that they were planning to discuss Maya Foster’s case, but it turns out that something more interesting happened. JK Rowling came out in support of someone being able to say that biological sex is real, causing a lot of controversy. The speaker finds it hilarious and highlights the absurdity of the situation. They mention that Maya Foster’s case was about her losing her job for saying things like biological sex cannot change and men shouldn’t compete in women’s sports. The speaker expresses support for Maya and discusses the hashtag #IStandWithMaya that started as a way to rally support and raise funds for her legal appeal. They also mention that JK Rowling joined in the controversy, which was predictable and led to a fallout. The speaker talks about the sense of responsibility they believe Rowling might feel to speak up and counter beliefs they consider detrimental. They mention that attempting to cancel her or burn her books won’t be effective and point out the irony of those calling for book burnings. The transcript ends abruptly without providing the full text of what Rowling said.
