It's fuckin wild that the way this was widely reported was "JK Rowling won't forgive Radcliffe and Watson" instead of say "JK Rowling makes unhinged transphobic tweet and accuses HP actors of harming children"

For one thing the implication from article titles makes it seem like this was a question posed to Rowling and that she didn't just reply to some rando's tweet with some insane rant, but also to my knowledge there's no indication that either actor has issued any kind of apology or ever would or would even accept her forgiveness unless it was attached to some serious self-reflection

Reminds me of how H.P. Lovecraft was so racist that even his racist friends were like, "drat, dude, dial it back a bit."

His wife had to remind him a lot about how she was jewish. Also, one of the last things he ever wrote was ablut great Hitler was.

I thought his later letters to friends were more like "wow what the gently caress was I talking about, I probably should have touched grass earlier"

I'm not an expert but I read Robert Howald talked Lovecraft out of supporting the Nazis.

Okay, doing a little digging it looks like Lovecraft remained super racist but in an extremely weird way:

HP Lovecraft, in a letter to Natalie H. Wooley posted:

With the high-grade alien races we can adopt a policy of flexible common-sense—discouraging mixture whenever we can, but not clamping down the bars so ruthlessly against every individual of slightly mixed ancestry. As a matter of fact, most of the psychological race-differences which strike us so prominently are cultural rather than biological. If one could take a Japanese infant, alter his features to the Anglo-Saxon type through plastic surgery, & place him with an American family in Boston for rearing—without stemming him that he is not an American—the chances are that in 20 years the result would be a typical American youth with very few instincts to distinguish him from his pure Nordic college-mates. The same is true of other superior alien races including the Jew—although the Nazis persist in acting on a false biological conception.

note the "superior alien races" by which he basically means "not black"
