A museum has removed all objects associated with the author of Harry Potter: JK Rowling, who was made a non-person due to her anti-LGBTQ views.
The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle was the one whose management removed all Harry Potter memorabilia from the institution that refers to the author of the extremely popular book series.
As Breitbart reports, while Rowling, a self-proclaimed liberal, was once hailed as a feminist icon — being one of the best-selling female authors of all time — she has now become the object of hate on the far left, labeled by many as a “TERF” (trans exclusionary radical feminist) for criticizes the modern LGBT movement because, in his opinion, it endangers children and interferes with women's living spaces and rights.
The museum's decision to remove Rowling's persona was justified in a lengthy blog post by Chris Moore, a self-identified transgender person, who stated earlier this year that “There is a certain cold, heartless creature in the world of Harry Potter, and this time it's not a Dementor. This particular person is a little too loud with his super hateful and divisive views to ignore... The transphobe's views are coming to the fore these days, but we can't forget about all the other problematic things: the support of anti-Semitic creators, the racial stereotyping that the used to create characters, the incredibly white wizarding world, fat-shaming, the lack of LGBTQIA+ representation of those who don't fit into the standard wizarding world, and so much more.”
Moore wrote that the institution's curators decided to remove all related art from this gallery in order to reduce the effects of the work in this direction.
The museum maintained its stance on Saturday, telling London's Daily Telegraph: “MoPOP is proud to support its staff and is a clear supporter of the non-binary and transgender communities. In an increasingly divided world, pop culture can unite, inspire and initiate important conversations. Education and creative expression are at the heart of our mission, and in our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, we strive to uplift those who are left out of mainstream pop culture communication, amplifying the voices and stories that aren't always present. and on the walls of museums."
It was not only in the United States that attempts were made to remove publications and objects associated with the well-known author from museums.
Earlier this week, it emerged that Britain's libraries have been advised to "bury" books written by authors critical of the transgender movement.
Although Rowling was not specifically named, the guidance warned libraries not to prominently display the works of writers who hold the same views as Rowling, Breitbart reports.
