I wasn’t aware other countries played 5 clicks to Hitler as well.

Not sure where you’re at but I do this frequently. Also do an IMDb pick an actor and a movie and see how quickly you can get that movie by navigating cast lists and credits I.e Will Smith > Ad Astra

Will Smith > Men in Black > Tommy Lee Jones > Ad Astra. That’s a simple one, but you get the idea.

Isn’t this just a twist on “degrees of Kevin Bacon”?

I like to do “hard mode” where I can’t click any list articles. Otherwise it’s too easy to click any name, then the country they’re from, then list of countries, then Germany, then nazi.

SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 4 days ago

Germany. And to be honest, it might be easier over here.

Wow, I didn’t know about either, Wikipedia speedruns or JKR’s Holocaust denialism. Thanks, OP.

She is very much a TERF, an acephobe, probably kinda racist (just look at her character names), and therefore quite a horrible person; but, while it wouldn’t surprise me if she was, she is not a nazi.

Acephobe??? I was unaware. Good to know I’m hated double.

Honestly, calling everyone a nazi just feeds into the right’s narrative of “oh they call everyone a nazi, ignore them”.

I’m not defending anyone, especially not J.K. Rowling, but this isn’t helping our cause, quite the contrary actually.

It’s a bit like Kleenex and velcro. They lose there trademark the more people that get groups with Naziism. Unfortunately no one is protecting the nazi brand.

I don’t see anything about holocaust denial in your link. There’s a 2018 article discussing parallels between her work and the real holocaust but it doesn’t claim she’s a denier. I don’t really care for Rowling but I also don’t like misinformation. If there is some evidence can you please share it?

She thinks that transgender people were not prosecuted during the Holocaust.

Source?

I have seen zero credible sources for this specific claim of Holocaust denial. The closest I’ve found is that she argued that trans people weren’t the first group targeted by the Nazis. (Not denying that they were targeted. Just disputing that they were first.) That’s not the same as “Holocaust denial.”

I already know she’s a bad person who uses her celebrity to spread hate and spends her time and money trying to further oppress some of the most marginalized people in the world. We can dislike her for those very real reasons without spreading false stories about her.
