They're making a play depicting Harry Potter stars holding an "intervention" (read: struggle session) for JK Rowling about her anti-trans stance. Literally titled "TERF." Article reports on a problem finding an actress to play Rowling. (archive.ph)

That sounds a bit obsessive. And legally risky, considering it's basically slander of a living person.

Libel too. Scripts are printed, yeah?

Transgender communists are the most obsessive, hateful people in the world.

What risk? The AG won't press charges. They're all owned by the faggots pushing this degeneracy.

Libel/slander are civil litigation, it's not a matter of "pressing charges." Criminal prosecutors have nothing to do with it.

On top of that, it looks like this production is in the UK, where the libel laws are so ridiculous that satirical publications are routinely forced to pay out obnoxious sums to the subjects of their satire.

Article reports on a problem finding an actress to play Rowling.

Everyone involved probably has trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality. Any actress taking on the role could wind up getting Baldwinned if the script calls for her death.

On top of that, who would possibly want to volunteer to be in a play where you're basically just getting screamed at the whole performance?

My guess is these people are refusing because they don't want to be the person that played JK, not anything about the performance itself.

They should have JK played by a blowup doll. It will solve their problem and complete the absurd look of their little struggle session.

It might also be because they're afraid of being sued for slander/libel/whatever by an extremely rich person, who has thus far shown she's fine with fighting back against (some of) the insanity in current clown world, and who can throw money at numerous high priced lawyers which could lawfare anyone dumb enough to take the role into destitution.

it could be a career-ending move if they get strongly associated with the role. no one will want to see her on the screen again.

They can never let her go, can they? Dot org link here.

They really did get mind broken that their childhood book got ruined.

It sort of makes me want to ruin more of their fun. Y'think they'll learn this time to stop destroying things other people like?

Yeah, I didn't think so either.

Thank God for Based Mods having a mod to remove non-Whites from centuries-ago Scotland, and the troon from Hogwart's Legacy.

I might try it via torrent with that mod if I ever get a computer that can run it. ( Not paying for people who put non-Whites and a troon in old Scotland though. )

It's even sadder than that, nothing at all was changed. Even that game that came out a few years ago was by all accounts a faithful recreation of the tone and setting. Not like how the things we like keep getting taken over by subversive elements who make drastic changes for the spite of it. Only thing that's changed with Harry Potter was the opinions of it's creator made it no longer fashionable to be a fan of it if you wish to maintain a positive reputation with the lefty activist clique.

To be fair I wouldn't wish something like 'the cursed child' on any fandom and that was endorsed by the author herself as canon.

Doesn't J K Rowling hold ALL creative licences with regards to ANYTHING Harry Potter?

So either they paid her on which case she'll be laughing tweeting receipts after she's 'owned' or her lawyers are seeing a new paycheck just waiting for them.

It's not a Harry Potter production, it's supposed to be about the actors and Rowling.

I think a smart enough and WELL PAID enough lawyer can make the case it is.

Honestly though, she has enough money and resources that the extremely far left SNP party that controls Scotland where she lives WON'T touch her for her anti tranny rhetoric, I think she can burn this in lawfare if she wanted to.

Do celebrities enjoy protection against people trying to profit from their image in the UK?

Like some US actress getting AI chatbot that sounded like her, and advertised with her name, taken down.

A bit dystopian and restrictive though.

Legal speculation aside, Woke cultists are trying to stage a pretend struggle-session to metaphorically punish Rowling for blasphemy against the Sacred Commandment of Girldick worshipping. So they can soothe their anxiety comming from a proeminent public figure openly opposing their shit with impunity. It drives them up the fucking wall.

That's unhinged and concerning. ( Like that troon writing a fiction about a troon raping Rowling. )

IMO that shouldn't be illegal, as long as you are not committing fraud. (for example actually pretending the actress endorses your product) But it probably is, and her likeness is protected under UK law except in specific circumstances. The other side will try to argue parody.

I don't know how it is in the UK but you cannot just cry parody and it protects you from everything involving it.

It would be kind of bad ass if JK Rowling offered to play herself and tore these mentally ill goons a new one on stage.

Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-sex spaces."

She is a leftist woman, but damn that is based.

If I was her I would go to the show with a front row ticket and interrupt constantly with things like "OMG I would NEVER say that!"

funny how all the focus is on how they won't participate, but nothing about the fact that some psycho wrote an entire fucking play to criticize one woman with whom they disagree.

this is how our news operates - things they agree with they write about, or don't write about, in a normal way like it's natural behavior. but anybody that disagrees with the jew globohomo agenda is relentlessly attacked.

i really fucking hate this world and everything about. it would be better off without any jews in it.
