> [@damuriajashi](#): > > Am I the only one that knows that Rowling’s has controversial views on the trans issues? Uh, no. But i still don’t see why she’s relevant to a thread about right-wing beer, especially if you don’t think she’s an example of a right winger. ---

Pretty much everyone knows that and knows it is a favorite talking point of people trying to drive conversations in a certain way. It is amazingly similar to a play from the trolling handbook in fact. She wasn’t relevant to that thread. ---

No one on this board could possibly NOT know that, since there was an immensely long ongoing thread that became so annoying I finally muted the thread so I never had to see it again. ---

So I see this poster “joined” after the transition to Discourse and under his old profile has 9 prior warnings. This has also been bumped up to the Modloop. ---

> [@damuriajashi](#): > > I hope you’re kidding Nope! Really pleased by the progress the last couple of years. Especially with the moderation lately! Really even-handed, much more transparent, snazzy avatars, what’s not to like? We’ve lost some posters along the way but, weirdly, I don’t miss them at all. I’m sure they’re much happier wherever they are now - probably posting their bilious drek in a nice forum upstate. ---

Wait, what? I literally just posted a video in another thread. Is that not allowed? If I get a warning I take back **everything nice I ever said about the mods.** ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > No one on this board could possibly NOT know that, since there was an immensely long ongoing thread that became so annoying I finally muted the thread so I never had to see it a I knew nothing about Rowlings stance on trans until today, and quite frankly I’m still not sure what it is. The fact that I don’t give a damn about Harry Potter or Rowling must be part of the reason. I’m sure the thread you mentioned was viewed by many posters, but not all of them. ---

In response to a comment about budweiser that was obviously referring to the Dylan Mulvaney kerfuffle, I say that it seems like an odd reaction because Dylan Mulvaney is not a minor and none of the folks that drink beer are minors either. > [@Conservative beer?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/conservative-beer/982671/24): > > I don’t understand the outrage on this issue. This is very different than the child welfare concerns that people seem to be focused on. I mean Dylan Mulvaney is an adult. The consumers of beer are adults. So in response to my comment, someone implied that having issues with trans was a conservative thing. In response to that comment I pointed out that a lot of folks that noone could reasonably call conservative also have differeing opinions on trans issues. I gave rowlings as an example but I could just as easily have pointed to several other bona fide liberals. I didn’t harp on her. > [@Conservative beer?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/conservative-beer/982671/26): > > She’s not an athlete either. And its not exactly clear that this is a left/right issue. Painting JK Rowlings as “right” is pretty inconsistent with everything she has done and said outside of this one issue. And the conversation evolved from there. I don’t see how this is a hijack but YMMV. ---

Because she is an example of someone who is NOT on the right and does not support the idea that “transwomen are women” AM I going crazy or isn’t that thread a direct reference to the Dylan Mulvaney kerfuffle? ---

But of course she was. At least in the way i introduce her to the thread. She was a contra example. If talked about how much the left hated the country and its democratic ideals and you brought up Trump and the January 6th insurrection, could I honestly say you were trying to derail the conversation by bringing up trump? C’mon now. ---

I don’t know that you are supposed to be advertising stuff about my account but I have been around the iraq invasion. I think there was some sort of issue during the transfer. Also I can’t find 9 warnings. In fact I don’t see any on discourse. ---

I guess YMMV. I guess some people liked the fact that people with differing views debated things here and others just wanted an echo chamber.
