The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle has removed JK Rowling's name from the latest Harry Potter exhibition, effectively erasing the author's presence.

The project manager, transgender individual Chris Moore, explained the reason for this decision in a blog post, stating, 'We are happy to treat these books as anonymous works because her negative influence is too significant. To eliminate this impact, we can only erase her name.'

他强烈谴责了关于J.K.罗琳关于跨性别的言论,还批判J.K.罗琳存在反犹太主义的问题,并抨击罗琳在创作角色时使用刻板的种族形象,创造了一个充满白人以及缺乏LGBTQIA+群体的魔法世界,并指责罗琳对于那些不适合魔法世界的人所表现出来的冷漠等等。

The project manager even likened Rowling to the soul-sucking Dementors from the novels.

However, the museum continues to display artifacts and props related to the works. The exhibit describes 'Harry Potter' as beloved by readers, and the author's three-part biography remains intact, except for JK Rowling's name being removed.

The project manager admitted that this is not a perfect solution, but it was a pragmatic approach considering feasibility.

是不是再过几年,这部广受欢迎的系列小说将被直接更换作者了?

JK Rowling faced backlash mainly due to her insistence that transgender individuals are not real women unless there is substantial medical evidence. Her comments led to a rift between her and the 'White Eye Wolf' group from the 'Harry Potter' film series, with only Luna Lovegood and Voldemort Ralph Fiennes coming to her defense.

The boycott wave also affected the production of the upcoming 'Harry Potter' TV series. Warner Bros. has been trying to mitigate the passive situation caused by JK Rowling's involvement, but the impact remains.
