Look, as much as I dislike Rowling's terf bullshit, I haven't heard of any human trafficking allegations involving her.

Look, as much as I dislike Tate's misogyny bullshit I haven't heard of trans rights being rolled back due to his involvement in lobbying and funding hate-groups.
Let's just say both of them are horrible human beings.

Of course they're both horrible but then what's the point of this meme? That they're both bad?

Both are serving as a pipeline for group-based enmity/bigotry for a specific target group. Tate pulls in sexually frustrated and insecure men and turns them into mysogynists. JKR pulls in middle aged insecure liberal-feminists and introduces them to transphobia.

I certainly agree with that. You make a good point.

She donates her considerable money to anti trans causes.
Capital at scale is capable of far more damage than any other individual action can be.
A billionaire funding conservative aka cruel causes is being more effectively harmful than literally any serial killer in history, and depending on the cause, in some cases every serial killer in history put together.
A billionaire lobbying to maintain the American Healthcare system, aka our murder for profit confidence scheme industry, has a body count that would make Jackthe Ripper blush.
To be fair to serial killers though, their murders are artisinal and hand crafted, not mass produced.

She's kept herself to the indirect harm options.
Given what we know about mental health issues for trans folks, there's definitely been some lives lost as a result of her choices, we just can't prove a link.

Nah, some of Rowlings ideas are fantastical and fun at least. Nothing that cromagnon goon Tate says nor thinks has any worth at all.

Can we pit them against each other....without a risk of them joining each other like a binary black hole of dumb?
