Quick note: In case we don't make it clear enough, J.K. Rowling is a horrific person who has used her status and wealth to actively harm the trans community. This is not something we believe in nor stand for. If we made money from this podcast, we would donate proceeds from this episode to a charity. Since we don't, we will continue to advocate for the right for trans people to fully be themselves out and loud and proud.
In this episode of Write Out Loud, hosts Matt and Christina delve into the complicated relationship between art and its creator, using JK Rowling as a focal point. They explore the concept of controversial art, the responsibilities and consequences for writers who express personal views, and whether or not it's possible or even necessary to separate the artist from their work. The conversation touches on themes of hope, empathy, and the impact of storytelling on society, encouraging listeners to form their own opinions about the intersection of art and the artist's personal beliefs.
