<p dir="auto">No, Neo-liberalism is the correct term. Technically, it is the modern approach to capitalism that is shared between "mainstream" politicians, whether self identifying as conservative or liberal. Every president in recent memory was/is neo-liberal, whether Reagan or Obama.</p>

<p dir="auto">If you are denying that JK is a transphobe, then you simply haven't been paying attention. She's actively opposed legislation helping trans people and made plainly transphobic comments, multiple times.<br />
No, she has not. The legislation she opposed was one where anyone could change gender legally just by stating it, so a male rapist could be sentenced to serve in a women's prison if he wanted to. She was actually addressing the potential consequences of a spectacularly ridiculous legislation, not opposing trans rights in any way, shape or form. And feel free to post anything she has written or said which could possibly qualify as transphobic. So far I haven't seen a single thing, from anyone.<br />
How it works is that he gets to talk about what he wants to talk about. And he was completely justified in his approach.<br />
Sure, if he wants to look like an idiot. If he wants to be taken seriously by anyone who doesn't already agree with him, he needs to avoid logical fallacies.<br />
At the time he uploaded the video, JK's transphobia had already been established and discussed for years,<br />
Discussed, sure. Established? Not remotely.<br />
but no one had really gone over the surprisingly conservative politics of her popular books.<br />
Then that's what Shaun should have done, and any trans discussion would be completely irrelevant and only distract from his point - which<br />
may<br />
be valid, but will carry less weight because he chose to open with an informal fallacy.</p>

<p dir="auto">Because it is true<br />
It demonstrably is not.<br />
and particularly relevant in today's environment.<br />
If it's relevant, then talk about it. That's not "retreading" anything. If it's not relevant, don't mention it. That's how it works. Don't poison the well just because you don't<br />
like<br />
someone, especially when you have to resort to lies in order to do it. "I will now present an analysis of this author's works, but before we begin, let me remind you that the author is a very bad person." That's a pretty low brow logical fallacy.<br />
Your loss, then.<br />

<p dir="auto">I usually like Shaun, but I couldn't watch beyond his patently absurd declaration that Rowling is a "committed and very vocal opponent of trans rights" - listing, of course, no examples, and smugly putting it aside as other Youtubers have allegedly dealt with it extensively. "It is an irrefutable fact that she's a ****, but we're not going to talk about that here." How nice of you to open by poisoning the well, Shaun. What a guy.</p>
