That was actually the whole joke here. She spent all this time spreading unfounded rumors about trans people and now there will be unfounded rumors about her because Epstein mentioned her in an email.
The joke in the meme is John Cena laughing at JKR being in the Epstein files, though.
That’s not a joke, it’s disinformation.
If the text said something about it being rumored, that would feel more like a joke. That would be sweet karma. But it’s not cool when they post disinformation, and it’s not cool when we do it either.
While it’s non-defensible; a lot of people just believe what they see in memes. A family member of mine is like that.
The joke in the meme is John Cena laughing at JKR being in the Epstein files, though. That’s not a joke, it’s disinformation.
But JKR is objectively “in the Epstein files.” It’s not clear whether she was directly or intentionally involved, but her name is absolutely present in the files. This meme isn’t misinformation at all.
“The guy who says ‘You can’t see me’ thinks its funny that JKR is in the Epstein files” doesn’t change anything.
The “personal attack” quip shows your hand, anyway.
Look, all I’m saying is that if someone goes and repeats disinformation to someone who knows better, it makes them look dumb, which makes the movement look dumb. It doesn’t help anyone. It makes us more emotional, which makes us less effective.

Her name appearing in the files is not the same as “JK Rowling being in the files.”
Don’t defend this kind of thinking… When I see it, I just see an agitator.
After the shit she’s pulled, i could not give a single wet fart about the precious reputation of that transphobic little fuck.
It’s not about her. It’s about us and the standards we hold ourselves to.
One of my standards is not rewarding people who dedicate their lives to killing my friends
It’s not about her. You’re using anger to justify a lie. Valid anger, but still.
John Cena… The guy who’s famous for saying “You can’t see me!” which spawned millions of memes.
It’s called tongue in cheek… I deserve smarter detractors.
That makes no sense.

Sounds like your meme went over my head then, but I still maintain that the comment I replied to is possibly misinformation.
Thank you for bringing this up. I agree, disinformation is harmful no matter where it comes from.
