Baylor Professor Ripped On For Insane JK Rowling Social Media Post
If you're not familiar with the phenomenon of being "ratioed" on X, it's when you post something and it receives way more people replying to you — usually in disagreement — than there are people who simply liked the post.
Thanks to a professor from Baylor University and a wild tweet about Harry Potter author and the woman who isn't scared of some dumb Scottish law, JK Rowling, I can show you a textbook example of what it looks like when someone gets ratioed.
According to his bio on X, Greg Garrett is a professor of "Lit and Culture" and he decided to share the details of a "necessary conversation" that he claims happened in his Harry Potter class at Baylor.
Yes, people are paying thousands of dollars to learn about Harry Potter…
Oh boy… is this the kind of professor you'd want teaching your kid's Harry Potter class?
Why, at this rate, some would rather have Professor Snape or — dare I say? — He Who Shall Not Be Named educating their young muggles.
Look, who knows whether or not this happened? It probably did, but this feels like one of those tweets where someone says they heard their five-year-old was in the other room crying because Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Also, how many times must we go over this: Rowling has made it clear that she doesn't "hate" trans people. She has made that perfectly clear on X many, many times. You can be in favor of women's rights and spaces not being overrun by men and not hate trans people. Those are not mutually exclusive thoughts, despite what progressives believe.
I also love that the words "diversity, equity, and inclusion" are in there for good measure. It has to be. If you're on a progressive soapbox and you don't include DEI, you're doing it wrong.
Man, something tells me this Harry Potter professor was all in when they decided to rename Quidditch.
Of course, he was hearing it in the replies Tennis great Martina Navratilova even got in on the fun!
I think the last person meant to write "dunk," but you can still see what they were going for.
The way the left-leaning folks have turned on JK Rowling in recent years because she had the gall to say men and women are different, continues to be one of the bigger shows of insanity from a group of people known for having some screws loose.
