It’s kinda funny that she became a hero to the right

Well - one day she stood up for women and women rights and didnt back down when woke mob tried to scare and cancel her.

That why people respect her. Usually celebrities just get scared for their careers and back track. But she continues to defend what she think is right. Because she is woman herself. And misogynistic men try to attack women. And woke idiots help them.

I think you'll find that she's a hero to anyone who has a basic understanding of human biology.

Eh, if anything, it’s the left that’s singing a different tune about her now. She was a god to them not that long ago, but when she said one little thing not approved by the hive mind, now she’s Hitler 2.0

The right just seemed surprised that she acknowledges biological facts, and like what emori said, they respect that she sticks to her views despite previously bending over to activists such as when she turned Dumbledore gay, or approved blackwashing Hermione by claiming she never described her as white (when clearly she did).

With that said, from what I’ve seen, the right hasn’t forgotten her past pandering and has said she deserves any hate that comes her way, but they’re not gonna let her views ruin their love for Harry Potter.

Five years ago, the MAGA crowd hated her guts, and viewed her as one of the dreaded “feminazis.” People like noted failed screenwriter Ben Shapiro even tried to roast her by claiming that Harry Potter is just a “crappy Lord of the Rings knockoff.” Hell, if you go back even further than that, Bible thumpers were previously trying to get her books banned because they believed they promoted witchcraft.

Some of you guys sure are singing a different tune about her these days, aren’t you?

Exactly. I remember when they said Harry Potter was Satanic.

But many feminists are anti-transgender, the idea that men in dresses can glom on and claim they've suffered male oppression. Transgender theory is not popular on the feminist left.

Don’t forget that time she said Dumbledore was gay…

None of her most vocal recent supporters ever mention that one, curiously.

🤔

I don't know about "Bible thumpers", but conservatives are generally open to what anyone has to say, if it's rational.

Most of the conservatives I know (myself included) do not have such a black/white view of Rowling, or other left/liberals who are admired for some things by people on the right (e.g. Tulsi Gabbard). We recognize that Rowling (like Gabbard) is not one of us; there are more issues perhaps on which we would disagree than agree. But... Rowling is the kind of left/liberal we wish there were more of. We need them, because it's not healthy in society for everyone to think the same way, or to agree on everything all the time. But we also want them to be reasonable people who are willing to agree to disagree with others, and tolerate different viewpoints. You can work with people like that, and reach workable compromises with people of that mindset. That's better for everyone, and it leads to better results in society, instead of a stifling groupthink, which is bad no matter which side it comes from.

We can also admire Rowling and Gabbard for having the moral courage (a rarer and more valuable commodity than physical courage) to be willing to stand up forthrightly for their convictions and their principles, and weather the vitriol, the attacks, and the attempts at cancellation. We can admire this moral courage, even when we disagree with them

That's the sense in which Rowling has become a hero to the right: she is pushing back against woke intolerance, and we can admire her for that, and the courage she shows in doing it; it's not that we suddenly think she's one of us now.
